On Steam right now: Radiant Silvergun is US$7.79, its lowest price on record. Rolling Gunner is 70% off at US$5.99, also a record low, and Raiden V: Director's Cut is US$8.99. If you like twin-stick shooters, Assault Android Cactus is US$3.99.

Four covers side by side: Radiant Silvergun, with dark ships against a sunset sky; Rolling Gunner, with a white and orange fighter; Raiden V: Director's Cut, with a red fighter over explosions; and Assault Android Cactus, with a green-haired android in front of a giant robot.

A two panel meme of the Simpsons. The top panel has kirk van houten gesturing to a race care bed. The text reads "im an AI guy. How many local models do YOU run?" The bottom panel is homer with a pope hat photoshopped onto his head. The bottom text reads "I run the catholic church."

If you, btw, would like an example of a place where data centres are *actually* being restricted by legislation, go look at Denmark - where they are now last in the grid connection queue, prioritising socially valuable load growth (like electrification, heating, cooling, new homes) first
Denmark Puts Data Centers Last in New Grid Law
Denmark's emergency grid law puts data centers last behind households and green-transition projects, formalizing rationing that began in February 2026.

I’m guest editing the next issue of Agita; send me your weirdest <1000 word stories about weird art.

Authors from marginalized backgrounds encouraged and prioritized.

No AI bullshit.

The weirder the better.

agitamag.com/submissions/
Issue 3: Ekphrasis Between October 17 and November 17, guest editor Zachary Gillan will accept submissions of weird flash fiction that features ekphrasis. Ekphrasis is the verbal representation of a work of visual art. Weird fiction is a verbal representation of the world, in order to unsettle it. We want stories that live at the intersection of the two. Pieces that emphasize the eerie power of weird art, whether fully ekphrastic or embedded within a traditional narrative. How does the weird seep in as reality is doubly estranged from these two layers of representation? Cursed paintings, uncanny statues, haunted mezzotints-send us your stories of weird art. Publication date: February 1, 2027
