Technology doesn't exist because it's cool (it is!), but it exists to solve problems. If it stops solving problems or adds complexity that hinders its ability to solve problems then it might as well be a rock.

I’m done. Finally installing Bazzite this weekend.

If it works, you should be able to explain it in simple terms.

I know the Cloudflare issue present as "DNS" for most consumers of that application but as a Network Professional specializing in IPs and IP accessories, I can almost certainly diagnose this as an issue with Cloudflare's BGP.

Wrapped up Yakuza Kiwami 2 on 11/15/25. What a crazy off the rails story. Jumps the shark multiple times and subsists totally on vibes. I love it

I want The Frame. Valve ain’t perfect but I am not giving Meta a fucking cent of my money.

Valve out here just killing Microsoft at every turn.

MrBeast is such a classic speedrun example of being rich making you become a piece of shit. Even when you don’t start out rich, you still end up that way. But also, the original approach he had of “succeed at any cost” 100% results in being a terrible person in the long run.

As usual, there’s no scenario in which these people should be role models or inspirations. No matter how many “techbro makes it big” stories we see, they’re all horrible people that do horrible things and we should not put them on any pedestal in any way.

Tomorrow I’ll be on a boat

It was worth the wait: theprotomen.bandcamp.com/album/act-ii...

Alright KDrama friends let’s see your checklists. This one skews heavy romance and doesn’t have as many action or political shows. Find the blank version in the next one.

As long as you’re having a good time and having fun with a videogame who the fuck cares about the rest of the background noise others are saying about it?

ALL SOULS EVE (2024) Acrylic on Canvas - 9 ½” x 7” With leaves starting to fall and temperatures cooling, the color patterns on this scrap of canvas shifted me right into the Halloween spirit. 1/2

I can’t believe it’s been 25 years. My personal history with the PS2 would not begin until Christmas 2000. The hype for this machine was so massive. Everyone in my 6th grade class was talking about it. Between my brother and I we had 4 launch games: AC2, Ready 2 Rumble Round 2, SSX, and Tekken Tag

One of the best. A master class in mood and tone.

The great American Corporate tradition of arbitrary goals so executive leadership can get bonuses and provide shareholders growth never fails to kill companies and stagnate industries.

After a grueling week all our F5s are updated, running the most recent hot fix released last week.

Missed yesterday’s North American anniversary thanks to work, but I replayed Xenogears recently and a few thoughts about the experience. This is a game that gets better as I grow older.

Rewatching “Tenchi the Movie: Tenchi Muyo in Love” for the first time 20 years and this movie just runs on vibes

There’s gonna be another zillion pundits opining about how it’s a bad idea having one company affect so many services that people use and rely on and I just want you to know they’re gonna be exactly fucking right and we did this to ourselves.

I literally just was on a panel about game preservation in Chicago 45 minutes ago. The response is simple: not only is the characterization about games and preservation untrue, but it also dismisses the incredible work of film archivists.

If there are minimum mandated ages to hold federally elected office, then there must be a maximum as well.

JUST WILD BEAT COMMUNICATION - and Endless Duels in the year After Colony 195. A solid Gundam fighting game that would be followed up by two PS1 sequels. 📺: Shin Kidō Senki Gundam Wing: Endless Duel, Super Famicom, 1996

Looks like I’ll be firing up DoA and Ninja Gaiden in memory of Itagaki today.

The ray traced pass on the global illumination in Ghost of Yōtei is incredible. Just goes to show even a light (hehehe) touch can do a lot of work.

I can't believe it after 16 years The Protomen are releasing Act III. The first two songs from this album dropped over 10 years ago. Also @wes.readonlymemo.com has excellent taste in video game based rock operas.

In Ghost of Yōtei playing Atsu’s shamisen songs at camp site gives Ocarina of Time vibes.

19 years?! No that can't be right... fuck

Reading Rainbow… is back! 🥹 This LeVar Burton/Reading Rainbow raised human is feeling all of the library joy. We hope your kids believe they belong in books, just like you ✨ Take a look, it’s in a book 📚🌈🦋🌌 youtu.be/gHAIjSkmnYI?...

Playing Yōtei in Watanabe Mode is the Samurai Champloo vibe we deserved. Quite a nice tribute to Nujabes, Tsutchie, fat jon, and the other Champloo composers as well.

I got some new followers recently and I want to share the love. So I am bumping the Import Gamers Starter pack again. These are people I am following that make my feed great. Follow some or all of them to make your Bluesky even better. Anyone I forgot? go.bsky.app/FE8Qdwj

Just added some of your suggestions. Let me know if I missed any awesome people who should be on the list. Also please share and enjoy!

Ghost of Yōtei has ray tracing and it’s not half bad!

Long day but I’m finally here

No power overhead, single purchase perpetual fully transferable lifetime license, ability to level up the X-functional communication of your disparate remote teams to improve their omnichannel data driven sales targets using synergistic modeling platforms, & is fully searchable with the UX/UI ever.

Its been a while since Sapkowski reminded us that he’s an asshole.

If you see this, QTP with a gif of your first ever anime!

Aidan posts and reposts hot CRT action

OK Bluesky friends. Use the code “BSTariffRefund” on checkout to save 15%. Let me explain. So, since the new shipping restrictions and tariffs went into effect my sales have fallen off a cliff. And in the last 2 weeks I have received only a single order. (1/5)

Alright, let's make it more concrete. We are almost there. If we reach a steady 200 paying subscribers on Patreon, we will start a blog (currently at 131). Reviews, commentary, and more. Spread the word!

As a fan of musicals I’m onboard!

Proudly presenting People of Note, a turn-based RPG musical, releasing in 2026 in association with Annapurna Interactive. You don't wanna miss this one, folks. (Reposted with fixed trailer!)

The answer to why people think sex scenes in pop culture are unnecessary is that we as a society scorn people who practice the craft of making them good, and also scorn the very concept that it is a craft to begin with. It is, very frankly, a skill issue.

The opening of Fate Samurai Remnant is nostalgic in that mid-00s anime way and I love it.

This case illustrates how going about things in heavy handed and antagonistic ways backfires
