In Company First, Nintendo Nominates Three Women To Board Of Directors
Nintendo, founded in 1889, is perhaps the longest running gaming company around and, perhaps due to this fact, it has largely remained a boys’ club. This began to change for the better in 2020, when it nominated its first woman to the board of directors. Since then, the company has vowed to hire more women, who make up a paltry 4.2 percent of managers across Nintendo’s Japanese offices. Now, it is once again trying to upend the status quo by nominating another three women to its board this year.

Which Server Should You Pick In Final Fantasy XIV?
Before you can begin your adventure in Final Fantasy XIV, you’ll need to create your own player character (which is fun) and decide which server you’re going to play on (which is less fun). For those totally new to MMORPGs, your server (also known as a “world”) dictates who you’ll interact with when you play the game. Two pals playing the game on the same server can run into each other on the overworld, while players on separate servers will run into each other less frequently. Simple enough, ri

Elon Musk continues to run X (formerly Twitter) in a variety of questionable ways, and surely one of the oddest is the decision to charge vast amounts of money for access to the site’s API. As such, major firms are dropping integration with the hellsite, the latest being Nintendo. From June 10, you will no longer be able to share screenshots and videos from your Switch to the app.
