I've been away for 2 weeks (which I explain on my blog) but now I'm back with a very arid tabs because... well, I didn't do much reading, investigating or even gaming.

• Retro forums. Love this directory of retro forums!
• Valve pushes back on CS 'partner leagues'
• Phil Spencer says Sony held back PS5 devkits, delaying Minecraft among other things. This makes sense to me, though. Of course they didn't share unreleased hardware to devs that are wholly owned by a major competitor.
• Steam summer sale trailer
• Guerrilla Games put up a memorial to Lance Riddick in Horizon

What I'm playing this week:

• Street Fighter 6.
• Almost nothing else, given I was away!
