I'm all in on Nintendo Switch 2 and I'll be trying my best to get one ASAP, but I'm a little surprised at how light the first party game lineup is on day one. Mario Kart World is gonna be absolutely massive and fun but after that there's not a ton of NEW stuff to play at launch. Thoughts?

One of the many reasons that @duckvalentine.bsky.social rules is that I’ll message her saying “Cow can eat steak in the new Mario Kart game” and she’ll spend an hour verifying details, tracking down footage, and contacting PR before publishing an article about it.

It’s been a long week so you deserve a picture of a Nintendo Switch 2 being held next to a PS1 Wu-Tang controller.

Mike’s book & audiobook are out today! It’s an incredibly funny and endearing personal journey through his craft and love for video games and I promise it’s good. Also he says several nice things about me in it (true) AND he gave me a $5 Nintendo eshop gift card to post this (untrue, but deserved)

Seeing JD Vance act like a big brave alpha male tough guy is hilarious considering he couldn’t figure out how to order food at a DONUT SHOP which is like the most rock bottom bare minimum hunter gatherer thing a dad has to do for his family these days.

I got to help exclusively reveal these "Klassic Mortal Kombat" action figures today and if I traveled back in time to tell middle school version of me that he'd be doing this some day, he'd probably say "dude holy shit!" and then he'd say "so... when exactly do I go bald?"

Hope folks enjoyed this show! I was head writer on this show for third or fourth year in a row and it's always an honor (and a ton of fun) to help with these!

I usually only ask you to do one bit of self care every day, but today's a special day. Bonus self care. The current admin is considering shutting down the free covid test program and just destroying 160 million tests instead. You can get 4 tests free sent directly by the USPS.

Outside of being a ghastly, rotting bag of painted shit, the other most consistent thing about this guy is he's just a totally spineless and incapable leader. It's the easiest thing in the world for a politician to say "this is a tragedy, our thoughts are with the families" and he just can't do it.
