Tesla CEO Elon Musk may currently be busy looking at his net worth blasting through one trillion dollars, thanks to the recent SpaceX IPO, but he's got other reasons to be jolly, too. Electrek spotted the official EPA filing for Tesla's self-driving car, the Cybercab, and the numbers look pretty great. SEE ALSO: Tesla recalls thousands of Model Y SUVs over missing sticker According to Tesla's submission, the Cybercab will be powered by a single, 163kW (219HP) motor driving the front wheels, and a 47.6kWh lithium-ion battery. While that battery capacity doesn't sound like much (for example, even the Rear-Wheel Drive Tesla Model 3 has a larger, 57.5kWh battery), the Cybercab is listed as having 418.2 miles of combined range, and 375.4 miles of highway range. Those sound better than they really are, mind you; these are unadjusted EPA test results, and we'll probably see lower official figures once the Cybercab hits the roads. In particular, EPA will likely apply a 0.7 correction factor to these numbers (as it does to all electric vehicles), which brings the combined range to 293 miles, which is still pretty great. The impressive range is partially thanks to the Cybercab's low curb weight, which is officially 3,113 lbs (1,412kg). Again, compare that to a RWD Tesla Model 3, which weighs 3,552 lbs in its lightest-ever configuration. Featured Video For You I took a ride in a robotaxi: How close are we to a driverless future? It's easy to see why the Cybercab is so light: smaller battery pack, only two seats, no steering wheel, and no pedals. Electrek points out that Tesla probably could have pushed the weight even lower, but the company was probably happy with the efficiency numbers it got with this configuration. The company originally claimed the Cybercab would have close to 300 miles of range.Tesla Cybercabs are now pretty much cleared to hit the roads from EPA's standpoint, but in order to send them to ferry actual passengers, Tesla still needs to pass some regulatory hurdles. The company currently has a limited robotaxi operation with Model Y cars ferrying passengers in Austin, Dallas, and Houston, Texas.

If you've recently found yourself wondering why someone is talking to "chat," calculating their "aura," calling a friend "twin," or lamenting their "Chungus life" on a daily basis, you're not alone.Terms that once lived in niche corners of Twitch, TikTok, and group chats now spread across the internet in a matter of days. Some, like "W" and "chat," emerged from livestreaming culture. Others, like "brainrot" and "Tung Tung Tung Sahur," were born of the internet's increasingly surreal sense of humor and its growing reliance on AI. A few, like "Chungus," have survived so long they've now been reinvented by the internet. SEE ALSO: The cult and community of Labubu Whether you're trying to decode a comment section or simply understand what young people are talking about, here's a guide to the most important internet slang terms you need to know in 2026."W"Short for "win," W is one of the internet's most common ways to express approval. While the term has roots in sports and gaming, where wins and losses are literal outcomes, it became mainstream through livestreaming culture. Popular streamers like IShowSpeed, Kai Cenat, and xQc frequently encourage viewers to "spam W's in the chat" in response to a positive moment, whether it's a successful challenge, a major announcement, or an unexpected victory. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Today, the term serves as an online catchall endorsement. Your favorite team pulls off a historic comeback? W. ("W Knicks.") Your friend lands their dream job? W. ("Huge W.") A creator posts a particularly good take? W. ("Common Vanillamace W.") Your flight gets upgraded, your crush texts back, or you find a $20 bill in an old jacket pocket? Those are all W moments. The format is simple, instantly recognizable, and perfectly suited to social media, where a single letter can communicate support, agreement, excitement, or admiration.UncShort for "uncle," "unc" evolved from a term of familiarity and respect in Black communities into broader internet slang. Online, it's often used to playfully call someone old, out of touch, or unintentionally embarrassing, even if they're nowhere near retirement age. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Athletes, celebrities, and creators in their late 20s or 30s have all found themselves labeled "unc" by younger users. The term reflects the internet's tendency to compress generations, where anyone perceived as slightly older can suddenly become an elder.AuraAura refers to a person's perceived coolness, confidence, or social presence. While the word itself has existed for decades, Gen Z and Gen Alpha transformed it into a kind of imaginary social currency. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Online users often joke about someone "gaining aura" after a particularly cool moment or "losing aura" after an awkward interaction. During the NBA Finals, for example, some fans joked that Victor Wembanyama had "lost aura" as the Spurs fell to the Knicks, while Knicks players were celebrated for gaining it. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Entire videos are now dedicated to calculating "aura points," treating charisma like a video-game stat that can rise or fall based on a person's actions. The concept has become so widespread that it has spawned phrases like "aura farming," where someone intentionally tries to look cool, and "aura gambling," where a person takes a high-risk action that could either dramatically increase or destroy their aura. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. ChatOriginally a livestreaming term, chat refers to the collective audience participating in a stream's live comments section. Streamers on Twitch, YouTube, and Kick frequently address viewers directly as "chat," creating a sense of shared conversation. "Hey chat" has become such a defining part of streaming culture that even Twitch has leaned into it in its marketing campaigns and social media posts.The phrase has since escaped livestreaming culture and entered everyday internet language. People now jokingly narrate their own lives as if they're broadcasting to an audience, saying things like, "Chat, are we cooked?" or "Chat, what should I do?" even when no actual chat exists. Some Gen Z users even refer to AI chatbots like ChatGPT simply as "chat."Chat has become the internet's modern-day Greek chorus, a collective audience perpetually reacting to the action. The difference is that today's chorus mostly communicates through emotes.BrainrotBrainrot was actually the word of the year for the Oxford University Press in 2024. The publisher defined it as "the supposed deterioration of a person's mental or intellectual state" caused by overconsumption of trivial online content. But the term has since evolved in a few different directions online. SEE ALSO: What is brainrot content? And why can't we escape it? Brainrot can refer to low-quality, repetitive, or intentionally absurd content — often called "slop" — that dominates social media feeds. It can also describe the obsessive state that results from consuming it. Someone deep into a TV show, celebrity fandom, sports team, video game, or meme might jokingly describe themselves as having brainrot. "Knicks brainrot," "K-pop brainrot," and "Formula 1 brainrot" are all common ways of describing an all-consuming fixation. While brainrot can describe a fandom obsession, it has also evolved into a genre of internet humor itself. In 2025 and 2026, AI-generated "Italian Brainrot" memes helped transform the term from a warning about excessive internet use into a celebration of the internet's increasingly absurd sense of humor. ChoppedIf someone is described as chopped, it means they're considered unattractive, awkward-looking, or poorly styled. The term gained popularity through TikTok and meme culture, where users frequently use it to rate appearances. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Like much internet slang, it's often exaggerated for comedic effect, though it can also be genuinely harsh. The popularity of the term reflects the rise of appearance-focused humor and ranking culture more broadly.ChoppelgangerA blend of "chopped" and "doppelganger," choppelganger refers to someone who resembles another person, but in a less flattering way. The term is commonly used in side-by-side meme comparisons, particularly when comparing celebrities, fictional characters, or public figures. Instead of being someone's lookalike, a choppelganger is essentially their discount version. The joke works because it combines internet roasting culture with the longstanding fascination with celebrity resemblance.ChungusBig Chungus is one of the internet's longest-lasting absurdist memes. The term originated from a 1941 Bugs Bunny cartoon frame in which the character appears unusually round and oversized. Decades later, internet users rediscovered the image and transformed it into a deliberately nonsensical meme. Although its peak popularity arrived years ago, Chungus has evolved beyond the original image. Today, the word is often used as a playful, meaningless modifier in the same spirit as terms like "goober" or "blorbo." Online users might joke about their "Chungus life," describe something as "Chungus-coded," or exclaim "fuck my Chungus life" when things go wrong. In many ways, the term survives not because people remember the original meme, but because its sheer absurdity makes it endlessly reusable. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Tung Tung Tung SahurTung Tung Tung Sahur is one of the defining characters of the AI-generated meme movement known as Italian brainrot. The character is typically depicted as a wooden humanoid figure with a large, log-like body, oversized feet, and a baseball bat, accompanied by dramatic AI-generated narration that repeatedly chants its name. Like many brainrot characters, its design feels simultaneously recognizable and inexplicable — unsettling enough to be memorable, but absurd enough to be funny. What began as a niche TikTok meme evolved into a recurring internet character with its own lore, fan art, merchandise, and pop culture references. It even has its own Fortnite skin. By 2026, Tung Tung Tung Sahur had become shorthand for a broader style of AI-era internet humor built around surreal imagery, such as AI-generated anthropomorphic fruit and animals. Even people who couldn't explain the character's origins often recognize the name or figure instantly. In that sense, Tung Tung Tung Sahur has transcended meme status and become a cultural fixture of the brainrot era. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. TwinTwin is a term of endearment used to describe someone who feels especially relatable, close, or aligned with another person. Popularized through Black culture and hip-hop, the term suggests a level of understanding that goes beyond friendship. Users might call someone "my twin" because they share the same interests, opinions, experiences, or sense of humor. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. The slang has become so widespread that it now appears everywhere from TikTok captions to pop lyrics, including the opening line of BTS's highly anticipated 2026 album, Arirang: "What you need, twin?" The term received an additional boost in popularity thanks to the viral success of "Made for Me" by Muni Long in 2024, particularly the lyric, "Twin, where have you been?" The sound became a fixture on TikTok, where users paired it with videos celebrating friendships, relationships, pets, and even favorite fictional characters. Today, "twin" is one of the internet's most common expressions of affection, used both sincerely and jokingly to signal an instant sense of connection.

During the fierce solar storms of 2024, people in places far south — places where no one expected to see auroras — snapped photos of luminous green and purple light rippling in the sky.For the masses, they were breathtaking and magical. But inside flight control for NASA's Swift mission, seeing those images was devastating: The flaring sun was only driving a nail deeper into the spacecraft's coffin. As Earth's upper atmosphere heated and bloated, the thickened air tugged on the space telescope. The Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, a telescope that has watched the universe's brightest explosions since 2004, is sinking — and fast. Instead of continuing its scientific observations into the 2030s, as once estimated, it now looks destined to fall back to Earth later this year, doomed for incineration in the atmosphere."To be totally honest, the idea of boosting it had occurred to us, but it seemed sufficiently far-fetched that I did not think there was any reasonable likelihood that NASA would go along with this," Brad Cenko, the mission's principal investigator, told Mashable.But NASA will indeed go for it, full throttle. About nine months ago, the agency hired a contractor, Arizona-based Katalyst Space Technologies, to quickly throw together a rescue mission. The company's spacecraft, called LINK, will fly up, wrap its arms around the telescope, and tow it about 150 miles up into a safer orbit. That robotic mission — planned on an unseemly timeline by NASA standards — is expected to launch on a Pegasus rocket that will drop from a Northrop Grumman aircraft over the South Pacific, then ignite. If the weather and environmental conditions are good, they'll launch on June 27. SEE ALSO: NASA picked its next Artemis crew. Here's what they'll do. NASA has serviced the Hubble Space Telescope before with astronauts, but the Swift boosting mission is wholly different. For the first time, NASA will try to save a science mission that was never intended for repairs in space. If it works, the robotic mission could signal the end of a throwaway culture for spacecraft in favor of a new era committed to fixing and reusing. NASA is paying a little over $30 million for the capture, boost, and release of Swift — a fraction of the original $160 million mission that launched in 2004. That's an economical choice, Cenko said, especially when considering that building another telescope today would likely cost in the $250 to $300 million range due to inflation.  Katalyst Space Technologies had less than nine months to plan the boosting mission. Credit: NASA / Katalyst Space Technologies infographic Why astronomers love SwiftAstronomers say Swift, one of the few NASA mission names that isn't straining to be an acronym, has earned a second chance. The observatory hunts gamma‑ray bursts, brief flashes of high‑energy light that can outshine entire galaxies for a few seconds. In that blink of time, a single event can pour out more energy than our sun will emit over its whole lifetime. Sitting a few hundred miles above Earth in low orbit, Swift constantly scans a wide patch of sky for these bursts. When it spots one, the spacecraft whips around and points its X‑ray and ultraviolet instruments at the fading glow. That ability to react within a minute or two to "catch the act" is how it got its name.In its first decade, Swift mainly chased its own discoveries. More recently, the team has figured out how to feed it alerts from other observatories, including big sky surveys scanned from the ground. That has turned Swift into a kind of first responder for cosmic fireworks, swinging toward whatever the rest of astronomy flags as urgent.Despite its value to astronomers, the driving force behind the boosting mission isn't entirely about preserving the scientific capability."If that were the only story, I'm not 100 percent sure we would be here," Cenko said. "The current administration is very strongly motivated to develop the U.S. commercial space sector, and to ensure that we maintain dominance in that space sector compared to other countries." The autonomous robotic LINK spacecraft, built by Katalyst Space Technologies, will try to rendezvous with the Swift observatory. Credit: NASA / Sophia Roberts Why Swift needs rescuingThe problem is not Swift's cameras or detectors. Those are in great working order, though they were only intended to operate for two years. It is the invisible drag of Earth's upper atmosphere that has created a ticking clock for the mission.When NASA launched Swift in 2004, it flew about 370 miles above the planet. Even there, a very thin smear of air acts like a brake. Over time, that drag steals speed and lets gravity pull a spacecraft down. Today, Swift has an altitude of roughly 230 miles.To buy extra time, the team changed how Swift flew in February, angling it to reduce drag. Then in April, they turned off the wide-angle detector that first spots gamma‑ray bursts. While those steps should slow down its fall, they've also essentially suspended the telescope's work.Already researchers have logged dozens of missed opportunities, including exploding stars, black holes tearing apart nearby stars, flares from black holes in the Milky Way, and comets changing as they move through the inner solar system. "Everyone wants to be able to go and save this telescope," Kieran Wilson, Katalyst's principal investigator for the LINK spacecraft, told Mashable. "It's not something where people are like, 'Oh, well, maybe we could slip launch a couple months.' It just doesn't come up. Everyone understands the constraints, understands the hard physics of the problem, and has been really, really motivated." How LINK will boost Swift's orbitNothing about the boosting mission is "normal." First, the rescue spacecraft, LINK, will drop from an airplane and light its engines midair over the ocean near the Marshall Islands. That unusual launch profile should make it easier to reach Swift's path near Earth's equator. Once in orbit, LINK, short for Lightweight In-space Navigation and Kinematics, will take its time closing in. The spacecraft will spend days or weeks gently adjusting its path until it flies close to Swift at nearly the same speed. Then, it will begin snapping detailed pictures of the sinking spacecraft.What Swift looks like today is one of the biggest unknowns for the rescue operation. Its insulation has likely degraded quite a bit over the past two decades in space. Katalyst's flight team can't predict its condition, nor do they know if sturdy spots exist on the spacecraft's body to get a good grip. When LINK does move in for the capture, people on the ground won't be steering it like a drone. Both spacecraft will be racing around Earth at about 17,000 mph. That means radio signals wouldn't be quick enough for the job. Instead, LINK will have to behave a bit like a self‑driving car. It will take rapid‑fire images, compare what it sees to its internal model of Swift, and fire small thrusters to correct its path by inches at a time.In the last moments, three metal arms with clamps will unfold from LINK. Swift will then hand over control of its orientation to Katalyst's robot. The climb to a higher orbit could take from about a month to several months, depending on Swift's altitude when LINK grabs it, the sun's behavior, and how well the engines work. This Northrop Grumman aircraft carries a Pegasus rocket, seen below the plane, that will drop over an ocean, light its engines midair, and launch to space. Credit: Northrop Grumman Robots as space mechanicsIf Katalyst succeeds, it will show that a relatively small robot can extend the life of a much more expensive telescope, even one that engineers never designed for maintenance. Future NASA missions might include grab handles, standard attachment rings, and replaceable parts, designed with the idea that a space mechanic could show up someday. It could mean a new era in the space economy, Wilson said. "This is absolutely a model we want to use going forward, where spacecraft are no longer a static asset on orbit — they're no longer stuck with only what they launched with," Wilson said. "You can reposition spacecraft when they run out of propellant, boost their orbit when they're in danger of reentry, and that is something that we see as foundational to the way that space will evolve in the next few decades." For the Swift team, the mission is more than an experiment or a demonstration. They consider themselves Swifties and have leaned into Taylor Swift fandom, swapping friendship bracelets at meetings and borrowing language from the pop star's albums. They're hoping it's not the end of a good 20 years, full of astronomical hits. "We say we're going into the 'boost era'," Cenko said.

New Pride Month, same boring jokes about bisexual women.Every year, wannabe comedians online take Pride Month as an opportunity to poke fun at bisexual women, especially those who are dating men. 2026 is no different: This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. And this started before June 1, to be clear. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. As a bi woman, I clench every time Pride approaches because I know these jokes are coming. They're not only tired at this point, but they also signal that stereotypes and stigmas about bisexual people haven't changed. (And I'm a bi woman dating a lesbian, so I'm not even the butt of this particular joke, and I'm still sick of it.)Before I go further, I want to make something clear: Bi people are not the most oppressed faction of the LGBTQ community. Without a doubt, trans people are being oppressed by the U.S. and other governments, and they need our support. Trans people's existence is being threatened by legislation against gender affirming care, barriers to accurate IDs, freedom of speech, allowance in sports, bathrooms, and more. Not to mention all the transphobia that we see outside the government from everyday people. It's disgusting, and it needs to stop.  SEE ALSO: Pornhub launches Pornhub Sapphic, a site dedicated to lesbian content Cis bisexual people are by no means experiencing this level of threat. I'm not trying to play the Oppression Olympics. But given these same jokes happen year over year, it's past time we talk about it.It's also worth pointing out that there is a common thread between biphobia and transphobia, and it's the human tendency — not speaking for everyone, obviously — to want to put everyone in a neat little box. To see everything in black and white. We as a species (and on the internet, especially) have trouble with the gray area of life, with nuance, with holding two things to be true at once. This is exemplified by both gender essentialism, or the belief that men and women have certain intrinsic characteristics, and biphobia, or the disdain for people who are attracted to more than one gender (or refusal to believe that's true). And maybe that's why monosexual people (gay and straight people) can be hostile to us. At least, that's one reason. Misogyny also can't be ignored here. All the jokes I've seen so far this Pride are specifically about bi women and ignore bi men entirely. When it comes to biphobia, the attraction to women is always what's questioned, as bi women are assumed to be straight and bi men are assumed to be gay. Harmful stereotypes against bi peopleCertain stereotypes are unique to bisexual people: We're greedy, we're hypersexual, we're cheaters, we're going to leave someone for the other gender, that we're faking for attention, and that bisexuality is a choice.The sad reality is that these stereotypes don't just lead to mean social media posts; they have real-life implications. As I've written about for Mashable, bi people's mental health is impacted by this stigma, and bi people are more vulnerable to intimate partner violence. There are multiple factors that lead to this, from believing in the hypersexual myth, to wanting to "turn" women straight…A famous example is Amber Heard and Johnny Depp. In 2022, after the infamous Depp v Heard trial concluded, Rebecca Bodenheimer wrote for the LGBTQ outlet Them.:When psychologist Dawn Hughes took the stand during the defamation trial initiated by Johnny Depp against his ex-wife Amber Heard, she testified to the court that Heard's bisexuality was a point of contention during the actors' tumultuous marriage. Hughes gave examples: Heard had "faced scrutiny" in her interactions with women and, on one occasion, Depp allegedly "manually penetrated" her in anger after he saw Heard have an exchange with another woman.Bodenheimer went on to say that, "[Heard's] bisexuality was weaponized against her during her 2016 divorce from Depp, with media suggesting she was untrustworthy and had cheated on him due to her sexuality.""On social media, supporters of Depp used hashtags like #AmberHeardIsAPsychopath, #AmberHeardIsALiar, and #AmberHeardIsASlut — all sentiments that mirror some of the many stereotypes and stigmas that bisexual people still face," Bodenheimer wrote.We must recognize the harm that could stem from the same biphobia that leads to little jokes on the internet. I've never experienced what Heard has, but I've run into my share of biphobia.In 2019, years before I met my fiancée, I attended a sapphic speed-dating event. I had a great time, but then at the end, before there was supposed to be an afterparty at another location, I was in line for the bathroom when I overheard someone say that she'd never date a bi woman. And I was so hurt by this that I just left. I didn't go to the second location. I didn't even go to the bathroom. I didn't say anything, either, so who knows if this woman found out that she upset me.I understand that that woman might've had her own negative experiences with bi women that led her to say that. But like any group, bi people aren't a monolith. Instead of treating us as individuals, she wrote us off altogether. Or, perhaps worse, she didn't even base her preference on her past, and just judged bisexual women for dating/sleeping with men, or some other biphobic tick. If I had to give my 2019 self advice, I'd tell her to just go to the afterparty and not let that person get to me. (But in the end, it didn't matter; I met the love of my life a couple of years later.)Bi folks, we are a little annoyingAs a bi person myself, however, I can admit we can be a little annoying. We are the "but, actually…" of the queer community — but with good reason. As bisexual writer Zachary Zane has written about in his memoir, Boyslut, and in Men's Health, bisexual "visibility" can be difficult. In theory, you'd need to be holding hands (or making out with) two different-gendered people simultaneously. And if you're in a monogamous relationship, that's not happening.What Zane advocates for is bisexual audibility, which is the practice of coming out as bisexual.If you're assuming someone's gay or straight and they tell you you're wrong, you can perceive them as being obnoxious. It's indeed annoying to be wrong and to be told you're wrong. But for many bisexual people, saying so is the only way they can let it be known.I don't think it's necessary to tell people they're wrong about you in every context. I also know there are times when we need to assert ourselves and our place in the LGBTQ community. We're here, queer, get used to it, etc.Bisexual people may be the "but actually" of the queer community, but we're also the "yes, and," and I love that for us. We live in the gray area, the nuance. It's OK if you're not visibly bi all the time, and it's also OK if you're in a straight-passing relationship.Maybe next year, we'll be writing the jokes.

Just a little over one year ago, the Nintendo Switch 2 finally came out, and it's been a heck of a rollercoaster ride.Nintendo's latest home console/handheld hybrid has surprised, delighted, and in some capacity or another disappointed us all in the span of 12 months. There have been excellent exclusives and a stronger-than-expected pipeline of major third-party releases, all alongside serious concerns about affordability (and eventually a price increase) and questions about whether Nintendo might be playing it too safe with some of its big titles.With all of that in mind, let's talk about the first year of the Switch 2, including what's gone right, what went wrong, and what we can expect from its next trip around the sun. SEE ALSO: The biggest announcements from the June 2026 Nintendo Direct Nintendo Switch 2 first anniversary: The good Credit: Joe Maldonado / Mashable Starting with what has worked in the Switch 2's favor, I would be remiss not to immediately mention the significantly more premium look and feel of the device compared to its predecessor. Nintendo sized up the Switch 2 a bit, giving it a larger display with a higher resolution and refresh rate, bigger Joy-Con controllers that are more comfortable in the hands, and a less toy-like feel overall. The dock for outputting games to your TV has also been significantly improved via the addition of a built-in Ethernet port, something the Switch 1's dock didn't have at launch.The Switch 2's improved industrial design was also met by substantially more horsepower under the hood. While it's still a far cry from what a PlayStation 5 can do, the Switch 2's graphical capabilities are strong enough that a surprising number of big, expensive third-party releases have already made their way to the console, or will in the near future. The Switch 2 ports of recent hits like Pragmata and Resident Evil: Requiem are nothing short of outstanding, and the June 2026 Nintendo Direct contained some upcoming heavy hitters like Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen and Devil May Cry 5. Oh yeah, Elden Ring is still on track to release on Switch 2 this year, too. Needless to say, the people who only own a Switch 2 and no other gaming hardware (anecdotally, this is not a small audience) are eating pretty good these days. It's also worth noting that the Switch 2's arguably best use case right now is playing older games. A shockingly large number of old Switch 1 games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild have either gotten paid "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" upgrades or free patches to make them look and run a lot better on the new console. There's also a bunch of backward-compatible Switch 1 games that simply work better on Switch 2 without an official update, which is pretty sweet, honestly. I kind of can't believe how much time I've spent going back and clearing out my backlog of old games simply because they look better on Switch 2 than they did before.Oh yeah, the eShop digital storefront that's built into the console is finally usable now. It was a real slog on Switch 1, but it's totally fine on Switch 2. Couples Halloween costume idea, maybe? Credit: Nintendo Lastly, Nintendo has been releasing roughly one first-party game per month since the Switch 2 came out. That cadence has produced some great stuff like Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Pokémon Pokopia. I'll also go to bat for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, which is a lot cooler than you might think at first glance. Not every exclusive has been a banger, but you could argue the Switch 2 has gotten more compelling first-party titles in its first year than the PS5 has in its first six years. And there's basically zero argument against the fact that the Switch 2 is winning that battle against the Xbox Series consoles in the same time frame.Nintendo Switch 2 first anniversary: The bad I did not care for 'Kirby Air Riders.' Credit: Nintendo When discussing the Switch 2's early pitfalls, one simply has to start with its place in the current economy. Everything is more expensive than ever, meaning disposable income is at a premium for many, many people. Put bluntly, the Switch 2 is a bigger investment than a lot of people can realistically make right now. Some of that is Nintendo's fault, but much of it isn't.For example, Mario Kart World being $80 is something Nintendo has control over, but the $50 price hike coming later this year (an extreme rarity for a new video game console) is a response to the RAMageddon crisis that's causing tech prices to spike all over the place. Nintendo requiring users to buy MicroSD Express cards (a new storage medium most people don't already have lying around) to expand system storage is also unfortunate, given the ongoing memory crisis, even if the Switch 2 would be a notably less capable machine if it used an older, cheaper storage format. Considering the quality of the hardware and the state of the tech manufacturing economy, the Switch 2, being a $500 initial investment starting in September, makes sense. But that doesn't mean people have to like it, and they probably shouldn't.On the software side, there are some gripes to be had, as well. It's not great that we haven't even heard whispers of a new mainline Mario or Legend of Zelda game for the Switch 2 after a year. Their absences are easily explained (the core Mario team made Bananza and Zelda games take like six years to make now), but nonetheless, those are the things some people really flock to Nintendo systems for, and we have no idea when they'll come out or even be announced. There's also a strong argument to be made that Nintendo is playing it a bit too safe with its software lineup at the moment. The Switch 2 has yet to be home to a notable brand new franchise of any kind, something that we usually see at least once per console generation. Beyond that, two of the biggest upcoming Switch 2 exclusives are Star Fox and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, remakes of older games. As intriguing as those both might be, they're not as exciting as new games would be.What's next for Switch 2? Having said all of that, I do think the near-future outlook for the Switch 2 is positive. Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave looks like it'll be a heater when it comes out in September, and the same could be said for announced 2027 releases like Pokémon Winds and Waves and Xenoblade Genesis. I also have a gut feeling we'll hear something from Mario by the end of 2027.Aside from games, it would be great to know if Nintendo has plans for Switch 2 Lite or Switch 2 OLED models. A handheld-only Lite console could be a cheaper alternative, while an OLED model would address the complaints many users have about the handheld display on the current machine. In a perfect world where AI data centers didn't exist, one or both of these would be a lock-in for the next year or two, but sadly, the outlook is uncertain.Broadly speaking, I think Nintendo has made most of the right moves over the past year, and I feel pretty good about where things are headed, RAMageddon aside. As someone who lived through the Wii U era, when it felt like Nintendo was in a sort of existential crisis, I'll take the current situation over that in a heartbeat.

Welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue.Released in August 2025, Pips puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move on to the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.How to play PipsIf you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity with how Pips is played. As we've shared in our previous hints stories for Pips, the tiles, like dominoes, are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match. SEE ALSO: Wordle today: Answer, hints for June 16, 2026 The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible — and common — for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.
