    251 Love at First Light

    Good news: The Steam Deck came back in stock. Bad news: It's $200 more expensive and already sold out. This week, we discuss how global supply chains are pricing normal people (and kids) out of video games, and what that means for the future of the medium. Plus: Building the '90s video store of our dreams and what makes James Bond so damn cool after all these years.

    250 The Steam Controller Is the Best Gamepad I've Ever Touched

    Roblox needs to be regulated out of existence according to Rich Stanton at PC Gamer, and we wholeheartedly agree. We discuss the profit machinations that incentivize kids to make games that fleece other kids. Colette continues her Resident Evil adventures with DLC for RE4, and opens the doors on her dream thrift shop in Thrifty Business.   Matt continues his Arc Raiders grind and spends a few hours with the new Steam Controller, which is all the time he needs to declare it the GOAT.

    249 There Sure Are a Lot of People Playing Subnautica 2 Right Now

    Subnautica 2 released in Early Access this week. Within 1 hour, there were 100,000 people playing it on Steam alone. By mid-day, there were half a million. By the end of it, they had sold 2 million copies and counting. Colette & Matt discuss how this indie darling shot to the top everyone's wishlist, and how its developer Unknown Worlds (tentatively) won the legal battle against its slimy corporate overlords. Plus: Colette continues her Resident Evil journey into the 5th game where the scariest thing is the racism. And Matt revisits the surreal dungeon crawler/RPG Caves of Qud, where turns are time, and water is money.
