I have a few dozen Chrome tabs open, Firefox with a handful of tabs, Discord, Steam, Slack, Mattermost, Bluesky, Mastodon, and a bunch of other software I didn't bother to close down... and the score is still Excellent. I'm going to wait for preliminary reviews, but I'm excited for this.

An Excellent rating and a score of 29,480 with average FPS of 85.29 and 1% lows FPS of 66.78 at 4k with Ultra settings and High Ray Tracing (which is why the screen says Custom rather than Ultra, and it looks amazing!)

I apparently have and will likely do so again.

A comic in four panels representing the scene from Hogfather by Terry Pratchett where Death is playing the Hogfather and giving out Hogswatch gifts at Crumley's toy shop.

Panel one - Concerned woman: You can't giver her that! It's not safe! [A little girl is delightedly walking away from Death and the woman with a massive sword]

Panel two - Death: IT'S A SWORD, THEY'RE NOT MEANT TO BE SAFE.

Panel three - Crumley: She's a child!

Panel three - Death: IT'S EDUCATIONAL.

Panel three - Crumley: What if she cuts herself?

Panel four - Death: THAT WILL BE AN IMPORTANT LESSON.

A silly man wants everyone else to pitch in and lend their resources to saving his failing enterprise. Good luck to everyone who thinks that's in their best interest.

The iOS file system is geared toward apps running on their own. To keep the system simple, users of iOS devices do not have direct access to the file system and apps are expected to follow this convention.

@brettweiss.bsky.social I just picked up the SNES Omnibus books and I'm curious about this information under the NBA Jam: Tournament Edition listing in volume 2. It says the game is Super NES Mouse compatible and I can't find anywhere that confirms this.

A paragraph from SNES Omnibus Volume 2 page 17, which claims that the game NBA Jam: Tournament Edition is Super NES Mouse Compatible.

Surely any list of "top bands" that includes the Red Hot Chili Peppers is parody, no? I mean, I love Red Hot Chili Peppers, but I know they're only good in the way that midnight Taco Bell is "good." A steady diet of it will kill you, but they're a fine treat to enjoy in moderation.

Hey, just so you all know, I love your weird and chaotic existence and I would never in a hundred million billion lifetimes want your variances "smoothed out." Honestly some of the most "I've a 4yo's understanding of the world" nonsense I've ever seen. gothamist.com/arts-enterta...

“If one of your five closest friends is an AI companion that is a great sounding board and a great therapist or coach, and everyone has that, I think that will raise the emotional intelligence of most people and really smooth out the variance in people,” Schiffman said. “There’ll be a lot less weird, chaotic things.”

This set is tremendous. The click of the power switch feels so authentic, it's easily my favorite part of the DMG, and here it's translated perfectly to Lego. I got my original DMG from my grandpa after my diabetes diagnosis hospitalized me just before Christmas. Holds a special place in my heart. ♥️

For that matter, it runs from a regular SD card on Steam Deck just fine and the advertised 100MB/s read speed from SD cards there is a hugely "best case scenario" sort of deal. Real world use is often ~80MB/s, and that's only if the reads are sequential. Random access is often <30MB/s.

I was going to disagree because I've not had a 10pm injection in decades, but apparently my pump decided that right about 10pm was exactly when I should be getting some insulin, so I'll be damned if it isn't true after all.

Yo! When he came to SLC it was my second time seeing him. He's as amazing live (in some ways better) as he is in any of his studio recordings and I honestly can't believe he's putting up a show of this caliber this deep into his storied career. I can't imagine a more worthwhile ticket.

In light of today's Xbox layoffs, I have to apologize to my younger self who thought that Zorg was too unbelievably over the top when he said "Life, which you so nobly serve, comes from destruction, disorder and chaos." Well, here we are, these douches exist and they think they are serving a good.

Share-a-game-Saturday: Pokemon LeafGreen Version I picked this up for the kiddos in 2019 at PRGE, since they'd never played the OG games and I figured that they'd have an easier time getting into a remake. Sadly that didn't happen. On the plus side, I paid $30 for this legit copy, now it's ~$130.
