    Short Games: Leap Year

    In our first "Short Games" episode, we explore Leap Year - a brilliant 2-hour platformer that delivers more impact than games 10 times its length. For just $5, developer Daniel Linssen created a masterpiece of focused design that respects your time while leaving a lasting impression.

    2 Switch 2 Nintendo

    In this episode of Human Computer's podcast, we sit down to break down Nintendo's Switch 2 announcement. We dive into the new tech (no OLED—a disappointment to some), the $449 price tag, and why Nintendo can get away with charging $80-90 for games when others can't. We geek out over the fancy new magnetic Joy-Cons with mouse functionality, built-in game chat that actually works (supposedly), and third-party support that finally brings games like Elden Ring to a Nintendo platform. We wrap up with predictions on how Nintendo's hybrid console approach might force Sony and Microsoft to rethink their strategies, and what it means for game studios. This is a public episode.
