So, Wayland it is?
It’s probably best that there is no link to social media on a game console.
All three manufacturers?
sad Sega noises
Dreamcast 4 lyfe yo, can't be a previous generation if they never released a later console
i can't wait till the day i never fucking hear about twitter ever again
At this point, an integration with x/twitter seems really odd.
- It's actually amazing how much Musk managed to squander Twitter's brand value in only two years. He's really done everything wrong from a PR perspective.
  
  I don't believe he really cares about Twitter anymore.
You mean twitter?
What a shame.
- I had to come to the comments to figure out what X was supposed to mean. I legitimately forgot about Xitter for a moment. It was nice.
  
  I thought it was some sort of emulation engine that I hadn't heard about.
  Dumbass Musk ruined Twitter's brand recognition so badly.
👏Thank 👏 you 👏 Elon 👏
I didn't know that the Switch had Twitter integration.
- It was the only way to get screenshots off the console without physically using the SD card. I had an account just for Animal Crossing screenshots.
  Same with PlayStation; a lot of people had accounts just for getting screenshots they had taken off the console.
  
  I'm glad they finally added directly beaming them to your smartphone.
  Well, directly is a stretch. But at least the direct WiFi method means I didn't have to use a throwaway twitter account anymore to transfer my screenshots and video captures without removing the SD card.
