From the author: My next book is The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation: it’s a Big Tech disassembly manual that explains how to disenshittify the web and bring back the old good internet. The hardcover comes from Verso on Sept 5, but the audiobook comes from me – because Amazon refuses to sell my audio.
“the unannounced Switch successor console has an 8-inch LCD screen and launches later in 2024. For context, the standard Switch has a 6.2-inch screen on the diagonal, and the OLED has a 7-inch screen.”
On August 17, the beloved Western experience Red Dead Redemption and its horror companion Undead Nightmare arrive together for the first time on the Nintendo Switch and modern PlayStation systems.
I think I’m going to check out more of River City Girls 2 which I restarted last weekend. It got an update which makes it way more playable, I hadn’t played for months, but the input lag was excruciating before. Maybe some Mario Wonder which I haven’t played in a while (and still need to finish!)....
I’m checking out the demo for Contra: Operation Galuga, and maybe going to play some more Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons to unlock some characters. Potentially other beat 'em ups and Mortal Kombat if I get the chance to get together and play some co-op....
Video just uploaded by Nintendo explaining the Switch and what you can do with it. I guess it’s aimed at Christmas shoppers who haven’t made up their minds yet or something? Still, I found it sort of confusing. It’ll be 7 years old soon, why this video now 🤔
