I tried to soft quit this wretched app while still leaving room for people to contact me, by turning off all notifications except DMs. But now I’m getting this garbage constantly. So please email me or find me on B-Sky :)

Officially on sale in Australia from tomorrow, the Steam Deck remains a revolutionary bridge between PC games and console-like playability, and it may be the greatest handheld ever made that doesn't say "Nintendo" on it. My review: theage.com.au/technology/vid…

As a 60fps devotee who often settles for 30 to avoid blurry pictures and weird artefacts (FF7, Alan Wake 2), the PS5 Pro absolutely delivers. The extra grunt and extraordinary upscaling made for incredible 60fps modes in every Pro-enabled game I tested. theage.com.au/technology/vid…

Not me setting up a clean hour-long loop of the Wii Shop theme to get me through the grind.

It even has screenshots to remind of where the music kicked in. Seeya YouTube.

Nintendo Music! This is actually an incredible addition to the Switch Online subscription. It has Donkey Kong Country 😍. youtube.com/watch?v=0O_-hK…

Finally got my @evercaderetro VS-R. First order of business? Messing around with @retrotink2 4K CRT filters.

It's new PAB day! This week we're covering: 🎮PAX AUS kickoff 🏳️‍🌈PAX Together is bigger than ever 🪐Halo making promises again 🪀Alarmo and Nintendo's weird toy history And more! Read about it here: pressanybutton.substack.com/p/happy-pax-au…

If you enjoy having annoyed cyclists passing you constantly, I can recommend commuting on an e-scooter (which are limited to 20km/h in Victoria).

@BibbyBhoy Thanks Chris! It was surreal.

@TimBiggs This is a fabulous read, Tim. Not at all jealous, nuh-uh!

I was honoured to preview the Nintendo Museum in Kyoto Japan last week, and it’s both not what you’d expect from a museum and exactly what you’d expect from Nintendo. theage.com.au/technology/vid…

@RhunWords I was considering buying another suitcase and filling it with Virtual Boy gear.

Also I didn’t go too wild at the Museum store but I did get this beautiful gold detailed Hanafuda set.

ICYMI from the weekend. Despite all the arguments that “Sony should have done X instead of making a $1200 console”, the PS5 Pro is going to do fine. My analysis: theage.com.au/technology/vid…

I do the NYT mini crossword every day, but I don’t think I’m ever beating this time.

@Serrels An inferior clone of the much tastier Splice. I haven't eaten either in 20 years but I'm sticking to this take.

Splits ice creams have to be one of the greatest things Australia has ever produced

As a big Star Wars fan I've really enjoyed skulking around and drinking in the atmosphere in Star Wars Outlaws, but the game also has some issues that are hard to ignore. My review: theage.com.au/technology/vid…

"A history of women playing sports is also a history of successful female athletes being subject to questions about their sex" theage.com.au/national/not-s…

Lazy Saturday dialing in settings on my new @retrotink2 and introducing the kids to some Mega CD classics in 4K.

With the Steam Deck still a no-show at Aussie retail, the ROG Ally X is easily the best portable gaming PC you’ll find officially. My review: theage.com.au/technology/vid…
