Saw Looper today for the first time since release and it still rocks

A screenshot from Looper. We’re looking up at Joseph Gordon-Levitt firing a gun off screen right. His character is starting to bald at the temples. The actor is wearing a prosthetic nose.

A new system update is available -> A new controller update is available -> A new software update is

Bugs Bunny sits at a table wearing a suit and bow tie. A bottle of carrot juice is to his left. He’s clutching a full glass with bags under his eyes, whiskers are skew. He might be drunk, he’s definitely exhausted.

I’d be very curious to see how Nintendo Switch 2 joy-cons are selling bc almost everyone seems disappointed with colorway treatment. Still assume it’s a manufacturing/differentiation thing but even having the face buttons be the pop of color instead of/in addition to the rail might do it for me atp.

Joy-Con 2 controllers. The beautiful lilac and turquoise colors are limited to the ring under the analog stick and the rail—both of which are mostly hidden.

Joy-Con 2s with light blue and pale yellow accents. You mostly cannot see either color when attached to the console.

I’m noping out on the Cyberstation Zone boss, which takes Game Gear Sonic 2’s Under Ground Zone boss and combines it with the Stardust Speedway Metal Sonic fight. The slow acceleration and momentum-killing landings don’t feel great. And neither does this.

Picked up Sonic Superstars for the first time in a while and I’m calling it quits. I want to like it but there’s some kinda weird choices and inconsistencies here. Like?? 😭

🎶I’d like to remind: Cousin Shirley’s birthday’s Tuesday And your Uncle Rob’s is Thursday (yeah)🎶

The lead singer of the band Sugar Ray—presumably the titular Ray—does a jaunty little kick in the music video for the song “I Just Want to Fly”.

The new joy-con colors are cute I just wish there was more of it. It’s like 2% of the controller when attached 😭

The new Light Purple & Green joy-cons. They’re closer to a lavender or lilac and mint. Most of the color is on the side rail, so when attached to the console you’ll only see a sliver of each color around the analog sticks.

The same controllers but on a wooden desk.

I’ve been wanting a côte&ciel bag for awhile now but they seem to have abandoned all of the interesting colorways. Look at the difference in 2 earlier colorways versus recent ones.

Cote et ciel’s Isar Rucksack in the out-of-print “khaki” colorway. The straps and struckles are black but there’s a bright orange accent strap at the bottom.

The Isar Rucksack in a bright orange-red canvas material. The zipper and buckle are silver and the inside of the bag are a mid grey.

A newer colorway. It’s a grainy, grey eco-yarn but there’s no pop of color like on the Kahki model.

The same bag in one of at least 3 black colorways. They mostly vary in material used and make up the bulk of the current catalog.

Apple’s Shared Album implementation is functionally useless. What’s the point of using this feature if someone else can delete the album owner’s original photos AND the people it’s shared with don’t get an exact duplicate of the original?

I find it fascinating that Polymega’s able to have a database of all the official artwork when Analogue wasn’t. Would love to know more about that. Also: I like the look of their physical release packaging, but wish it wasn’t locked down to proprietary hardware. Ditto backups but igi

Feels like a PM02 would be a good opportunity to examine the modules a bit. Maybe revisiting FPGA and using something more akin to the Analogue’s Pocket adapter system versus shipping with a dust cover.

A render of the Polymega Base Unit showing it’s detachable dust cover which covers about 1/3 of the console. It’s intended to be replaced with swappable expansion modules and then thrown out, I guess?

A render of the Adapter Set for Analogue Pocket handheld, which includes 3 cartridge adapters that add support for 5 systems. There is also a Game Gear adapter available and they all plug into a single cartridge slot on the device.

Okay yea I get it now. It looks neat in theory but has a long list of caveats at a high price point. Would love to see them/ayone take another shot tho. Maybe unbundle the controllers? It’s the opposite of what folks said for the 3D but it’d help with the price point and they seem to be iffy.

Is this just a relic of older plastics or are white Analogue products destined to look like this too?

A photo of a keyboard that is clearly supposed to be white or grey but which is very “interesting” shades of yellow instead.

Also played the Lelu demo this weekend. Really fun and engaging. Incredible aesthetic. I’m definitely looking forward to the full release next year. Feeling pretty inspired coming off both of these play throughs.

Some of the reviews for this kind of bum me out. Despite the Steam page detailing a “concise” game with “3 bosses” and an “hour-ish runtime” most of the negative reviews knock it for being… short. idgi

Played and beat Castaway yesterday. It’s a cute, bite-sized (it’s described as concise) Zelda-style game that has me wanting to finally play a top-down Zelda game. Furthest I’ve gotten in the post-credits “Survival Mode” is 44/50 rooms.

The hero art for Castaway. The main character, Martin, is blond-haired wearing a cyan shirt and green pants. He’s holding a sword. Behind him are dragons, snakes and, off in the distance, a small island surrounded by clouds. Space debris falls to the ocean below.

A screenshot of the beginning of Castaway. Martin is passed out on the beach, pieces of his broken escape pod lie beside him. Birds chirp nearby. A dock extends into the ocean.

I do wish there was a bit more to it (an Open FPGA chip and a disc drive would be 🔥 but also 💸) but honestly the Analogue 3D seems like a decent product. At $250 it’s not exactly affordable but it’s also not super pricey considering a used N64 might run ~$100. It’s also very pretty lol

i think a lot of this true but also

Everyone says this but my understanding is vaccination and testing numbers don’t support it. The easily observed reality of masking in, say, healthcare settings certainly doesn’t align with a commitment to public health.

Screenshot of a chart on the CDC website showing about 25% of adults “received vaccine” between Sept 14th and April 26th, 2025. About 55% said they will “probably or definitely will not get a vaccine”.

Screenshot of a chart from Pew Research Center in an article titled “60% of Americans say they probably won’t get an updated COVID-19 vaccine”. 61% cited “don’t think you need it” as a major reason.

Finished Eastward this weekend. What a weird little gem! Beautiful, aesthetic backgrounds, great character animation, full of quirk. Soundtrack’s full of bops.

Also the premise of taking this live-action family film about a hockey team and making into a sci-fi superhero series reminds me of those Garfield Pet Force books from around the same time.

The animated series version of The Mighty Ducks in action poses. There’s five anthropomorphized ducks in futuristic, coordinated suits. One to the left is holding a gun, one in the middle has a gold-plated hockey mask, and one to the right has a gold sword and an eye patch.

The cover of Garfield’s Pet Force: The Outrageous Origin. Garfield is hulked tf out like you wouldn’t believe. He’s wearing a purple-and-green superhero costume with a cape. There’s a paw print on his chest and his belt buckle forms a subtle “G”.
