Forgot to show off the new bag I got at the con last week, perfectly timed for Friday the 13th!

Dinner with friends, then finally seeing The Phoenician Scheme! Just happy it's still in theaters. It's been a busy few weeks and I thought we'd missed it our chance.

Mario Kart World's racing is pretty fantastic and Knockout is a great new mode. But the open world is pretty-damn uninspired and there are so many terrible design decisions that stifle potential fun, I'm kind of shocked. They said the $80 price tag would make sense once we played it. Not even close.

Catching up on the latest season of Doctor Who and "The Story and the Engine" is one of those season-defining episodes, huh?

Jenn has informed me she has only seen The Fifth Element once instead of the standard 137 times, so I feel a great need to correct that.

Heading back to work today, so of course I've been awake since 4, my allergies are killing me and I've got a headache. That should make a week's worth of catch-up especially fun.

As someone with strong memories of Liquid Television on MTV, especially as someone who recently revisited the series, Blippo on Playdate is speaking straight to my heart. It's so easy to get lost in there, surfing channels and only catching a piece of the whole, but those pieces are still enough.

Bushwalker, on Blippo+, is peak television. #Playdate

Predator: Killer of Killers was wall to wall action and fun. Really dug this anthology. Bring on Badlands!

I need The Foul King bodyslammed into my eyeballs immediately! #Wrestlesky youtu.be/i-O-MVYM_JQ?...

Last day of my nerdcation. Spending it giving my body a chance to recover from Phoenix Fan Fusion and finally spending some quality time with the Switch 2...Specifically Fantasy Life.

Catching up on the Xbox Games Showcase and how is Beast of Reincarnation not tied to Wild Hearts in any way?

With Season Two underway and Playdates back in stock in our warehouse, all the stars are aligned—grab one today! 🎁 play.date

I met Powerline!

I only go to AMC if there's a special event I'm attending because, good lord, their concession experience is the absolute pits. Silver lining, seeing Mallrats with Jason Mewes and Jason Lee! ...If I ever get through these lines, that is.

Mostly liking Mario Kart World, but they made some boneheaded decisions. Races starting as trips to courses is fine as an option, but not too big on it being the norm. The course selection map is cute once, then tedious. Not being able to pop into a single 1-player, 3-lap race vs Comp is insane.

Had to miss #TheLastDriveIn last night because we are at Phoenix Fan Fusion, but that just means we have a couple nice catch-up sessions to look forward to in the coming weeks.

We're all just talking about Switch 2 launch day stuff today, right? Nothing else noteworthy going o- *opens Bluesky* Ooooooh, snap.

Credit where it's due, Nintendo crushed the full system transfer from Switch to Switch 2. The process was simple, it took very little time and everything carried over without issue. Spent some time checking my Animal Crossing island, Splatoon 3 file, etc. All moved over perfectly.

Switch 2 transfer and full setup took maybe 30 minutes total. Smoother process than expected and, despite what I've seen online, it brought over captures from the OG Switch. Leaving it to download games overnight and it's ready to roll. Really thought it would be a hassle, but happy to be wrong!

Sorted! #Switch2

I'm 20th in the Switch 2 pre-order line and only got here an hour ago. I think we were all just avoiding the AZ heat as long as possible. So I might actually get home at a decent hour! Plan to set up the system tonight, but wait until tomorrow to play. Old Man Winslett needs his sleep.

Lilo & Stitch plays it about as safe as possible, and some of the magic is lost as a live-action film, but the original meant a LOT to me and I had a nice time with this remake. I laughed, I teared up, I laughed some more. Also, I would go to war for Maia Kealoha. She is precious.

Evening plans include Lilo & Stitch, pizza and picking up my Switch 2.

Decided to transfer a 19GB game from the Switch console to the memory card. Just wanted everything in one place. It will take 1 hour 10 minutes and the console will go to sleep if I don't wiggle the thumbstick every 5 minutes. Baffling.
