The PS4 light at the front is a nice gimmick, but it drains the battery and when set too bright really annoys me when I play at night. It’s not an issue when I connect the controller via DS4 Windows, but many games on Steam (and increasable EPIC) support the PS4 controller natively. This means … Read more
The other day Nate was kind enough to gift me a game while it was on sale. Thank you Nate! I guess he meant to gift me and someone else the same game, but accidentally gifted it to me twice. Double-thanks, Nate (it was a Double-Fine game after all). Not in the need for two … Read more
I had no problem playing Subnautica Below Zero on Steam during the Early Access period, or at least for the 6 months leading up to its release in May 2021. The moment this happened, my trusty golden Playstation 4 controller started behaving rather weirdly. It took me some time to figure out that it was … Read more

Sometimes I’d like to take a screenshot and was wondering if there’s a way to do this with just the controller – and it turns … Read more
I’ve just picked up a copy of Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved on Steam. I used to love this twin-stick arcade shooter since I first discovered it in Project Gotham Racing. I had the Xbox 360 version too, and haven’t thought about it for many years. I didn’t even know it was available on Steam until … Read more
I’ve recently seen what I thought could be an interesting game called Filament. It had just been released, and I thought I’d buy it. They had it on offer through Humble Bundle. They had it on sale, I was hyped, and I bought it. I even went via a friend’s referral code to support him. … Read more
