It finally happened, after 30 years: my ability to read Japanese will save me $100 on the new Nintendo gadget. Now I can say it was worth the effort

Life has gone full circle lately: my kid is pushing me to try Uncharted, and like my dad in the 80s I keep weaseling out. "But daaad, your name is in the credits!!" Uhh, ok kid I'm busy dusting the bookshelf

I have never experienced existential dread, after having children. I figure it's their problem now, good luck

Switch was an XB360, and Switch2 is a PS4 - not in terms of raw specs - but in terms of which generation of TV games can be ported over without significant re-engineering

Thinking that the parallelization problem in games would be solved if we evaluated everything for N future frames in parallel, and then we'd have a misprediction problem instead. But that sounds like a more tractable problem to be stuck with

Using $100 mini PCs on each TV for streaming, when I noticed today that one looked choppy. Whoops, it was set to 4K by mistake. Back to 1080p, and now it's smooth. Kid says it "looks better," too

The kid is 16. I asked him, what's the square root of 256? And he looked back with a thousand-yard stare. We are on different paths
