I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

I started my GOTY post much more introspective but rewrote it to acknowledge both BDS and the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund purchasing EA. This is so important now.

Part of the onboarding process to Postman now includes an AI chat bot with no way to skip it, you literally have to interact with it to proceed. That sucks.

So, āOrder of the Sinking Starā by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I havenāt been very involved but itās a great concept and looks cool.

Currently not using Spotify, hoping to switch the family to like Qobuz soon (why does that sound like one of those fake video streaming services?). Instead I'm just listening to the mp3s I downloaded between 1998 and 2009, they still work!

A friend of my parents supplied us with our family's first PC and many more after that. I've been a software developer for 20 years now. That man went home from the hospital today on comfort care likely to die in the next few weeks. I'm going to him tomorrow to tell him what he meant to me.
