We're triumphantly picking up microphones and watching them spin slightly above our open palms tomorrow when @mattcornah.bsky.social returns to the #Kongversation! We'll discuss Star Fox Adventures on Switch 2 and what it feels like to play Rare's Nintendo console swansong nearly 25 years later!
Prince Tricky talks to Fox McCloud by a campfire in SnowHorn Wastes.

"...STAY command and I'll sit on the Switch for you."

Despite how many people claim they're prepared to die on them, most hills in Britain (about 99.3%*) remain entirely corpse-free. * Statistic taken from Brilliant Hill Stats Dot Com, which is a real website probably.

THEORY: The level "Angry Aztec" from off of Donkey Kong 64 is called this, not because of anything to do with the Aztec civilisation, but because of the Aztec Zone from off of the 1990s Channel 4 game show The Crystal Maze.
Donkey Kong (tie wearing gorilla) stood by some stairs leading to an old temple in a sandy environment. The temple door has a picture of a llama on it. At the foot of the stairs there is a circular pad with his face on it. There are also bananas on the steps, which is an accident waiting to happen if you ask me.The Aztec Zone from off of the Crystal Maze. Old temples in a sandy environment.

Huge astronomy news! Not only has Pluto been reinstated as a planet, it is now larger than Saturn and Uranus. Source: children's ruler I found in a shop.
A children's ruler decorated with images of celestial objects (pictured: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) against a starry backdrop. You can't tell from the picture but it has a funky 3D effect when you move it around, it's amazing.

Post a computer game creature you'd quite like to have as a pet. I want one of these, please.
One of those weird spherical creatures with tiny legs and a giant beak from off of Super Mario Sunshine.

There should be a legal requirement not to label “long term online rental until the platform loses rights” as “Buy”. Call it what it is, “long rental”. At which point companies are incentivised to figure out how to make buy *mean* buy, or else lose sales to cheaper short rental and physical media.

Instead of capslock we should make it so that letters are capitalised if you PRESS REALLY HARD on the keys. Can someone sort that out? Okay, thanks.

I have an un-posted draft on here which begins "when I am World King" and then elaborates no further. This is probably an excellent argument for why I should not be World King.

This is how money should work in real life. Once you hit 99999 it just won't let you have anymore, that's your lot.

I'm on my holiday in the Scottish highlands this week and I've just seen something in the loch! This blows the whole thing wide open.
A strange creature apparently emerging from a loch. Some might say it looks very much like a human hand but to them I say SHUT YOUR FACE.

Hi Americans! In honour of your big birthday I have made a list of the BEST AMERICAN THINGS. • That Wesley Willis song about McDonald's • Clippy the Microsoft paperclip • The American woman who says "battery low" in my Bluetooth headphones • Worf off of Star Trek Okay, that's the end of the list.

Funny how the first three episodes of Star Trek (broadcast order, obvs) are "a person with magic powers has infiltrated the ship", "a person with magic powers has infiltrated the ship", and "a person with magic powers has infiltrated the ship".

When I was 14 all I ever really wanted to do was play Donkey Kong 64 and watch old episodes of Doctor Who. I am now 40 and all I ever really want to do is... umm, never mind.

I'm on DK Vine's Kongversation this week with the delicious and delightful Hyle Russell. As I recall we talked mainly about urinals, but there's probably some Donkey Kong stuff in there too. Yes, I AM very good at promoting things on social media, you're quite right!

If you're out in the woods around the Greater Manchester area today, be on the lookout for wild Matt Cornahs who like to skulk about this time of year. Here's one emerging from its den. DO NOT APPROACH (unless you have sweets).

Are they going to do a Lemmings film or not.
A lemming (which, if you don't know, is a green-haired humanoid in a big blue jumper) stood on a grassy plateau surrounded by mountains. In the background other lemmings are dicking about. Promotional artwork from Lemmings (1991).

OOOOH I know this one!!!! Is it because prices are based on what we can be forced to pay, not how much the thing costs to provide? And capitalists will always jack up their prices if they think we'll be tricked into paying? Is it that?
