    I still don’t trust you, Asus.

    The company says the ROG Ally, its handheld gaming PC that actually wasn’t an April Fool’s joke, will be releasing worldwide “sooner than you expect,” but I’m still mad about the April Fools’ Day shenanigans. Fingers crossed it actually launches in the near future, though.

    Even the squid kids are obsessed with Tears of the Kingdom.

    They’re celebrating in Splatoon 3 with a Zelda-themed Splatfest in May. But really, there’s only one team worth joining: #TeamPower.

    Did you know there’s a Horizon expansion coming out next week?

    Horizon Forbidden West’s DLC, Burning Shores, comes out on Wednesday, and Sony just released a great-looking launch trailer for the game. I can’t wait to play it.

    But I understand if the release might have slipped under your radar. In what has become something of a tradition for Horizon launches, a different open-world game is stealing the games industry’s attention. At least you’ll have a few weeks to beat Burning Shores before the new Zelda is out on May 12th.

    Bluesky’s boss shared some thoughts about moderation on the decentralized platform.

    I really recommend reading the whole thing, it’s not long.

    Moderation should be a composable, customizable piece that can be layered into your experience. For custom feeds, there is a basic default (only who you follow), and then many possibilities for custom algorithms. For moderation as well, there should be a basic default, and then many custom filters available on top.

    Bluesky is currently invite-only on iOS. I have access and am working on a piece about it — stay tuned.

    SF’s district attorney isn’t happy with Elon Musk’s tweets about Bob Lee’s death.

    After Lee’s murder last week, Musk tagged District Attorney Brooke Jenkins in a tweet asking if the city would be taking stronger action to “incarcerate repeat violent offenders.”

    But San Francisco officials said Thursday that the arrested suspect knew Lee.

    As reported by NBC News:

    “Reckless and irresponsible statements like those contained in Mr. Musk’s tweet — that assumed incorrect circumstances about Mr. Lee’s death — served to mislead the world in its perceptions of San Francisco,” Jenkins said.

    The statements, she continued, “also negatively impact the pursuit of justice for victims of crime, as it spreads misinformation at a time when the police are trying to solve a very difficult case.”
