Layton please!!! Layton Layton Layton!!!

Obviously as a trans person, the fact that Labour has done more damage to trans rights than the Tories did in 14 years is shocking and awful

But now with this internet legislation which is just unpopular across the board, I really don't see Labour getting re-elected for a decade or longer

Not to go on and on about UK politics, but I really think what Labour is doing right now is going to be looked back on in the same way as Lib Dems' disastrous coalition from 15 years ago.

I think there are huge swaths of people that will not vote Labour again, whose trust has been totally broken

How Nintendo modernized Pauline

I talk about:
- How Pauline was created for the arcade
- How a legendary anime artist redesigned her
- Why Odyssey's devs decided to bring her back

Has Xbox considered laying one person off instead of thousands:

YouTube video by Thomas Game Docs Why Mario Kart got rid of crossover characters

NEW VIDEO!

Mario Kart 8 was full of non-Mario racers: Link, Isabelle, Inkling and more.

But in Mario Kart World, these "crossover" characters are completely gone. Even the Miis!

Here's why: youtu.be/VAmYK8RMWn8

Drag x Drive coming on August the 14th, via Nintendo Today!

Which is so good! I feel like her voice is such a big part of Pauline's post-Odyssey characterisation, so I'm really happy it seems to be carrying over to Bananza as well!

Overall the game just looks so much better than I could've imagined!! Truly can't wait for July!

DK Bananza looks just unbelievably great!! like Odyssey 2, but also so much more!!

Pauline is my favourite main Mario cast member, so I'm thrilled that she has such a big role in the new game! and the voice definitely sounds like Kate Higgins to me, which is great!

Behind the music of Mario Kart World

Mario Kart World features one of Nintendo's biggest ever soundtracks, and the music here is really incredible.

But how did Nintendo write all of this music? How does the game seamlessly switch between songs?

Let's find out!

Thanks!!

Thank you!!

My brain has gone totally blank! What's the name of the song from around 4:00 in this video?

Also, I've been monitoring the video output on my TV using the passthrough feature, and it looks completely fine there. So I think if it were an issue with the HDMI cable, the passthrough would be affected too as it obviously has to go through the HDMI cable before reaching the TV

It's been widely confirmed that Elgato's devices are having problems with Switch 2 - not for everyone, but for quite a lot of people. That's why I'm pretty confident in blaming the capture card for the issue

yeah, the card is just 1080p60. The footage is coming through fine on my computer screen for the most part, so it's definitely not an HDR problem. And there's no visual glitches or noise, it's just dropping frames and the audio sounds choppy and cuts out every 20 / 30 seconds or so.

My Elgato isn't working well with the Switch 2 - dropping lots of frames, and the audio is choppy and cutting out.

Anyone know how other brand capture cards are working with Switch 2? I'm open to buying a new capture card anyway, since I've had this a few years now.

List of games assisted by Monolith Soft: Splatoon Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer Zelda: Breath of the Wild Splatoon 2 Animal Crossing New Horizons Splatoon 3 Tears of the Kingdom Mario Kart World

Just look at the projects Monolith have assisted on from the past generation

These are some of Nintendo's biggest Switch games

Monolith Soft is truly the best acquisition Nintendo have ever made

This is the studio that lent their expertise to team Zelda when they went open world, among many other things

Apologies for the very late reply!!! This is a super fascinating discovering and I think I'll almost certainly cover it on my channel!! Thanks so much for sending this over, and you must have a great ear because it's very impressive that you recognised it!! :))

Obviously it doesn't go very in depth, but for Nintendo to talk about any of these more technical details in an official capacity is very unusual!

Nintendo just released a new mini episode of Creator's Voice, with Jensen Huang, Nvidia CEO - talking about the Switch 2's processor!

If you buy or promote Hogwarts Legacy, this is what you are funding. You are funding the removal of transgender human rights.

Please DO NOT buy this game, and DO NOT cover this game on social media, or on your blog, or on your YouTube channel. If you do, you are not an ally to transgender people.

Where did Mario's iconic jump sound come from? What makes it so satisfying? And how has it changed over the past 39 years?

The origin of Mario’s iconic jump sound

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy.

This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

That's a very good point! That pretty much confirms Tour as not mainline as well, imo

Some key takeaways

- The game's been in development since 2017 (!!!)
- It was originally a Switch 1 game, but the team kept running up against the limits of the hardware
- The game features over 200 songs for the Free Roam mode!

It's just annoying as well because trans people have been saying that anti-trans legislation impacts EVERYONE, not just trans people, for ages!!

No-one bringing in these anti-trans judgements has even consulted a single trans person - and yet we'll probably be blamed for things like this happening!
