So, #Nintendo #Switch2. I’m excited, despite all the leaks. Mario’s Dad subtly confirmed various aspects of the leaks, like mouse mode and a new Mario Kart game whilst keeping most of the details for later reveals. For deeper analysis, check out Nintendo Forecast’s video. #videogames www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism (2003). It could just be my imagination, but DCFC just keeps getting better with every new album, but their fourth outing where they broke into the mainstream was already amazing. #music www.youtube.com/watch

I thought we’d exhausted all of the “platforms” #Doom could run on, even the truly bizarre ones, like a pregnancy test, the MacBook Pro Touchbar, or an ATM. Guess not, since someone has now made the iconic first-person shooter run in… of all things… a #PDF. #tech #videogames #retrogaming arstechnica.com/gaming/20…

This is just silly, #Gizmodo. Despite the leaks, we know almost nothing about #Nintendo’s #Switch2. Everything we think we know is speculation. The only thing we seem to know is what it looks like. Even reliable leakers are fallible. #tech #videogames gizmodo.com/walmart-t…

Boy, oh boy. #Microsoft is on a roll. In another desperate effort to force people to move to the generally despised #Windows10 they have announced they are cutting off support for #Office365 on October 14th, what I’m not going to call The Day Windows Died. #tech www.theverge.com/2025/1/15…

I was once hyped on #Microsoft. #Windows 7 and 10 were great, they had new ideas like the Surface Duo and a renewed focus on gaming. That Microsoft’s now gone and they’re now on the #AI hype train. Ugh. Come SteamOS, I’m finally done. For good. #tech arstechnica.com/gadgets/2…

I’ve been a big fan of #Marvel’s #Daredevil for a long, long time, and the only live action version that was ever good was #Netflix’s which ran three seasons starting in 2015, but it was cancelled. Now #Disney+ is bringing it back with Daredevil: Born Again in March and it looks really good. #TV www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense (Special New Version)(1984). The original audio version of this concert film, considered by many to be the finest ever made, was hampered by the media of the day. This new version is complete and sounds sharp and clean. #music www.youtube.com/watch

In a move designed to protect #Mastodon, founder Eugen Rochko is ceding control to be wholly owned by a non-profit organization to establish that “…the intent that Mastodon should not be owned or controlled by a single individual.” #tech #capitalism arstechnica.com/tech-poli…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Oingo Boingo - Boingo (1994). Their eighth and final studio #album, #Boingo dropped the horns and keyboards and dove into a deeper, darker, more cinematic, #progressive #rock sound. #music www.youtube.com/watch

Adam Something put out a great new video this morning about how #ElonMusk won the election and reminds us what is at stake, most of which doesn’t concern the bulk of humanity, but is super important to Musk’s bank account size and level of control. #uspol #capitalism www.youtube.com/watch

HA! #CartoonNetwork’s #AdventureTime. I didn’t watch nearly enough, but our daughter loved the series and there were also #comics, but it ended back in 2018. The good news? It’s coming back and will start dropping new issues in April of this year. www.animationmagazine.net/2025/01/o…

Ugh. More #Microsoft bullshit to deal with. This is a few days old as I’m catching up on my news feeds but is important to know if you’re one of the unlucky ones using #MicrosoftEdge on #Windows 10 or 11 (or just 11 in general). Switch to #Linux or #Apple already! mjtsai.com/blog/2025…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Queensrÿche - Operation: Mindcrime (Deluxe Edition)(1988). I had this great #HeavyMetal concept album on heavy rotation, and I wasn’t much into “hair metal”. The theme remains relevant today, as well. #music youtu.be/oLi46MAgx…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Joe Jackson - Night and Day Deluxe Edition (1982). Got this when I was 14 and played it for weeks. Such an amazing piece of #ProgressivePop. A true masterwork of musical genius. #music #pop youtu.be/BT5a4Uf4G…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Thomas Dolby - Retrospectacle (1994). One of the few “Best of” albums I actually listen to. It’s not only a fantastic listen, but a meaty sampler of a good chunk of his body of work. #music youtu.be/6gQFbiItw…

All this hand-wringing over the #Nintendo #Switch2 leaks is needlessly shrill, and now #Kotaku’s John Walker is suggesting Mario’s Dad won’t have anything new to add when it does announce the new console? How silly. Aside from the look, everything else is speculation. #videogames kotaku.com/switch-2-…

What a lovely story! She saw the #Mazda RX-7 FD 25 years ago on the #anime street racing series “Initial D” and was smitten, so she bought one. You’ll need to read for the rest, and it will make you smile. #cars #feelgood www.autoblog.com/news/japa…
