Focus, M.
Every Switch 2 update on YouTube is like: "The Switch 2 is already doomed. And no wonder! Not counting cross-gen titles, back compat upgrades, multiplatform titles, Mario Kart World (because it was bundled), Donkey Kong Bananza (because it has monkeys), or games I didn't play yet, it has NO GAMES!"

Took these screenshots from the Kickstarter and kept them for almost 10 years just in case this exact situation arose.

Wait, you mean to tell me Gamergate was always a meritless psyop with no basis in reality that convinced a bunch of malleable young men to be mad at imaginary problems and fight battles that didn‘t exist all to benefit the agenda of the wealthy?

I’m shocked. SHOCKED I tell you.

Finding out /pol/ was likely inspired by an Epstein meeting is further proof the online alt right is not the natural progression of conservatism but a psyop determined to capture, radicalize, and mobilize young men.

Book becoming more relevant as I write it!

Not an unpopular opinion, but I can’t stand how all technology these days is seeking to eliminate the human experience. “AI can write a book for you“ …but I like to write. “Your car can drive itself” …but I like to drive.

Everything assumes that I hate the process and just want the end result.

PSA: If you've ever had even a passing interest in modding the Steam version of FFVII (which is extremely cool and fun to do), I recommend picking it up now before Square delists it and rereleases the port as something that will almost certainly EXTREMELY incompatible with those mods, if any mods

You hit your mid-30s and then all of the sudden “say hi to your mom for me” stops being a taunt for online lobbies and starts being an earnest effort to keep up with old friends.

Ok this is going to be very niche but wow Roleplayers… your stance on GenAi in some of your servers is seriously appalling. It’s extra painful because yall were some of the first people to hire me for my art and now look at where I am. I really hope you reconsider your stances

"What do you want?"

Blue: "For everyone to be allowed to live their lives as the constitution promised them."

Red: "I want whatever Blue doesn't want. Fuck Blue. I hate Blue. Give me whatever the opposite of what Blue asked for is."
The central political divide today in the U.S. is not between two sides offering slightly varying iterations of the same underlying political bargain but between a tradition affirming the historic liberal-constitutional order and one that enthusiastically strips rights from ideological opponents.

All of the easy jokes about COD lobbies aside, kind of chilling to think of someone like Epstein on Xbox Live.
Microsoft banned Jeffrey Epstein from Xbox Live in 2013 for “harassment, threats, and/or abuse of other players” that was “severe, repeated, and/or excessive.”

Even though I've already played through Grid Legends on other platforms, this was a major release on Switch 2 for me.

Switch 2 had just about everything I wanted, but that finally scratched my simcade itch on the platform. Get me a "Forza Horizon" on there and every other console is a paperweight.

Another set done! With this addition, we now have every physical issue from the main run of Official Xbox Magazine.

This was much harder to complete than we expected. We've got a story for you... 🧵

If Nintendo agrees to release a new F-Zero in 2026, I will go see Melania. Final offer. Otherwise no deal.
Sales of tickets to watch 'Melania' in Boston are so disastrous that they'll now pay you $50 to sit though it. From Craigslist:

As a big OG and Xbox 360 fan I can honestly say: why on earth WOULD anyone buy an Xbox right now? It’s super expensive, nothing is exclusive, future is uncertain, and value is better on PS5 across the board.

It’s so heartbreaking to see Xbox shoot themselves in the foot so many times.

Xbox has been having a hard time selling consoles lately and it didn't get any better over the 2025 holiday quarter, according to Microsoft's Q2 earnings, which say that hardware sales were down 32% year-over-year. https://bit.ly/4k2Bv2I
