Mario Kart World Oddities & Corporate Sponsors
I originally wrote this as part of Wednesday's Switch 2 Nintendo Direct, but it's really a weird bit of esoterica, and ended up being fairly long too, so I split it off into this post.

MKW's apparently an open world Mario game, and open world games need more world building than otherwise. What I am

Nintendo Direct 4/2/2025: The Switch 2
Nintendo's last direct was just a few days ago, and now they have another one, one devoted to their next console, the Switch 2, and /wow/, the internet consensus on it seems pretty harsh. It's coming out June 8th, and it'll cost $449 dollars in the US. I mean sure, the awful tariffs of a certain Orange Person may

Recovered: Furnitures the Great Brown Oaf
It's April 1st again, and I've taken to doing a change of pace post on this day every year. Two years ago, it was a plea for returning to the old days of the web, or at least the good, rose-colored parts of it. Last year, well, I forgot last year.

The Switch Has A Web Browser You Can’t Use
It's true. It's meant for things like WiFi login pages and displaying online manuals, but it doesn't have a field for entering URLs yourself.

Seems unfair to me, but I suppose they thought everyone has a smartphone these days. (Until recently, I didn't!) And I understand the web browser was a persistent security ho

“Cloudsurfing” in Final Fantasy VII

7DRL 2025
It got by me this year, but the now 20-year-old 7 Day Roguelike Challenge, a gamejam where people try to construct a complete roguelike within a week's time, finished up Saturday.

Not only has it been around a long time, but a number of games have come out of it that went on to greater things. Jupiter Hell got its start as a 7DRL project called DoomRL. The amazing Jeff
