Steam Summer Sale 2026 Has Begun

RDR2! I was actually willing to pay full price for it just a week ago because I need a chill open world game to play after getting my wisdom teeth pulled next week. But then I saw No man's Sky in my library and got distracted playing that so I didn't buy RDR2. That was very lucky. I'll have to see which one ends up being the game I actually play.

I also picked up Half-Life Alyx. It's actually kinda surprising that I haven't played it yet after like 5 years of owning a VR headset, but I never played Half-Life 1 or 2 so I felt like I probably wouldn't have the context to really get it. I might finally get to playing those two soon so having Alxy ready to go makes sense!

Bold to assume there are any entry level jobs for young people to get into the work force haha

Really does suck though. I'm just about at a point in my career where working hard has somewhat paid off (I'm pretty irreplaceable due to having very specific knowledge about our software and infrastructure). I'm absolutely using that power to ransom my manager into treating the Junior Dev I'm mentoring way better than he would otherwise. I'm actually insisting that he gets his promotion to Regular at least 6 months earlier than is company standard, as well as at least a 12% raise this year. Just because my Junior is great, so I'm giving him way easier access to my domain knowledge which makes him irreplaceable as well. And guess who's handing in her resignation tomorrow, so the company has to scramble for a replacement 😎

Valve won’t subsidise its pricey Steam Machine as there’s no guarantee the open system will be used for Steam

I'm guessing it's for the people who like the form factor and don't really care for building their own pc and managing their own OS on it? Honestly if I hadn't already built a decent PC just recently I might have been interested in the Steam Machine, even at the current price point. Just seems like a pretty easy way to get into Gaming on Linux

As a woman, I kinda thought for a second that the costume on the left looks kinda cool. Then I remembered chub rub exists and visibly recoiled. It would be so painful to walk around in that jfc

Solve for X

Those sudokus are still completely deterministc and there's only one right solution. The designers that make them usually include extra rules, like diagonals having different numbers or numbers not reocurring within certain distance of each other, to make them solveable. It's a really cool challenge to make a sudoku like that :D
