OG is on the left. They are very similar! #virtualboy

He made it!

Brand new footage of the Virtual Boy debut in 1995. It would have been cool to include these non-interactive demos in the Switch release! People love squinting at the Super Mario one!

Just sitting at work wondering if my beautiful boy will make it to my house today or not. #virtualboy

I Can’t Stop Playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons - What's A Computer? On January 15th, 2026, Nintendo released both the new 3.0 update as well as the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Like many, I played a lot...

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

“Hey! This rules, what song is this??”

DJ: the song that plays during the internet settings menu on 3DS

This is amazing 🤣

we live in the ruins of a greater civilization

Did not expect the story of Mario Tennis Fever to basically begin with “Daisy is on her deathbed.”

Twenty Years Of Podcasts - Jason Journals Around 2005, I discovered podcasts. I didn’t have an iPod at the time. Instead I used the Dell Axim X3 Pocket PC. For years, I connected it to my computer...

The iPhone Is Sticky - Jason Journals When it comes to tech, my wife is NOT like me; she's normal! She uses stuff that works and (somehow) just sticks with it. For example, she's had the same...

Mostly full screen though it can do all of the windowed app magic. The screen is simply better suited for full screen apps in my use though.

You should! I’d be interested to read it.

Great article explaining the messy releases of Switch 2 Editions so far. I really wish Nintendo would separate the Switch 2 performance updates, which should be free, from the new content, which I am fine with them charging extra for.

I think my favorite version of a game tutorial is when the tutorial is a in-game place called something like “The Rules Club” full of people saying things like “Hey Shrimp, you can select things with A. Pretty wild, right?”

The recent Nintendo Classics NSO update has introduced Balloon Kid to the library and I consider it to be one of Nintendo's best but often overlooked Game Boy games.
But there's actually a little more going on with this game than what most Nintendo fans realize.

My Current Favorite Podcasts - What's A Computer? I’ve enjoyed listening to podcasts for a very long time, dating all the way back to when I bought my first iPod back in 2004. Back then, I would connect...

I was just thinking about how much I enjoy the medium of podcasts and realized I have been consuming them for over 20 years now! So I wrote up a post about some of my favorites, both past and present. #podcasts

Giving the iPad mini 7 another go after not using it for some time. I had forgotten just how compact and convenient it is. Using it for podcast listening, RSS reading, YouTube, and blogging currently. #iPad #iPadmini

Nintendo has released its top selling software through the end of 2025 for the Switch 2. Mario Kart World continues to impress with 14 million copies sold and I was so pleased to see Kirby Air Riders make an appearance with 1.76 million copies sold! #NintendoSwitch2 #MarioKartWorld #KirbyAirRiders

Was briefly a Bellionaire for the first time ever in New Horizons. My house is finally paid off for good! #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons #Switch2

Soaring to the top event complete! #KirbyAirRiders #Kirby #Switch2

In Defense Of The Switch 2’s First Six Months - What's A Computer? The Switch 2 has been out for a little over half a year now and as someone who has had one since launch, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with...

I've noticed a lot of criticism regarding the Switch 2 online recently and while some of it is warranted, a lot of it isn't in my opinion. I wrote some thoughts down about this on the site. #nintendo #nintendoswitch2

We had it so good on the Cube

Nintendo bringing finished-but-unreleased Virtual Boy games to Switch is fantastic news. Zero Racers is an F-Zero spinoff! D-Hopper is an action adventure by Intelligent Systems! These are big deal internally-developed Nintendo games. Exciting times for big nerds
