Part of the LA protest is, uh, currently outside my hotel window.

The thing that struck me both about this article is how the recordings so perfectly reflected my experience as a parent. From the blender going in the background to trying to validate the emotions of both kids while also searching for a solution, it's just so *real*.

I adore that Patrick writes from this perspective as a dad. I don't have kids and might never for reasons I won't get into even though Morgan and I both want them desperately, but to see how he is able to be a parent and have games be a part of their lives in such a fun way is so sweet.

Same thing happened with my kids! Tears were shed. Split screen free roam soon please. Also one was upset you had to drive on the water instead of under it. One said it looked “too computery” compared to 8 Deluxe. Once they saw the food and costume changes everything was better.

I spent the morning surprising my daughters with a Switch 2 and Mario Kart World. What happened next was happiness and disappointment, as we discovered what they'd dreamed of doing in Mario Kart World wasn't actually possible. At @crossplayblog.bsky.social www.crossplay.news/p/what-do-ki...

i stayed in line overnight at a circuit city waiting for the wii. i was also tripping on acid

Patrick was live blogging an experience younger gamers may never have. This is a migration of nerds rarely seen now.

I stood in line for a Switch 2 last night and had another pre-order dropped off this morning before the one a company called “Nintendo” is sending me has shown up. 🫠

Haven’t stood in a pre-order line since…Wii? Honestly, pretty damn cool! (I have a review unit coming tomorrow, but I’m picking up pre-orders I nabbed to help out some colleagues.)

Was Bloodstained any good?

I finished this entire opus over the last week. To sum it up, there are a few highs and some absolutely crushing lows. Being so many hours in, and especially after part 5, that ending is unforgettable. I’m rooting for the @patrickklepek.bsky.social froggy completion arc!

Please don't announce a Bloodborne remaster while I drop my kid off at gymnastics.

Wrote a small “eulogy” for the first Nintendo Switch on my personal blog through the lens in which I appreciated it most: Introducing my kids to video games. jasonfanelli.wordpress.com/2025/06/04/t...
