I noticed some people on here and TikTok have no clue what the Virtual Boy was and why being included in the NSO Classics line is big deal. So for those that have no idea what the Virtual Boy and are curious to know what it is, allow me to be your history teacher for a minute. ⤵️
I hate the holidays...specifically the unyielding pressure and stress of working at a retail store filled with shitty people and having to spend a fortune of money I clearly do not make enough of to get gifts for over 10+ people.

I wish I could take a break from it for at least one year.

I fucking loathe these smug ass art-hating self-congratulating ghouls & the system that allows them to fail upwards into unfathomable wealth on the backs of 1000s of overworked creative people whose livelihoods get passed around like trading cards every time these dillwads have a stonks circle-jerk.

Welp... I WAS interested in Baldur's Gate III. Guess I'm passing up 2023's GotY.
NEW: I spoke to Larian boss Swen Vincke about their ambitions for their new RPG Divinity, cutting down development time, pressures from Baldur's Gate 3, why BG3 wouldn't have happened without Tencent, how Larian uses generative AI, and much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Let's go! Rayman 2?! It's time! People need to play this gem!

Have no idea what Tonic Trouble is.
Two classic #N64 games are coming soon!

Rayman 2: The Great Escape and Tonic Trouble are coming to the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Classics app on Dec 17 for #NintendoSwitchOnline + Expansion Pack members!

This shit right here is why I don't watch a lot of TV shows and movies anymore. I'm not paying $20+ a month for three different services that I'll barely touch. It's not worth it.

I'll take buying physical versions of these shows over streaming services anyday.

Growing up, John Cena was a household name. From his PHD in Thuganomics to Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect, John Cena was on top of the world. Any match Cena was a part of, he always found a way to turn it into gold. The man was the heart and soul of the WWE. Period. (1/6)

It's been over a year since I created my BlueSky account and let me tell you, this has been far better than any other social media platform I've been on. While I'm not really into social media as of late, I can really appreciate how in control I am of my experience.

If a $80 game is on sale for $50-$60 during Black Friday or at any point, it's not a great deal. You paid what should've been the full retail amount and got scammed for it.

Getting stuck causes players to explore the world.

Dying causes players to think about what they're doing.

An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible.

We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas.

It looks like Donald Trump is getting his way, as Rush Hour 4 is actually happening at Paramount with original director Brett Ratner involved. https://bit.ly/48w0Pdn

Why does Disney insist on making soulless, live-action remakes of great animated movies? Why ruin something that was otherwise a great animated film? Are they that creatively bankrupt?

Do not watch this film. Pass it up. Ignore it. Watch the original Moana instead. It is leagues better than this.
ign.com IGN @ign.com · Nov 17
Just how faithful is the live-action Moana keeping to the animated original? Pretty closely it would look like! Check out comparisons from the 2026 film versus 2015's.

Hey, Nintendo, say I don't have an Internet provider. Game-Key Cards require an Internet connection to even install the game onto the system. Does this mean that I can't even access 90% of the console's library? Are my options of what games to buy very limited because of this?

Think about it.
November 12, 2025 at 4:50 AM
$70 for a game that's only 10GB and can't be bothered to put the whole thing on the game card at all.

And the fact it's a first party game key-card is unbelievable.

Like no joke, this is making me regret my purchase of a Switch 2.

I did some skips and tricks and did Jabu-Jabu second without Ocarina and it gave me this text after I finished the dungeon. I wonder if the developers knew someone would do this next after Deku Tree. Not a huge deal. I'm sure its been discovered before, but this is a first for me, personally.

This Animal Crossing update "controversy" is making me glad I don't take social media seriously anymore. I use controversy in quotes because people will literally complain about anything these days just to get their five seconds of fame.

Social media is, has, and will always be a mistake.

For Luigi's Mansion players new and old, if the PAL version of the game is available on NSO, play that one instead. It's Hidden Mansion mode after you beat the game is way, way better than the NA version. Darker rooms, mirrored, harder bosses, x2 damage to you and enemies, etc.

Watching Microsoft's dumpster fire burn hotter and brighter is like watching the Chicago Cubs winning the 2016 World Series. Both are things worth celebrating.

If you're gonna erase SNAP benefits, then you should erase Black Friday as well. Seems like a fair trade-off to me.
