Dang I reserved on May 8th and cant get one till September.
I'm not so confident on their next machines but atleast the reservation system is working.
Really wish we saw the Steam Machine and Frame prices earlier then I'd know if I wanna jump in on that 15min order window.

Valve to no longer offer physical gift cards due to scammers

I guess Coinstar and Gamestop can atill exchange money for wallet codes.
That should make some friends of mine happy who prefer it that way.
Wonder how the cards got that bad they were nice to grab quickly when I happen to have cash on hand but I guess we don't really need them.
I do like to exchange gamestop giftcards for steam wallet codes though when I get gifted one during a steam sale so as long as I can still do that sometimes I'm good.
Can always be creative and get a wallet code on a receipt then put it into a hallmark card with a bit of tape for a simple physical gift.
Heck get dvd cases print out the game you want the giftee to get then ibclude the receipt inside and a qr code to the game's store page would work fine too and feel like a physical gane gift.
I will miss the cards a bit though but we'll live.

Despite the significant price increase, the Steam Deck is already sold out in certain regions

Well I waited too long to get an Oled Deck.
Got my day one order LCD Deck which needs some repairs but it works.
Just poor battery life now.
Scared to see the Frame and Machine prices now but hopefully the frame will surprise us.
If the different kind of ram is safe maybe ARM is the best way to go.
I'd be down for a Steam Deck mini running on arm, pocketable and pretty much the same hardware as the Frame perhaps?
Just gimmie my trackpads and grip buttons with steam input.
A cheaper smaller Steam handheld would be great right now rather than an old expensive one.
Machine wise I don't have faith in it anymore.
Maybe that could gp ARM too eventually if more powerful chips pop up.
Least until the rampocolypse is over cause this price hiking is killing everyones fun.

Retro fantasy slashers Witchaven and Witchaven II: Blood Vengeance get delisted in June

For a few bucka bought it on both platforms.
Nice of them to drop it so low rather than ignpre it but better if it wasnt delisted.
Maybe theres a rerelease out there in the works or just a loss of rights to the IP in general, oh well,
I do wish instead of being delisted they'd instead have a remaining amount of copies left but I guess that creates another issue like high priced steam keys or something.
Hopefully kt comes back somehow

One of the better open world racers as of late.
However the sneaky monetization ruined a lot of it.
Blocking parts and half forcing ingame currency purchases was pretty scummy.
Just hide the fact earning the currency was slow and tedious.
Hopefully fans can revive the game and maybe we can see some limit breaking mods.
Hope the user made cars get archived somehow too.
Shame to just trash it like that.
Eh forget em maybe this will make room for an indie clone.

If you drop (or throw) your new Steam Controller it will scream at you

Hopefully soke communitty made tools pop up to change it to a Portal 2 turret.
Need mine to go "I'm different!" Every couple drops.
Really surprised they never leaned on customizability on the noises for the orignal Steam Controller and now SC2
Steam deck we already got plenty.
Wish i coulda grabbed a controller before but eh wait till the stock is back.

Valve announce a reservation system for the new Steam Controller

Hmm, they did this with Steam Deck, worked well.
Hopefully the turn around isn't an entire year heh.
I want the frame next and wish I knew the price already.
This wait list would be great for that out of the gate.
They really should do this by default with new hardware.

Oh hey I forgot I had that on Steam.
GoG sale is down to a buck nice.
Half expected to be charged for it but I guess if it's still in dosbox they don't cobaider it a significant change to charge for.
Glad they remembered and gave it a little quality of life update.
Guess it might be easier to play on Steam Deck if I remember what keys to vind again heh.
Good time to try it again.

As long as it has a good foundation Im sure the dev will flesh it out more like their last game but it's definitely a wait and see thing.
I was hoping for more from the game mechanics so hopefully some updates make it more interesting.
Least the price isn't bad.
