The final WTF Happened of 2025 is live! wtfhappened.net/articles/202... And it's the first article on the new website! I made the sites share articles and images and I can control which sites get what articles. I'll fix up the new site's layout and menu later this month as I continue working on it.

I love finding weird animal-related stories like this for the recap articles.

Anyone else remember the early 2000s MMO shooters? I can't name any of them anymore, but ARC Raiders is definitely the same vibe.

The main reason I think Firefox should build these features into the browser. Give us vetted add-on scripts for everything else.

Wife rage quit AoE4 tonight. I tried to help, but she's in a mood. Probably gonna eat a potato and watch Star Trek TNG.

Happy to report my skill level in Beat Saber is still at this level. (Clip is from 2020.) I only play maybe 3-4 times per year, so I expected to lose my muscle memory, but nope, it stays with me! www.twitch.tv/syrsly/clip/...

I tried Where Winds Meet today (not just for the Discord orbs). Felt really clunky and uninteresting... felt like i was playing a wannabe Guild Wars 2. The combat was good, though... when I found a boss to fight.

Having trouble getting past some of the monsters in Deadly Delivery? You can check out this handy guide from Yobo Plays: www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_5-... #deadlydelivery #vr #coop #indiegame

Stranger Things finale was amazing, but I got totally taken out of it when 11 turned to the camera and sang "Lalala-lava ch-ch-ch-chicken"

"Best Game You Suck At" Bitch, please. These games are easy.

A friend and I launched fireworks off a rooftop in ARC Raiders as a small New Years Eve thing. I recorded it in a rush and picked the wrong mic! 🥲 www.youtube.com/shorts/c-vlh...

Hey VR BSKY, anyone recognise this one? Two different OG Vive HMDs are tracking, but visuals behaving like it's not. Is greyed out. All obvious troubleshooting is exhausted, but could be still be something obvious overlooked. Jump into @rocknrolldragon.bsky.social's thread and suggest away. #pcvr

I have spare keys for Guardians: Frontline and After The Fall (both SteamVR games) to give away at the end of this month! If you wanna win these steam keys, comment a VR-related meme in this thread and follow me, and I'll pick a winner from the thread and DM the winner to confirm the prize.

#strangerthings finale was worth the trip to the theater. This is a totally spoiler free post, but it's easily spoilable, so go watch it before you internet further.

Amiibos look so cool these days!

Uhm, this sounds awesome, so I'm about to play catch-up on the earlier episodes so I can do this, too.

The new year is coming up! What is your new year resolution for 2026? 🤔

Played more ARC Raiders tonight. Been loving the game, but I wish it was a coop adventure, not some battle royale with monetization. The players are more dangerous than the robots, and they can really ruin an otherwise enjoyable progression.

Staring at VRChat mirrors is captivating in the same way staring at real mirrors is horrifying.

As long as it doesn't kill the initial vision of the game/app/website, more accessibility options are awesome. What sucks is we're starting to police accessibility as a requirement, and that kills creativity in a lot of ways. Yes, some industries *should* be policed, like vital services.

Um actually... my phone booth looks like this.

If any dev friends have a position open or a hole to fill.... I'll see myself out. 😅

Merry Christmas! Got off work early today. Time for a nap and some Christmas things.

Hey goblins - we just released our first major update!! Check out the new Ice Cave level, with new pathways, monsters, and challenges. We've also got some bug fixes, balancing, a new tool to unlock, and more Christmas decorations! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg8X...

I stopped watching 60 Minutes over a decade ago, but this might be an episode to archive in 1000 places for historical purposes and safekeeping.

Going live on Twitch with a bunch of non-VR stuff! Browsing the Steam Winter Sale and taking recommendations! Channel: www.twitch.tv/syrsly

Found out about this upcoming TOTK x Minecraft x Pokemon thing: store.steampowered.com/app/3301510/... @tomoendlessblue.com looking forward to that boat-building part!

Uncaught TypeError: can't access property "execute", this.instance is undefined That's ArtStation right now when I try to sign in. They need better web developers pronto.

Should I kick users from the discord if all they do is advertise their "art services"? They don't seem interested in anyone else's posts and also seem like a bot in how they respond. I just don't know how to handle this because bots are so fucking real these days and all their art posts could be AI.

Finished watching both Gurran Lagann movies tonight. That was quite the acid trip.

Oh my god indeed! 😆 Is this real Jeopardy?

Here's 15 games/apps from the Steam Winter Sale which I'm considering picking up. I'll probably add more to it and remove a few, but I'm only at ~$31 and I think I want my budget to be ~$40.

What're you getting in the Steam Winter Sale? 🤔

I've always subscribed to the idea of "standing on the shoulders of giants". That applies to most things in life, but with AI, it applies way more than it normally does.

This soda is tasty af.

I'm a freak.

Where are you happiest? 🤔

This looks so fun!

This is a cracking PCVR bundle. If you are giving (or getting) the gift of VR, check this out to jumpstart your library.

I pushed the new WTF Happened out: syrsly.com/blog/novembe... It is a lot shorter this time around. Not because I felt peer pressure to make it shorter but because I was tired and had depleted my saved articles for the month. Hope y'all like it.

YouTube app has been taken over by genAI summary BS and I can no longer comment on videos.

PHP headache of the day: Fixed a bunch of fatal errors for deprecated "dynamic property" variables defined within class functions rather than class constructs. This is dumb that these create fatal errors when one of PHP's greatest pros was being able to throw new temporary variables into code.

I'm planning on having an anime rewatch party tonight, but the snow might ruin my plans. If the rewatch party is called off, I'm working on my website articles all evening.

I reverted to my early 20s after a shaving mishap.

Dog tax paid.

I dunno if Minecraft mounts ever existed before, but these mounts look cool. I assume this mod was at least partially inspired by Mounts Of Mayhem: www.minecraft.net/en-us/update...

I find your inability to press a jump button on cue really upsetting 🥲

I heard that insect populations have decreased by 75% with some people saying things about how they never see fireflies anymore. I must live in a magical realm untouched by modern man, because I still get tons of fireflies here. They're everywhere during the Summer and early Fall.

Only 75 cents for GrabMaster: Modular Grabbable Physics Toolkit assetstore.unity.com/packages/too... Worth it? 🤔
