I swear it's Pokémon. Even back on Switch, Pokémon Violet absolutely murdered my battery in handheld. Fortnite never did! And that's the one I expected to be harder on the system. I've not yet tested Violet with the Switch 2 upgrades.

i love @zackzwiezen.com reporting. this reminds me of something @matpiscatella.bsky.social told me once about how there's still like single digit numbers of copies of games like Chrono Cross or w/e sold regularly because some retailer finds them in a back room somewhere.

Great essay that explains with copious illustrations the question of why Mario dies like that

Drew Mackie @drewgmackie.bsky.social · 2d

I made 27 gifs (from scratch!) of video game characters dying like Mario does to discuss the origin of this peculiar bit of pixel animation. Enjoy!

The Origin of Mario’s Trademark Death Animation — Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games

Super Mario Bros. taught side-scrolling heroes how to kick the bucket… even if Mario stole those moves.

CSIS is surprised new warrantless access to personal information from any provider of a service in Canada - everything from telcos to car rental companies - led to some pushback?! This lawful access plan needs much more than more than just more “precision”.

CSIS says new warrantless powers need more 'precision,' 'surprised' by border bill pushback

If C-2 passes intact, law enforcement would be able to compel any service provider to say if they’ve served an individual.

I have vague memories of my Grandfather's joy during '93 and treasure them. There was never a bigger fan of any Toronto team than him and, despite how deeply he lived and died with the Leafs, he loved the Jays above all 💙 #Jays #BlueJays

Catelli @catelli.bsky.social · 1d

Holy Christ.

I remember how good 92, 93 felt. Those years I had no doubt.

This year... Oh boy did I have doubts.

And they pulled it off despite it all. AL fucking Champions.

It's actually really fucked to sell a pet feeder that doesn't even have the schedule stored on the device.

Oh so they nuke Virginia and thousands of animals around the world just starve? That was your plan here?
