Hey guys,

So I was out doing a bit of butterfly hunting in Second Life using my Celestial Butterfly, just casually grinding and enjoying the moment, when I stumbled onto something that made me do a double take.

While browsing around, I found not one but two Celestial Butterfly Companion Eggs up for sale. Now, if you’ve been around the Second Life marketplace or community long enough, you already know these kinds of items don’t usually come cheap. We’re talking thousands of Linden Dollars in many cases.

I never bought a Lenovo Legion Go S, or even slotted it into our best handheld PCs list, though it’s funny how much a fat Black Friday price cut can massage the desirability gland. And it helps that these savings cover not just the budget Ryzen Z2 Go model I originally reviewed, but the top-of-the-line Z1 Extreme version with an upgraded 32GB of RAM – and the same SteamOS, instead of fiddly Windows. That extra memory’s probably worth about four billion quid by itself, though while it lasts, the primo Legion Go S is going for £599 in the UK (a £100 saving) and $650 in the US (a $250 saving).

Convention tells us that to be a PC gamepad, the gamepad in question must follow the layout – or, at least, match the button glyphs – of the Xbox controller’s ABXY design. Even the new Steam Controller is doing it. To convention, though, I say: appreciate you’re an important component of usability design but also get lost. One of the best PC controllers right now is the PS5-pattern DualSense, which today's Black Friday deals have brought down to its lowest price in months.

Rejoice, those with nimble wrists or heightened gravity anomalies localised on top of their desks. Logitech’s G Pro X Superlight 2 gaming mouse, which for my money is the finest ultra-lightweight mouse in existence, is getting cut down in the Black Friday sales – so for your money, it’s down from an admittedly ambitious £149/$180 to a far more reasonable £104/$130.

I will begrudgingly accept that Black Friday, bleak as it is to anyone who didn’t grow up with framed spreadsheets above their beds, is at least a good opportunity to pick up dirt-cheap PC storage. Case in point, today’s sales include some nice, sharp slashings on some of the best Steam Deck microSD cards.

I’m trying something new for this year’s Black Friday coverage: drastically overestimating how long it would take to put together a guide to its best graphics card deals. How is it past 11 already. Still, I do hope this helps any potential upgrader or from-scratch DIY builder out there – GPUs haven’t been 'cheap' in years, and while RAM is currently doing its best to replace them as the most overpriced component type in PCdom, graphics cards are usually in drastic need of discounts. Just as, like, their default state of being.

Cross-Platform Freedom: Tile Mate vs. AirTag Two popular trackers stand out for daily wear and home life. Apple’s AirTag sticks tightly with iPhone users, which locks sound choices to Apple’s gear. Tile Mate, on the other hand, keeps a door open for both iPhone and Android devices. That makes Tile a simple choice for homes where people use different phones. Right now, a four-pack of Tile Mate is a rare deal. It’s listed at $39, down from $79, marking a […]
