Updates from the gang as they explore the show
The RPS treehouse is quiet today, with most the gang gone to that London forEGX 2022. We’re running a Steam Deck Zone filled with minicomps and havea showcase of games with weird controller experiences, and I imagine they’ll also be playing games, chatting, attending talks, loitering, expanding their LinkedIn networks, and other such expo activities. Kindly, they’re going to check in across the day, texting us all with updates on what they’re seeing, doing, and (I imagine) eating. And Ollie might join in from home with cat photos.
Our live coverage of this event has finished.
