gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-12-17 22:01:34

The situation surrounding Trump tariffs hasn’t eased its pressure on Nintendo. Even as the Switch 2 has become one of the fastest-selling consoles ever, the Mario maker said that select Switch 2 accessories may see price “adjustments” starting Aug 3. Not only that, but the original Switch and Switch OLED could cost more going forward. I guess we shouldn’t say we told you so, but even we didn’t expect to witness original Switch models selling for $40 or $50 more than before. In a news post, Nint

Itch.io Is Restoring NSFW Games—as Long as They’re Free

wired.com Megan Farokhmanesh 2025-12-17 22:24:16

On Thursday, indie gaming platform Itch.io began re-indexing some of the adult content it had delisted last month amid pressure from conservative groups and payment processors over its hosting of NSFW titles. While the move returns some content to the site’s searchable catalog, it impacts only those games, comics, and other offerings that are already free and therefore not caught in the current payment debacle. “We are still in ongoing discussions with payment processors and will be reintroduci

Nintendo says it's raising prices for the original Switch hardware lineup and select accessories. The company didn't provide details of how much the price will increase or give a reason why other than saying the increase was "based on market conditions," which is likely a reference to the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.

Drawing for the New Yorker

Drawing cartoons is an odd profession, I must admit. But someone has to do it. The New Yorker magazine has run cartoons— or drawings, as they like to call them— since its inception 100 years ago. The editors knew how popular satirical art was, and considered it a crucial part of the nascent publication. Not just decoration; far from it. The art was more successful than the writing in that first year! A lot of the process of creating a drawing of this type involves doodling, a lot of observing,
