It's a decent opportunity to broach the subject of things not being around forever. He should embrace it as an opportunity to give a life lesson 😂
His 3 year old sat in tears as he gently explains that eventually everything dies and the world is shit.

Is my Twitter playing up, or does that Dexerto tweet not even link to an article to back up the claim?
Anyway I’d hardly say Jeff “called out” Nintendo, he was obviously frustrated but he of all people understands that they’re not going to keep paying for legacy online servers forever. And I bet the number of people still going online for 3DS Animal Crossing is trivial compared to Animal Crossing on Switch. (Even though, as Jeff said, 3DS is the better game).
It’s just another sad example of how nothing online is forever, and we’re all going to lose media we’ve loved unless we have a better approach to archiving or allowing people to do their own instanced versions as passion projects.

Sticking this here for lack of a general gaming media/youtube thread
Luke Westerway is leaving Oxtra tomorrow. His solo channel has launched with a stream of Dark Souls so he’s not made a hard departure content-wise yet.
I know its a second revenue stream and that’s a plus but since they’re not even dropping any hints of replacing him yet I do wonder what Oxtra will be without Luke and Ellen’s chemistry. There’s already a huge crossover with Oxbox so presumably that’ll only increase if Ellen has to fly solo for a bit.

I mourn for Show of the Weekend- that was the best and most original thing on that channel.

Yeah, listicles are ok I guess but I much preferred the magazine format they had going on
