A huge personal racing achievement, stars have aligned for me to achieve my first podium position in our F1 league, on the 6th race out of 10. What a race this was.

Update: Valve have confirmed to RPS that this withdrawal of support for Steam transactions by one of PayPal's acquiring banks "is regarding content on Steam, related to what we've previously commented on surrounding Mastercard". "In this case, one of PayPal's acquiring banks decided to stop processing any Steam transactions, which cut off PayPal on Steam for a number of currencies," a Valve spokesperson added.

Big. Valve just stated “one of PayPal’s acquiring banks decided to stop processing any Steam transactions” due to content “related to what we’ve previously commented on surrounding Mastercard”

Time to start calling paypros’ banks

NSG Fall 25 is coming soon and the magnificent JC Denton 1 made a nice promo video.

A week before ESA I did a testing run of Deus Ex Mankind Divided at the DX anniversary marathon, and the time of the run was... special

Kainalo - 315 feat. The Tri Paloskis (Official Music Video) YouTube video by Kainalo

Up-and-coming hardbass prodigy Kainalo will be releasing the official MV for his "315" single today. Haven't seen it yet, but I may have seen the room when it was filmed, and oh boy is it going to be a banger.

P.S. Sincere apologies to rooms 316 and 314

that is objectively the worst possible answer, but I believe we can still be friends anyway

What's the best ice cream topping

Fact.

You may have never asked for this, but it's here anyway!

Tomorrow marks the 25th anniversary of the cult classic game series Deus Ex, and our org is hosting a Deus Ex marathon in collaboration with the Deus Ex randomizer + speedrunning communities.

Since our "friendly" F1 league is going on a summer break, because we're all coming to ESA, fellow racer Rum Balls Bradford (aka Sphere) made a lovely compilation of some of the more competent moments we managed to achieve

You might see me there too, playing a Deus Ex game or two

This evening we will be holding the second race of season 2 of our Formula 1 league, this time in Brazil. Practice starts 7pm CEST, quali starts 8pm CEST, race starts right after the quali.

The double rookie duo of McLaren got P5 and P14 (18 player race). Around 7 people sent it too hard and died on the track. Great racing, next race will be in a month or two in Brazil!

How many will survive first corner?

Oh yeah, lot of onstream practice incoming!

This ESA, you'll be able to catch me during No One Lives Forever 2, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Hitman WoA Roulette Run Invalid, Mirror's Edge relay race, and probably some comms here and there as well. Gonna be an exciting event for sure

I love this video, but the fact they didn't program the two-leg's turning by having the legs go opposite direction and instead opted for a useless wiggle appendage on the back, feels like a robbery of that one point

I started working on a "new" speed video essay. The problem is that I already have a lot done, but I did it year and a half ago. My mic has changed, my voice is a bit different, and my skill in that game has since developed a lot. I might give it a "past me & current me collab" spin, could be cute

My No One Lives Forever 2 submission for ESA made it into first picks. Hyped? Very. Already worried about the OOB sections? Very much so
