Nintendo ripping off @panic.com was not on my bingo card for 2025.

I feel like I’m missing something. I bought it recently and I have no idea what I’m supposed to be doing. 😅

Nintendo really is the master of mildly frustrating decisions.

They’re misrepresenting the situation. Virtual Game Cards only added a minor extra step to access your games on alternate Switch consoles. I have 3 consoles myself (2, OLED, and Lite) and I can play any of my games on any of them at any time. If the person can’t access their games, it’s user error.

Crap. I’m going to be in Tokyo during the launch. I guess I’m not getting one until I get back to the US…

BlueNotify on iOS is also pretty great for notifications when you post. My kids think my phone is just a Nintendeal, Wario64, and DekuDeals device. 🙃

You’ve unlocked a new fear in this 41-year-old. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this!

I can’t believe this is real life.

Thank you.

Maybe it’s all a big conspiracy to get people to read the news more. I know I haven’t read the New York Times as much as I have this past week. 🙃

Thanks for sharing this. It’s all so depressing, but at least our collapse will be recorded for posterity!

A volunteer fire fighter too? Your talents and abilities are ridiculously impressive. I want to relocate to Japan for a number of reasons, but getting to hang out with you more would be pretty high on that list.

Wow. And I thought I was insecure. This is an entirely new level.

Anyway, off to spend some platinum points!

Ridiculously excited about your show tonight! My wife and I scored front-row seats, which we’ve never done before.
