Best Buy crashed and still doesn't have pre-orders up. Walmart has a queue, so who knows. Target was smooth for me though on my phone and nabbed a Switch 2 right away. What a blur.

So long as it doesn't get canceled, just snagged a Switch 2 at Target. Yesssss.

After hitting the one-year mark on Substack, I've had a better sense of its purpose and what I use it for (tech and business commentary, reviews, and the like). So, I've given it a rebrand with a new name, look, and domain. Read more details and subscribe: www.ctrlaltdeliberate.com/p/introducin...

Saw Glenngarry Glen Ross. Great cast and acting. Script was a bit dated. Had some good laughs though.

Fun fact: in the book Careless People, Justin Trudeau is called a president and a prime minister right across the page from each other.

In a new piece, I wrote about why I’ve switched to Pixel and Windows (hello ZenBook Duo), how the arguments for Apple aren’t as strong as they used to be, and why many tech creators and longtime users are quietly starting to feel the same itch. open.substack.com/pub/joshmcco... #tech #apple #AI

South of Midnight is fantastic. One of my favorite games in recent memory. Great story and graphic style, but the audio really pulled me in with an amazing original soundtrack and special effects (especially with surround sound). Couldn't stop playing and ran credits over the weekend #gaming #xbox

New from me: I attended an event in NYC last weekend where I got to play the Nintendo Switch 2. Here are my thoughts and picks for stand-out titles. In short, there are no real surprises here hardware-wise, but I still cannot wait to get one. #Gaming

I love how we're in an era of gaming where I can play a console game on my TV (eg PS5 or XBX), and then pick up where I left off on either a handheld (eg: PS Portal / Steam Deck) or a computer/tablet with a console game controller. My young SNES-playing self's mind would be blown right now.

But does the 90-day tariff pause mean I can get my Switch 2 at the same price it was announced for? That's what I want to know.

South of Midnight dropped at 12pm ET and all I want to do is play it, but instead I have to be a responsible adult and work all day so I can pay rent.

Despite the cold, I did a 5K on Governor's Island today and it was a ton of fun (even though the place looked haunted in this weather). Today's run also supported Broadway Cares, so they blasted Broadway music. Good times. #nycruns #nyc

Got to play a ton of Nintendo Switch 2 today including Donkey Kong, Mario Kart and Drag & Drive (my personal favorite). Can't wait for release day. #switch2 #gaming #nyc
