They recently also had a follow-up on the podcast in the wake of the Adobe animate announcement (prior to the update) which is worth a listen to in terms of how it would effect the game.

Comment on Humble Choice - February 2026 in ~games
Slystuff LinkNothing that screams instant yes to me personally, (had been planning to buy at some point etc) but there's also enough that I'm curious enough to try but wouldn't go out of my way to buy otherwise.Nothing that screams instant yes to me personally, (had been planning to buy at some point etc) but there's also enough that I'm curious enough to try but wouldn't go out of my way to buy otherwise.

Slystuff Link ParentFrom a few reports of people at the recording it sounds like even this was edited down, claims of it lasting up to an hour. Hopefully they'll still release a separate outtakes video for the rest...From a few reports of people at the recording it sounds like even this was edited down, claims of it lasting up to an hour.
Hopefully they'll still release a separate outtakes video for the rest of the episode. Imagine there will be some great moments from later on that didn't make the broadcast.

Press continues to talk them up for the next general election due in 2029.They then royally screw up in every council that they take control of over the rest of the year.
Press continues to talk them up for the next general election due in 2029.Potentially more long term than 2026, Biden outlives Trump.

Comment on The iPhone 16e is good, actually in ~tech
Slystuff Link ParentFor the most part yes, but from my read of it I'd say the intended point is to check the local value proposition, compared to what the larger (mainly US focused) reviewers may say.For the most part yes, but from my read of it I'd say the intended point is to check the local value proposition, compared to what the larger (mainly US focused) reviewers may say.

- 29 games played (5 more than last year)
- 199 achievements (56 fewer than last year)
- 75/25 split between keyboard & mouse vs controller
Outside of using Fantasy Grounds, top games played were Hi-Fi Rush and Citizen Sleeper.
Otherwise the only stat that really stood out to me is apparently I played nothing via Steam that was released in 2025. All bar one every game played is listed under the "Recent" time frame of released in the last 1-7 years, the outlier being Spec Ops the Line, which I finally got around to playing this year.

Latitude I was far more off than I thought, had myself pegged much further north than I really am. Though mainly because I'd forgotten the actual range it covers, if I were to adjust that as a percentage of possible range I'm at least on the right landmass....

In particular found Torvalds take on the state of AI to be nuanced and genuinely realistic.

Not at the same spend category, but I once bought a replacement remote for some led lights because I couldn't find the original one I had only for it to turn up within a week of the new one arriving....

I finished this earlier today, having been gradually playing a chapter or two per session over the last couple of weeks. What at first felt like it would be a fairly straight forward how did we get to this event narrative based on the opening somethings happened tease, it ended up being a lot more with various little twists and turns and hints to them that can potentially seem obvious in hind sight.
