Tried to play Marathon with my fireteam today. Literally couldn’t get our team (a mix of PC & PS5) through matchmaking. It just sat there. Everyone had cross play turned on. System would just not work. All we could do was load into Dire Marsh Night mode, which kinda sucks. What a waste of a game.

The problem here is all of these people know they're in a race against the clock to get all of this done before the tide turns. And by "all of this," I basically mean the destruction of anything that could criticize the post-Constitutional technofeudalist society they're hastily trying to stand up.

I love a good #romance #book but sometimes I wish the story went on a bit more. That’s why for my #paranormal #mystery series I spread the drama of Veronica and Larry across three books. Book one is out. Book two is coming this fall. Now is a great time to jump on. rossweisfish.com/books/vampir...

I have said this for year. Untapped market. www.gamesindustry.biz/nobodys-maki...

Feels like a black & white #photography kind of day. Here’s a couple of my favorite #photos. All taken on a #SonyAlpha A7C2. Various lenses, but I’ll note how much I love Sony’s 24-50 F2.8 on my camera.

I spent more time on this piece than almost anything else I've written in the last year. Building a better, more decentralized internet is an inherent necessity if you want a functioning democracy. I hope people find it a useful encapsulation of where we're at. www.liberalism.org/p/enshittifi...

Final edits and polishing has begun on my #paranormal #romance with a side of #mystery - Vampire Detective Agency: Double Date. I’ll be opening the door for a test readers on Monday. Then it’s hands on keyboard until it’s ready for #booksky readers.

Dweebs calling First Light woke is such a perfect illustration of the grift. I loved it, but it absolutely leans into the straight boy fantasy that’s been there since the 60s. A game that dared to ask ‘what if we really invested in water running down a boob’ tech.

I recently played a few hours of the new Rayman remake and while I wasn't really asking for this game, I'm happy it's happening as it looks great, feels amazing to play, and seems like it might be the start of Ubisoft making more Rayman games.

Watching The MIX Summer Showcase. A lot of amazing indie games here, but my favourite so far is Wild Blue Skies by @ChuhaiLabs - it looks brilliant! I'm expecting this to scratch the Star Fox itch much more effectively than the *fourth iteration of Star Fox 64*

For your summer #reading may I suggest taking along Veronica, a sunlight hating vampire who just wants a quick bite and her snarky human companion, Larry, who is most definitely not her date. #booksky This #paranormal #detective story mixes #romance and #mystery.

I had some thoughts about revisiting old works in between painful stomach cramps brought about by a single cookie. Yup, it’s time for my monthly blog update. rossweisfish.com/2026/05/28/b...

Shout out to anyone and everyone finding ways to do something good. It all counts.

Any company who isn’t able to buy RAM and SSD storage in quantities of millions+ is going to be priced out of buying components for the next few years. PCs may literally die as shops/builders are killed by this. Increasingly hard to see next gen consoles launching in the next few years.

I find it utterly baffling that CEOs and biz leaders think the thing holding back their apps is lines of code. Like do they think if they could ship more features they’d make more money? Like what is left? Is one more button in Lightroom going to justify Adobe’s AI budget? Seriously.

I will say, First Light has one of the biggest guffaw moments I have had in a modern video game. People forget how much of Hitman was a comedy game and 007 carries that forward.

Epic Games is the poster child for “why you shouldn’t let your CEO do stupid stuff unchecked.”

A few frames of other people’s dogs. #photography #Sony A7C2 w/ Sigma 20-200.

I also don't mind the "bubble." When I watch ESPN I don't feel cheated because they don't give time to people who don't like sports to talk about why I'm dumb for liking sports.

A while back, we started using the parental control features in iOS for a family elder, which has worked quite well. I don’t know why they don’t just have an actual “Elder Controls” feature set. We need to be able to block them from slopaganda on Facebook, too. Or stop the email forwards?

Visiting Klamath Falls, Oregon this holiday weekend. Took a few #photographs today on my #Sony A7C2 with the Sigma 20-200. It remains a great travel lens. I’d recommend it to anyone.

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

more politicians should have to confront people carrying enormous banners telling them to eat shit great work everyone, keep it up

multiple things can be true at once: 1) there shouldn't be billionaires 2) since there ARE, it's interesting to see one spending money on being an ocean nerd in the name of science, instead of feeding us to machines and destroying democracy 3) valve's 30% cut of steam sales is too high

man I would prefer not to have corrupt lunatics and opportunistic nutjobs in charge of every goddamn thing

Trying a new strategy to stay sane while consuming social media: open the app just long enough to get a sense for whether or not people are celebrating that It finally happened, but immediately close the app if It has not

My camera bag pin collection finally feels complete. This is the best a #Wandrd bag can possibly look in my opinion.

As you plan your #summervacation maybe save some room in your bag for a sun-hating vampire who just wants a quick bite? Vampire Detective Agency is a mix of romance, mystery, and stakes. Perfect for the beach. Just keep Veronica out of the sun. #Booksky #paranormal #romance

Didn’t get very far with my photos at judging tonight at #PDXSquared #photography contest. Got a craft nomination for best black and white, but no win. But my wife got honorable mention for best Portlandia photo! 🥳

Out in #Portland this morning shooting for the #PDXSquared #photography contest. Started okay, but just kept getting grayer and wetter as time went on. Between recent life events and the weather - my creative juices ran out quickly. Snagged a few pictures before we stopped for lunch.

Out in #Portland this weekend shooting for the #PDXSquared #photography contest. Last night the weather was dreadful. Hoping for better weather this morning.

2026 is filled with headlines like "Right Wingers cheer as Jessica Goodperson, 25 was brutally murdered by Timothy Evil, 45" and there's a picture of Jessica Goodperson smiling with a bunch of orphan children and then a picture of Timothy Evil doing the Kubrick stare in a swastika t-shirt

15k words into the final book of my X-Files inspired supernatural thriller trilogy and just like the first two books the process has been rough. I dunno why. Just is. At this point, I've just accepted that my first draft is going to be godawful.

Bro, why does he look like Bryan Johnson - the weirdo de-gaining billionaire

“Alright team, the community REALLY didn’t like our live service initiative. What’s our next big move to win back the hearts and minds of gamers?”

It finally happened. A 4k movie I preordered didn’t get shipped timely. I’m on the backorder list. The shortages finally got me. Feels appropriate that the film that it happened on was… FIGHT CLUB. An anti-capitalism film. 😂

Took a chance and ran a sale + ads over Mother's Day. Appears to have worked out! Sold 20 copies of my vampire detective paranormal romance #book. Real challenge is converting some of those folks to fans. Currently at 11 pre-orders for the next book and would love to see that number closer to 30.

Doing something a little bit different this year when it comes to sharing photos...

I'm in youtu.be/yedJOylFOtg?...

The more familiar you are with the inside of a Cybertruck, the less familiar you are with the inside of a woman.

there are days where, for a variety of reasons, i really can't post what i'm thinking because [REDACTED] and if i did post [REDACTED] and honestly in this economy i just can't. so [REDACTED] i guess.

Man, it's difficult to keep my composure when talking about the negative impacts Gen AI has had on this industry - from shortages, to lay-offs to so many other areas. It really winds me up making it difficult to even discuss. :\ I really really dislike it.

SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, May 16 is the Beaverton City Library Local Author Fair! Come meet 35 local authors. You might just find your next favorite book! www.beavertonlibrary.org/362/Local-Au...

The Fifth Element is an important film to me because there was an established 'look' to sci-fi at the time, and this movie came along and was like "hey, did you know sci-fi can also look like THIS??" and it was kinda mindblowing.
