Cannot understand how people use Service Now all day without going insane. UI flows so bad you'd think Oracle made them.

I saved my code to cassette tape. We had a black and white TV. The funny part is, I'm not as old as you're thinking; as well as being from the 80s, I also grew up poor.

McConnell isn't a senator anymore and might be dead. Lindsay Graham *is* dead. So's Anne Widdecombe. Bad week for fascists, so good week for the rest of us. And yet the senile, moldering corpse of Trump continues as God Emperor.

Corporate management is only ever interested in "faster, not better", and all AI does is turbocharge that. Lazy devs go with it because slapping code together and letting the AI piss most of it out is frictionless to management. If you're a dev who actually gives a fuck, work gets toxic REAL FAST.

It won't happen, I don't think it can happen, but if by some absolute miracle the people of Clacton decide to not vote like absolute simpletons this time around, and Count Binface becomes an MP, I might die. I might actually laugh too hard to continue breathing.

"No-one has been treated worse than me, folks."

Everyone watching their football tournament organised by corrupt billionaires doing PR jobs for the world's authoritarians, upset that James Corden is going to be hosting part of it.

Mhuhahahahahahahahahahaha! It is time! The Rack shall rise again!

What blackmail on what exec did Tim have in a safe for them to leave Microsoft and keep their IP? Either way, this means Microsoft doesn't own Psychonauts any more, so thank fuck for that!

Boomers so determined to hold onto power at all costs and finish destroying the Earth that the selfish fucks won't even let go when they're dead.

Man I love that everything's gone to Flatpak, it's so awesome wasting hard drive space, and constantly having to configure overrides for every app because they're not properly compatible with something or other on the system, or fucking around with file permissions for every goddamn utility.

If you're looking for things to buy from the Steam sale that are unique and deserved more of a chance, Laika: Aged Through Blood is 75% off. Part Metroidvania, part Trials, part Lisa, it's pretty great. Warning: it's also stupendously violent. store.steampowered.com/app/1796220/...

Selling game studios you bought in a mad spending spree five years ago is the biggest possible announcement to the world that you're just another bunch of fucking toddlers throwing money around with no real idea what you're doing.

Made some extra money selling old consoles, so *obviously* the only thing to do with it was buy a book about my favourite show, signed by the show's creator, that's so damn big it comes with its own branded canvas tote bag to carry it around in. Financial responsibility!

Started working on bootstrap code for Future Shock, realised I'm missing a key component - game saves! And it's a file component I have no leg up on. I could create my own format, I suppose, but there could be data saved I wasn't anticipating, and compatibility is good. This is gonna be tedious.

Hunting old 1995 computer magazine issues for no reason at all and man..... Good thing Ninty canceled this banger at the time and instead released a remake on N64 with the name changed so I didn't know it existed. And then remade 2 as one of the worst games I've ever played. Top shelf.

I wish I loved Vaxis like I adored the Amory Wars albums. My favorite band has gotten samey. Familiar phrases and progressions, endless wall-of-sound harmonies. Very pop-friendly feel. There's glimmers but the creative genre-mashing metal is just... Absent.

Literally saying out loud "we're a protection racket", lol. Wow, crazy, investigating actual crimes instead of Hunter Biden's laptop, non-existent trans sportswomen, Benghazi, voter conspiracies, medicine, etc. Sounds *terrible*.

If you're mad that GTA6 is going to be $80 at launch but you bought any part of the Switch 2 ecosystem at launch, I don't really know what to tell you other than that you're part of the problem.

Technically, they’re Remains now.

Oh, Polymarket is a huge fraud that hired shills to win fake bets on stream? Wow. Shocking. Who could have predicted that one? Literally everybody because these are the same kinda fuckos that run Steam skin gambling for kids and fake their own wins? And are never punished?

Errr yeah that was always a thing. It's called Linux. SteamOS is just Linux.

So yeah Hardspace Shipbreaker has got its claws in me, as anyone who knows me would have expected. Only one soundtrack to be blasting while I salvage spaceships with my beam cutter and grapple! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKlM...

VRGE done. Brain dead. Legs hurty. Voice going.

What the shit? City says property taxes have gone up 4%. Mine are up 10%. Assessed value hasn't changed. The fuck? Really need to get on a metered water supply, I probably use a tenth of what I pay for.

Crazy that only half of Hardspace players finish the tutorial. What's that about? I get that it's a bit of a Marmite game but surely you'd know that from the store page.

In accordance with ancient tradition, our next Prime Minister is announced to the nation while standing between a furry and a man with a bin on his head.

Trump actually signed America's surrender to Iran in Versailles, are you shitting me?

So let me get this straight: the Americans are going to withdraw from Iran, give them back their frozen assets, end the blockade, and pay them $300 billion in reparations? And that's without even a formal agreement or treaty. So America....lost the war. Weird it's not being reported that way.

Got animated textures loading from Future Shock in my viewer! Just got to work out some bugs with palette selection. Got a US copy of the the game and the US demo disc in the mail, too. The project crawls ever onward.

Hard coding tonight, working on my summoning spell for a Discotek release of The Weathering Continent. Or Tokyo Revelation, come to think of it.

What's worse: London Drugs still fleecing people for a hundred and fifty bucks for a HDMI cable, or that it's not even current spec?

Man, American military planes can't seem to stay in the sky recently. We had a fighter jet crash and start a fire by Rainier the other day (fortunately not fatal) and now a B-52's gone in *real* hard on takeoff, killed everyone on board.

Man, I haven't seen a website with a custom mouse cursor in *years*. That's kinda cool.

My feed's been quite grumpy this week for some reason, so here's my MSX2+ freshly up and working. Just needed the oxidation and crap cleaning out of the connectors.

Two weeks back in Canada and I already want to revoke every driving licence in BC. Every fucking day it's an endless parade of obnoxious trucks driven by obnoxious dickheads who don't know how lanes work, or mirrors, or signals, or corners, or parking spaces. Are they trained by fucking pantomime?

Imagine writing all that badgerwank on a cable and not printing the HDMI version anywhere. Why are you like this?

Literally every Canadian: "I insist on my coffee being far too hot for a human being to drink. Oh no, now my coffee is far too hot to drink. Should I wait for it to cool? Gently blow on it? No, I have the perfect solution!" *Twenty minutes of disgusting slurping noises*

For fuck's sake, Nintendo

2026 is a weird fucking time, isn't it?

"Gitaroo Man will be available globally June 16." Awwww yissssss

Steam Bullet Fest is now live, celebrating all types of overwhelming-number-of-projectiles-on-screen games, including Bullet Hells, Twin-stick Shooters, and (now available as a tag!) Bullet Heavens. Now until June 15! store.steampowered.com/category/bul...

Good god, every time I mention SCART switches online some bore has to start yelling at me about BNC. I roll SCART cables with individual shielding, minimising connections between that and the SCART-native TV. If you can tell the difference to BNC on a 2-metre cable at 240p RGB I'll buy you a beer.

So we're getting new Rayman, new Spyro, new Crazy Taxi.....man you can tell how badly everyone fucked this console generation up, lol. Get the shovels, men! To the nostalgia mines!

AAAAAAA! SPYRO! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjma...

A company that makes so much money from furries doing this shit is so incredibly tiring and dumb and just stop it.

Me surfing the latest fab shop liquidation for more tools I need. Looking for a surface sander. They've got six! This is good. They're all in one lot. We all know my ADHD ass isn't flipping five sanders. <_< The upside of shutdown auctions, stuff usually works. Downside, too much stuff.

Man it never ceases to amaze me how easily Housemarque seemed to leap from twenty years of making tight twin stick arcade games to these beautifully directed, unsettling "nightmare adventure".... Twin stick arcade games ;-)

Was supposed to be playing Saros on my birthday, it got delayed to right before my vacation, finally went to get my hands on it tonight. Then I remembered I'm supposed to be prepping for a con this weekend. Hmmmm ... This could go badly.
