The Steam Deck will start shipping in the next few days and while there’s no real shortage of games to play on it, Valve is adding another one to the mix. The company that created the portable gaming system has created a Portal spinoff called Aperture Desk Job.

In the free playable short, you’ll take on the role of a product inspector at Aperture, the corporation at the center of the Half-Life and Portal games. Valve says “Desk Job walks you through the handheld’s controls and features, while not being nearly as boring as that sounds.” It seems to be a demo for the Steam Deck’s capabilities, similar to how Astro’s Playroom shows off the PS5 DualSense controller.

If you haven’t been able to secure a Steam Deck just yet, you’ll still be able to play Aperture Desk Job on PC. However, it’s a controller-only game, so don’t expect to play it with a keyboard and mouse.

Perhaps no car has had as dramatic an impact as the Lamborghini Miura, which introduced supercars to the world and cemented the legacy of a new brand.

NVIDIA’s email systems and developer tools have reportedly been experiencing outages over the last two days due to a suspected cyberattack. The company told The Telegraph, which first reported on the issue, that it was “investigating an incident” and didn’t have anything else to share for now.

The company is believed to be dealing with a “malicious network intrusion” that, in the words of one person with knowledge of the situation, “completely compromised” NVIDIA’s internal systems. Some of its email services were said to be back online on Friday. It’s not yet clear whether hackers obtained data on NVIDIA or its customers if this is actually a cyberattack.

There’s currently no evidence tying the incident to Russia, following concerns it would retaliate against the West with cyberwarfare. The US and other nations slapped Russia with sanctions after it invaded Ukraine on Thursday, including a moratorium on exporting semiconductors to the country.

“We have no information to suggest a specific credible cyber threat against the US homeland, but it is our responsibility to be prepared,” secretary of homeland security Alejandro Mayorkas said this week, before Russia commenced its military offensive.
