I have spent more hours than I care to admit scrolling digital storefronts, convincing myself I am only looking. This week’s batch finally justified the damage. There are some genuinely smart buys here, not just filler discounts dressed up as generosity.

This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I’m ensuring we all Don’t Starve by baking a 11th birthday cake for said indie great. When I was famished for things to play on my newly acquired launch PS4, I was surprised when this out-of-nowhere roguelike nourished me for dozens of hours. Being a masochist, there was so much to love about this—the complete lack of farming direction, the Burtonesque atmosphere of a storybook gone bad, and that increasingly bunghole-puckering stress of keeping shadow beasts and stomach grumbles at bay. Holds up quite well today, and you really ought to play this with a mate in the Don’t Starve Together co-op variant.
Aussie birthdays for notable games.
