This week's music: Allie X - Black Eye

Apr 5

Well we expected to talk about the Switch 2 and how interesting it was and what we like about it, but it's hard not to get sidetracked by how much of a debacle the tariff situation could kick off for Nintendo's new console and the video game market as a whole.

No, it's not ideal. But hey, it actually turned out pretty nice, and it was either this or not give you an episode two weeks in a row which we can. not. allow.
