Omg I missed this so much
#Pokémon
A *really* good tip I got on BlueSky: if you’re on iPadOS 26 — especially if you’re on an 11” iPad — do this for more room:
Settings → Display & Brightness → Display Zoom (at the bottom) → More Space
Makes my 11” iPad Pro SO much nicer to use in multitasking mode.
@evoterra That stuff is so good! Brought several bottles back with us the last time we were in Belize!
After a really busy day finally found some time to play a few games on the #Switch2. Mario Kart World is a lot of fun and so smooth! Pokémon Scarlet/Violet feels like a completely different game, all the lag and frame drops are gone and it looks so much better. Breath of the Wild is also so much smoother and looks so good, didn’t play that much but going to have to dive back in. Just need to find time…
@GossiTheDog I was shocked that mine was delivered at 6am! Can’t actually use it yet as I’ve appointments all morning.
I’m actually surprised that it’s here! Guess there’ll be some Mario Kart World later today!
It looks like #Walmart is preparing to ship my #Switch2, they are saying it’ll be delivered tomorrow. To be honest I’m surprised as I expected them to cancel it. Maybe calling them out yesterday had an effect? I’ll take it… I’ll believe it when it’s been delivered.
Still nothing from #Walmart regarding the #Switch2 pre-order this morning so I contacted them via online chat asking why they are saying there’s a payment issue when they haven’t attempted a charge. They looked into it and said that everything looked ok with the order and they should be charging and shipping soon. About 10 minutes after ending the chat my card was charged. That can’t be a coincidence… Hopefully it actually ships and turns up. 🤞
It’s looking like #Walmart is going to be canceling my #Switch2 pre-order. They claim the charge is getting refused by my bank. The bank says there’s been no charge attempt from them. As such it appears that they’re using this as an excuse to cancel my order. I wish they’d simply be honest and explain the actual reason behind the cancellation instead of making up a story…
Woot, looks like we may be getting a #MicroCenter in #Phoenix!

@mr_daemon What tool is that? It looks very useful?
