My Star Wars Galactic Racer character answering the phone: "You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel"
My character in Star Wars Galactic Racer. He's wearing a half cape but the texture makes it look like a towel.

Some good news for a change: Star Wars Zero Company has been profitable enough that BitReactor has been able to start bringing back their furloughed staff Obviously in an ideal world they wouldn't have been furloughed in the first place but this isn't an ideal world so take the wins where you can
A statement from BitReactor's CEO Greg Foertsch stating that the company has started bringing back the staff that were furloughed before the launch of Star Wars Zero Company

Oh this is interesting - the box for Newage Drift says "comic line" and "the light path", suggesting this may just be the first in a line of MTMTE inspired toys. Exciting!

This might sound like a joke or an exaggeration but I assure you I am 100% serious. Death penalty for the noise polluters! Ok maybe THAT bit was an exaggeration

I firmly believe that phones should not be able to output sound louder than for a regular, phone-to-ear call. Want to watch videos or listen to music? Use headphones you fucking animal

This is exactly what I was talking about yesterday. A big problem with AI is that it gives people with no knowledge of an area the ability to do maybe 70% of what an expert could do, with 110% of the confidence, but none of the expertise to know their (or AI's) blind spots. It's so dangerous.

And the annoying thing is that I'm going to get known as the sticky wheel for pointing this stuff out, and it will negatively affect my career. It doesn't matter that what they're doing is wrong, it's fast! It's efficient! AI told them it's right!

I work in a pretty technical role and for the last 15+ years I've taken pride in being the guy who everyone knows to go to when they have any questions about the systems I work with Now with AI everyone thinks they're an expert and is trying to tell me how to do my job and aaaarrrrggghhhhh

cheap pc do emulation good and easy

Ashpolt @ashpolt.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Yeeeahhhh But seriously though, if you can get a cheaper handheld PC that runs SteamOS, there's a tool called EmuDeck which makes emulation super easy, and emulating PS1 wouldn't require a particularly powerful device

Ashpolt @ashpolt.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Steam Deck is fantastic as an emulation device! ....that said, maybe not great now the price is so much higher than it was
