I heard about some research a few weeks ago where they captured hundreds of hours of conversation between students (all GDPR compliant I presume) and one of the takeaways was that the classic joke is going extinct.  In all that captured data, only 3 jokes were told.  The assumption was that jokes just take too long and require too much effort both from who is telling it and who is the audience to gain traction in this modern day where the attention span is indeed not much longer than 5 seconds.

In my conversations with people under the age of twenty-five, this does not track at all. One third of the conversation is ironic language that turns even serious things into jokes, one third is traditional jokes, and one third is normal English of a very low standard that is completely serious and feels utterly out of place in a conversation that otherwise consists of ironic gibberish or jokes.

Then again, they have also usually been teenagers or if not then shit-faced on one or multiple legal and/or illicit substances.

Nothing sus.

[The good news is that it appears Nintendo will continue to make changes to the handheld. MattAgain has shared noteworthy information about Switch 2 capabilities in the past. His latest update gives fans hope that the console's memory allocation won't restrict gaming performance. According to the developer, Nintendo aims to reduce the memory used by the console's system from 3GB to 2GB. Additionally, while the OS currently utilizes 2 out of 8 CPU cores, this could fall to one core in the future.]

Nintendo may tweak Switch 2 specs to free up more resources

Marvelous CEO says they put a $10 premium on their Switch 2 games to ship them physically loaded onto the cartridge.

I think most people would be willing to pay $10 more for a proper physical cart?

What say you?

So about a week to go till switch 2, this launch feels weird. I think it's mostly cause of the one launch game... not exactly something to get that excited over at least for me. Everything else is ports I don't want so it's a one game system, oh and deltarune which I'll get on switch 2 just so I have it portable. Still new systems are exciting, I am starting to wonder what do I do with my switch, it's pretty much redundant after I get the 2.

i finished Doom this past weekend... kind of disappointing.

From what I've seen, it looks good in small short clips. If you put things on a bigger screen or let it go for more than about 5 or 10 seconds, things start to break down. But in these days where everyone is getting their information on a small screen and rarely makes it past a headline, 5 seconds is all you need to fuck something up badly.


So yeah, I'm not a fan. No good will come of this.

This is probably going to be the worst part of the future. Yeah climate change going to be horrible but imagine not even knowing if it's real or not, if lies get so prevalent that humanity just quits caring. Governments can weapons this, rich people can, corporations can, scary stuff. Have you seen how a ton of ads on YouTube are complete AI bullshit. It's always some people claiming to run some company for 30 years but they are going out of business with a big sale. Shows clips of people working, using products, all fake. It's all garbage you end up ordering. It's wild.

We don't need AI for that, we're already there.  I know multiple people close to me who just gave up on following the news because it's just too much.  There's this radio show that has a segment in which they ask the public to come up with new words and one week the question was: news that you don't want to follow anymore.  Says enough doesn't it?  Also: the word that made it was 'ews' which I found to be both clever and hilarious.

Ews is correct. I've never seen so much "ews" as we have today. Most of it's BS.

Video game news alone is fatiguing to me these days.

I'm considering taking the summer off the internet, avoid all news as much as possible, just to see what would happen to my mental health.

What did you guys use to carry your Switch about if at all?

OIP.1gMv34bJo-0k8XM_-SdkmwHaHa?dpr=2.6&pid=ImgDetMain&PC=EMMX01


I used something like this to carry it up and down the stairs and sometimes chucked it into a larger bag to take out the house. I can count on one hand the number of times I actually played it outside and I'm looking to change that with Switch 2.

R.c310c1b69121ef1e0a50b00e6dc75960?rik=wPZ5ySDnCQwapg&pid=ImgRaw&r=0&PC=EMMX01

So I've gone for a hard shell sling bag to use as a case instead. Something like above^

I didn't want something that looked like a game console case. The one I ordered has a built in padlock code unlock mechanism.

And it has a USB interior to exterior connection so you can have a battery in the bag and simply connect a USB cable to the side of the bag to charge your device.

The sling strap alone is going to make life easier. I'm always walking up at night holding various things and wondering if I'm going to drop something.

I never got any kind of carrying case for my Switch since I never took it anywhere. 99% of the time it sat in the dock as I played it on my TV. The few times I took it out was just to play it on my couch.

One thing I found with the OLED, because it's a better quality device with a better screen, speakers, build quality etc, I played it far more in portable.

I'm listening to the first Episode of the Game Under podcast. No Wii U discussion? Sad I'd forgotten about The Press Room Podcast.

I almost got sidetracked into listening to "Ep. 014 Why Not 17 Vaginas?" instead, but I'm not falling for such obvious click bait. Nyaa
