PCGamesN Friday, March 14, 2025 5:27 AM  What is the best handheld gaming PC? This year is set to see some big new entrants in the gaming handheld space. However, after hundreds of hours of testing, our top portable gaming device picks remain the same as they have for a while, and you can find those choices below. The best gaming handheld overall remains the Steam Deck OLED, thanks to its SteamOS software making it quick and easy to access your Steam games. So good is Valve's operating system, that the older Steam Deck LCD even takes our second spot, despite being such old hardware. If you want more power, features, screen resolution and Windows compatibility, though, the Asus ROG Ally X and Lenovo Legion Go lead the charge here.

In true Yellowjackets fashion, Season 3 leaves us with a web of unanswered questions, and one of the most tantalizing is the mystery of Shauna's tape. For quite some time, its contents have eluded us, but with answers slowly emerging, it's time to dive into what's really on it.
Be warned: major spoilers for Yellowjackets Season 3 Episode 6 are ahead.
Yellowjackets Season 3 Shauna's tape, explained
At the beginning of Season 3, Shauna gets a mysterious tape that Callie so cleverly hides from her until Episode 6. Van, Taissa, and Shauna listen to it through an old DAT player to uncover its secrets. We can hear a woman saying, "What is this?" followed by the sound of the Yellowjackets singing. Once you get to the end of the episode, you'll see that it is a recording from a hiker.
If you compare the recording from the tape with Episode 6's ending, it sounds exactly the same. You can even hear Lottie screaming, "No!" proving that hikers captured this exact moment. Moreover, one of the hikers seems to be carrying a recorder with him, which may be the same tape.
But now the question remains: Who sent this tape, and why did they solely send it to Shauna? I have a high suspicion that it wasn't the hikers since I honestly don't think they have any chance of living at this point. After all, they just saw the Yellowjackets frolicking around while Couch Ben's head was on a silver platter. The team will likely turn on them to keep them from talking, meaning they'll stick a little longer for the winter.
My theory is that someone must have kept the tape for blackmail. That's why Van looks up 'How long do DAT tapes last outdoors?" She's curious about how it made it out of the forest even after all these years.
The easy answer could be that Adult Melissa (presumably Hilary Swank) is the one behind the tape blackmail. Fans have, for the most part, believed she's the one responsible, especially with her and Shauna's new romance. However, it can go in a completely different direction, as most Yellowjackets episodes do. So, we'll just have to see what happens next.

Near the end of Severance Season 2 Episode 9 The After Hours, Jame Eagan appears in the MDR room as Helly is trying to memorize the directions to the elevator that Irving left behind. But what exactly is Jame Eagan doing on the severed floor in the first place?
Why is Jame on the severed floor with Helly?
In an unexpected turn of events in Season 2 Episode 9, as Helly tries to memorize the directions to the elevator that Irving left behind on the severed floor, Jame Eagan appears in the doorway to the MDR office and tells Helly that she tricked him, before saying "My Helly." So what does he mean? What is he talking about?
Of course, to know exactly, we'll have to wait until next week's Severance Season 2 finale. But that doesn't mean we can't speculate on what exactly CEO of Lumon Jame Eagan is up to.
What is Jame Eagan planning with Helly?
Once again, this is pure speculation, but seems as though Severance and more specifically the Cold Harbor project may be setting up to be some sort of connection between Mark's innie and outtie in which he may have to choose between saving Mark's outie's wife, Gemma, or Mark's innie's love interest, Helly. I think that in next week's finale, Mark will have to make a decision between saving Helly or Gemma.
We may have gotten a big hint about this in Season 2 Episode 7 when Gemma, during going through her many severed rooms, is asked if she'd rather drown or suffocate. Who's the only other character we've seen suffer that same fate? Helly, who attempted to hang herself in the elevator, and then later was almost drowned by Irving at the ORTBO.
What did Jame mean when he told Helly, 'You tricked me'?
I think that Jame is referring to the OTC from the Severance Season 1 finale in which the MDR innies activated the overtime contingency to activate their severed innie while outside of Lumon. In that episode, Helly ran into Jame Eagan in which he believed it was actually her outie, Helena, and Jame Eagan's daughter, who he was speaking to. Of course this wasn't the case and Helly would go on to ruin the conference by exposing what Lumon was up to on the severed floor.
We should know exactly what Jame Eagan is up to next week when the Severance Season 2 finale drops on March 20, 2025 at 9 pm EST.

In Severance Season 2 Episode 9, The After Hours, we see Milchick really tap into his diverse big word vocabulary, especially when speaking to Drummond. Let's take a look at what each of those big words from the episode means, you know, just in case you didn't know.
Defining all of Milchick's big words from Severance Season 2 Episode 9
It wouldn't be a Severance episode without Milchick letting us all know we don't come close to his vast vocabulary. And The After Hours episode is no different. Let's break down all the big words Milchick used throughout Season 2 Episode 9:
As expected, Milchick of course used all these words perfectly. Hopefully we'll get some more vocabulary lessons next week when the Severance Season 2 finale airs.

The penultimate episode of Severance Season 2, Episode 9 titled The After Hours, has officially put all the characters in a very exciting situation going into next week's Season 2 finale. Let's recap everything that happened in tonight's episode of Severance.
The episode starts with Helena swimming at what appears to be the Eagan home. She walks into the room with her father Jame Eagan, who says it's a momentous day. Helena asks if he's going to eat to which he replies, "I'll watch." Weirdo. She cuts a hardboiled egg into six slices—man, the Eagan family loves eggs, eh?—evenly spread on a weird plate of a child being held down in a chair by two men and begins to slowly cut and eat them to watch Jame responds "I wish you ate them raw." What? Weirdo, again. We then see Helena driving away from the home with a giant water tower with the Lumon water drop icon on it.
Ms. Huang graduates from Wintertide Fellowship
Next we see Milchick telling young Ms. Huang that she has officially finished her Wintertide fellowship, and that her bed will be moved from her parents' home to the Gunnel Eagan Empathy Center in Svalbard, where she will work to steward global reforms. Gunnel Eagan? I could be wrong, but I don't think we've heard that name before! "I thought I would be finishing the quarter?," Ms. Huang asks. Milchick tells her that Empathy awaits, before demanding she must destroy her handheld ring toss game as a way of making a betterment sacrifice as part of graduating from the fellowship, which she does. Huang is later picked up by a Lumon branded bus.
Gretchen comes clean to Dylan's outie
Meanwhile at outie Dylan's home, Dylan's wife Gretchen admits to kissing innie Dylan at Lumon. "How?," he asks, leading to him getting understandably upset and confused. Gretchen returns to Lumon and tells innie Dylan that she "told her husband about you this morning," which Dylan was understandably confused about, before asking if outie Dylan was glad for them. She responded with an obvious no, to which Dylan said he should be because he's actually making her happy. Ouch, what a self burn. Kind of. Gretchen explains that she can't see innie Dylan anymore as he threatened to quit. Innie Dylan begs her to somehow be with him, leading to him proposing with a ring he made out of materials from the Lumon severed floor, saying he can give her a life. A crying Gretchen tells her she's so sorry but she can't, and leaves.
Helly tells him he should save it and give it to someone he meets down here, to which Dylan replies "It's just R&D and the goat people." Very true, Dylan. In the end, Dylan fills out an innie resignation request, to which Milchick says it is very disappointing and reeks of ingratitude for them allowing him to meet with Gretchen. After finishing the form, Milchick tells Dylan to return to the elevator and wait, to which Ms. Huang apologizes to Dylan and says she should have facilitated their meetups better. Dylan tells her it's not her fault, before heading to the elevator. Will outie Dylan accept the resignation given the circumstances, effectively "terminating" innie Dylan?
Irving sees Burt sooner than he expected
Irving goes into his apartment to see Burt sitting there, reading through Irving's notes on what he's discovered from Lumon. "May also be connected to several recent disappearances or deaths. Goodman may have participated as a low-level Lumon enforcer or goon," Burt reads and laughs. "Lumon goon, that stings." Burt then asks Irving to go for a ride with him, to which Irving declines, but Burt demands once again, "Go for a ride with me." He does. Burt explains to Irving that he never hurt anyone, and that he only drives people to places and then never asks what happens to them when they get there, to which Irving asks if that's what's happening right now.
Eventually the two come to a train station, where Burt gets Irving a one-way ticket and gives it to him, telling him it goes as far away as possible, but that he can never know where Irving gets off the train, and Irving can never return to Kier. Irving says no because Lumon will come after Burt. Burt tells him the reason he severed was because he liked the idea he could be innocent again, but his innocent self fell in love with Irving. Irving said he wants to remember that as he never fell in love before, to which Burt says it's probably better they didn't. After an intimate moment, where Irving tells Burt he wants to have their love, but Burt says they simply can't, Irving leaves on the train with his dog. We see the train riding off towards a sunny location; is this the last we'll see of Irving? I certainly hope not.
Mark needs a mental day
We get a brief scene of Gemma sitting in the place we saw from Severance Season 2 Episode 7, before seeing that the Cold Harbor project is still at 96%. The main in charge of looking after Gemma calls Drummond and says it's 9 o'clock but the numbers aren't moving. Drummond calls Milchick and demands he get Mark into the office and working on MDR now as the results for Cold Harbor were promised for today. Milchick calls Mark, who doesn't answer, as he is driving out to a secluded area with his sister to meet up with Harmony Cobel. They get to the location and eventually Cobel arrives and asks how Mark is doing. He sarcastically says he's doing good, you know, as his wife is being held prisoner at Lumon and he just got brain surgery in his basement. Cobel says they are allies now. They talk about the plan to head to the birthing cabin to speak to Marks innie, to which Cobel says they don't even know if his innie has completed the file yet (Cold Harbor) but that she assumes not. Mark asks what the file is and Cobel tells him that if his innie has completed Cold Harbor that Gemma is already dead. I can't wait to find out exactly what Cold Harbor actually is. Next week's finale is titled Cold Harbor, so surely we'll learn, right? Cobel tells Mark to call Mr. Milchick and tell him he's feeling unwell and won't be coming in today, because if Milchick smells that they are up to something, they will lock Mark out of the building.
Meanwhile, Drummond berates Milchick over Mark not showing up for work, asking him if "This is tightening the leash?" He is furious that Lumon's most vital refiner is "missing in the wind on what was to be Lumon's finest day" and tells Milchick it is his fault. "I have followed protocol, Mr. Drummond, but I thank you for your remonstration." In case you're like me and have no clue what that means, it means 'the act of expressing earnest opposition or protest'. Drummond says it's a needlessly complex word for a simple idea, and demands Milchick apologizes, which he does twice. Drummond demands he apologizes again, to which Milchick responds, "Devour feculence." I had an idea what this one meant, but Milchick confirms it. "Eat shit." As Milchick says: "To put it monosyballically, it's not my fault what Mark Scout does when he is not at work. It's yours." Ohhhh got em. Milchick has become perhaps my favorite character in the show, and it's clear he's starting to finally waver from his allegiance to Lumon, at least somewhat.
Mark calls Milchick, saying he's been worried about his nosebleeds he's having and drove to a clinic in Soil Hill and that they want to do a few more tests. Milchick insists on letting Lumon send a car as Mark is a valuable employee, demanding to know Mark's location. Mark thinks before explaining that he's not sick but he just needed a day. Milchick asks if he can know why, to which Mark says "No, I've just got life stuff. Isn't that what Lumon's all about? Balance? Work is just work, right?" Everyone can relate to that, right? Milchick has an internal struggle on whether to give this to Mark or push further, especially after what just happened with Drummond. In the end he asks for Mark's word that he will report to work tomorrow, to which Mark says he promises he will be there.
Cobel and Devon want to talk to Mark's innie
Mark gets in the bed of the truck covered with tarp, and he, Devon, and Cobel arrive at the severed birthing cabin. Security says no one scheduled to be there, to which Cobel says it's "one of Jame's and that no one is to know they are there." Sounds like Jame might have a ton of little Eagans running around non willingly. Cobel tells the security that Devon is Miss Marsha White from the ninth floor in the Specialty department, and that she is "looking for a gold thimble." Security lets them through.
Marks innie wakes up in the birthing cabin with Devon there. He tries to leave, and Devon explains that if he goes out the door, Mark will just turn around and come back in. She takes him upstairs to see Cobel, explaining that they need to talk.
Meanwhile, Helly goes to the breakroom where Irving hid the directions to the dark hallway and elevator. She returns to their work room and is trying to memorize the directions to the elevator, when suddenly Helena's father, Jame Eagan appears behind her and says, "You tricked me. My Helly." to which Helly responds, "What the fuck?" Couldn't have said it better, Helly.
All in all, this is about as satisfying of a penultimate episode as you can ask for. It feels as though for Iving and Dylan, this episode very well could be their last appearance of the season. Maybe even the series? I hope not, but it's quite possible based on how things ended.
Next week's season finale, Severance Season 2 Episode 10 titled Cold Harbor is a whopping 76 minutes but may every well focus on Mark, Cobel, Helly/Helena, and what exactly the Cold Harbor project actually is. I can't wait.
The season finale of Severance airs on March 20 at 9 pm EST.
