8) Mario Kart World 🏁

Obviously, still a lot to do here. I love the new courses and Knockout mode is brilliant. Haven't done too much in Free Roam yet. Rainbow Road was AWESOME!

appreciate this article breaking down a taxonomy of knowledge games (also, unfortunately, known as metroidbrainias)

Against 'Metroidbrania': a Landscape of Knowledge Games
What are knowledge games? How do we relate them to each other? What sub-genres exist – and which ones might be implied?

FFS, Elon, just read a book. Like literally any book.

in a long life filled with saying stupid shit this is may be the stupidest shit he's ever said
Elon Musk: With Optimus, we might be able to stop putting people in prison. “If somebody's committed a crime, we might be able to provide a more humane form of containment of future crime. You now get a free Optimus, and it's just going to follow you around and stop you from doing crime. Other than that, you get to do anything; it's just going to stop you from committing crime. That's really it. You don't have to put people in prisons and stuff. It's pretty wild to think of all the possibilities, but I think it's clearly the future.” Tesla Shareholder Meeting, November 6,

I'm SLOWLY reaching the "acceptance" stage about the fact that there are some games I own that I will never play.

Had a good time with the Outlanders #NintendoSwitch demo today. Didn't realise it was an old game, but it has a nice Settlers feel to it.

However, the choice to have rotation as left/right and zoom as up/down on the same joystick is *baffling* - nearly ruins the whole thing.

Any site that doesn't have video pop-overs, cookies-or-pay bollocks, or more ads than text gets my vote. Shout out to the people trying to deenshittify the internet.

It turns out you CAN'T sue someone for 'mocking your company' by pointing out flaws in your product...

10M people watched a YouTuber shim a lock; the lock company sued him. Bad idea.
It’s still legal to pick locks, even when you swing your legs.

Want the shit in your google drive to load instantly again, instead of taking for-fucking-ever? Open your gdrive (web OR app) Settings > Manage Apps Gemini was checked "use as default" (and i sure the fuck didn't set it that way, this was a silent push) Nuke that, and suddenly, folders that took up to a minute to populate and sort do so in a fraction of a second.

Nine years ago, Nintendo revealed the Switch for the very first time — and I also launched a small side project called Switch Weekly.

Now, after nearly a decade of curating the best Nintendo stories every week, it’s time for a change! 😊
