    GuliKit is upgrading its portable dock to work with the Switch 2.

    If you want your on-the-go Nintendo Switch 2 TV dock to actually hold your console you might want to wait for GuliKit’s new accessory it recently teased on X. It appears to be a new version of its TV Docking Station for Switch that trades a plastic case for aluminum and adds cooling vents on the underside.

    The robots have come for our Muppets.

    As part of giving its Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster attraction at Hollywood Studios a Muppets makeover (goodbye, Aerosmith) Walt Disney World imagineers created an audio-animatronic version of Scooter. To ensure the robot moved like a puppet they used a motion capture studio to record the actual Muppets’ movements performed by a puppeteer.
