I just woke up from a dream where Weird Al had just announced retirement from music and did two other things alongside it. 1. He announced the opening of a CBGB’s type bar, but for parodies and comedy called HAHA’s.

2. He released a previously unreleased single & music video from 1996 called “Nuclear”. A pastiche of the feel good summer country songs of the mid-90’s. Where normally everyone is partying & setting off fireworks in these songs—in his, America is setting off the “big one” for our 220th anniversary.

Nintendo knows *exactly* what they’re doing. Screw grabbing for nostalgia. Aim young, plant the seeds, rake in the cash until the person is 45.

Nintendo has announced a new stop-motion Mario show that's set to premiere on YouTube. The series, which will feature kid-friendly animated episodes just one-minute in length, will launch alongside a range of new toys, picture books, and more released under a new "My Mario" banner. bit.ly/45bIP6B

I just went on eBay and bought the cheapest physical copy that they had for whatever version was the cheapest. So I got the Switch version for $20. Idk if the physical prices will shoot up in cost, but now I don’t have to worry if they do.

Sorry everyone, but I had to share it while it was fresh in my mind. I don’t usually dream either and I’m not this imaginative during the day. Thanks!

Nbd. However, Nintendo should sell their Switch 2 HDMI separately. What if I move & lose it somehow. Or maybe a newly adopted puppy chews it up. Anything can happen to it, that’s life, so they should supply more. Or sell extra docks that have the cord hardwired in. Imagine 50 years down the road!

IGN@ign.com

Some Nintendo Switch 2 owners are reporting that their Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons are disconnecting over and over again. However, they've also found an easy fix: just use the Nintendo Switch 2 official HDMI cable.

SPREAD THE NEWS 🎮 “Remember to turn on "stop charging around 90%" and "HDR output for compatible software" on your Nintendo Switch 2. The first one will make your battery last longer, and the second one will stop the Switch 2 trying to give a "fake" HDR for unsupported games making them look ugly.”

Xbox #2 of 4 also works just fine in every way and BadUpdate eventually booted on it too. It’s a Jasper and boots into BadUpdate half as often as the Falcon.
