What is this thing?
Come back Saturday morning to find out.
Update: It’s a Polaroid — after we used a new CT scanner to digitally melt it down to its densest components. And here’s how its ejection mechanism works.

The Steam Deck and Steam’s Big Picture Mode now support custom startup movies.
It got a little buried in my story about how the Steam Deck is on sale for the first time ever, so just want to make sure you see! You can use them with your desktop too when you launch Big Picture Mode.

One does not simply build an OLED Steam Deck.
Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais tells PC Gamer that a new screen is not exactly a “drop-in” or “incremental” upgrade. Is he hinting we won’t see a mid-cycle refresh like Nintendo did when it introduced the Nintendo Switch OLED?
Valve’s Steam Deck designers told me months ago that screen and battery are the pain points they’d most like to address in an eventual sequel.

A real glimpse at Disney’s retractable Star Wars lightsaber from SXSW.
Finally we can see what all the fuss was about! Here’s how it apparently works. Shame you can’t touch one, not even if you pay thousands to stay in the fancy Star Wars hotel.
Disney also showed off a new robotic stuntbunny: Judy from Zootopia.

Leave no friend behind.
It truly is a golden era for gaming. Crossplay, backwards compatibility, PC ports, historic re-releases and cloud streaming are finally keeping the hardware you own from restricting your gaming possibilities.
Now, with Discord voice chat finally on PlayStation, plus Xbox, PC and phones, you can finally, effortlessly bring friends along for the ride.
Your turn to add Discord, Nintendo. Maybe in time for Call of Duty on Switch?
