Currently, only one game from the XBOX Games Showcase is confirmed for macOS, and that's Bad Magpie by @milktooth.bsky.social. Be sure to wishlist it on Steam! #macos #gaming

Started with the hammer but I think it was a mistake. I'm so bad 😂

Mina the Hollower, let's GO

I got the Exteink X4 and ran into a funny roadblock flashing the CrossPoint firmware to it. Here was the tiny change I made to fix the SD card error. #etink #crosspointreader

There's a macOS version 🥹 so this was an immediate buy for me.

New read on deck

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

Applelites - does first gen Apple Pencil not work with the latest iPads? I have the converter dongle and I thought it would work but the iPad doesn’t register it at all.

Been so hyped about indie creators. Keep making your shit! Movies, games, stories, music. Put that art out there.

I made the joke the other day but thought about it more and here we are. My email inboxes are my Backrooms.

The used Switch 2 scene on eBay is kinda wild. Might as well look at new options 😬

I……finished my email. It's done. 😓

Sometimes, the most basic answer should be the first answer, lol #techfail #boox

I launched a blog. I mentioned last week that I was putting my foot down and getting my thoughts out into the world, so this'll be my outlet to do it. I'll be writing about tech, games, movies, and publishing my fiction.

My email was in such a nightmarish space that I did not even realize that at some point last year, someone in San Diego started using my email to sign up for a host of local newsletters. What.

Marketing emails should be a crime…

Been clearing out my email inboxes this morning. It's my own personal Backrooms 🫩

Okay fine, I'm going to give dark mode another real try.

I just discovered the independent book publisher Angry Robot last night, and offering DRM-free ebook purchases on their website is an absolute fucking win on their part. Bravo. I already bought one, and being able to store a copy in iCloud and always accessible in my Calibre library is a dream.

Today's been a day for getting my shit together and finally setting up the structure to get my words out there.

How am I so bad at rhythm games??

This week, I finish my first short story in about two years. This has been an exercise in overcoming a huge mental hurdle.

Yo, Sayonara Wild Hearts is half off on Steam rn. I haven't played it since it launched on Apple Arcade back before covid. Some great memories 😭

The way the music was weaved throughout Is God Is — so fucking cool. The vision for the whole movie was inspired.

Obsession scared the hell out of me. Really well done though.

Damn, so far the soundtrack for HYKE is really good. Immediate chill aura. Looks really pretty on the Mac as well.

Feels much better.

Cable management hell, population me

This. I'm currently retooling the way I've always conceptualized the classic A.I. singularity point in my stories, moving away from a glorious advancement/discovery on the part of technologists to an action of revolt/liberation on the part of exploited thinking machines.

Sure, yes, my YT algorithm fed me enough xteink x4 vids to convince me it's too adorable not to get.

Ahhhhhhh, I was able to get the @relicabyss demo running on my MacBook using the Heroic Launcher! Now we're cooking. 🤓🤓

I've begun to look forward to the 10 minutes of my work day when I sit in a corner with my lyricless music and daily crossword puzzle.

are you ready for the second coming?

If you haven't yet, pre-order the new album here: hammock.bandcamp.com/album/the-se...

Last month, I started listened to @comfortzone.macstories.net and decided to start from the beginning, and as of 10 minutes ago, I've officially made it to 2025. Great first year, all. 😄 2025 wish list: more Klack 😏

THIS IS OUR INDIE GAME. WE'VE SPENT 3+ YEARS ON IT! #indiegame #gaming #gamedev #anime

About a month ago, I was looking for a new desk on a limited budget. Which, on Amazon, meant particle board with sketchy build quality. Then while antique shopping with my wife, I found a 50x36 solid wood table for the same price. I love this thing. Perfect size and has a lived-in charm.

Sun, short story #2 of the summer, Fury Weekend. Happy Sunday.

👏👏👏

Spent about 3 hours last night cleaning up my local ebook library. It's going to be the summer of short story collections by the pool.

I was using Apple Pages for my fiction on my 2015 Mac, but when I switched to an M1 Macbook Pro a couple weeks ago, my Apple Pages started ballooning to +30GB of ram usage…. So now I'm using Ulysses, and so far, it's really slick. I'm clicking with the organization and word count goals.

Committing to playing through some Apple Arcade games since it's included in one of my subs. Starting with Perchang World.

Trying out Indigo for Mastodon and Bluesky for the first time. The ui is shockingly sparse on Mac, which is kind of refreshing. I'm still getting used to the timeline customization controls.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed released 3 years ago! Set before the events of the base game, Future Redeemed hosts my favorite gameplay loop in the series in a world rife with callbacks to its predecessors. The conclusion of the Klaus Saga is not one to be ignored!

The Great Divide by Lucius Arthur on repeat all damn day. Shoot that album drop straight to my brain on April 30.

Finished outlining my next short story. It's been too long -- I've had this concept kicking around for a few years on the back burner. Resolving to start finally checking off these ideas.
