Just For You


If you’re burnt out on all the Switch 2 coverage, why don’t you pop on over to the Video Game History Foundation’s YouTube. They’re cracking open over 100 ROMs that appear to be from the Japanese developer Taito. There’s hope to find assets from old games and possibly unreleased prototypes of games never seen before.




Fujifilm’s been quiet about its upcoming medium format cinema camera, but it’s trickling out just 10 initial features. These include: an optical lowpass filter, available sensor formats, in-camera codecs, custom LUTs, film simulations, film simulation-based 3D LUTs, custom framing guidelines, remote multi-camera control, Bluetooth, and LCD / on-board menu display specs.
Much of that sounds typical for any high-end cinema camera, but of course Fujifilm is flexing its film simulation muscles.

Isn’t it funny how all these tech and science men have ties to Epstein? I wonder why! Anyway, Epstein invested with Thiel’s Valar Ventures — and that investment hasn’t previously been disclosed. Guess what that means? “There’s a good chance much of the windfall will not go to any of the roughly 200 victims whom the disgraced financier abused when they were teenagers or young women.”

On Nintendo’s Australia site, the company says the 20.1.1 update will add features like GameChat, GameShare, virtual game cards, the Nintendo eShop, Nintendo Switch Online, and more. Nintendo says you’ll be prompted to download the update upon setting up the Switch 2.

The original Switch capped the number of screenshots you could save to a meager 10,000, but for the Switch 2 Nintendo has increased the limit to 30,000, according to NintendoSoup. That’s split between the console’s system memory and a microSD card, with each having a capacity of 15,000 images.
The Switch 2 can also store up to 6,500 30 second videos — 1,500 in its system memory, and an additional 5,000 on a microSD card.

While parts of the world are still watching for deliveries and setting up shop in front of GameStops and BestBuys waiting for a Switch 2, some folks have already gotten a head start on the Great Nintendo Content Rush of 2025.
Already there are multiple streams on YouTube and Twitch showing off Mario Kart World to the envy of the rest of us plebs. If you’re a Deltarune fan, get them social media filters set up now or you might get the latest chapter (also launching with the Switch 2) spoiled.
That’s the assessment from US Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who just released a 300-page report (PDF) detailing key findings, including “missed deadlines, budget shortfalls, and overrepresentation of projected ridership.” Duffy is ordering the agency in charge of the project to respond in 37 days, or risk contract terminations. And he frames the demand as being “good stewards” of US tax dollars — even as Trump’s “big beautiful bill” is projected to grow the federal deficit to $2.4 trillion. Of course, Trump has been angling to kneecap California’s high-speed rail project for years now.
The public’s negative response to previous instances of major Hollywood firing up the generative AI slop machine might make you think that entertainment execs have cooled on the technology. But a new report from Vulture makes it sound like more and more studios are jumping on the bandwagon and trying very hard to keep it a secret.

Using an R&D kit from a company called Etherdyne Technologies, Matthew Perks created a wooden desk that’s capable of powering everything on it, including a mouse, keyboard, speakers, and a display, without a single visible wire.
The technology is similar in principle to what’s found in Qi chargers but a hidden wire running around the perimeter of the desk generates a 3D field capable of wirelessly powering devices at a short distance.
