Time is happening infinitely all at once. Even when we're gone everything we did and everyone we loved will still be there. Our actions are permanent. Tell your family you love them this Christmas, and if you don't have a family then spread love to others. Add more good to this neverending galaxy.

At this point it's safe to say that Nintendo is giving Switch one last holiday season as their primary console.

The majority of Nintendo's 1st Party Published games in 2024 weren't even made by them, so it's clear they've moved on.

2025 is going to very crazy!

Nintendo is looking for an Electro Mechanical Engineer to join their team.

Based on this new job posting, it's possible that Switch 2 will support Samsung's SD Express microSD cards.

These cards have significantly better transfer speeds.

This is kind of the crux of why none of these huge tech companies could figure out how to make games. They see it as a technology problem, but when a lot of what makes a great game great is an Arts and Humanities journey
