I'll tell you what I love about my Steam Deck. I can install a game like Mashed, which I bought over 10 years ago, and it works absolutely perfectly on Steam Deck. Makes me feel like my Steam digital library will always - barring the apocalypse - be there for me.

Also, no ads!
What a home screen, is this actually a Nintendo console?

And by 'ads' I'm also referring to general clutter, actually.

Goodboy Galaxy has arrived! 🙌 (I was going to do a joke about the postman being a 'good boy' but a woman delivered the parcel so there goes that opportunity)

Another absolutely gorgeous @APWOTmag (Astro Bot deservedly on the cover). I love the design choice that the text on every two-page spread is self-contained, ending cleanly with a full stop so that no sentence ever spills over to the next page. *Nods appreciatively*

Chip's Challenge really is an excellent game.
Back when Microsoft was desperate for people to play games in Windows.

When he cleared the spotlights he must've been thinking "ok I'm officially off-stage now"

I love the fact that Dead Cells references Slay the Spire (amongst it's many other references). These are my two favourite indie games of all-time.

Gator is one of my all-time fave GB games, such a brilliant pinball table. I've always wanted to play Mole Mania, so I'm looking forward to this.
Three games are coming to Game Boy – Nintendo Classics for #NintendoSwitchOnline members on Oct 27! ☑️ Avenging Spirit ☑️ Mole Mania ☑️ Pinball: Revenge of the 'Gator

I've hearted a lot of people's Xbox 25 controller pics today 🎮😀 It's the most gorgeous controller since the Forza 5 one, I reckon.

This controller is a beauty. Great timing too, because I've just got Star Wars Galactic Racer.

Day off work today. Please applaud me, I managed to get out and do a run rather than just picking up a games controller 😄

I completed Jett Rider this evening, an absolute gem of a game from @LastChickenGame which I recommend if you enjoy pixelated 2D shooters. There are many gaming references here, from Arkanoid to Zelda. There's even some genuine humour! There's a free demo too 👾

What a truly revolutionary game Metroid Prime was on the GameCube. And this is my Metroid Prime Pak that was the beginning of my adventures with the cute little cube.

I applaud @WaveGameDev for doing what Nintendo (crazily) has failed to do and given us a modern day Wave Race 🌊
In honor of Wave Race's 30th anniversary today, here's the first prototype I made of Tokyo Wave Rush. I used this scene to study graphics and game-feel. #indiedev #watersimulation
