Doesn't NVidia still supply the GPU for the Switch 2 like they did the Switch? If so, that would be some grand irony.

Yeah, I don't know WTF NVidia was smoking when they thought we'd really think this was an improvement.

I like pineapple (yes, really), bacon, spinach, and mushrooms. I can supply my own bbq sauce to go with that if you order from a place that doesn't do that.

I hope blusky adds polls. Miss doin shit like "banana smoothie vs long USB cable vs Garfield sucks" Garfield actually fuckikg sucks though. That part is real, I genuinely hate the shit out of Garfield. Always have. I'd just see everyone pick Garfield and get mad. Fuck polls don't add them to this

🚨 Congress is advancing a bill called #KOSA that will ramp up mass surveillance and censorship online under the guise of protecting youth. In truth, this will endager everyone in the LGBTQ community, including young people. Please go to stopkosa.com to tell Congress NO @fightforthefuture.org

Stop KOSA

KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!

Contact your Reps, and tell them to OPPOSE these bills! Stay strong, and fight for your rights and privacy!

That last Steam Next Fest made me realize something. It kinda reminded me of the joy I felt when I got demo discs in the age of disc-based consoles before digital downloads. I used to spend hours excitedly trying these demos, getting a glimpse at games of the future, just like in Next Fest.

It's time for Mollie's yearly #Sega shelf update! Here's my current Genesis/MD collection going into 2026, versus at the start of 2024 and 2022. Didn't grow a crazy amount over 2025, but last year WAS a great year for new releases, adding 6 new games to my shelf through those alone.

Also, I refuse to accept that I really somehow spent more hours playing Team Sonic Racing than I did Sonic Mania. But I do also have Sonic Mania on Steam, so if I add up my hours there, it's gotta be more than the 12 hours I put into TSR.

Yep. Call me a major Splatoon fan. Splatoon 2 was my first Switch game and Splatoon 3 is what I easily spent the most time on. That last Frosty Fest was fun, btw.

You played a lot more than me, at least on Switch.

This game really reminded me why I used to love Kingdom Hearts so much in my teenage years. The music sure took me back. I really wanna play through all those games again.

My 2025 year in review with Nintendo Switch. I played 37 games last year for a total of 295 hours, and my favorite game I tried last year was Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory.
