Nintendo has a plan to challenge Switch 2 scalpers. It's limiting its own preorders to Switch 1 owners that have an active Switch Online membership and have "spent a certain amount of time playing purchased / paid Nintendo Switch games, prioritizing those with more playtime."

Been backing up stuff to iCloud recently, and just spent a good while trying to understand why 'IMG_1488.HEIC' wouldn't upload... and then I realised. I kind of get it, but it seems kind of silly to ban a *filename* using that number. Anyway the image itself is great - will rename to catspider.HEIC.

Sad to hear about the passing of Bubsy. I didn’t always love his work, but it’s difficult to deny his commitment to his craft. He will be missed, RIP.
