Wonder if I can find a surgeon on Fiverr who'll cut out the part of my brain that cares about football

YouTubers are stealing my photos. I've finally made it!

One of the quieter things I like about the new Steam Controller is that if you mentally erase the trackpads, it looks a bit like the original, sadly abandoned banana design for the PS3 controller:

Re. RPS freelance, I now have a budget for irregular (maybe 6-12 pieces a year) 2000-3000 wordish, more granular and specific reporting and investigative criticism that broaches a new topic or addresses a gap in knowledge regarding something familiar.
