Welcome, Shackers, to the middle of April. Next week marks the midway point through this fine month, and it’s pretty calm this time around. We have some nice things coming at the end of the month, but until then, we’ll be continuing to observe topics like the Nintendo Switch 2’s pre-order date and the effect of the tariffs on various tech and game companies. For now, however, it’s time to bring another day of posting to a close, and for that you get an Evening Reading. Enjoy.

Good cosplay. I’ve heard mixed responses to the Devil May Cry series, but good on him getting the bag. Castlevania was great.

Ben Starr and Jimbo can do no wrong

She was actually in the recent closed network test, but this video shows off things I’d never seen her do. Pretty rad. Seems fun if you want a swift debuff user.
