This video from 3 weeks ago about Jones popped up on my timeline this morning.

I’m pretty excited

Thunder pick up another guard because they have no guards.

Ultimate is a top tier game, but I do see your concern with only being able to play handheld. I can personally play it handheld for a while and not feel too bad (by that I mean hand cramps), but it certainly does feel 100x better on a TV.

What I might ask is if you are planning on getting a Switch 2 next year. If so, we can reasonably assume the form factor will be about the same and you’ll get the TV access. Everything we’ve heard so far says Switch games will work with the Switch 2. So in the short term you may not be able to play with friends locally on the same screen, within the year we’ll have a new system and in the meantime get some good experience with the game with what you have now.

I do still play online, and there’s still a community there, so at least you’ll be able to play with other people that way.

“Death panels!” the conservatives shouted. “The government will have death panels!”

The rubes ate it up, not realizing they had death panels the entire time and paid more for them.

I have the 1TB version of this internal SSD. It’s “officially licensed” — for whatever that’s worth — so I knew it’d work.

And I’ve had zero issues.

And Sony has an official video for how to install the SSDs

They were probably like, “Finally, I can go to a company that doesn’t force me to use a Dell.”

Does anyone know if the coop can be played “locally” from switch to switch or is it only online?

I have a flight coming up with some friends, and it’d sure be cool to just play this on the plane with them.

That’s certainly a possibility. I just have this feeling that Nintendo doesn’t have any other games than what they showed us in this direct to fill up a whole extra year. Of course, that’s just a feeling.

And I feel like they may follow the Switch playbook where they show off the console in December - probably during the game awards or (ugh) on Jimmy Fallon like they did last time. Then launch in four to six months with Metroid.

If you look to the left of the screen it does look like there are 4 shortcut slots, one in this video taken up by the wand. My hope is that she gets some other items to use along with the wand. Zelda has always had bows, for example, so that’d fit right in.

I had a very similar thought myself.

They said the next big Zelda was going to be different than TotK/BotW style, so after getting some baseline skills/items/ideas that Zelda uses in this game, they could leverage that for the next big game where you can swap between the two.

It’d just be cool to play as Zelda in 3D.

Wait, you mean the girl with the wand is not Link?

The Legend of Link

By saying just “2025” this solidifies in my mind that this will be the cross gen game that launches with the Switch 2 around April or May or whatever.

GG Celtics. Until next year, friends!

I guess I’m now going to try and find a WNBA community because that’s also been fun to watch!

I can’t tell if this dude is 23 years old or 53 years old.

I still have an iPhone 4 in a drawer and it’s totally flat on the back. Still looks really cool.

Apple: “Our new chips are more efficient so we can make devices thinner with a smaller battery and still get 10 hours of battery!”

Everyone: “Or just keep them the same and use a bigger battery to get, like 15-20 hours of battery?”

Apple: “NO.”

I’ve been really turned off by Luka’s whiny, pouty face after [literally any play], so I went with Boston. Incredible player who is no fun to watch. A bit like Harden in that way.

Also no flat earthers, please.

I’ve been rooting for the Celtics in the finals, so let’s go!

Wow, what a joke.
