    The New Yorker profiled Bluesky CEO Jay Graber.

    It’s a pretty interesting article at about Graber and Bluesky as a whole.

    It also includes a nugget that Graber and Mastodon founder Eugen Rochko met about having the platforms interoperate, but “each told me that the other seemed more interested in having the rival platform migrate onto their own protocol,” author Kyle Chayka writes.

    Don’t lick a Switch 2 cart.

    Like OG Switch carts, they taste bad, Nintendo’s Takuhiro Dohta told GameSpot. “We don’t want anybody to be at risk of any unwanted consumption,” Dohta says. “We have indeed made it so that if it enters your mouth, you’ll spit it out.”

    Fortnite’s next Festival season, which kicks off on April 8th, will feature Sabrina Carpenter, Epic Games announced today.

    Epic is also updating emotes so that when you do an emote that’s classified as a “Dance Emote,” any other player will be able to do that dance with you even if they don’t own it.

    Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour will cost $9.99.

    Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser shared the pricing of the game, which serves as an explainer of the system’s features, in an interview with The Verge.

    I personally think it should have been included with the console for free, but a lot of things about the Switch 2 come at a higher price.

    Netflix Stories are over.

    Netflix has canceled the Netflix Stories interactive fiction IP, the company confirmed to PocketGamer.biz. The mobile app lets you play games based on Netflix shows like Emily in Paris, Selling Sunset, and Perfect Match.

    Narrative games are one of Netflix’s four categories it’s focusing on for games, but it appears that Netflix Stories aren’t part of the equation anymore.
