Nerd Confirmed

Excited to announce that Nerd Confirmed - our independent, user-supported videogame website - goes live on June 1st, 2025! Our site is dedicated to thoughtful, honest writing about videogames for the people who play them. Bookmark nerdconfirmed dot com to get ready for launch day!

It was always going to end this way

But get high in corp hierarchy and everyone is drunk on power, lobotomized by wealth, and has only transactional relationships. So they are VERY SAD about WFH because it removes them from their physical manifestation of power. But they can't admit that to themselves or to others, so excuses

Emma, you legend

Required listening, and not just for those of us who write about games. It would be willful malpractice to not question your relationship with corporations after listening. We have the power to force change when we have the discipline to enact it in ourselves.

Played A Week in the Life of Asocial Giraffe at L.A. Comic Con, and it rules. Doing ridiculous things and going out of my way to avoid talking to people is kind of my whole thing.

We're at L.A. Comic Con 2025!

Making this video our entire personality moving forward

Turnstile's "Never Enough" live video promoting a new album was peak nostalgia nerdconfirmed.com/2025/06/01/i...

Really happy to see the spine art of the Switch 2 boxes are no longer uniform red with white writing. These are SO much cooler (still prefer the Switch 1 front covers, though)

Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition on Switch 2 comes with sticker set and a welcome letter #NintendoSwitch2

TARGET ACQUIRED

Nothing like a console launch day! While we're over the moon excited for Switch 2, we can't help feeling a little bummed how safe Nintendo went with it

Almost time to wake up again, samurai

The Year of Taste

Switch 2 has us wistful for past Nintendo hardware nerdconfirmed.com/2025/06/01/s...

Nerd Confirmed Lives! So grateful to finally have this out in the world. Your support means everything! Much to tweak and streamline, but happy reading! nerdconfirmed.com

Going live today! (no matter what) Will post once the site is live. Excited to get this baby up and running!

Happy Pride Everyone! June is LGBTQIA+ Pride Month and we at RPGFan are always happy for an excuse to express our love and support for our queer readers and staff! RPGs are for everyone and representation matters! Feature: www.rpgfan.com/featu...

Great preview of Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake by the @easyallies.bsky.social crew. Couldn't be more obsessed with DQ. Is it October yet? youtu.be/Da2yX203nMw?...

Anyone else obsessively watching and rewatching Switch 2 reaction/impression/trailer videos in anticipation of release? Just us? hahahaha...

Glad to have confirmation that GameStop is expecting extra units available for launch. Obviously limited based on store, but very encouraging. Can't wait for 9pm pickup on the 4th!

Forgot to post a pic from Sunday's Orioles v. Angels game in Anaheim

Got a GameCube NSO controller. Seems like folks are still in line but getting to place orders? Hoping everyone who wants one gets one.

Sometimes the Internet is very good 🤣

I'm obsessed with this little professional racer #MarioKartWorld

Incredible news that the Giant Bomb crew bought the website! Independent, employee owned media is the future.

We are so fucking back @heavymetalofficial.bsky.social #HeavyMetalMagazine

Fuck yes! Now I hope she can sue the fuck out of the government for violating her 1st Amendment rights.

RIP GameCube controller order. You MUST also be purchasing a Nintendo Switch 2 console to be eligible to purchase any games or accessories during your buying window.

Got my Nintendo Switch 2 preorder invite! Says I have 3 days to purchase, in case anyone was curious about the buying window. I have a preorder already, but hoping the GameCube controller is available.

Raantanen is unreal

Not sure when it happened, but I think Nintendo Music has become my most listened-to music app 🤓

This is canon to both Sonic and Clair Obscur. I can't explain.

[Giveaway] To celebrate the Nintendo Switch 2 launch, we're doing our biggest social media giveaway in our 17+ year history. Repost and follow for a chance to win a console bundle with Mario Kart World. Ends June 1, 2025, open worldwide.

Artificial Intelligence when I was a kid

Can't believe I forgot to look for this today 🤦 Well, on the hunt tomorrow. Heavy Metal is BACK!

Epic Free Comic Book Day haul + extras! The benefits of having too many kids, lol

I can listen to artists talk about craft ENDLESSLY. Everyone should read Death of the Author. It's an instant classic.

Oh, and saying "it's just Paper Mario combat" is gonna sell me on the game 100% of the time

Better stop before I play Clair Obscur all fucking night. Just did the first beach thing. This game rules.

IT'S THE SKIN OF A KILLER BELLA

On my way to put $ on my Switch 2 preorder at Gamestop and I just KNOW I'm going to preorder a bunch of games while I'm there when I shouldn't. gdi future me

Really happy with how our launch articles are shaping up for the site. Expecting to go live by the end of this month leading into Summer Games Fest. Maybe bookmark for when the site goes up? Independent gaming website go VROOOM!! nerdconfirmed.com

fucking corpos, man
