Hmm. I wonder if that will be bundled into the Ultimate subscription.
As for the GwG games, I've been playing the a lot of NHL lately, it's in the EA Access vault.
As ‘Game Of Thrones’ Ends, HBO’s ‘Chernobyl’ Quietly Becomes IMDB’s Highest Rated Show In History
And yeah, as others have alluded to, I've installed Fallout and the Metro games since this series started. Now to actually take the time to play them :p
EVGA - Articles - EVGA Z10 RGB Keyboard
I'm not sure I'd use them, but I like the idea of extra macro keys next to the arrow keys and the adjustable wrist rest.
The non-RGB version had a pretty rough time w/ Amazon reviews it looks like.
Digital version has a commentary for any that are interested in that sort of thing. It's not great but there are a few interesting pieces here and there.
First board game night since February this weekend.
Ravine - this was pretty fun, kind of like a card version of Mountain of Madness. We enjoyed it and played it a couple of times.
Dead 'til Dawn - meh. Played it twice, game just kinda ends. Survival / zombie game card game.

The sensationalist headline is 'Jupiter's great red spot is going away!' - but what we do know for now is that there are big changes occurring, not sure if they're longer term changes or not yet. The storm has been encircled by this brown band and appears to be diminished somewhat as high level...
The black k70 was on display, was considering the white one on sale.

The biggest concern w/ Starlink is the possibility that there will never be a 'clear' night sky again when you might be able to see 20 of these at a time overhead. Terrestrial-based astronomy and astrophotography may never be the same also.
I like it too, but Discord is already somewhat doing a bit of this. GOG's client is a bit more overt and better put together at a glance (more focus on the library stuff). With Discord it just feels like some platform features slipped into my community app.
For those that don't use it or don't...
Demo for Heavy Rain is up. It wasn't initially working (restart the client) and someone replied to the demo twitter thread with who the killer is, does that pretty much ruin the game?
Steam spring cleaning event. I kind of like how this is all based around my library, if they had a weekly or monthly event like this I'd probably dig into my library a lot more just for a stupid badge.
New Game Pass titles.

Not sure it matters all that much, MS will just release another console in 4-5 years. That's their stated strategy. This is probably Sony's last console to allow them to put real emphasis on offline play if xCloud / Stadia / etc gain any traction.
My hope is for more of the cross-console play...
