This. Ideally everyone would have continued to mask since 2020. But the second best time is right now. If you don’t mask everywhere, at least do it again for higher-risk situations (i.e. traveling, conventions, doctor appts).

ECCC was fun and I had a wonderful time. But there was a storm cloud. When I complained about Trump with my white straight cis friends, we were all sincere and concerned. But I talked with many Trans friends, and it’s so much worse. They are in fear for their lives. 1/

Tales from the Backlog: Resident Evil Requiem (and years of well reviewed games) had me wanting to get back into RE. Went to buy RE2 Remake... only to find out I owned it and played it briefly. Completely forgot I had. Because it happened March 2020, the day before everything started locking down.

I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

I got new holes! First and second time getting piercings.

There was a time in my life when I nearly fell down the juggalo rabbit hole. They're more fun than most musicians today. Doesn't have to be high art to be a good time. I can still hit most lyrics in The Great Milenko. Will I hit skip when they come on shuffle and others are in the car? Also yes.

I have often wondered how much more effective the backlash to AI could be if focused at systemic power, because the billionaires and companies pushing them would use anything else to subjugate people if AI never existed.

As the admin, I WILL roast myself for the bit

I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore. If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

I hear everyone is playing Marathon now. #MARCHintosh

As a modular synthesizer user and a fan of Eurovision and weird experimental music, I am so hype for LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER's entry for the UK this year. Bring on Eurorackvision. youtu.be/niMKvJ-Itq8

Personal conspiracy theory: They didn't update the Mac mini so they could use it to dump whatever M4 allocation they still had on people buying them for OpenClaw

EXTREMELY open to non-games work too. Aside from my technical background, I’m also a published author many times over (comics, prose, and nonfiction), community organizer, and propmaker.

If you are playing along with #MARCHintosh and you need modern Wi-Fi support for an old computer, I recommend this: the VONETS VAP11G-300 Wi-Fi Bridge. Set up in a web browser, connect it to Ethernet and USB (for power), and it's transparent. Only downside is the blinky lights.

If you've ever wondered why we didn't have dark mode everywhere until about 7 years ago, it's because we... didn't really need it. Here's my iBook G3 from 2003 at 100% max brightness, vs a MacBook Pro from 2 years ago at 60% brightness. We are bombarding our eyes with nits now. #MARCHintosh

We watched Wolfwalkers last night, and it was *incredibly good*. Really touching, the characters are excellently written and performed, and it's got the gorgeous look only animation can do. If you have Apple TV+, watch this ASAP. You won't be disappointed. youtu.be/d_Z_tybgPgg

It is March. And that means it is #MARCHintosh.

I really enjoy the Ayn Thor, and I keep finding new reasons why that's true

Logged on to Old-School RuneScape to try the new early-game cow boss that dropped this morning, only to be greeted by four separate members of the clan who already have over a thousand kills of the thing.

If you're old enough to have watched .hack//Sign you should probably be more worried about .back//Pain

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous. Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

They got nothing to say, so they're just having a little parade. That's cute.

SlimeVR Software on the Steam Frame?! 👀 You hear that right! Our developers have been hard at work making sure our software runs out of the box on the Steam Frame! This of course also comes with several other big improvements to the software as a whole, including improved Linux support! o(≧▽≦)o

I've watched this a dozen times and every time I still think "there's no way he catches up to that ball". And yet.

Easily the dumbest half of Major League Soccer soccer so far this season. And to think, we've got 991 more of them left in the regular season to try to top it.

VAR and PRO are actively ruining this #Sounders match.

Highguard is in a game genre I never play. But watching the community ravenously dogpile this game and its developers has been super disappointing. People just want to be early adopters on hating something that fails, I guess. Glad that gets called out here.

This is the kind of thing a rich CEO says at the beginning of a science fiction movie to establish for the audience that he is a sociopath and the villain.

Once these data mining companies realized that nobody is holding them accountable, that they can reliably get far more from selling data than they lost in lawsuits and regulatory fines, they stopped giving a shit about security of your data. We badly need a total overhaul of US data privacy laws.

Xbox was getting its shit together by the end of the 2010s. Acquire studios and let them make cool games, have Game Pass for harder-to-sell games, embrace PC/backwards compatibility. Bummer to see Spencer's time end like this, but the last six years have been a disaster.

It is a vile scandal that 2 of the biggest AI companies in the world attack children by inciting them to self-harm, and by generating sexually exploitative imagery of kids for profit. I wanted to document this so that people in tech will stop saying they don't know: www.anildash.com/2026/02/18/t...

Autocorrect tried to replace "yapping" with "talking". Excuse you, keyboard. Those are two completely different things.

Despite being back at work, Kickstarter is retaliating against our teammates for our legally-protected strike action from last year. Tell Kickstarter’s CEO this is both ILLEGAL and UNACCEPTABLE

Super excited for UK's #Eurovision entry this year, as I've been following Look Mum No Computer for years because he does unhinged shit like this organ made of Furbies youtu.be/GYLBjScgb7o?...
