Wait, it's not?
Until very recently I thought this was a screenshot of The Sopranos.

I wonder if qud releases in 10 minutes or sometime tomorrow. I appreciate the countdown a lot of platforms have, curious why Nintendo doesn't.

Really hoping qud on switch 2 just works and can dig in tomorrow. Knowing it wasn't tested on that platform is a bummer though.
Nintendo needs to sort out dev kits. I do not understand how they managed to slow roll the launch so hard and still not deliver kits.

I used to have an animation teacher who would walk around the class randomly yelling "make sure you save" or "when did you last save?".
Has stuck with me ever since.

Sure is fun watching companies that exclusively produce things people despise gobble up all the components needed to build a computer.
Western Digital and Micron deserve whatever comes when the AI bubble pops.

Western Digital has recently announced that it sold all of the year's hard-drive inventory to AI companies.
In other words, prepare for huge SSD price surges.

Am so tired of basically all modern hardware of any kind being cheap garbage no matter how much you spend.

Maybe it would have been beneficial to allow ByteDance to do business outside of China where copyright protections could be enforced, instead of forcing them to sell off TikTok to… (checks notes) the owner of Paramount.

I really wish qud had a review run or something.
I'm rather worried that the lack of testing on switch 2 means it's going to have issues at launch.

Not really sure how to feel about new dlc for Diablo 2. I hope its good, but changing such an old title is risky.
Will be kinda funny if they need to eventually make Diablo 2 remastered classic edition.

At the very least, the ways the system breaks down when scaled too far are likely to be magical and hilarious.

Crossed 1600 puzzle rating and 1200 daily rating recently. While not super high, a year ago I was sitting around 600.
Now I just need to get more confident playing shorter time controls.
