    Steam Deck hits 10,000 games.

    Note: Valve’s “verified” and “playable” lists of titles haven’t always been reliable, since Valve doesn’t playtest the entirety of a game last we checked. Also, some verified games run at 30fps and/or drain battery quick. But it’s a good ballpark.

    For me, it never ceases to amaze: We now live in a world where a Linux handheld can competently play Windows games.

    Someone’s about to be IRL Gollum.

    The One Ring card — which automatically became the rarest in all of Magic: The Gathering because Wizards only made a single copy found only in expensive packs — has been graded. The search is over.

    Collectors have promised millions of dollars to whoever finds it.

    Jsaux’s RGB transparent back cover for Steam Deck is $40 next month.

    They tell us the $40 PC0106 has its own battery, but it’s not clear what kind. Is that a USB-C port and a button on the back to fire up the LEDs, right beneath the Deck’s volume keys? Seems like! We’re asking.

    More here, including Jsaux’s new RGB dock — which has an expanding stand so it can work with other handhelds as well.

    We need Google Reader more than ever.

    I feel Epic CEO Tim Sweeney very strongly on this. But there’s an way for web browsing to feel much less horrible: RSS.

    What if, say, a big internet company facing an existential crisis and growing trust issues decided to reverse its mistake and bring the beloved product back? What if they built in — I don’t know, not like they’ve ever done this before — a way to pay creators?

    Imagine the goodwill Google would get just by trying it.

    Razer’s new flagship mouse isn’t a Logitech rip.

    Razer’s flagship Basilisk mice were, to put it mildly, inspired by the best-selling Logitech G502. But the new $130 Cobra Pro is once again happily a Razer design through and through.

    The sculpting hearkens back to the famous DeathAdder and the more recent Viper, though now with Chroma RGB underglow — not to mention wired, wireless 2.4GHz and Bluetooth modes, up to 170 hours of (quoted) battery life, optional wireless charging, optical switches, and a 30K optical sensor.

    Last chance to vote on these limited-edition Lego sets.

    Papa wants an Exoplanet Explorer to go along with the reimagined OG spaceship. You’ll help me out, right? Or maybe a literal sub sandwich shop. Or a working desk fan. Or an amazing arcade. Or a gorgeous train station. You’ve got till 12PM PT June 30th to vote on your fan-designed favs.

    Brent Waller’s Exoplanet Explorer. He also designed the arcade that’s up for voting.
