I don’t think McDonalds was ready for the Genshin Impact collab to explode like it did. I’ve been on hold for an hour trying to contact support so I can get my redemption code.
A year ago today, I rode Japan’s Shinkansen for the first time, from Numazu to Kyoto. I want to go back.

Hats off to Jeremy, James, and Richard. Thanks for the many years of entertainment (and controversy).
After much deliberation, I’ve decided on the iPhone 16 Pro in black, downsizing from the 15 Pro Max I’ve had for the last year. I’m definitely going to miss the extra screen real estate, but won’t miss the harder-to-hold phone itself.
Plot twist! As announced on Twitter, the Retroid Pocket 5 will now come with 8GB of RAM and launch with Android 13. No idea if this was just a marketing ploy or if they actually made something happen behind the scenes, but a much welcome upgrade nonetheless.
🔗 Retroid Pocket 5 full specs and pricing is up on the website. Pre-orders start Monday. Android 10 means Yuzu won’t run on it, which is a bit of a bummer, though Retroid says Android 13 will be coming later.
I’ll likely order one of these even just for GameCube/PS2/Dreamcast and back, that 1080p OLED is too good to pass up. Still can’t decide which color I want though.
More details on the Retroid Pocket 5:
- Snapdragon 865
- 5.5" 1080p OLED
- 5000mAH battery
- 280g weight
Gotta say, this runaround from Retroid is getting old. Just give us the specs, price, and release date already.
My Logitech G Pro X Superlight started flaking out on me, so I caved and bought a Superlight 2. Here’s hoping they’ve improved the build quality on this one. And I got the black one this time, never buying a white mouse again.. I’m tired of a yellow mouse.
🔗 Scratchpad is a new app from Sindre Sorhus that acts as a single-view scratchpad for any text that you need to hold onto. It’s like a simpler version of Tot with one page, and syncs between your iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud. Grab it now while it’s free!
For once in my life, I got lucky with the weapon banner and pulled signature weapons for both Mualani and Kazuha! Now to start saving for Kinich.

These look so good! I’m torn between the GameCube and the Super Famicom colors. The SFC with a transparent backplate would look pretty slick, too.
