    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.

    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?

    Have you ever gone a-wandering in the Jonathan Frakes memes?

    Commander Riker from Star Trek: TNG might be his most famous role, but have you ever seen the supercut memes from Beyond Belief? One of them made it into The Verge’s Slack today, which got me thinking you might enjoy them too. Frakes tells journalists that this one is his favorite.

    Today I learned a one-inch camera sensor isn’t one inch — not even diagonally.

    Even if you measure it like a TV, it’s just over half an inch. Misleading much? In fact, you’d need an APS-C or larger sensor to stretch to an inch diagonally — and only full-frame and medium format sensors are more than an inch wide.

    Don’t expect much Pixel Fold at Google I/O.

    We’re seeing headlines suggest the long-awaited foldable might show at Google I/O on May 10th, but I’m not holding my breath. Remember, TheElec reported Google wouldn’t even begin mass production of the most critical component — the foldable screen — ‘till July or August. That pub has good sources in the display industry.

    I guess Google might give us a glimpse, though, alongside Android 14?
