Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S. www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/...

It might be nothing (like a placeholder date), but Target has their Nintendo Switch 2 console preorders on the wishlist backend as going up on April 30th. April 30th is last day of the month, so it could mean nothing/placeholder. Just sharing what was discovered.

I’m loving my #RetroidPocket5. I’ve been playing some Pokémon Emerald Legacy but also a ton of #XboxGamepass. It works better than any streaming device I own including my iPhone 15 Pro Max. It’s how I beat #IndianaJonesandTheGreatCircle.

It should be illegal to review an Indiana Jones videogame if you haven't seen at least one of the Indiana Jones movies. Like, straight to jail. Only a 30 day sentence but there has to be some consequences.

I’m using Hoopla to listen to Harry Potter audiobooks and escape the present as I browse Bluesky. Although escapism feels good, it’s good when I feel pulled back in to the things we need to work on.

There’s enough liberal rhetoric in Harry Potter, like guns described as, “a kind of metal wand that muggles use to kill each other,” that you’d think JK wouldn’t be such a dick…

How in the world were you supposed to find the fifth sage in #TOTK ? I just spent 2 hours following a 24 minute guide. No wonder I fell off of this game. I love the emphasis on wonder and discovery, but I may just not be able to get lost in games like I once could.
