Anyone on here switching to Mastodon? Let me know and I’ll follow back as it’d be good to keep in touch with some of you there (I don’t really use Bluesky much anymore) mastodon.social/@mattkeil

I’m giving away a #FREE #LogicPro template for #retrogaming #music! No signing up, just a free link! No third-party plugins required, works on #iPad too. Here’s a video of me talking about the template with some demo tracks: youtu.be/fgCu1wTACsw?...

Just launched my new website! I’ve been working on getting some sort of portfolio together for video game music I’ve made, and made a site with retro-style graphics. Grateful for any comments or suggestions on how to improve things! www.mattkeil.com

My wife’s Too Good To Go surprise order was 12 doughnuts from Tim Horton’s and I need to be in bed in 40 minutes.

My first 2-colour 3D print! A very cool #Nintendo #Switch games holder!

3D printed a Mario Warp Pipe Pro Controller Stand this evening. #switch2

Today, I turn 40. Whilst I’m far from delighted with that number, I’m coping with it by promising myself two things: 1) I’m not going to act my age. 2) I’m going to (somehow) make this the best decade of my life.

Fast Fusion on Switch 2 is incredibly fun to play. Great for a quick burst of casual gaming. Graphics and audio are great. I need to practice my steering a bit more though…

Nintendo’s Switch 2 is the fastest-selling game console of all time. The Switch 2 has reached a record-breaking 3.5 million units sold in just four days. Details here 👇 www.theverge.com/news/685162/...

Totally love the new cursor and menu bar system in iPadOS26. Game changer.

Wow! Had an amazing time on the live stream talking about WWDC25 - thanks to everyone who watched! You can catch up by watching here: www.youtube.com/live/0WFn8XC...

Crazy updates to iPadOS! I’ll be talking about this, and more on my livestream which starts in 6 minutes! www.youtube.com/live/0WFn8XC...

Join me LIVE tomorrow after Apple’s Keynote for WWDC25 as I react and analyse the key announcements and upcoming features for iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, and WatchOS! www.youtube.com/live/0WFn8XC...

The Outer Worlds 2 out October 29 on Xbox, PS5, and PC.

New video! Making Music with the Switch 2! youtu.be/Du9pr3Yx4U0?...

The CeX trade-in price for Switch OLEDs has dropped from about £150 to £110, and at that price it’s hard to not feel like I’d be giving it away. What’s everyone else doing with their old Nintendo Switches?

Today’s Switch 2 adventure has been Breath of the Wild. First-party games run best on this system. Buttery smooth frame rates and crisp graphics 👌🏻

An unexpected benefit to connecting your washing machine to your WiFi.

The soundtrack to Mario Kart World is just brilliant. Can’t wait for the soundtrack to be available on Nintendo Music. #switch2

Next up, I tried No Man’s Sky for a bit after upgrading to the Switch 2 Edition. Not sure it feels like 60fps when on the surface of a planet, but generally it seems to play well. Really appreciate the new cross-save feature as I didn’t want to restart this game for the 50th time.

Mario Kart World is a LOT of fun on Switch 2. Played this for a few hours with @fleberdee.com I may have got beaten a few times 🤦🏼‍♂️ On another note, the screenshot/video sharing feature works really well.

Still setting up the Switch 2, but first impressions: - this thing feels way bigger than the original - the screen is so nice - the jump to 1080p is really noticeable. - the magnetic joycons are great. No wobble when attached. - the eshop is much, much faster now.

My Switch 2 from Argos is currently sat at my local DPD depot with no sign of being out for delivery. I have a big feeling I’m going to be disappointed.

No Man’s Sky Switch 2 Edition as a free upgrade is making me even more excited for launch day tomorrow! youtu.be/cgYYQwHuh-Y?...

Argos came through for me with the Switch 2 pre-order. Super excited for Thursday!

I really hope when iPadOS 26 or whatever it’s called gets announced they let us have a normal friggin’ mouse cursor. Trying to adjust the width of a column in a table with a cursor the size of a dinner plate is not fun.

New video just went live! #Logic Pro 11.2 Stem Splitter update! I try it out with three different tracks... my mind was blown! youtu.be/vMeN9B_RbP8?...

I'm still trying out Android on a second phone to see if I'm ready to make the switch from iPhone. One thing I discovered yesterday was custom launchers. I can get a simple homescreen and swipe down for an alphabetical list of apps. Better than the minimalist launcher widgets on iPhone tbh.

Here is mine and @fleberdee.com #Eurovision Ranking!

Right, #Eurovision checklist complete: ✅️ Snacks ✅️ Rosé ✅️ Lego ✅️ Snoozing Dog

That said, Sony has just released a phone with decent battery, great cameras, an SD card slot, and a headphone jack. So, not all tech companies, I guess.

I'm growing more and more convinced that tech companies are becoming as out of touch as politicians.

Damn the new Sony Xperia looks AWESOME www.sony.co.uk/smartphones/...

2027. Apple used to be a little bit behind the competition in order to make ‘better’ products, but now they are so far behind on mobile. In 2027 we’ll have the Samsung Z Fold 9, and the Apple iPhone Fold 1. *So* far behind.

This game 😍 #Oblivion

Spending my Friday night copying 2 million files to an external drive. How about you?

Sunday is going swimmingly. #Chelsea #Deliveroo

And to this day, I’ve modelled my appearance on how James Hetfield looks in this music video.

Oblivion Remastered running on Mac via Crossover. 3456x2234 (hi-dpi) resolution Medium settings Consistent 35-45fps outdoors

I’d like this, and a normal mouse cursor too.

ACTUAL GOOSEBUMPS #Oblivion #OblivionRemastered

Never made a Steam purchase so fast in my life. The new Oblivion looks completely amazing. Haven’t played this since my Xbox 360 days. Can’t wait!

Wow, the Oblivion remaster looks incredible! Just imagine the magic they could work with Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas!

Please release it tomorrow Please release it tomorrow Please release it tomorrow

It’s really weird how Apple doesn’t make a step count widget or complication. I don’t want to pay a shady subscription for this basic feature.

Any #fpl players around for a bit of advice? This is my team for the DGW tomorrow. Playing Bench Boost. 2 FTs and 7.5m in the bank. Would you change anything? #fplcommunity
