Three things I really hate about Mario Kart World: 1. Tracks are too wide. Lots of empty stretches with nothing going on. 2. RNG on Blue shells is still too unforgiving. 3. Dual items are back, which means too much BS flying around the screen. MK8 on Wii U was right to only allow single items.

My latest Switch 2 play session ahead of launch: I tried GameChat and a lot of multiplayer Mario Kart World. All my thoughts so far, and while it’s really good, I still think it’s ok to wait www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/...

While the world's attention is on Gaza, China's imprisonment of Uyghurs for forced labor is still happening, despite the cool videos you see on social media of how awesome and advanced China is. Sorry Kai Cenat, China isn't all cool. www.nytimes.com/interactive/... via @nytimes.com

Went to the Panchiko show in Brooklyn last night. They're a shoegaze band from 2000. Most of the audience were teenagers or college students. I haven't seen that many Sony Cybershots and other crap digicams since Circuit City. Someone was filming on a Nintendo 3DS! www.cnet.com/tech/computi...

I know we're a week out from Google I/O, but I've really been thinking a lot about how much more focused Google was this year. AI isn't just a tool that can sometimes help you. For Google, AI is the future of the company. And its products reflect as such. www.cnet.com/tech/service... via @cnet.com
