A community I'm part of has put on their own end of year awards show last week, featuring tons of great art, an original soundtrack, and Ben Starr for some reason: youtu.be/B1DKuXBNfzE

Where are the MacBooks with 5G modems leaks have promised for years now. I'd finally have a reason to upgrade from my M1 Pro...

Planning the playlist for my weekend trip so that 'Daredevil' from the Ace Combat 7 OST starts playing once I hit the section of the Autobahn that has no speed limit

This is the hottest pic I've seen on a dating app profile, the other girls are not even close

I find it interesting that the majority of participants in the dual format beta seem to go for a "game bottom/webcam top" layout. I generally find the opposite works better because chat won't be in the way of the gameplay. Perhaps an overlay showing the safe zones would be helpful.

Now this is the most un-Hinge-d dating app profile I've seen yet.

It's cold sick days like these where I really miss having a bathtub and being able to completely submerge in some hot water

It's the last week of my 5 weeks of PTO (Dec 1st-Jan 5th) and of course I got sick while visiting my parents so the last few days have been spent doing nothing 🤒

First time I'm seeing the "Most Compatible" thing on Hinge and it's a massive fujoshi 😅

It's incredible how shit YouTube search is. It goes like this: - One (1) relevant video - 20 unrelated shorts - One (1) relevant video - 10 random recommended videos - One (1) relevant video

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

Using Hinge while living close to the border to France can bring up girls with some funny names

Dating apps should allow me to link my Twitch account so I can use my emotes in chat

Just realised I've had YouTube Premium for over 7 years now. Damn.

I managed to get an early entry ticket for Comiket 107 (C107), but I'm not sure if I can actually make it Tokyo in time. I had to wait on other things that took way too long until booking flights/hotel, and now it's all very expensive for 5-6 day trip :X

Google Keep notifications have become absolutely useless. They arrive 12+ hours, if not days, late...

Considering buying an SSD to replace my failed 360 HDD. Seems these days you can just flash certain SSDs and they will work fine. And with BadUpdate I could finally venture into the weird world of 360 homebrew that I never explored before.

In a very real way the job and career I've had wouldn't exist without StarCraft 2. This brings back many good memories. x.com/i/status/200...

For some reason the Bluesky app keeps logging me out on my Pixel phone but not on the web or my old phone and it's really annoying.

ACE COMBAT YESSSSSS

nvm they still got it

Damn no interlacing or other weird scaling artefacts on the 4K stream #NotMyGameAwards

I got an email from Apple Developer with the subject line "Let’s talk Liquid Glass." and for a microsecond I expected it to be an apology

Slightly foggy this morning

Finally playing Viewfinder, first thing I did is accidentally skip part of the tutorial because of my compulsive bunnyhopping lmao

It's always baffling that you can't get refunds on consoles. They should just do what Epic did and just copy Steam's refund policy wholesale. What are they afraid of?

Playing a 2020 UE4 game (Bright Memory), I forgot just how bad the shader compilation stutters were.

I was gonna see if my old Steam Link box still works, and found out the latest firmware update is from September this year lol Somebody add Valve just keeping it alive

Mmmmh

Yesterday I learned that my original Xbox 360 HDD is broken :( Some of it might be recoverable since the drive itself still seems to work (spins up, no clicking), but that's an annoying process.

It's 6 a.m. and I can't sleep because I took a long "nap" earlier. Let's hack an Xbox 360, shall we? www.twitch.tv/rodney

One of the best things Valve has got going for them is that Gaben isn't a poster

I kinda hate the new IsThereAnyDeal. They've made it much more annoying to add games to my list... I use per-game rules and instead of just allowing me to click add and set a price I now have to click through 3 menus to create a custom rule and add it to that game...

It's annoying how many games the "Game Audio Only" option in Steam's background recording feature does not work for.

Umineko Episode 5.

Now this is peak streaming

Stadia 2

Fucking hell Silent Hill f is on "sale" and still costs more than a full-price game (€64/$74).

video games made me cry like 4 times in the last week maybe the medium's not all bad.

It's kinda funny how Steam Broadcast is still stuck with the 3.5 Mbps bitrate limit that was the fashion at the time (thanks Twitch). But I guess it has generally fallen out of fashion because Discord screen sharing is so much better (lower latency, easier setup, etc.)

I was playing PEAK for the first time earlier and then I got this email

I wonder who lost more money (adjusted for inflation); Concord or Concorde?

Unfortunate truncation.

My new Twitch moderation assistant has no chill

Spam email so funny I almost want to reply just to see what the endgame is

I'm 100% getting a new Steam Controller. Also very interested in the Frame as an easier to set-up VR solution, but pricing could kill that. Steam Machine, eh, if it's cheap it could be a nice bedroom PC.

AI generated music on YouTube Music has become a massive problem they're not doing anything about. I might give Deezer another shot since they actually care and built systems to label GenAI songs and - most importantly - exclude them from recommendations. en.deezercommunity.com/product-upda...
