Huge day for people with handhelds dedicated to playing emulated games. youtu.be/bpTpCR1IUts?... For me though? I'm still happy with my 3DS and Playdate. Maybe someday I'll pick up something worth running this on, though. It's a really cool concept.

Trying out Zorin OS on my old but trustworthy Latitude E7450. Looking forward to seeing what it's like on a 5th gen i5 and 8GB of RAM. Chrome OS Flex ran great on it, but I didn't like being stuck with Chrome as my only browser.

taking this moment to toot a horn on behalf of the fine folks at @panic.com now that we are nearing the end of the year this year panic published despelote, Herdling, Time Flies, Playdate Season 2, and Blippo+ pretty cool imo

I really wish Gridlife was better at communicating information instead of just pushing out hype. More than 24 hours notice of tickets going on sale, what kind of tickets, and how long tickets will be available are all pretty important bits of info to give us and all they gave us was a time to buy.

Just opened the PayPal app for the first time in a while and holy shit you’d think I signed up for a rewards card with all of the ads for points & perks scattered throughout this app nowadays.

We'll see if this goes anywhere. I left a comment in our company's AI Usage Policy (sent to me for review before publication) and I can only hope this is added in some capacity to the ethics section.

Anyone wanna go with me to the Detroit show on March 5th?

Okay Rocky looks great. youtu.be/5VYsnngkS_U?... Very excited for this movie. The book was fantastic.

Once or twice per year, I remember I have a Best Buy credit card and they occasionally give me $5 as incentive to buy something with it. Combined with the $10 from McDonald's Monopoly, I just saved $15 on my Kirby Air Riders pre-order!

The RAM I bought back in January for $95 is now $240. Yikes on bikes. Everywhere I’m reading has said this will be status quo beyond 2026. I got extremely lucky buying RAM when I did.

So note to self: do a final yard rake before Thanksgiving. We'll probably still have a few days above 40ºF in December, but for the most part the warm & dry days are probably coming to an end for a while.

From Warren Buffet's final letter. Don't let the way this is written fool you: transparency causing CEO wage increases is a failure of capitalism. Governments can cap wage gaps between the top and bottom employees of an organization to level the playing field. This is a solvable problem.

...I'm glad Amazon has a good return policy because I can almost guarantee this isn't real but on the off chance I'm wrong, I ordered it anyway. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

Maybe the silver room in Mahjong Soul isn't so bad. My fourth place avoidance has improved significantly with worse players and it's such an ego boost.

This is cool as fuck. It makes an expensive trip even more expensive, but damn it’s a hell of a privilege. www.isleroyalewolf.org/volunteer-mo...?

Guys, gals, and nonbinary pals, I present to you The Ghost of Yōtei doing a 37 second kegstand.

I just played “Dear Me, I Was” and now I’m a blubbering mess. Worth the money. For a story that lasts less than an hour, no dialogue, and basically no real gameplay to speak of, the story is absolutely incredible.

From the article: “These cases are damaging the reputation of the bar,” Stephen Gillers, an ethics professor at New York University School of Law, told the newspaper. “Lawyers everywhere should be ashamed of what members of their profession are doing.” gizmodo.com/lawyers-are-...

"Day breaks sorrow and I still feel the edge of this cold knife but next to you I lay softly on this hard ground." youtu.be/xwURjEUI7tc?... I loved this music before, but I think something in me actually healed last night.

I can’t believe how incredible The Ark is as a venue. I’ve never been to a show with such little reverb and bouncing noise. The music is just there at the perfect volume.

Not looking forward to the long drive to/from Ann Arbor tonight in the snow, but I’m very excited for the concert at The Ark!

The curse of having a body that is more strict with my sleep schedule than society around me is I can only game for maybe an hour past bed time before I start falling asleep in front of a screen.

ReviewBrah reviewed a whole Baja blast flavored pie from Taco Bell today and said it tasted good but the presentation was awful. Watch his video and die laughing when you see why it didn’t come out in one piece. youtu.be/smdJy9Go9i8?...

Kirby Air Riders Test Ride is great, but I really have to hook my Switch up to wired internet. Wireless disconnected me during online city trial twice.

Immich runs on a Raspberry Pi 5, but it definitely puts a strain on things when you're running your initial backup! 😅

The fact that I had to go to the Steam listing for this game to discover this is unfortunate. But you know... I'm glad they're doing the responsible thing even if it means I'm probably not buying it at launch because Skate Story releases on the 8th.

James Pumphrey released an absolute banger of a video today. If you like camping or the US National Parks at all, it's worth a watch. youtu.be/5Us6AVVkx_8?...

It's a good day to have not spoken to my doctor about starting back up on Vyvanse because I keep forgetting to book an appointment.

I’m so thankful I have a turntable that I can adjust the speed of with just an eyeglass repair kit screwdriver.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Alec taught me that running hot water through the faucet before running the dishwasher was the primary reason my dishwasher sometimes sucked. This is a great video to watch!

I knew I was gonna encounter easily stripped bolts on this car, but I was *really* hoping I wouldn’t encounter them when replacing this ABS wheel speed sensor… and so far I’ve got 2, maybe 3 and one of them was the bolt holding the sensor in the steering knuckle. 😭 Damn you, Midwest rust!

Now there's something I haven't seen in my work mailbox in a loooooong time...

I’m definitely getting pretty hyped for Resident Evil 9. I’m excited to probably pick it up in March, shortly after launch.

I think next year I'll do the vampire teeth on my Miata. Back in 2022 it was lots of fun covering the whole car in a bedsheet and doing the classic ghost costume. Happy Halloween, everyone!

I'm so glad I'm no longer using these services.
