I have no intention of returning to Twitter, but I do want to spend what little time I have between working and being a dad reminding everyone of the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops closing next week, and what you NEED before those triggers are pulled.

8. Games that received an update had that update distributed on 3DS eShop. That said, some games NEED that update. eg, Pokémon X and Y have a glitch that brick your save. Better to download the updates just in case you ever choose to buy them physically later.

There's a ton more, but I'm a parent, so I'm gonna go back to that, enjoy Monday everyone.

[Jason Steele Voice 1]: Oh hey obscure aquatic sea animal what's up? [Jason Steele Voice 2]: Sigh, not good, Rupert. My wife left me or something. [Jason Steele Voice 1]: Oh man, that's one of my least favorite things to happen. Maybe I can cheer you up by bursting into song.

My wife just messaged me a link to a Craigslist Ad for a Violin and asked "Do you think I should" so that's how my day's going.

This was a joke, but it looks like Pokémon is legit making apps to help with stuff like dental care and ish, so this would actually be really on-brand and would probably unironically save the world.
Pokémon is gamifying sleep. They should work on Climate Change and Hydration next.

I am so exhausted from games discourse. I'm not even gonna sugar coat it, I freaking hate what this subculture has turned into. It's one of the biggest reasons I've been so disillusioned from content creation as of late.

To be clear, this isn't to say everyone participating in the discussion is bad or that game design videos are no good. Tons of y'all are still doing a great job out there at continuing where I feel like I can't continue, especially those that are still doing videos.

But so much of it--especially the tweets--taste the exact same every time and it's just... grating, to put it lightly. But it just seems ironic in the context of games, which generally become less engaging once you've grokked all the patterns, just like this discourse.
