Thanks for the link to that thread! Entertaining and informative.

As a non-wrestling fan, I was surprised by the headline. I somehow didn’t expect the WWE employed even 70 wrestlers in the first place.

Amen.

This is a great app, but honestly it’s a pretty big letdown that this update only adds 4 Pokémon. I was really hoping for the entirety of Gen 2. My kids finished catching all the Gen 1 Pokémon a while ago.

Isn’t the minus button supposed to be the “Save & Quit” button? How do you do that now?

Or more likely it’s a regional thing, and the internet hadn’t been invented yet.

“Shutdown”, like “login”, is a noun, not a verb. You log in to your email, and you shut down a corporate office.

I know I’m getting old when it takes me a few minutes to parse “perf”. I assume it’s some slangy shorthand for “perfect”?

Full disclosure: I probably wouldn’t buy an N64 Classic either unless it were dirt cheap. I’m struggling to think of a game on that system I still want to play today other than Super Mario 64 and the two Zelda games, and I can already play those on the Switch and 3DS respectively. I may pony up the extra $30 when…

Man, I wish Sunshine was a fantastic game. I tried to play it again and it’s just an awful chore. It’s so buggy and—despite what seems to be the majority opinion of Mario mavens—does not feel good to control for me. The lack of a long jump really hurts. I still have nostalgia for parts of it, but I don’t think I’ll…

Thanks for reminding me to finish Fantasian so that I can cancel my Apple Arcade subscription.

I am 100% the audience for this. I grew up with the N64 (well, more the SNES, but I had an N64), I don’t like to trawl the internet for ROMs, and I spend way too much money on the eShop. I bought a SNES Classic (though I added more games to it). And I have Animal Crossing! I am literally the intended audience, but even…

When they said you’d be able to get a pro-rated discount on the expansion pack if you had a subscription, I foolishly assumed it meant I could pay a few bucks to add the Expansion Pack content to my sub that expires in December. But of course not; I’d have to subscribe for a full year as of upgrading, getting a small…

Perhaps they’re optimizing it so that it won’t be 12 GB, which is what the eShop said it would be the last time I looked.

While we’re not on board with the vitriol towards Munn (relationships are complicated!!!), we are on board with Tendler seizing her damn moment and joining TikTok to be received by her hoards of fans.

Phoenix Wright was also my top pick, but I would have at least loved some actual Disney trash (music, spirits, etc.). What we got was exclusively Tetsuya Nomura trash.

Just another reminder that, according to the eShop, Advance Wars 1+2 ReBoot Camp will somehow take up 12 GB on your Switch memory card. Hopefully it’s a typo, but if it’s not and you’re stingy with your card space like I am, pick up a physical copy!

I think 30% was probably exorbitant, but I understand Apple’s argument here. Thanks to this ruling, any app can now be “free” on the App Store and then once you start it up, ask you to pay the developer directly in order to access that app’s functionality. Apple’s revenue from the App Store now has a theoretical…

Cool, so how big is the average N64 ROM? How big is Ocarina of Time, as one example? I’m not asking rhetorically. I really want to know.

How much space does one N64 ROM take? Now how would you like to have 20 of them on your memory card in order to play one of them?
