Welcome to a Thursday of high-end hardware savings. For starters, you can get a chunk of change off the sumptuous screen stylings of the Steam Deck OLED. For seconds, there’s a bit of a fire sale going on for the discontinuing Meta Quest 3 128GB. Take it from an owner of both; these are very worthy acquisitions and gateways to hours of fun.
In retro news, I’m celebrating the PC bday of Sonic CD, a port from the ill-fated Mega-CD. It started as a Sonic 1 enhancement but bloomed into a unique, Back to the Future romp, and my 16-bit brain was blown by this version’s superior 60fps, CD crisp soundtrack, anime cutscenes, and the Super Peel Out mechanic. It also debuted Amy Rose, Super Mario Kart-looking Special Stages, and the coolest villain 2D Sonic ever got—Metal Sonic. Oh, and let’s not forget its actual save system. No more leaving the PC on for days for me!
