Switch 2 take: solid! Mario Kart World feels like the right next step for the series and Donkey Kong Bananza looks so fun! GameCube stuff is great; hope the emulation is good. Third party stuff is less interesting to me because I already own all those games I’d want to play, but cool for new players

Finally read Hackers. It’s a classic for a reason; “hacker ethic” is kind of a corny term these days, but it makes for a good through line from early to personal computers. Also, a surprising amount about Sierra in here!

the biggest compliment I can give this game is that shooting CDs is cool, more games should let you shoot CDs

I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream is a unique horror game that was recently ported to modern consoles by @nightdivestudios.bsky.social. We spoke with the game's original team back in 2012 to learn how Harlan Ellison's apocalyptic short story became a game. www.gameinformer.com/b/features/a...
