I think my favourite thing about Severance is that it has an actual openings. Those are becoming increasingly less common these days, especially in the era of streaming and so-called prestige TV. Bonus points to the series' OPs for being sick af.

What's really funny about TPC/Nintendo selling GBA ROM for 20 bucks in 2026 is that it appears to be virtually untouched. JP version is Japanese only, and in Europe, they're releading the ROM separately for each language. Couldn't even be arsed to cook up a launcher with all versions included 😂

Reading The Pokémon Company referring to Pokémon Day as the day the Pokémon BRAND started (instead of series, franchise, whatever) made me a cringle a bit inside 😬

You'd think this was a joke, but it's not. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faculty...

Nintendo wanted to release XCX NS2E upgrade for free, but Nopon Merchant Guild went all "meh meh meh, you're going to pass on free money you big dumb dumbs!"

I finished the Switch version just a little while ago........ 🫠 www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUGn...

Big tech? Greenwashing? Gaslighting everyone into believing they have the solution to a problem they're not only directly causing but also aggravating? Impossiburu! www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Starting to believe the inevitable Switch 2 Lite won't so much be a "Lite", but a "Light" as in "we finally made that big ass mofo much lighter, your hands can thank us". Cause the price sure ain't going the Lite way 🫠 (And from what I remember reading, dimensions reducing is gonna be tricky)

Wonder if they'll have a Not-Iwata-Asks for the Virtual Boy accessory for Switch (2).

Sigh. Guess it's Steam Next Spam season. Again.

Pressing the Start button in a level in Wario World certainly is quite the auditory experience. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pwl...

The funny bit about Culdcept Begins is that with BEGINS written in all caps in official title, it gives that Wikipedia timeline a delectable passive-agressive tone.

Ok, what were the odds of two games with "Begins" in the title would be featured in the same Direct, and both would be games nobody would have seen coming (Another Eden game was MIA for ages, and Culdcept was pretty much dead IP until today). It begins.

The more tech changes, the more it stays the exact same. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Thought this would only ship in 149.0, but looks like it's already live.

Remember when Nintendo didn't always had their big announcements on the same day? Good times.

@djlink.bsky.social Your hero! 🦆 www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Actually, it's called Frankenreagan's monster.

Looks like next version of Firefox Beta (149) is adding option to fully disable Hey, I! features. About time. www.askvg.com/master-kill-...

The Nintendo Direct for Tomodachi Life on 3DS was just so much better than the Switch one in almost every way. Switch one was peak corporate sanitization. 🥱 www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcmx...

Last minute Tomodachi Life Direct predictions: release date (well, duh :P), demo with expanded Mii Editor (and Switch App service where people can create Mii using pictures like on 3DS), lots of zany stuff. Also cats.

@soitis.dev Is it it, or are video previews on YouTube (in the subscriptions tab, to be precise) broken? 🤔 And no, I didn't enable the option to disable them in Control Panel (I made sure to check, just in case).

The Tomodachi Life Direct sold me on the 3DS game pretty much instantly. Definitely one of my fav. Direct of all times. Rarely seen a video that conveyed so perfectly the appeal of a game. Likely going to skip Switch entry but still looking forward to this! www.perfectly-nintendo.com/nintendo-dir...

Looks like someone redid the Ace Attorney version of the Boot to the Head skit with the HD assets. Neat. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wC2...

I'd like to try and get the Holofigures in XCX, but they way they set up the drop rates is complete bonkers. You only get them from silver chests, which are of lesser "value" than golden ones, and yet, you keep getting golden chests instead, so the less rare chest has higher rarity...... the what?

Akira Toriyama totally spent the last couple of years of his life locked up in a basement, forced to create new materials for Toei and Bamco to keep milking the shit out of Dragon Ball even after his death 🫠

Some of the missions in XCX are so needlessly well hidden, like that random ass one in Sylvalum where you need to slay one random monster for the mission to pop up (but only during the day, because quest giver isn't active during the night) 😂

Less than a week before Game Vouchers are discontinued. They better announce a proper replacement during next Direct, or there'll be a lot less purchases from me in the future. www.perfectly-nintendo.com/nintendo-swi...

Doing web search these days for actual research (not just finding that one website you can't be arsed to add as Bookmark :P) is so depressing. Swarms of Hey, I! garbo (I refuse to call it slop, it's too good a word for it) content everywhere you look. Literally unusable.

@djlink.bsky.social This might be of interest to you (it's obviously not official/legal, but heh :D): www.neowin.net/news/you-can...

On the brink? Brain dead, more like. And has been for a while. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Entered "passed the age" in browser's search box, and DuckDuckGo gave "can agent orange be passed to children" as a search suggestion. Like, wtf?! 🫠

I'm going to go out on a limb and claim that Dixie Kong is going to appear in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie :P bsky.app/profile/perf...

For those who are interested and are located in Europe, ARTE has the entire Twin Peaks series (3 seasons, but minus the movie) available for free streaming www.arte.tv/en/videos/RC...

Brought the end of Telethia, the Endbringer (hue hue hue) earlier today. Let's see if I can't tweak the Ares 90 build for Pharsis, the Everqueen.

Just found out local theatre not only jacked up prices for morning screenings, they also got rid of the Saturday morning screenings (now, it's just holidays and Sundays). Big bummer. Oh well, was fun while it lasted. Back to never setting foot in a theatre for another decade or so.

What if next 3D Zelda was a full-blown sequel to Spirit Tracks. Eiji Aonuma: "You know what else never bumps into trees? Trains. Trains are cool." Hidemaro Fujibayashi: "You know what's cooler? Trains with stamina wheels."

@djlink.bsky.social Someone forgot to post something yesterday ;)

@djlink.bsky.social Switch 2 version is live if you're interested (Little Nightmare devs, I remember you tweeting about it before, please disregard if that's the wrong game :D) bsky.app/profile/perf...

That face when you realise the bloke behind the awesome Peter Molydeux account worked at Ubisoft. Also, sad to see the account go. One less reason to still use Twitter. telegra.ph/The-last-mes...

Turns out no swap file was created when Linux Mint was installed. Oh well. Good thing I mostly over around 55-60% RAM use, haven't run into any issues yet. Still would love to know how I've been able to use Suspend in the past if there's no swap file or partition, though! 🫠

Hear, hear. One of Nintendo's investors should ask about their continued presence on the platform at the next briefing. It worked with Famicom Detective Club, so in theory, it could work! ;D www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Those prices... Pokémon: Gotta Milk 'em All!

Tried XCX online today, and... Is it me, or did DE made Squad Task utterly pointless? All Squad Missions are available right away and can be repeated at will (and are NOT on first-come, first-served basis, thank GOD, f*ck those grifters on Wii U rushing in to claim missions with highest rewards).

Stargate SG-1 going hard with the truth, huh. Remember, this is from 2000.

Thought it'd take me longer than that to find a replacement for Winamp, but quickly settled on Audacious. It plays all my files without a hitch (even SNES sound files), and is deliciously lightweight. Couldn't ask for anything better (and it supports classic Winamp skills if you really want :P).
