Ok, you've had your fun, bring the price of SSDs back down to sane levels again.

I'd very much enjoy a Switch 2 port.

Good Sonic game.

Good, not great.

From my limited understanding, it should just work as a Bluetooth controller like any other.

I'm not sure if I want to know why 'your friend' wants to do it, but more power to y̶o̶u̶ them.

Sadly the info online suggests it's just an event for the 'new' drivers already released. Bit misleading of them I think 🤷

Project Hail Mary is a bloody good time (book).

I'm certain more than I'd like of that is the game being left on pause whilst I reconsider life choices. My save file finished at about 68 hours.

I have played games

I can only assume the recently awful processing times on YouTube are due to compute power being redirected to all the AI bollocks they keep trying to shove in our faces.

My stance is biased, and the evidence negligible, but here we are.

The bold colours and (to me) unreadable script honestly made me think there was a new Splatfest for about half a second.
Still not clear on why there are 3 different cover colors though...

It's with a VERY heavy heart that I wave goodbye to Felix as a colleague, but a tremendously full one that I see him move onto newer pastures that excite him so.

Felix has been a rock for me, and the channel won't be the same, but I wouldn't trade the time we worked together for anything ❤️
Hey hey everyone, I have some sad news to share...

From 2026, I’ll not be Felix from Nintendo Life anymore. Don’t worry, this has been 100% my own decision. I have nothing but love for my coworkers and directors ❤

These almost 4 years have been incredible, I’m gonna miss this truly.

I have worked out why turkey is used as a pork substitute.

It is because the legs literally taste of pork.

Thank you Eric! And happy holidays to you as well!

Any time* you fancy a bust-up on Skyah, give me a buzz.

I don't believe in coincidences.

@antdude.bsky.social pushing Rick on the Battle Chariot is absolute proof that he's been stealing my personal choices and passing them off as his own.

Truly one of the voice acted roles I experienced this year.

Predictably, Nintendo's success with the format has meant that a 'direct' is starting to become a noun in its own right.

Tomb Raider DE may indeed have been released this year, but the base game is two generations older than Star Wars Outlaws.

The most disappointing part is that SWO is available and does run on the Steam Deck, albeit poorly.

It's hardly surprising that the S2 lost out running a game a decade newer.

Quite disappointed in Tom's Hardware for publishing this article comparing the Switch 2 and Steam Deck OLED.

For the battery life test, they pitted the S2 running Star Wars Outlaws against the SD OLED running Tomb Raider Definitive Edition.
