    Microsoft has *every* Xbox QA tester hunting for Starfield bugs.

    Microsoft gaming boss Phil Spencer, on Giant Bomb:

    I think Matt [Booty] says we have every QA person in our entire company playing Starfield right now.

    Xbox studios head Matt Booty:

    I see bug counts and just by the numbers if it shipped today, Starfield would already have the fewest bugs of any Bethesda game ever shipped.

    I’m taking this with a grain of salt, particularly because Video Game Apology Notes are in vogue. But maybe? Microsoft’s reputation can’t afford another Redfall, and Spencer knows it.

    Literally every QA employee at Xbox is working on Starfield, says Phil Spencer

    Go vote on new Lego sets?

    The second round of voting in Lego’s 2023 BrickLink Designer Program has just begun, meaning another chance for you to help Lego pick five fan-designed sets to produce. Fingers crossed for the Sub Sandwich Shop to shine this time! I would also happily own a Galactic Medical Transport or this mobile-home-on-a-big-rig, though.

    Lego Hocus Pocus.

    The latest fan design to become an official Lego set: The Sanderson Sisters’ cottage from Hocus Pocus. It’s a little less spacious than the original Lego Ideas submission, but still sure to put a spell on a certain persuasion of grown-up ‘90s kids! It’s $230, coming July 4th. Yes, Mary can fly the vacuum.

    No, robo-Ryu from Street Fighter vs. dinosaur was *not* on my bingo card.

    In fact, Exoprimal wasn’t on my radar at all... but I might have to check this out? The trailer’s age-gated, so you’ll have to click through to watch it on YouTube or see it here via Twitter. The game’s coming July 14th, but the Street Fighter collab won’t arrive till fall. Capcom says Ryu and Guile are “Exosuit skins” your character can wear.

    Google is still playing whack-a-mole with fake Dick’s.

    By the time I click, the email’s usually gone. It’s fascinating how Google can reach into your inbox to delete stuff.

    But I can testify that the Dick’s keep getting through Gmail’s spam filters — they’ve seemingly been penetrated for good.
