HP “interested” in using Steam Deck OS on a handheld gaming PC, skipping Windows

It looks like the handheld gaming PC market could see even more competition, and it’s all down to the success of the Steam Deck. HP is reportedly interested in creating a gaming handheld, but only if it can use SteamOS to do so, with a HP executive claiming that they “struggle” with the Windows alternative on these small-screen gaming devices. A HP handheld would compete with the best handheld gaming PCs out there, including the Steam Deck, while using the same Linux operating system as Valve's ...

Polygon icon 158 days, 23 hours, 13 minutes ago by Rafael Motamayor

Jurassic Park is a horror franchise. Though it’s best remembered for its sense of awe and groundbreaking visual effects, Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-winning 1993 movie is also a scary gorefest, with brutal kills and plenty of dino jump scares. This is an element of that original winning formula that the reboot trilogy lacked: the horror influences...

The Witcher 4 won't come out before 2027, so chill out would you

The Witcher 4 may have entered its "most intensive" production phase but it won't be gracing your whirring machinery any time in the next year or two. During a financial call for people in suits with lots of money, the developer said they were hoping to give shareholders value for money, "even though we do not plan to release The Witcher 4 by the end of 2026." Basically confirming what you probably could've guessed anyway: there's no plan to bring the RPG sequel out before 2027.

Soberly breaking down the plot, mechanics and presentation of InCARceration would be like trying to cook a meal, win a spelling bee or perform a sneak-attack after being welded inside a car. So I will say only that this is an amusing bizarro take on WarioWare that makes me yearn for other, bizarro takes on WarioWare. You may find it cathartic if you've had any dealings with obtuse legal systems lately. A Kafkar sim, perhaps. Yeah, that'll do. Play it in a browser here. If you've already tried it...
