Oh for sure, in that case it helps! Isn’t a mobile airco a option for you? I mean even with a open window and leading the hose outside would make a huge difference. If you can find a way to have it work with windows even closed is even better.
And GAME has already denied those reports as being false.
Update: Game denies the claims, telling VGC, “this reporting is categorically not true”
Meh… northern Germany. Aircon is hardly worth it, tbh. And having grown up in Australia, I don’t mind a little heat for a few days.

Here in the American South, the fact that today ONLY feels like mid 90s (Fahrenheit) is strangely a blessing. I’m no stranger to heat, but this heatwave has been something else. No break either - no rain, no partially cooler day. Just bake.
Centralized AC/Heating though, means my game room/office is a perfect 67 degrees. So I get to watch the world fry through a closed window, and try not to think about what this means for the environment as a whole.

It wouldn’t surprise me though - there used to be 6 Game stores and 3 GameStations (were bought by Game years ago) a decade ago in my city (plus we had some Electronics Boutiques back in the day, and we’ve still got 3 CeXs).
There were 0 GameStations but still about 3 or 4 Game stores about 4 years ago - since then, every single one has closed and there’s just a tiny concession in two of the Sports Direct stores and an Arena store where they gouge parents for parties (in a weird area of the city centre too).
They have a few consoles, probably around 30 games across all the platforms in the concessions and a ton of junk like Funko Pops and other tat - and there’s no dedicated Game staff, you just pick up what you want and take it to the Sports Direct counter (who then have to go into the warehouse as it’s all just display boxes).
If any of the games are on sale rather than full RRP, the staff don’t seem to bother updating the prices so you’d never know, and they seem to only occasionally refresh it so often the latest games aren’t actually in the display.
Other than picking up online orders if you can’t wait for delivery (and to be honest, console pre-orders are about the only thing Game was still decent for as they had an OK queueing system) there’s little to no point in them anymore - they might as well stop stocking physical as I’m not sure they’ve sold one from the concession closest to me in months now 
If the Arena was closer and had a community rather than constantly trying to get birthday parties etc. in I might give that a try at least, but I live near the biggest shopping area and we’ve just got the one concession which is weird as there used to be 2 GAME stores just in the one mall!

There’s a new mission that will link up to the sequel.

Just installed Hall Effect sticks in my SteamDeck OLED, took less than 10 minutes and feel great 
.
Does anyone have experience of upgrading their Xbox controllers with Hall Effect sticks? From what I can see online they all require an element of soldering which is not my favourite thing

We always have the central heat or AC on too in Minnesota. But about that rain… it seems to all have come here, lots of flooding, pretty much rained all summer

Well give you ABK with no drawbacks. But this one…this one scares me.

I doubt they’ll be found guilty and there are remedies they can also drag this for a long ass time. This teams bundling accusation seems like it’s been over 2 years since they’ve been making the accusation.
Ok, now this is interesting!
Jump instead.
Like Mario.
