Well it was a recommendation…

This isn’t new, people have been taking shite advice since the world began.

Let it be known that @jordanmiddler.bsky.social made me buy a PS5 Professional.

In case you missed it, this week I published my extended interviews with two of Saros' most senior figures.

Firstly, the game's director, Gregory Louden, and I nerded out about the game's first three hours, and much more.

“You people”

Wow.

It’s an absolute leap to make this assumption.

Really? Obnoxious? You honestly live such a sheltered life that you can’t understand that some people may not know these things, not out of stupidity, which you clearly are assuming is the reason why.

Yes, there are nurses known as midwives who do this… their job isn’t to just deliver a baby.

I pray for your level of privilege, not everyone is in the position to be as knowledgeable as you on the subject.

I completely agree, but that’s not the point you originally made.

It is the governments responsibility to advise their people.

This is what they have done given the research and understanding of the impacts of screen time.

Whether people should know this already is a very different topic

Offering advice and direction based on scientific study is part of the government’s job.

Ah, so like myself, we are an incredibly niche audience.

There’s been a steady flow of games that will appease the masses and that’s who needs to be looked to from a business sense.

A system seller like BotW or Odyssey will come, some would even say it’s now Pokopia…

My friend, it’s been out less than a year, there is no mess.

There’s plenty of games to be playing in my view.

The 3D Mario’s and Zelda’s will come.

It’s not that it’s fake, it just that Nintendo haven’t address it as far as I’m aware.

Given it’s Bloomberg reporting it’s unlikely to be incorrect but the reason is more likely to be due to the RAM shortage than anything else.

I’m doing a thing in May

Buy a ticket if you’re local!

The internet making us all believe editorial should be free is one of the biggest issues we face today.

Podcast: ‘What a disaster IGN’s acquisition has been.’

Many people have asked: What's the best way to support authors? I have been told: leave reviews on Amazon/Audible/etc because that helps with visibility, and buy from actual bookshops (or bookshop.org) if you can 🙏

Here's Super Nintendo in Waterstones! (thanks @vivalahazy.bsky.social for the pic)

I did really enjoy the display they have set up for it too.

Trust me to get a copy of @mackeza.bsky.social’s new book and it ends up that it has graffiti inside it… only in Glasgow…

The choices of a lonely millennial woman.

Right, as promised, here's 30 personal recommendations from yer man Scullion for the current Black Friday sale on the UK Nintendo eShop.

To stress: this is the UK sale. Some of these will be in the US too, but not all are.

It's also far from an exhaustive list!

Ball x Pit, you are lovely.

Enjoy! Lots over overlap from here on out.

The podcast was absolutely hijacked this week. Somehow it became The Mario Movie vs Gigli vs Schindler's List.

When will Table Tennis get its remaster…

I’m sure news that Nintendo themselves are using GKC will go down well on with certain folk.

Sometimes I fire this up just specially to hear this on game.

I’m a QA manager, I’m very keen to understand what is actually going to happen here because for QA you will always need a human level somewhere unless you’re willing to accept a high level of risk.
