Calm morning in the office so far. Still pretty broken up over the passing of PAC so I'm firing up a queue of his matches to pass the time today. Starting with this absolute banger from NXT Takeover: R-Evolution. If y'all got favorites, send it my way so I can queue it up.

Got my #RebelHeart T-shirt (and the wristband) from ShopAEW recently. Wearing it when I head out today. 😁✌🏾

I'm reminded of an instance where there was an artist drawing a character on stream, and someone rushed ahead to finish it (using genAI) by feeding it screenshots of the work in progress, passing it off as their own, and trying to frame the artist as a thief. Some people have no shame whatsoever.

🇵🇸 Genel Jumalon
@GenelJumalon

During a Twitch stream AT (@haruno intro) had their art stolen.

The thief then finished the sketch by using NovelAl and posted on their Twitter before AT finish it.

Then had the AUDACITY to demand a "proper reference" from them.

Almost forgot my copy of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave came in today! Felt like I've been missing out on the series for a good while since I never got too far into Three Houses and basically skipped everything in between. I guess this is how I come back into the fold. 👍🏾

I shit you not, the fix right now is to slot them into the grip backwards. 🤣

Joy-Con 2 controllers slotted backwards on the Genki Delta Grip. A Nintendo Switch 2 console is also present.

So, there's the inner connector intake slots on the Joy-Con 2 which allows it to be slotted into the grip (which actually doubles as a charging grip, btw). I assume that the controllers somehow realize a connection to something non-proprietary and it disrupts the connection?

So with all the goodness of the new #NintendoSwitch2 firmware update, there is a specific caveat - if you were using your Joy-Con 2 controllers just fine with the Genki Delta Grip before, they're not gonna work after you update. Hoping for a fix to come out soon, but man, this really pissed me off.

Didn't take too long for me to go back and 100% the DLC episodes as well in Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered! 😁 I'm still short like 10 achievements for a fully completed game, but I think I've squeezed enough out of this one - also not gonna jump into Miles Morales or the sequel any time soon.

Definitely worth the wait, but here it is - an autographed 7-inch vinyl of Sunset Road 2.0 by the one and only Reiko Takahashi! Funny enough, this is the very first 45 in my #vinyl collection, and it's definitely an amazing first considering the signature from a city pop icon. 😁
