Being neutral suited them better anyway.

Kneesocks is the cutest and most relatable.

Potentially controversial opinion: Depeche Mode's Violator would be a better album without the interludes.

My Monday has been less disappointing than I imagined, but still not particularly hopeful either.

I can hardly wait for another week of disappointments!

I'm gonna assume that today was the last +20°C day of 2025.

My dad doesn't know how to use Signal so he just emails me instead. Guess that works too. At least I don't have to install WhatsApp to message him.

I am once again trying out the Apple Mail.app and I am once again being disappointed by it.

I want to spend the rest of my life doing absolutely nothing but listening to music.

Starting off my weekend with an intense desire to flip over a desk or two.

PoE-powered NAS is a pretty wild concept. Although to be fair, the most annoying part of my Synology isn't the need to plug in a power cable, so this might not be Ubiquiti solving a problem as much as they're just flexing.

My Apple Watch's battery capacity is down to 76%. No wonder it can't survive through the day anymore.

Mattaku Saikin no Tantei to Kitara was fun. A hidden gem of the season.

Wordle 1,551 4/6* ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟨🟩⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Annoying one to guess.

I hate how the Borderlands 4 troubleshooting guide not only suggests turning on upscaling, but it tells to use the Performance preset, AND turn on frame generation. You're even supposed to use DLSS and frame generation on an RTX 4090. Oh, and on an RTX 5090 too. Good lord.

I'm starting to believe that the problem with the UK is the UK.

So far Liquid Glass isn’t as Liquid Ass as I was fearing — but it most certainly does not look beautiful. Everything has this toy-like effect to it now.

Going to update my iPad to iPadOS 26 and sit out the macOS and iOS updates for a while. There's also a non-zero chance that I'll only upgrade to iOS 26 when I get a new phone.

Did they really murder that many women in 1947 Los Angeles?

L.A. Noire is a lot more enjoyable to play after installing a patch that enables playing at more than 30 FPS. Unfortunately it makes the car steering quite sensitive, but it's a small price to pay.

Important update for the #StopKillingGames campaign: www.reddit.com/r/Sto...

Wordle 1,547 2/6* 🟨🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well that is a thing that just happened.

Swift Testing? I wasn't aware that this was a thing. Glad that they're making changes though. In my experience, writing tests for SwiftUI / Cocoa has been awful, and XCTest UI testing is especially bad.

I'm starting to believe that all publicity is in fact not good publicity.

Considering how often I see Japanese travel videos visit the Moomin Museum with high view counts, I imagine this is money well spent. Also you could probably offset the costs by just bringing a suitcase full of Moomin mugs to scalp.

Pretty impressive how the Charlie Kirk shooter was unmasked, nailed a single shot from 130 metres away to the neck during a crowded event, immediately bolts, jumps off the fucking roof, runs into the forest, dumps his gun, and the authorities are like "Uhhh, we think he's college-aged?"

The shit they find in the home of hoarders. yle.fi/a/74-20182371

I tried playing my guitar to the metronome yesterday and the only thing consistent about my timing was the inconsistency.

Silksong doesn't seem that greatly appreciated considering how awaited it was. Basically one in four wouldn't recommend it to other players. I sorta expected it to be Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam.

Why is Wikipedia shaming Mars' satellites?

Can't wait for everyone to complain about 44.1 kHz, as if they could possibly tell the difference between 44.1 kHz and 192 kHz sampling.

The iPhone 17 Pro is a lot less exciting once I heard that we get the version with the smaller battery in Europe.

My prediction is that the iPhone 17 Air is going to undersell both the iPhone 17 and the 17 Pro by a wide margin. An average consumer will go into a store, see that it's $200 more, that it has less cameras and buy the cheaper one. It's thin, but all iPhones are thin. Mine's thinner than my car key.

Whenever I upgrade from my iPhone 14 Pro, which is hopefully still this year, I think the biggest upgrade that I'll get is the switch from Lightning to USB-C. Not that Lightning is a massive issue for me since I charge my phone wirelessly at home, but it's a pain while traveling.

I had a three-minute downtime on my web service while I was asleep and it turns out it was caused by my switch restarting for an auto-update. The dangers of self-hosting.

Hell yeah. I think I only have one more remaining achievement left in base FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE, and it's the annoying prototype weapon one. Not sure if I can even accomplish that.

macOS Tahoe is optimized for raiding Onyxia.

I wasn't aware that companies actually actively go around DMCA'ing cover art on MusicBrainz / Cover Art Archive. Also they did a pretty bad job since the digital version of the album still has the front cover image.

Relatable.

Girls und Panzer das Finale 4 watched. While Keizoku was unfortunately destined to lose due to not being the protagonist team, they really made them a fearsome opponent. A lot of Finnservice too. The voice actors did a pretty good job at pronouncing "pesäpallo", "mölkky" and "vihta" too.

Washing laundry at night because I've lost control of my life.

I'm playing FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE with Japanese audio and English text and the scripts are so different. I think my favourite bit of the original script is when Cloud does a confused ああ… when faced with the kanji on Corneo's building, and then does an excited ああ！ when Aerith reads it out loud.

Kills me on the inside that we're only two years away from the 20th anniversary of Portal and Team Fortress 2.

It's somewhat concerning when a software company's device policy is "just code on your personal computer". Just exactly how limited are your budgets? And do you have any safeguards against people having your company IP located on the same drive as a pirated copy of Adobe Photoshop?

Tifa's black outfit looks really nice.

I decided to give FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE hard mode a chance and managed to beat the boss that gave me the most grief during my first playthrough: that little bitch Hell House. Only took a single retry this time. Either I've learned to play the game or I've improved my materia game.

My Mac Studio is already like 3½ years old and it doesn't feel the slightest bit old. A new one would have an additional 4 GB of RAM and 2x the multi-core performance, but I'd need to be using it for making money to actually need that.

You can tell that I'm not an AI since I don't post with an em dash – I post with an en dash.
