Happened upon an SNES Classic at a used bookstore last weekend for $65 and brought it home, solely to play Super Mario RPG and FFVI.

I’m just gonna say it, it is (partially) my fault. I was a whale for the now-defunct Final Fantasy Record Keeper, and I singlehandedly made these not-so-microtransactions the norm. Thankfully, the global version of FFRK shut down last year (despite my wanting to collect everything for everyone), and my wallet has been…

Peter Thiel, is that you? Thought you’d be above a burner account, but here you are, attempting to troll a fellow gay.

Love me some Jalopnik. Some Root (though their comments are off as of late!?). Some Kotaku. Some Giz. Also Lifehacker, even though they are no longer with G/O. Somehow, they still use Kinja and I am ungreyed there as well. Small wins, I guess.

You’ll always be a member of the elite commentariat.

Dear Jez, I my heart is heavy with grief at this juncture. May your wit, insights, activism, and light shine forevermore.

Aaaaaaaand Blackout was all the better without Timbaland. Blackout is her magnum opus as far as I am concerned. No clue what Danja is up to these days, but do they even NEED to be doing anything after helping birth that masterpiece!?

If you read their opinions and dissents, they are practically pleading for a party to come before them asking the question that they have the “answer” for. Some are more eloquent with these siren songs, calling for a case to be brought to them, and others are extremely to-the-point with blaring sirens calling for the…

Bingo. With The Nine, it is all about coming before the court with the precisely *right* question to which the majority will answer in the affirmative or negative to induce their desired result, altering reality for us all.

Wild localization issues are not as common with Nintendo as they once were, and I’d argue that was something that Reggie Fils-Aime had a hand in, as well as him wanting the Big N to leverage social media to amplify their reach. Nintendo Treehouse was created specifically to improve localizations for English, Spanish,…

Sort of. The descent into Area Zero is less “scary” than going into the big crater in FFVII, but maybe ten times more unsettling. You go the whole game with a map, and then boom, nothing. Navigation, off. The lighting in there is weird, the draw distance is wonky, and there are some OP pokemon lurking at every corner.…

Polls at this point are just doomsdayism plus gobbledygook numbers. That said, these numbers do tell us that only retired Boomers are some of the only ones responding to these polls. Back to your usual news!

Just give it two screens, and make it backwards compatible with 3DS and DS games (even if we must re-buy them) and we have a solid gold deal.

Pun still very much appreciated, as it belittles Musk’s plaything of the moment.

I was also today years old when I realized I could tweet from my Switch, but that is a whole NOTHER thing. You’re probably right that they will follow Sony’s lead with this and just pass on the socials altogether, because if we have learned anything, it is that Nintendo is HAPPY with the DMCA banhammer. Can’t blame…

So wait, Nintendo is perfectly fine with letting you tweet from your Switch, and paying them for API access, but is NOT okay with just letting the servers that keep 3DS and Wii U services rock out a bit longer? BIG WOMP.

Ozymandias, indeed.

Sounds like someone is a digital cluttermonster!

ANYTHING to keep the DS and 3DS library playable, even if in some bananas virtual console or subscription breadcrumbing setup is better than just...sunsetting all those thousands of games so unceremoniously.

Bayyyyybeh. I am going to say this as gently as I can: Creole ancestry is Black ancestry. Please stop with the Raven Symone semantics and, “I am not African American” nonsense. You, yourself, defined mixed Black folks as Black, yet you want to puzzlingly dissociate and differentiate as Creole, as if kinfolk and…
