I think I need a social media detox. Nothing on here has particularly been making me upset, but I'm realizing that I'm just never happy anymore unless I'm playing a video game. I need to start leaving my phone behind, stop scrolling, and just lock in on videos and my backlog.

Guantanamo Bay should really try implementing this whole "Trying To Get a Switch 2" thing into their torture regimen. I think it would really fit well!

I love Mario Kart but FAST FUSION being able to run 4-player split screen at 60fps kinda makes it look like a chump after what we saw in that Direct, lol

The panic over Game Key Cards on Switch 2 just makes me so tired. I agree that they are dumb, but we cannot pretend that every single physical game on Xbox and PlayStation for the past ten years hasn't been a "Game Key Disc" because they ALL ARE. ALWAYS. This is not new in the slightest.

Andor season 2 is off to an alright start, but certain elements of it (one in Episode 3 in particular) really left a bad taste in my mouth. Some things really just do not belong in Star Wars if you ask me.

New natori song, as is standard, sounds absolutely nothing like anything they’ve made previously and also rocks super hard youtu.be/pYcaNfiEFjQ?...

I mean sure, other companies overwork their employees, treat them like they’re worthless, abuse them, and lay them off to make profit margins look better, BUT I DRAW THE LINE AT $80 MARIO KART

I am bewildered by the number of people complaining that #MarioKartWorld only has 30 tracks, not only because we've literally already seen 32 (which is the amount that every single new MK has launched with for 20 years), but also because the connective segments are basically bonus tracks.

Weird question I didn't think about until now: what happens if you buy a game digitally on Switch 1, then go to Switch 2 and buy the upgrade pack? Can you still move the virtual card back to Switch 1 and play that original version? Or will the upgrade screw you because it's now a Switch 2 game?

I know this is random, but I highly recommend you don't purchase Purina dog food. I had to take a 1-day-old bag back to the store today because there were larvae crawling around it inside and out. It would be bad enough if this was the first time, but nope. Found insects in there like 6 times now.

I will say, I’m having trouble playing Switch games at the moment if they have ANY performance issues at all, since I suspect even un-patched games like Sword & Shield will run better on Switch 2. I can’t wait to see how it handles all these old games.

I really wonder if people are turned away by the Demo Disc logo in thumbnails. Is it bad? Does it imply something unpleasant? I think next time I'll leave it out so people will potentially click it and get Trojan Horse'd into watching one lol

Even though the #MarioKartWorld Direct was a little underwhelming, can we at least agree that the soundtrack sounds INSANE so far!? Topping Mario Kart 8's is an insane concept, but EVERYTHING from World so far is ear candy, and it's SO awesome that there are new arrangements of non-Kart Mario songs.

I vowed to give myself some time to just guilt-free enjoy some video games today, but now I have to decide which to play... There are so many both new and old that have been on my mind recently. There's a part of me that wants to prioritize ones for video ideas, but that kinda kills "guilt-free" lol

I like Nintendo Today a lot so far, but I really need to know why it won't show me anything Pikmin related. It's selected in my "favorites" or whatever AND I use the Pikmin theme every day, and yet I've never once gotten a Pikmin article. GIVE ME CHACHO

Mario Kart World still looks awesome but they definitely set everyone’s expectations too high with how they talked about this Direct. The coolest info took up like 48 seconds of it, and SO much of that we already knew from pre-release footage.

HI, I decided to value my sleep a little and NOT wake up at 6:00am for a 15-minute Mario Kart Direct, but I'm unspoiled and READY TO GO now, so I'm LIVE (maybe for like an hour? idk it depends on how much there is to talk about) www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyU4...

My number one hope for the #MarioKartWorld Direct on Thursday is that we get live footage of the band performing like we did for 8. Also, it would be amazing if Katsuta and Masuzaki are included in the band again. I NEED more DIMENSION-performed Mario Kart music. I NEED IT.

I haven't kept up with the normal MHA in a while, but I really like the Vigilantes so far

Wait, where IS he???? #MarioKart #MarioKartWorld

#Kirby

WAIT… IS IT HIS TIME???? #MarioKartWorld

The wine was the only part of this that was at all a joke. Still considering this. It just feels so bad thinking about putting what I've been making behind, because I do love it, but at what point do I just accept that they take too much time to not be a full-time thing (which I can't afford)?

I didn't really think about it until now, but the "Nintendo is so greedy" discourse is even more pathetic and forced when you consider that it hasn't even been a year since Sony asked $700 for a console that's a minuscule upgrade, barely has any exclusives, with disc drive & stand sold separately.

this is me if u even care
