Just a Dad with a Steam Deck
NBA 2K26 on the Steam Deck feels just as familiar as it did on my Xbox a decade ago and that's... exactly the problem. Still, it runs great and plays comfortably, but 2K26 is yet another expensive roster update with a fresh coat of paint.
Mechanism's Kickstand 2 and the JSAUX ModCase Adapter can turn your Steam Deck into a super flexible desk setup. Solid build, endless viewing angles and full access to Mechanism's accessory ecosystem, all for a low buy-in.
Super late, but here's my Q2 2026 wrap featuring Dishonored, a whole month of Nintendo Wii, Ayn Thor Pro nonsense and paying full price for a video game for the first time in... I don't even know. What a ride.
This one will be a little different to the rest. More Dad than Deck. I recently picked up hand, foot and mouth disease. The short of it: it fucking stinks.
After a few months of refreshing my email, the Steam Controller finally landed on my doorstep. Was it worth the wait? Here's my first impressions primarily as a Steam Deck user. I'll be covering the hardware, the feel in hand and how I'm actually going to use this thing.
Another Steam sale, another wallet massacre. It's a bloodbath. I walked away with nineteen new games. Indiana Jones, Far Cry, Resident Evil and an absolutely absurd pile of point and click adventure games. Why? Exactly.
The Longest Journey is often remembered as one of the greatest point and click adventure games ever made. After finally getting to it, I found an ambitious adventure severely hamstrung by frustrating puzzles, sluggish pacing and execution that rarely matched its ideas.
IO Interactive have delivered the James Bond game fans have wanted for, uh... ever. 007 First Light blends confident storytelling, satisfying gameplay and cinematic presentation into an adventure that feels every bit as authentic as the films while confidently establishing its own identity.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars proves there's more to Rockstar's handheld experiment than most people remember. Nearly twenty years later, it still feels fresh. It's packed full of clever ideas and it's perfectly suited to modern dual-screen devices like the Ayn Thor.
Dishonored sat in my backlog for years before completely blowing me away. I rated it a 9.5/10, I figured the best way to pay that recommendation forward was with a giveaway.
