"everyone is mad at me and that's good" is one of the most poisonous inventions of the social media era

Apparently the mostly British habit of not cleaning your bread knife after use is ‘gross’ and unhygienic. If that’s true, then call me disgusting, writes Emma Beddington

Please tell Nintendo (and all other developers/studios/manufacturers) tht you want physical only, on the cartridge/disc media.
Nintendo released a survey asking for feedback on physical and digital games.
This is definitely the chance to make your voice heard about Switch 2 Game Key Cards.

raising prices always reduces your customer base in every case unless you're an inflexible, so reminder that any dimwit analyst (fake job, not real, only exists to coddle the rich, shouldn't be respected) saying raising prices = good are actively strangling whatever industry they're working in

Nintendo, as per usual, pairing cool announcements with the worst shit you've ever seen. Not even gonna try to normalize it, pricing shit sucks.
I'm still gonna get the system, because it has games I'm interested in, but damn man. RIP to Canadians especially. That's tough.

Everyone is under an insane amount of stress right now so I think it's important to take a moment to center yourself and decide if that's really what you need to do before flying off the handle at someone. I also think there needs to be a little bit of leniency given to people who fail at that

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.
