Happy Star Wars: Squadrons day, internet. I have nothing to offer but the sneer of a veteran Elite Dangerous pilot. A disdainful scoff as you vroomify your engines in the docking bay, click-clacking your flight checks in the seat of some dusty Y-wing, some classless X-Wing, some bogus B-wing. Who do you think you are? Sitting there in the pilot’s seat of that garish tin can. Only an exponent of the foulest incorrectitudes would indulge a shipyard with all the basic-ass nomenclature of an episode of Sesame Street. Here, you fripperist, you child, gaze upon the true list of the 9 best spaceships in games.

Over here in PC land we normally wouldn’t get to write about Nintendo’s cutesy island life sim, Animal Crossing, but I’ve found a wonderful reason to bring it before your eyes today. Animal Crossing: New Horizons lets you design all manner of lovely clothing items and pictures for you to display somewhere in your town, and players have been using it to create outfits inspired by PC games like Sea Of Thieves, Sayonara Wild Hearts and, of course, Doom: Eternal.

Hey, you, have you been sleeping on our favourite game of last year because you didn’t want to shop at the Epic Games Store? Friendo, you can now set a date for your adventure into Outer Wilds: June 18th. That’s the Steam release date for the fascinating sci-fi puzzle sandbox, publishers Annapurna announced today.

You may have read that the concept of weeks, months and years is the culmination of humanity s collective understanding of a complicated astronomical pattern. It’s an interesting take. However, the correct hypothesis was posited by your stoner housemate Jed from university. Time is, like, a construct, he said, with the deep wisdom and clarity only three tins of San Miguel can deliver. The Chinese have a totally different calendar, y know. Do you want to order takeaway?
