Kirby Air Riders is officially OUT!

For those of you still deciding whether to get the game, I have a few pieces of information gleamed from setting it up.

The game card comes with Version 1.0.0 of the game and can run on Switch 2 systems with firmware Version 20.5.0 or later.

A software update is required for local communications and likely online play. If you're just planning on playing solo, this isn't much of a deal breaker.

If you do plan to download the Day One patch to enable online play, you must update your Switch 2 firmware to at least Version 21.0.0. Yeah, base game works on 20.5.0, but all bets are off with patches. This last part is important since Version 21.0.0 has reportedly stopped third party docks from working.

True or False?
You trust Microsoft to make an OS but don't trust them to not make it worse.

Hello everyone!

After 4 hours, 25 minutes yesterday, I managed to successfully download Hollow Knight: Silksong! I couldn't help but laugh at how much downloading this game was bottlenecked by everyone buying it this weekend. I didn't even mind the waiting.

I'll be streaming the game in the next hour, so stop by if you're interested. It'll be my first time playing a Hollow Knight game, so I make no promises on how I'll do.

Hello everyone! Would you watch a stream just to listen to me rant about a topic for the first 10-15 minutes?

In the last few gaming streams I've done there have been a few mild rants, but have they really interested you?

In the next game stream, I plan on talking about my thoughts on the Silksong launch, and my suspicions regarding the Windows 11 update that's allegedly been causing SSD failures for weeks. So if you don't stop by for the game, at least stop by for the rant if the topic means something to you.

To rant or not to rant? That is the question.

Are you having trouble collecting enough crabs in #GenshinImpact to really cook? Try watching this tutorial on Crab Spawn, a detailed explanation of the spawning behavior of crabs!

I am constantly investigating new locations across Teyvat to find places where Crab Spawn can be applied, so stay tuned for more details whenever a new area has been released.

Should I review/roast the Palworld clone, Palland, on the Nintendo eShop?

If you watch my stream from yesterday, you'll see how I go over how YouTube interprets "building sufficient channel history" for accounts on the platform with respect to the newly implemented AI age verification.

According to YouTube's own email correspondence, "building sufficient channel history" can take around two years. So I don't believe changing your video viewing habits (i.e. watching more mature content) over the last 2-3 weeks will outweigh your last 2 years of channel history, whether you have a new or old account. Whether people will stay around long enough to build two years of channel history for this new system has yet to be seen.

In my opinion, the "engaged viewer" and "profanity policy" changes were introduced as a means to prevent users from gaming this system before its complete rollout. Nothing is given without advantage to the giver.

Hello everyone. Today's stream is not a gaming stream.

Instead, I'll be going over my thoughts and concerns regarding the recent push for online ID verification.

This isn't just a rant about YouTube's decisions, but the practice of ID verification as a whole on a near global scale.

If you have time and concerns of your own, please join the stream and write a comment in the chat or comment section detailing your concerns for us to discuss.

There aren't any other rules to this apart from the daily request to remain civil, no matter how frustrating the current situation may be.

Today's stream will go live in an hour!

Have you had issues with the YouTube app where you can't comment on Shorts because the text input box is missing?

For whatever reason, it is placed behind your phone's navigation bar. If you go to "Display > Navigation bar" in your Android settings (or your device's equivalent) and change the Navigation type from "Navigation buttons" to "Full screen gestures", the navigation bar will become transparent and you'll see that the YT Shorts comment bar is right where the navigation bar is.

There are a number of problems with this. No offense to anyone using Full screen gestures, but I prefer a button-based navigation bar that responds with a simple tap input within its own dedicated area on the screen. This is especially true on an app like YouTube that constantly pushes ads out of nowhere that respond to even the slightest misclick, more so than the actual videos posted by legitimate channels. You shouldn't need to disable your button-based navigation bar, or ANY phone settings, just to access a feature as fundamental as posting a comment.

What do you think? Leave your thoughts in the comments section below, because at least this comment section works! Unless you have keyboard freezing issues...which will be coming in another poll!
