The word "okay" started off life as an 1830s Bostonian meme? I had no idea. There were apparently bunch of acronyms like "OK" based around misspelled common phrases and it actually stands for "All Correct." This same scene also gives us Stan Lee's sign off: 'nuff said. youtu.be/1UnIDL-eHOs

First feature I added to warm back up after my injury: huge QOL changes to how parts stick to the spine when you move the nodes around. and you can drag the whole torso around at once now!

What is the lifespan of software? What if you make software that's silly and full of whimsy? Will people remember it? Anyway, here's a video someone recently posted of “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan performed through the composer feature in Mario Paint, a game released on Super Nintendo in 1992

The next time we open our doors in Las Vegas, it’ll be for you! See you tomorrow at 11am at @pinkgorillalas.bsky.social!

Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery (Switch) is $19.99 at Target buff.ly/f3FGPPD #ad

Blue Prince is OUT NOW! Your journey to find Room 46 begins. linktr.ee/blueprincegame

I love this! A community center in a small town in Fukuoka printed TCG cards celebrating the contributions of mostly older citizens. Kids in the area started collecting them and now the subjects of cards are local celebrities, autograph requests and all. www.tokyoweekender.com/entertainmen...

Date yourself with toys that were newly available when you played with them.

Reminder: SNES games cost the same - OR MORE THAN - Switch 2 games Yet, the cost to develop games has gone up exponentially in 30 years. Switch 2 games are a deal!

Interesting that Nintendo is not even launching with standard pricing on Switch 2 games. Donkey Kong Bananza is $70 Mario Kart World is $80 Hope there’s enough bundles for folks to get MKW at a THIRTY DOLLAR discount.

www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/re... Switch 2 pricing IN JAPAN is ~$335USD for Japanese language system and ~$450 for a multi-language system. That’s a wild difference and language locking to hardware is kind of a crazy way to deal with export pricing.

Wild that they didn’t announce a mainline Mario game, but this open world destructible environment DK looks fun!

Uhhh… Kirby Air Ride sequel?

Unexpected Eldenvania is Switch 2 exclusive?!

Silksong 2025 confirmed!

Btw, is the audio out of sync for everyone in this Switch 2 livestream? Rebooted TV and it’s still well behind the visuals.

I wonder if @supergiantgames.bsky.social will include mouse controls for Hades II on Switch 2…

Nintendo embracing second screen gaming with Zelda notes is super interesting! Giving GPS-like audio directions means they’re updating in real time. Super excited for more in depth interactions.

Switch 2 Welcome Tour is PAID?! Man, I already thought it was less interesting than Astro’s Playroom, and now folks are expected to pay for it? Big oof.

The year of our lord 2025, and Nintendo has decided that the internet is here to stay.
