I won the lottery for the 256GB variant in the US, for what it's worth. Otherwise, based on the community tracker, it's about a 2:3 ratio of reservations to waitlists so far?

Yeah, I think they moved to requiring accounts even for gift articles at some point, which is annoying. At least they still bypass the need for a subscription?
I'm pretty sure everything after the ? is the "gift article" part that's required by the "New York Times gift articles" sublemmy.
This might be less funny than it first appears, since companies often had a policy where developers were required to be listed under pseudonyms or worse, go completely uncredited.
No idea if that's the case here, but it's plausible "Booby Master" was basically a form of protest, or at least making a joke out of a bad situation.
This is a complete nothingburger article that's just repeating Tyler McVicker's speculation. I like McVicker, but to act like his guess is insight from a "Valve insider" is dogshit-tier journalism.
From The Guardian article on the same incident:
The defendant, Sam Tunick, was stopped for interrogation at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport on 24 January last year, after vacationing in the Dominican Republic. Unbeknown to him, federal authorities had put him on a terrorism watchlist because of his alleged association with the movement against Cop City.
"A few weirdos on the Internet used Photoshop, so now we're ragebaiting it for engagement to make a few pennies on X."
The next paragraph after that one:
The game is published directly by FromSoftware in Japan, but overseas distribution is handled by Bandai Namco. According to the investment fund, this arrangement resulted in a “material profit leakage” for the company.
So, it sounds like they're unhappy that Kadokawa let Bandai Namco take a cut.
Beyond the fact that I generally like Valve hardware and could use another spare controller, I mainly want it to play Guild Wars 2 on my TV. As an MMO, it obviously has a lot of inputs that make using a traditional controller for it difficult. I already created a custom layout for the Steam Deck which works pretty well for me, but I'd really rather use my far more powerful desktop PC and TV when I'm at home, which the Steam Controller should allow me to do.
I haven't played it myself, but KLETKA is similar to Lethal Company or R.E.P.O.
Not sure what genre they're considered to be, but I've sometimes heard them referred to as "friendslop", although the term seems overbroad.
Yeah, the image is from the same reality as the normal manga/anime's world.
The character in the middle is a human but acts like and wants to be treated like a cat since she's given up on the harsh realities of adulthood (relatable, tbh) so she wears cat ears and a collar. The "witch" in the top right considers herself a bard (even if she's terrible at it), so she's got a medieval bard-ish hat with an outfit to match (which you can't see in the image).
Oh my god, you're the reason why the reservation queue got pushed back to 2027!
