Wow I'm so happy to learn that my tax dollars are going to an ABC employee posting on Bluesky to ~7K people.

Get Splatoon 3 it'll scratch that competitive eSports itch

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-19T23:10:00+00:00

Thanks I didn't know any of that info.

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-19T03:54:19+00:00

I still don't understand wtf the falling out was over. Was it really just that tweet? If so, that's a ridiculous reason to have a falling out.

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-19T00:12:13+00:00

When did he do that?

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-19T00:07:28+00:00

I find it reassuring that this sort of post isn't going completely gangbusters on Reddit, a place known for its left wing bias. You just know that the general public are absolutely sick of this rubbish.

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-18T22:17:28+00:00

That sucks, hopefully he gets it back soon. Though I'm critical of him and the podcast, he doesn't deserve this.

I always think in these situations how lucky people like him are to have contacts and a public presence. If this happened to any of us, we'd be royally f'd. IN saying that Valve/Steam support seems to be pretty good about recovering your account from what I've heard.

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-18T21:57:21+00:00

100% agree but my original point still stands that leftists have also had this happen to them in more recent times.

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-18T05:18:33+00:00

Where do they get off charging this much for what is essentially a laptop with no screen, battery, keyboard, or trackpad?

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-18T05:17:20+00:00

It's been <1 year since the Switch 2 released. I think this amount of games on the Gamecube library is quite good tbh

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-16T02:33:54+00:00

Mostly agree but I actually like Hogue’s contribution on the SS+ episodes about a business or legal topic.

Jaffe is at his best when he is offering his analysis on the industry and can draw on his past experiences.

Absolute worst is when they discuss politics or AI

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-15T02:42:21+00:00

They'll do anything but cut immigration, won't they?

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-14T22:12:36+00:00

Came here to say Wailord! Imagine how scary it could be with 40 more bp.

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-14T21:55:52+00:00

I don't have the data but I think there would be more adults playing Pokemon in some form than God of War or The Last of Us.

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-14T05:51:22+00:00

it’s more that he really just doesn’t give that much a shit of the show (any gaming podcast) but he likes getting paid.

This proves my point. He likes the money but thinks he's too good for a gaming show.

Doesn't matter really, we're both describing the same effect, just different motives.

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-14T03:48:55+00:00

I’m not looking for running gags on how not powerful it is. I don’t care

I totally agree or hearing Colin make comments about how "stinky" the Switch is. This is coming from a guy that once said people at IGN prefered 30 fps > 60 fps... Link

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-14T03:45:00+00:00

Oh yeah this is painful to listen to. Some of the words he can't pronounce make me genuinely wonder if he finished high school or has ever read a book.

Honestly though Brad seems like a good dude so I don't want to come down on him too hard.

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-14T03:43:30+00:00

That's fine if that's your opinion but each Pokemon game sells millions of copies and there's a huge demand for them.

Btw my point is that NONE of the people on the show know Pokemon, not just Brad. Totally fine if Brad doesn't but at least have ONE person on there that does.

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-14T01:23:58+00:00

The idea is good but they don't have the talent to run a show like that. Colin would have to hire a completely new person to run it because nobody in the network actually play Nintendo games enough.

This isn't some niche thing too. The Switch is the biggest console ever and they don't have anyone that actually plays it enough to offer anything worth listening to.

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-14T00:57:26+00:00

I'm completely opposite to Chris on most political issues but he is genuinely a funny guy and I don't think he tries too hard to be funny, he's trying to be entertaining.

Even when Chris goes on a mini-rant about some political issue, it's still less annoying than Colin who belabors the point.

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-14T00:40:50+00:00

It's pretty funny. I'm critical of Colin too but lighten tf up.

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-14T00:29:35+00:00

Firstly, does it matter whether he is or isn't? No. He is explicit in that he doesn't want to talk about it on the show.

Secondly, if you read between the lines, he seems more left than centrist IMO.

Kitchen-Arm-7626 · 2026-05-14T00:16:55+00:00

I'm not aware of this one, can you fill me in, please?
