Weekend Discussion - September 27, 2026

As Sunday comes to a close, let's reflect on the past two days with Weekend Discussion.

Hey Shacknews, it's time for Weekend Discussion. Let's officially close out our weekend! Please take a look.

Your daily dose of sudoku

Phistomefel finds a puzzle difficult = panic.

Super Mario, retro style

I love all sorts of ports. Forwards, backwards, sideways.

The Xbox 360 was the GOAT

How many of these do you remember?

A big solo walk

This is obviously better with friends, though.

Can Minecraft beat itself?

Yes, but it will take a moment.

Imagine being so lame as to cheat at speedrunning

People have no shame.

Because it is my name!

The Crucible, anyone?
