This week, I flew out to Los Angeles to try on and write about Snap’s Specs. Along the way, I’ve been marveling at how Apple put the iPhone 18 Pro’s Face ID sensor under the display, reading about new Xbox boss Asha Sharma, getting excited for bakes in the new Great British Baking Show trailer, watching Stephen Colbert shave his beard on Jimmy Kimmel, and hanging out at a lot of coffee shop tables to work. 本周,我飞往洛杉矶试用并撰写了关于 Snap Specs 的文章。在此期间,我惊叹于苹果如何将 iPhone 18 Pro 的 Face ID 传感器置于显示屏下方;阅读了关于 Xbox 新任负责人 Asha Sharma 的报道;为《英国烘焙大赛》新预告片中的烘焙作品感到兴奋;观看了斯蒂芬·科尔伯特在吉米·坎摩尔节目中刮掉胡子,并坐在许多咖啡馆的桌旁工作。
I also have for you Valve’s Steam Frame, Nintendo’s expansive new Fire Emblem, a tiny Fujifilm camera, and more. 我还为您准备了 Valve 的 Steam Frame、任天堂内容丰富的全新《火焰之纹章》、一台小巧的富士相机,以及更多内容。

Resident Evil. Zach Cregger’s take on Capcom’s iconic survival-horror video game franchise sounds like a riot. My colleague Charles Pulliam-Moore called it a “comedy first and a thrilling nightmare second.” Say no more. 《生化危机》。扎克·克雷格(Zach Cregger)对卡普空这款标志性生存恐怖游戏系列的改编听起来非常有趣。我的同事查尔斯·普利亚姆-摩尔(Charles Pulliam-Moore)称其为“首先是一部喜剧,其次才是一场惊悚噩梦”。无需多言,必看。
Valve’s Steam Frame. Valve’s new VR headset, which was initially supposed to launch in early 2026, is finally here, and it starts at $1,059. Based on Sean Hollister’s review, it seems like a really fun way to play VR and flatscreen games — when you’re not dealing with bugs and general instability. The Steam Deck was a similar story, and Valve righted the ship, so fingers crossed it can do the same for the Frame. Valve Steam Frame。Valve 的新款 VR 头显原定于 2026 年初发布,现在终于面世了,起售价为 1059 美元。根据肖恩·霍利斯特(Sean Hollister)的评测,在不考虑 Bug 和系统不稳定的情况下,这似乎是一种体验 VR 和平面游戏的绝佳方式。Steam Deck 当初也经历过类似的情况,但 Valve 最终将其带回了正轨,所以希望他们也能在 Frame 上做到这一点。
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave. I’ve been playing Nintendo’s latest entry in its strategy RPG series over the past several weeks, and it’s an excellent evolution of everything great about Three Houses. It’s easily my favorite game on the Switch 2. Seeing most of what it has to offer is a massive time commitment; I poured about 130 hours into the game. But if you’re into Fire Emblem or even just like RPGs, this one will keep you busy for a long while. 《火焰之纹章:命运编织》。过去几周我一直在玩任天堂这款策略 RPG 系列的最新作,它是《风花雪月》所有优点的一次出色进化。这无疑是我在 Switch 2 上最喜欢的游戏。想要体验它的大部分内容需要投入大量时间;我在这款游戏上花费了约 130 个小时。但如果您喜欢《火焰之纹章》,或者仅仅是喜欢 RPG,这款游戏绝对能让您忙碌很长一段时间。
Fujifilm’s Instax Pal 2. This $169.95 digital camera has an optical viewfinder and a 1.3-inch LCD screen, can take 10-megapixel photos, and is so dang small! Looks like a great pocketable camera to play with. 富士 Instax Pal 2。这款售价 169.95 美元的数码相机配有光学取景器和 1.3 英寸 LCD 屏幕,可以拍摄 1000 万像素的照片,而且体积小得惊人!看起来是一款非常适合随身携带把玩的口袋相机。
Boox’s Picco. The new Boox Palma 3 isn’t available to order just yet, but you can preorder the tiny Picco, which has a 3.97-inch E Ink screen and costs $99.99. I haven’t used any of these diminutive e-readers, but I love the idea of them. Boox Picco。新款 Boox Palma 3 尚未开放订购,但您可以预订小巧的 Picco,它配备 3.97 英寸电子墨水屏,售价 99.99 美元。我还没用过这些微型电子阅读器,但我很喜欢这个概念。
Marvel’s Wolverine. Insomniac’s latest superhero game isn’t getting the same rave reviews as the studio’s Spider-Man games — my colleague Andrew Webster praised Wolverine for being a straightforward action game but says the story ends up being “largely forgettable.” But if you just want to slice and dice as Wolverine, it seems like the game delivers. 《漫威金刚狼》。Insomniac 的这款最新超级英雄游戏并没有像该工作室的《蜘蛛侠》系列那样获得一致好评——我的同事安德鲁·韦伯斯特(Andrew Webster)称赞《金刚狼》是一款直截了当的动作游戏,但表示其剧情最终“基本让人过目即忘”。不过,如果您只是想体验作为金刚狼大杀四方的快感,这款游戏似乎完全能满足需求。
Hisense’s RoamView. Hisense now has its own version of the “screen on wheels” idea that LG tried with its StanbyME. It has a 32-inch 4K touchscreen and a 10-hour battery, and you can take it off the wheeled stand to use on your desk. It’s $1,199, so it’s not cheap, but is it bad that I really want to try it anyway? 海信 RoamView。海信现在推出了自己的“移动屏”产品,类似于 LG 的 StanbyME。它拥有一块 32 英寸 4K 触摸屏和 10 小时续航电池,您可以将其从带轮支架上取下放在桌面上使用。售价 1199 美元,并不便宜,但即便如此,我还是非常想尝试一下,这算不算是一种执念?

This week, I’m featuring the game developer Dan DiIorio, who develops games under the alias TrampolineTales. Earlier this year, he released a delightful game called What’s the Password? that tasks you with solving a series of tricky four-digit codes. It’s out now on PC, iOS, and Android, and you can finish it in a couple hours. I really recommend it. 本周,我邀请了游戏开发者 Dan DiIorio,他以 TrampolineTales 的名义开发游戏。今年早些时候,他发布了一款名为《What’s the Password?》的有趣游戏,任务是解开一系列棘手的四位数密码。该游戏现已登陆 PC、iOS 和 Android 平台,几个小时就能通关。我强烈推荐。
I asked him to share his homescreen and the apps and things he cares about. Here it is, plus some info on the apps he uses and why: 我请他分享了他的主屏幕以及他关注的应用和事物。以下是内容,以及他使用这些应用的原因:
The phone: It’s a Google Pixel 6A. 手机: Google Pixel 6A。
The wallpaper: My wallpaper is my partner and our rabbit: Lefty! 壁纸: 我的壁纸是我伴侣和我们的兔子:Lefty!
The apps: I keep my app grid in 3 columns instead of the default 4 so that I only keep apps I actually frequently use on my homescreen. File Manager Plus is pretty useful for file management, especially when I need to test APKs for my games that I’ve transferred from my PC. Podcast Addict is also fantastic for keeping up with my podcasts. I’ve been using it for years and it’s very customizable. 应用: 我将应用网格设置为 3 列而不是默认的 4 列,这样主屏幕上只保留我真正经常使用的应用。File Manager Plus 在文件管理方面非常有用,尤其是在我需要测试从 PC 传输过来的游戏 APK 时。Podcast Addict 也是收听播客的神器,我已经用了好几年了,它的自定义功能非常强大。
The game I play the most these days is MahjongSoul. I tend to average at least one game of riichi mahjong a day. Sometimes I’ll play a few games of Threes if I don’t have enough time for a full game of mahjong. I’ve got a lot of space on my phone still, so I haven’t felt the need to delete any games. 我最近玩得最多的是《雀魂》。我平均每天至少会打一场立直麻将。如果没时间打完一整局麻将,我有时会玩几局《Threes》。我的手机空间还很充足,所以还没觉得有必要删除任何游戏。
I also asked Dan to share a few things he’s into right now. Here’s what he sent back: 我还请 Dan 分享了他最近感兴趣的一些事物。以下是他回复的内容:
I’ve been playing a lot of Omelet You Cook recently. It’s a fantastic score-based roguelike deckbuilder. 我最近一直在玩《Omelet You Cook》。这是一款非常棒的基于分数的 Roguelike 卡牌构建游戏。
I also recently finished The Incident at Galley House, Esoteric Ebb, and Rita. All of which are strong contenders for my game of the year. 我还刚通关了《The Incident at Galley House》、《Esoteric Ebb》和《Rita》。它们都是我心目中年度游戏的有力竞争者。
