8-12 workdays for shipping is a bit unfortunate however...

Willem Hilhorst @whilhorst.bsky.social · 21h

This is a very good sign. It's unavailable to ship outside of Germany, but shipping prices are fair enough within Germany. Also I'm surprised by the offerings, including the Pokéween collection, Clothes and plushies!

The full video is on the Nintendo Today app. I think it'll be uploaded soon. But VGC did this short write-up.

And Roger..., Blippo+, The Knightling, Time Flies, Promise Mascot Agency and Wilmont Works it Out were all amazing. And Skin Deep also deserves a ton more attention!

Hey game devs. I'm not a lawyer, but René is. And a damned good one. Here's a free, no stipulations, sign-ups or other stuff required, resource on ANYTHING you'd want to know when signing a deal with a publisher.

Ok fine. One more horror theory. This is made with an in-house A•I developed by Nintendo. They have a long running partnership with Nvidea, could be shown to stockholders but doesn't need production credits when posted and keeps that stuff clear from their game productions as it is only for film.

Possible explanations
#1 Nintendo Switch Online gets movies
#2 Doug Bowser has been turned INTO A BABY?!?!
#3 In this game you play as a Chozo who kidnaps Samus as an infant
#4 This is the kid of the dad who DIED in a horrific Excitebike crash

Love starting my day with a buff wolf explaining to me how to avoid Windows 11 for another three years

Socks the Macro Wolf Dad @socksthewolf.com · 6d

Windows 10 End of Life is in less than 2 weeks!
But you don't have to upgrade to Windows 11!!

This video will show you how to extend the life of Windows 10 by 3 more years via Extended Security Updates program safely, for free.

MS throws you to the wolves, but the wolves will throw you a bone.

YO! This is one of the most ambitious GBA games back in the day and has slowly been super hard to find. I loved its isometric approach to Metroid!

Je raadt het nooit, maar Super Mario Galaxy? Goed spel. Super Mario Galaxy 2? Nog altijd mijn favoriet van de twee.
