another gripe worth mentioning with the Switch 2:

yeah you know all those HDMI adapters that work with literally every other USB-C device you own? including the OG Switch? yeah they don’t work.

sure eventually someone will come out with something that works but sheesh.

one minor Switch 2 complaint (about the new Virtual Game Card system):

kinda surprised there’s a not a difference between a “game” and an “app.” like I went to download YouTube and I had to go thru the song & dance with ejecting & loading.

very dumb but very on brand for Nintendo.

Nintendo Switch 2! so far the OS is pretty snappy!

hooray for a $500 Mario Kart machine!

holy shit Siri is the worst, not even once have I meant to ask her something but she keeps getting in the way.

buddy of mine just texted me something dumb and I said “cool” and Siri took that as SOUND THE ALARM - CALLING YOUR FRIEND.

jfc fuck all the way off.

knew I was part of a pilot program for this new claims bs - did not know how small my group was.

there are 21 of us unlucky bastards that have to beta test the new system. no option for feedback except to call and harass the already overworked helpline reps. jfc there had to be a better way.

doubt this will reach its target audience but the new Subaru Claims Portal is beyond terrible.

clunky, unintuitive, and missing basic functionality. truly a step backward.

and god bless it if I see that spinning Welcome screen one more time.

the Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remaster really nailed down that retro game experience - still gotta pay extra for the horse armor.

has Todd Howard ever said the word “jank” out loud?

or does he just think it loudly when he says “charm.”

watching Kirby fly by was absolutely perfect -

new Smash Bros? Forgotten World 2? a remake? something else?

HAHAHAHAHA

nobody had Air Ride 2 on their bingo card and if you did you’re lying.

lots of Nintendo Switch 2 news from the Direct, but this made me audibly laugh:

re: Chat button - play classic games with your own rules.

uh except Pokémon Nuzlockes bc that’s hacking.

they’ve already done everything in Mario Kart, what’s gonna be different besides a spec bump?

Nintendo: we heard you like Forza Horizon
April 2, 2025 at 1:05 PM
once you hear it it’s kinda jarring when the T Swift song comes on in the middle of the new Lady Gaga album.

whole album is fantastic btw.
