It's summertime! Work is cranking up to 11 to get things done before we really hit European quiet time in July & August, but it feels summertime-esque. Not least because the weather has been fab in Ireland.

• Giant Bomb talks over Summer Games fest. Not a specific link but the homepage will get you where you need to go. We've not had this since E3!
• Power Armour
• Tetris... with sand!
• Nintendo's claim that emulation stifles innovation is ridiculous. This is a company that used open source emulation to figure out how to bring their catalogue to Switch.
• Final Fantasy VII Rebirth trailer
• CS2 has loadoats. Valorant innovated, CS2 perfected.

What I'm playing this week:

• Street Fighter 6.
• Whatever sustains me on a 6 hour flight next week.
