Steamship Ahoy - Hacknet

Steam News invokes a little Morpheus as they announce the release of Hacknet for Windows, a new hax0r simulation that carries a 20% launch discount for the coming week. Here's word:

Hacknet is an immersive, terminal-based hacking simulator for PC. Dive down a rabbit hoIe as you follow the instructions of a recently deceased hacker, whose death may not have been the accident the media reports. Using old school command prompts and real hacking processes, you’ll solve the mystery with minimal hand-holding and a rich world full of secrets to explore.

TY the Tasmanian Tiger 4 Next Month

Krome Studios announces TY the Tasmanian Tiger 4, saying this is coming to Windows PCs via Steam on September 18th. This is a bit unexpected in a couple of regards, as this had previously been a console only series, and the previous installment was released back in 2005. Here's word:

We’re so happy to get this fourth TY game on to Steam for a world-wide release – out in just over a month!

It’s taken a bit of time to get things together for this but now many of you will finally be able to continue the adventures of TY with this ripper full-fledged TY story that continues on from the events of Night of the Quinkan.

We hope you enjoy the game when it’s released next month and that TY4 is just the first of the series to make its way to Steam! Hopefully the support we’ll get from the community from the release of TY4 will help us achieve this!

Out of the Blue

Was toasting some bread last night and when I returned to the kitchen after a short absence, I found it filling with smoke. It seems the timer gave out on the toaster oven, and it didn't shut off upon reaching zero. It was pretty shocking how quickly this escalated, as I wasn't out of the kitchen for more than a minute before discovering the problem, though the bread was clearly already overcooking when I departed. Anyway, I got it all taken care of before it became a real disaster, and the toaster oven is out with the trash. The good news is the smell of burnt bread is kind of pleasant, so the bit of odor that still lingers is not a big problem. I'm just thankful, as under other circumstances this could have resulted in a house fire. Scary.
