Not at all. Before the Switch 2, the Switch was the single best video-gaming purchase I’d ever made (& I’ve been gaming since the 80s). The Switch 2 does everything it did better & is ready for all the new stuff it can’t handle.

The Switch 2 is now the single best gaming purchase I’ve made. 😎👍🏼

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

Another C0mmission done for @cranxerz.bsky.social Thank you again! ^^

Also, let us de-rank more than once if/when we are feeling out of our depth! 😜

…that has reached their “real” level so we can spend more time playing in our level with a good balance of meaningful wins & losses, rather than only ever getting crushed or carried with only the occasional well-balanced-feeling match.

In my humble opinion. 😉

…and get matched against players of similar skill more often. As it stands, it’s too easy to rank up & suddenly not get to have fun because everyone either steamrolls you or carries you (so even wins feel empty). They should redo how points are awarded/lost in series to slow progress of a player…

Honestly, I think there’s a simple solve for better matchmaking for one’s level: make it more difficult to rank up. Currently you can rank all the way up to S+ & beyond without winning a single series outside of rank-up series. If that weren’t the case, people would stay in level a lot longer…

this was a fun experiment 🐙

Good thread on how to set your Bluesky moderation settings. I’m thinking about setting all of the worst ones to “Warn” instead of “Hide”, that way I always have the option to take a look and see if things are being correctly moderated or not. I do not trust Bluesky moderation.

Dear Orcas: you know who else has nutritious livers? Yacht owning billionaires. You know, in case you decide you want to leave the sharks alone and get back to sinking yachts. 😉

A billion dollars is an immoral consequence of doing business in the way prescribed by society at large. It is necessarily exploitative and evil, and any decent person would actually give that money away before getting there.

A Trillion dollars is LITERALLY A THOUSAND TIMES WORSE.

Krita, day 4

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Screenshot from the Play Activity section of the Nintendo Store mobile app showing that I played the Splatoon 3 Splatfest World Premiere from August 25 to 27, 2022, with a total play time of just over 6 and a half hours.

Heh. The Play Activity section of the #Nintendo Store app has also documented the precise moment I became addicted to #Splatoon. Sure I was late to the party compared to those of you who played the first two, but this world premiere changed my gaming life. #Splatoon3 is my favorite multiplayer game.

Screenshot from the Play Activity section of the Nintendo Store mobile app showing that I first played Splatoon 3 on its release date of September 9, 2022 and most recently played on October 30, 2025. I have played a total of over 4200 hours on a total of 1023 days.

While becoming a bicycling nomad again has certainly reduced my #Splatoon3 gameplay recently, one might still argue that I have played Splatoon 3 too much.

I disagree and will play more when and as I can. 😜 #Splatoon #Nintendo

She will always be Queen to me.

Day 6 of #Nudivember was way too colorful for my taste. Who chose these species? Oh, wait.

Well, I for one am certainly glad I didn’t vote for him!

…

…

Because I don’t live in NYC so such a vote would have been fraudulent. 😜

W/ how Bluesky mods & execs have been acting when called out over their bad behavior, I wonder how much the Bluesky Moderation settings can be trusted to filter legitimately dangerous posts & not just people they are pissed off at.

I’m considering setting the worst ones to “warn” instead of “hide”🤔

Another day, another nudibranch for #Nudivember.

If you're hesitant about wearing a mask more often, just remember that it straightforwardly ROCKS to never get sick. Even without considering long-term health benefits, just the time and energy you save is a huge quality of life increase.

Don't talk to the NYT. They've betrayed families' trust before.

They will lie to you and use you and then turn around and tell you it was their job.

Reminder!!

Bluesky has a pronoun labeler you should really use!

Only those who subscribe to this will see it so you should do that. Don't worry, that's all it does.
