    Hey look, an AMD 9070 finally hit its promised $549.

    Does a sale count? Either way, seven months later, Newegg is finally selling an entry-level RX 9070 at MSRP rather than scalping it. Guess it wasn’t “launch-only pricing” after all.

    (In case you’re wondering why I call it “scalping,” I did a dive into changing sticker prices back in April.)

    Today I’m toying with the GPD Win 5, the most powerful handheld ever.

    You know how Sony’s quietly building a PS5-grade handheld? GPD’s kind of already done it — by stuffing the monster AMD Strix Halo chip in the Framework Desktop and ROG Flow Z13 gaming tablet into a handheld that needs SO MUCH electricity. Preorders are live at Indiegogo.

    Messenger is a tiny tranquil world, for free, in your browser.

    I could say more, but I think Aftermath’s Luke Plunkett has it just right: there’s nothing stopping you. Just click this link and try. At a time when buying video games is getting more confusing and expensive, it’s a breath of fresh air.

    N64 Game Boy.

    Two Game Boy masterpieces in a week: first the Lego Game Boy, now this incredible Game Boy Micro build. Bonus points for repurposing the Rumble Pak slot as a Game Boy Advance cartridge slot. Feels so right!
