    PAX West 2026 Part 1 - The vibes around gaming are horrendous but the people are gems

    Nearly a decade after my last blog post, which was PAX West 2017, I have some thoughts I want to write. All photos here are mine. I've attended every PAX West since 2016, with the exception of 2018-2022 (when I was in college). I've seen this expo change countless times, but this is one of the...

    Chary to step down as Chief editor: Thank You for a wonderful 5+ years

    @Chary Will never forget streaming with you, Meteor7, Luna and everyone else, or everything in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey back in 2017. Your E3 recaps were always so fun to read, as were your blogs featuring your cats and your family (hope they're doing well). For as big and prominent as...

    Mario Kart 8 Deluxe gets free Switch 2 update, adds eight-player multiplayer, higher resolution visuals, camera support, and more

    The better Mario Kart, I'm afraid. I'm straight up gonna play 8 still. I don't want to race on a straight path anymore :sad:

    Xbox to offer digital licences with physical disc purchases

    Yeah, discs after installs are just DRM. After the Xbox 360 era, I moved entirely to PC and Switch. Didn't own a PS4 or Xbone till the end of that console gen so imagine my surprise when I learned the games don't boot straight from disc anymore. Whole game's installed to the console first, and...

    Editorial Worth the wait - a look at Elden Ring on the Switch 2

    I saw this game in action last year at PAX West. The performance was a little rough, glad to see it turned out alright!

    Pokémon X/Twitter account compromised to advertise memecoin

    I have friends who fly to different states to buy and sell cards at conventions. A lot of them make a profit too. Didn't realize how crazy it'd gotten till I saw those Pokemon vending machines. They limit inventory release in random 2-8 hr windows to deter loitering, else it sells out immediately.

    Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look - now on YouTube

    Two thoughts simultaneously: 1. I'm not even a GTA fan, but I love gaming. Rockstar just makes massive playgrounds with as much physics and interactable nonsense they can cram in, and takes 10 years and thousands of people to do it. It's a spectacle, and a damn good one. I'm on board. 2. Good...

    How we cover AI-assisted projects - GBAtemp community check-in

    I have zero qualms about AI assisted code (I say that as a software engineer myself whose company also heavily pushes AI code). I'm convinced responsible use of AI code generation can make you like 25-50% faster (not 10x like some evangelists will spout, but meaningfully faster? yes). But you're...

    Just watched Episode 4 of HBO's Hard Knocks w/ the Seahawks. It's so special seeing your home team featured on a nationally televised sports doc like this, but damn this week's show was a gut punch. Fan-favorite receiver Jake Bobo and promising rookie Bud Clark both out for the season with...

    I'll take your word for it lol. I want to say I'm at least 60-70% of the way there myself, but I gotta figure out transferring everything forward. My first ever Pokemon, now a Lv. 100 Infernape, is sitting on a ripped save file of Pokemon Platinum somewhere on my Google Drive :rofl2:. Don't...

    ASUS announces ROG Xbox Ally X20 pricing and availability

    Unpopular opinion: I won't consider a PC handheld without touchpads like the Steam Deck. This colorway is cool though, reminds me of the limited edition Steam Deck OLED with the transparent case.

    I listened in to the last Tempcast where you mentioned your real maybe fake Deoxys lol. Jokes aside, massive respect. I've wanted to complete my own OT living Dex for over a decade but they keep dropping more Pokemon as I get less time!!
