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…
Nintendo Music! This is actually an incredible addition to the Switch Online subscription. It has Donkey Kong Country 😍. youtube.com/watch?v=0O_-hKC0…

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

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…
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…

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…
Finally I can reap the benefits of years spent doing … whatever this is. #NintendoWorldChampionshipsNES
I talked to Minecraft lead developer Jens Bergensten about the phenomenon that has (unexpectedly) last 15 years. theage.com.au/technology/vid…
