How is it already May 20th?! The weather is picking up, Analogue are releasing a new console for Q4 distribution and we're hitting peak "E3 season." Which is to say, E3 isn't happening, but the PR mania still is.

• PC Engine top 50 games. Very detailed Twitter thread to set you up!
• Bitmap books' PC Engine release is available for order.
• Analogue released Duo. A PC Engine emulator, hence the above links!
• Blue Suburbia demo
• PlayStation Showcase next week. First one in two years, and it's being touted as a big one.

• Why does Tears of the Kingdom sound so good?

What I'm playing this week:

• Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru (translated: the frog for whom the bell tolls) on GB.
• Dredge on Steam Deck
• FIFA 23 on PS5. I know.

I'm also watching an enormous amount of the Blast.tv CSGO major in Paris. My beloved Team Liquid has been wiped out per last night, but that plays nicely into the underdog narrative that this final major tournament offers, ahead of CS2's full release.
