I'm a Nintendo and indie games lover on the autism spectrum. I'm never gonna stop playing, and you're never gonna make me.

Alright, Mario vs. DK. I think you're fun. You're a solid, cute little puzzle experience that I'm glad I get to play on the Switch since I missed out on the original GBA release.

SLIPPERY SUMMIT CAN KISS MY ENTIRE ASS. With how Mario controls, WHAT made you think ICE PHYSICS were a good idea?! And this is a NEW ADDITION to the Switch version?! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?! 🤬

Alright, I'm enjoying Banjo-Kazooie so far... but WHY do I need to recollect a level's musical notes every time I reset or lose a life?! So much frustration would be mitigated if the game would just let me keep the notes like with the Jiggies. Damn you, '90s game design! 😫

PSA: Google has now begun to roll-out the Ad Topics "feature" onto Android itself. It's not just in Chrome you have to disable the settings. Please #Boost to spread awareness.

If you didn't get the pop-up screen on your Android device (it looks like the first two screenshots), to opt-out of these settings:

  • Go to your device Settings
  • Press "Google"
  • Press "Ads"
    • While you're here, press the "Delete Advertising ID" button and delete it
  • Press "Ad Privacy"
  • Review: "Ad Topics", "App-suggested ads", and "App Measurement". Make sure all are labelled as "OFF". (This page will look like the third screenshot)
  • If you don't see "Ad Privacy" in Step 4 then it means that it hasn't been rolled out to you yet. You might need to wait and check back in a couple of days to see if/when it has been implemented to disable these settings.

    EDIT: There's another setting to review. In step 2, scroll to "Personalize using shared data". Turn everything off.

    @CM30 Here's a little trick to help get around this: If you save a coin in your inventory and get to the next item set, a single item box will ALWAYS* give you a different and actually defensive item. Of course, you'll still have to pray that you won't get bodied at the start of the race, but afterwards, if you remain in 1st, you'll always have at least one line of defense using this strategy.

    *The only time you WILL get double coins in your inventory is if the online connection is spotty.

    Just a little work in progress track loop. I've been making a lot of loops lately.

    @CM30 I still recall the moment I screamed when the Smash logo appeared in the Inkling's eye. Good times. 😄

    For this #ThrowbackThursday, let’s go back to 2018 when this trailer aired:

    What a great bait and switch! We thought it was a new #Splatoon game or DLC, but it turned out to be a reveal that #SuperSmashBros was coming to #NintendoSwitch

    Super Smash Bros. is coming to Nintendo Switch!
