There you have it, Shacknews. Your Evening Reading for January 8, 2026. Just a heads up that we were not able to record an episode of This Week in Switch 2 because I have been sick all week. Same goes for the January episode of Game Trader Live. I am on the mend and hope to have both videos going live early next week if my voice can hold up. Thanks for your understanding.
