Pokémon Tamagotchi, pretty much. I’m obsessed with getting one. They just released in Japan on Friday last week.

Spent all night looking for my parents’ 15 year old dog who is blind & deaf. Took off work to find her. Glad I did.

Found her alive this morning in a creek bed, cold and scared to death. But she’s ok.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to spend the rest of the day crying and berating my father.

Each GameStop in the US was given 50 codes for shiny Koraidon and Miraidon.

2,325 GS locations in the US.

116,250 codes available nationwide.

SV has sold 27 million globally.

Assuming 1/3 of that is US sales, this means ONLY 1.29% OF SV PLAYERS HAD ACCESS TO THESE CODES BEFORE SCALPERS.

I will never understand why Gamestop in the US gets a set amount of code cards for these events causing stock issues and reselling.

In the UK and parts of Europe, for these events, the cash registers just print them out from their servers so they don't run out. It's much better.

I’m an adult. I’m fine with video games being $80 - that’s nothing new. Saw it tons in the 90s. Studios and devs have costs, and their product should receive an appropriate ROI. I just expect a decent amount of content at that price point.

It’s a $20 difference. Grow up nerds. Quality costs money.

That looks like one of two things to me, and neither one is pleasant. Hope you get it resolved with minimal pain!

ABC should just withhold NFL games from Sinclair and Nexstar until they come to their senses.

Yawn. Move on, NPR. Pandering won’t get your funding back.

Release the Epstein Files.

It’s so funny how holy everyone is over a grifting nazi who wasn’t even the least bit Christian, over him giving his full-throated support to the second amendment. Please, fuck off.

I’ve played the trilogy… when it released. I don’t remember anything. Got the Switch remaster to finish before it drops, and hope that fills in some gaps, but the second and third are pretty inaccessible to me atm. Hope Nintendo does something to fix that.

You could report on who Charlie Kirk was and what he stood for, NPR. Or you could continue to pander to both sides and whitewash his past.

Call a fascist out when you see it, or you’re just part of the slow death of journalism in America.

Well you gotta hand it to Kirk, he died like he lived: in full-throated support of the second amendment.

I’ve never understood why the death of a fascist is a bad thing. One less dev I have to support though.

Tyke 🛹🐾🏳️‍🌈 @skatepuptyke.bsky.social · 25d

One less game I have to spend money on. Oh well. Align yourselves with fascists, win stupid prizes.
