    And speaking of incredible arms...

    Have we figured out yet whether Cloud’s arms are... augmented... in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth? Jay and I were just talking about a very important investigation he conducted back in the day.

    The new GoPro can give you Mrs. Incredible arms (or, you know, huge field of view).

    Becca goes all elastic to show off the Max Mod 2. It’s a $100 interchangeable lens that’s the most exciting part of the $400 GoPro Hero 12 Black — because it adds a 177-degree field of view.

    Get your cheap SSDs while you can? Samsung’s slashing NAND production by 50 percent.

    Memory chips are big business for Samsung, but a glut recently saw the company’s total profit fall 95 percent.

    Now, the company’s reportedly cutting NAND production by half to juice those prices — which means all-time low SSD deals won’t last. (via Tom’s Hardware)

    “We have never made a public statement before. That is how badly you fucked up.”

    Mega Crit, developers of Slay the Spire — a rogue deckbuilder that has a permanent spot on my Steam Deck — has weighed in on the Unity situation with a clear, concise, and seemingly justified ultimatum. The quote is one for the ages, but the whole statement is great.

    ATX motherboards should die — but Asus can’t kill ‘em alone.

    Why do we still fill our PCs with ugly cables, including troublesome new GPU power? Asus has the same Q. On Sept. 15th, it should launch that new GPU we showed you which pulls power from a new HPCE motherboard header — in China, anyhow.

    It’s calling the initiative “Advanced BTF”, but partnerships with Silverstone and Thermaltake aren’t enough to show this has legs. “We welcome everyone to join the BTF Alliance,” says Asus.

    Can’t wait to play PS5 on my $50 Chromecast later today.

    No joke: Sony is officially releasing its PS Remote Play app on Android TV, specifically for 4K Google Chromecasts and Sony’s own A95L TV. Like with PS4, the app lets you sling PS5 games to a different room of your house.

    It’s not live yet, though: The app doesn’t show up on my Chromecast, and Google Play says “This item is not compatible with your device.”

    USB lightsaber. Separate rolling eyeballs.

    What’s better than a Mandalorian Jedi? A USB-powered one, of course. Not only does Hot Toys’ 11-inch tall Sabine Wren action figure reach uncanny levels of photorealistic, her miniature lightsaber lights up green thanks to USB-powered LEDs.

    Oh, and you can roll her eyes at Ahsoka. Pre-orders are $271, figures ship mid to late next year. This Obi-Wan figure might beat her to a USB lightsaber by a few months, though.
