Good news this week: Endangered sea turtle Pancake, rehabbed since 2025 due to cold-stunning, was released back into the ocean; a royal tern chick in San Jose was ecstatic to receive a big fish from mom; a coyote pup with a detergent container over his head was rescued and will be fine.
#SplatoonRaiders is so awesome. Is Splatoon still considered underrated? I don't know. But I feel it absolutely deserves space alongside the very best of Nintendo's work (the Marios, Zeldas, etc...). This is such a clever spin on the core gameplay and the art and music direction is on-point.
I strongly dislike smart TVs in general. My older Samsung is getting more and more bloated with ads inside the menus and bloated promo stuff that slows everything down. Please just give me a barebones gorgeous panel with the ability to change input sources. 😂
honestly, fuck LG for adding these notifications at startup on their TVs. I had every option for promotions disabled in the system settings, but they added new ones through the built in apps. I’ll never ever own anything LG ever again.
This is what leadership looks like.

It seems fitting, this week, that the first games I played on my Steam Machine were some of my Sega Saturn favourites. #SteamMachine #SegaSaturn #Emulation #AthleteKings
Another fascinating piece from Shun-san. These stories are originally written in Japanese, translated, and then localised by hand. I'm having a lot of fun working with Shun on these pieces; we're bringing them to English readers as best we can.

I am quite enjoying sharing random gaming images from my travels. I’m rarely interested in weighing in on whatever “discourse” is currently hot, but sharing the memories is fun. I hope they bring a smile to your feed. 🙏
Now there’s some product photography. Those lens flares! 🤩
Australian devs, anyone know any Unreal engineering freaks looking for short-term contract work?
If a team makes a game that gets great reviews and doesn't sell, that's a biz failing but the silver lining is you caught lighting in a bottle -- protect that team! It's worth its weight in gold. If you jettison the team but keep the biz people, I don't know what to tell you
We have a beautiful, ambitious game in the works as well as other projects, with a cool announcement or two in the coming weeks. And so @rapideyemovers.bsky.social needed a site to match the excitement. Hope you ❤️ it as much as I do! www.rapideyemovers.com
Fantastic series from Shun Takata. I highly recommend checking it out; it's a touching narrative that will resonate with readers from around the world. I also really appreciate the close collaboration I've had with Shun-san from an editing and design perspective.
The conclusion to Shin Takata's epic series on the #Nintendo DNA, its transformative power, and ongoing legacy. ➡️ https://www.superjumpmagazine.com/the-100-yen-democracy-the-gift-of-courage/
Got an hour to spare today or tomorrow? Leave some kind comments on things you enjoy. Tell a developer they're doing a great job, or let an artist know their work is incredible. It can make a big difference in someone's day, trust me.
How perfectly this encapsulates the veneer of competence layered atop a seemingly bottomless pit of grift, aggressive ignorance, and cynicism.
