GO HABS GOOOOO!

Time to convert my arcade machine over to NixOS. Does this make sense considering I have a working CachyOS setup on it already? No, but something making sense has never stopped me before. Though it will never stop feeling odd firing up Visual Studio to update my NixOS setup to handle new hosts.

one of my favorite parts of Heated Rivalry fandom is people who have never experienced a Canadian Tire irl discovering Canadian Tire lmao

The house is so much quieter now with 3 of the puppies doing well in their new homes. Just little Mochi is left and will be here for a few months and is staying in my family. She's the runt of the group, quiet and unassuming, very sweet.

Playing Overwatch and Blizzard continues to randomly send me into games all over the world, but mostly GMEC2, Google's datacenters in the Middle East. I'm still having fun, even with my ping at 180ms. Maybe I'll pick up a little bit of Arabic this way like I learned a tiny bit of Russian from Quake.

Raising the price to triple the amount is complete insanity, and you can just bet the next thing to happen is that they will revoke lifetime plex passes at some point in the future. I bought this when it was about $100 and I felt ripped off at the time. JELLYFIN. www.plex.tv/blog/new-lif...

Canadians, one of the most important things you can do is send a letter to your MP about this. This would be the end of privacy for Canadians: dontsurveil.me/c22.html

Fellow gamedevs, please make sure that everything that you receive as input from your players is sanitized and none of it is directly passed to... say, a mysql database. Accidentally bumped into a game that can easily be exploited by changing your Steam name to cause all sorts of havoc.

It's so weird to me on Bsky that you could make a post offering the cure for cancer and there will still be a few weirdos that will block you. Anytime a post of mine escapes my usual circles, it's always followed by some blocks. Gotta imagine it's because I popped up in someone's Discover feed.

Super excited to show my latest VRChat world: a 1:1 recreation of Mario Bros. Plumbing from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show! ⭐️ Not only can you hang out in a Brooklyn basement like a true plumber, but you can also watch every single episode of the show, including Super Show, 3, and World!

Max was just picked up by his new owner after spending the morning jumping and digging around my bed and playing ball with his Dad. Rosie is on the road to Ottawa to her new family. I'm so sad but knowing our pups are going to make so many people happy eases that pain a bit.

First of my puppies to leave today was Piggy, which the 7 year old Columbian girl receiving her named Lilo. Tried to get her to play with her siblings before she was picked up but all she wanted was to sleep on me. She looked so scared when we have her over. I cried a bit right at the end.

Habs playoff hockey game tonight. I walked outside to take out the trash and can hear the city singing the Canadian national anthem in the streets in NDG. GO HABS GO!

Cleveland Browns announce their schedule for this upcoming season doing a parody of one of the original Street Fighter II strategy VHS tapes: v.redd.it/mepy1suco71h1

I've got a work meeting to run in about an hour and there's no way this hockey game gets done before then. :/

lol. lmao even.

Dear Blizzard, I am playing Overwatch from Canada. I'm not sure why you are pushing me to games on GMEC2 (Middle East), GBR1 (Brazil) and now... GTK1, JAPAN??!? Thankfully even with a ping of ~180ms, the game is still much more playable than you'd expect but like... Blizzard, plz.

????????????

I cannot tell you how loud the snoring is because you wouldn't be able to hear me anyways.

Wipeout fans need to come to grips with the fact that Sony isn't going to be popping up a new Wipeout game on the PS6. Accept your fate and join the rest of us on BallisticNG.

When given two identical datasets, Copilot will invent fake differences. It's important to remember, if you ask "AI" to analyse data, that data is just part of its input when it generates output text. The rest comes from existing human analysis of completely unrelated data, ripped from the web.

I wonder if someday we'll look back on all this AI stuff and see it like we see cigarettes now - a dangerous, addictive product pushed by billionaires and massive corporations to extract more money and subscriptions out of people. Will we look at Gemini and Claude ads like we do Joe Camel ads now?

Just arrived today, two CDROM #FOIA releases from the FBI, one on the group Masters of Downloading and one on Captain Midnight who hit HBO with a broadcast signal intrusion in 1986.

I once worked on a dancing game for the Wii. I remember needing to play through all 25 songs perfectly in 4 player mode so that we could properly build the final shaders for the game that would be on disc. The QA lead and I each holding two wiimotes dancing from 3am to 5am. Those were the days.

Playing Overwatch last night and noticed my ping was at 200ms and discovered I was on the Middle East servers. Someone asked me where I was from, I said Canada. Someone responded with "labubu?" so I responded with "habibi?" The entire lobby responded with "habibi!" or "welcm habibi!"

You know you're about to have an interesting game of Overwatch when you see your teammates annnnnd... (They were a fun bunch.)

In two weeks, my puppies will all be rehomed to their new families. Max will be going to a man in the city with two cats. Lilo going to a Columbia family with a 7 year old daughter that just found out the puppy is her birthday present. She cried tears of joy and looked so happy holding her.

Not that anyone needs yet another reason to steer clear of Microsoft, but VSCode now adds Copilot as a co-author of all your commits, regardless if you used Copilot. This was added silently as a default. This is some next level insanity.

GO HABS GOOOOO!

Um, Ubuntu, are you sure that apparmor is being upgraded to 4.0.1 or...?

Random memory of being a kid hanging out at a video store, flirting with the manager behind the counter and spending all day there on the arcade version of Super Street Fighter II, a quarter on a string taped to the coin eject button. She knew, didn't care. Wonder where you are now, Lisa.

I guessed it would be some grey crocs and I wish I was right.

The puppy hydra is getting eepy.
