Nintendo Switch 2, Year One - the Digital Foundry verdict: www.digitalfoundry.net/features/nin...

After being made redundant, I’ve decided to take a leap of faith. Introducing Kanto Post, my own Pokémon site. Why launch a site while the industry is struggling? I answer that in my welcome post. If you enjoy Pokémon and want to support independent journalism, check it out. KantoPost.com

for six years now, one person has sat on the URL for a common misspelling of summer game fest (which SHOULD be plural, not singular imo). this year's redirect is personal

Oh man 😔

Anything around a grand and I might bite (which is a line I wouldn't have crossed on announce but hey, times have changed). Chomping at the bit for a half-decent PC for work and, assuming it's not completely astronomical, is as good a solution as any:

The Switch 2 turns one today! The Nintendo Life team rates the first year. Personally? I thought it was great:

Dream T.V. / SNES / Triffix / 1994

Exciting morning for @onemorecatch.site - the first commissioned freelance piece! @sarahathwaites.bsky.social and @oloman.bsky.social were among the first in the world to experience Pokémon Go's phone-raising Unity Raids at Go Fest: Tokyo. Here's their report on how it went down:

It looks like the Switch 2 revision with a replaceable battery is happening:

Not-E3 having a shocker. Please tell me the Saddle Ranch is still open?

Very funny from /r/balatro

4 years ago in the Telltale Games Alumni FB group, Michael Parsons was asking if anyone had advice for helping his 15 year old son Kane achieve his dreams of being a filmmaker. Turned out alright.

Weird name for a theme park…

In Mario Party, minigame descriptions treat being eliminated merely as being out of the game, except for Bumper Balls, which drastically shifts the tone by stating the winner is the last one left alive. This implies that while other minigames might be for fun, Bumper Balls is to the death.

Kratos somberly reckoning with his violent and aspiring to be a better father while his dead wife is doing double jumps and air combos in another realm is so fucking funny. imagine if Laura Palmer was doing DOOM shit in the Black Lodge

The internet was good once

Just realised yesterday (31st May) was a decade since I joined Eurogamer! Didn't quite make it to 10 years (was just shy of 7 in the end), but rare to be a fan of something and hope to be part of it one day, then actually do and it be a blast. Was such a privilege. www.eurogamer.net/editors-blog...

Good newsletter! Get involved!

Visiting a National Trust Pokémon trail this weekend? Here's what to expect - and what I thought:

The virtual advertising boards on the Champions League final coverage are doing a terrible job at keying around the players when they’re on the far side of the pitch. It’s really noticeable in 4K. #ChampionsLeague #ucl #uefa
