I've caught basically every legendary Pokémon (except Arceus) available in the games on the Switch. I am *tired*.
I kept thinking back to this while watching the Direct yesterday.

Serious question: what other company does regressive hardware releases like Nintendo does? Thinking OLED → LCD in the Switch 2. It's kind of ridiculous.
I started reading The Long Summer of August 31, Vol. 1.

Nintendo unveils Switch 2 ahead of June 5 launch ↗
“A new C button on the right Joy-Con of the Switch 2 will let you pull up a chat menu to manage a new "GameChat" feature that allows you to "communicate with friends and family while playing a game." A built-in microphone at the top of the system will "pick up your speaking voice clearly, even at a distance" Nintendo said, even amid background noise.”
Only Nintendo could pull this shit off.

The Duskbloods looks great.
Already seeing publications mixing up availability of games for Switch, Switch 2, and other consoles. I don't get why Sony is able to so clearly establish new generations of consoles while Nintendo seems to struggle, thinking Wii and Wii U.
Leave it to Nintendo to announce "new" features that every other console, PC, and smartphone has had for a decade. 😂
My desk has an ethernet port. 🫠
There’s a certain irony to being so tired after putting together a standing desk that all you want to do is sit down.
The internet used to be fun.

Baseball Reaches Its Breaking Point ↗
“An elbow-injury epidemic has become an existential threat to the sport, prompting the M.L.B. to brainstorm new solutions, such as the use of a heavier ball.”

Support Trans Equality ↗
“It may not always be easy to know how to best show up as an ally, and you may often wonder if or wish that there was more you could do. Being open to learning and having a desire to create change are two of the most important components of your allyship.”
I finished reading I Can't Say No to the Lonely Girl, Vol. 6.

Discord is planning an IPO this year, and big changes could be on the horizon ↗
“IPO will mean more revenue pressure and possibly more ads.”
Against all odds, Discord's about to get even shittier.
Fuck all that knockoff Ghibli AI slop.
I finished reading Monthly in the Garden with My Landlord, Vol. 4.
I added The Rise & The Fall by The Rural Alberta Advantage to my music collection.

BASEBALL.
I haven't played Genshin in forever but Varesa looks SO FUN.
Pixelfed leaks private posts from other Fediverse instances ↗
“When following someone on a different server on the Fediverse, the remote server decides whether you are allowed to do so. This enables features like private accounts. Due to an implementation mistake, Pixelfed ignores this and allows anyone to follow even private accounts on other servers.”
"Landlord" is not a job.
Yeah, I'm going to spend the next two weeks catching a bunch of Pokémon for my kid, what of it?
I started reading Monthly in the Garden with My Landlord, Vol. 4.

I Can’t Handle Prestige TV ↗
“But mostly, video games occupy the space in my life that a lot of people reserve for TV. Of the hundreds of games I’ve played and finished, many have moved me, but I’ve only found one or two genuinely upsetting. They seem to be a better fit for my psyche: I feel more relaxed playing a game than I do watching a show.”
I feel this in my bones.
I started reading The Summer Hikaru Died, Vol. 5.
I want to read I Got Married to the Girl I Hate Most in Class, Vol. 2.
The more people talk about a show and how good they think it is, the less I want to watch it.
I finished reading The Dangers in My Heart, Vol. 1.
Any chance Nintendo can get their shit together and do *literally anything* to cut down on scalpers before cranking out yet another set nobody can find?

Elon Musk Begs Tesla Staff Not to Sell Their Stocks ↗
“Earlier this week, four top senior executives at Tesla dumped their stocks amidst an ongoing freefall caused by poor quarterly sales, tons of recalls, and global protests against CEO Elon Musk. Now, after the loss of some of his highest-moneyed investors, Musk is pleading with Tesla employees not to do the same.”
Desperate and pathetic.
