Saw the OG post this morning... I don't get on social media often anymore but I swear it's always the same person having the same crashout against progressives for not being pure enough.

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

They aren't progressives, they're regressives. They're just a one person MAGA without the blood lust. They're selfish and egotistical. They have all the religious zealotry, except they only worship themselves. They want the benefits of socialism... but they don't want to pay the bill.

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

People like him who treat progressivism like a competition are the most annoying ass people. Holding everyone to an unwinnable purity test and alienating allies is how we lose everything, every time instead of taking wins we can get and using them to change minds...

If you are near Micro Center you can get the Pico 2W for $6. I made one yesterday, super easy. The Printables shell doesnt work on all SKUs tho. I posted a remix on MakerWorld that SHOULD cover everyone and I linked to the source so give them a download too if you use it so they get some munnies.

Now I know none of that is as powerful as having a crashout on Bluesky but hey, we can't all be beacons of progessivism can we? We all have to fail that unwinnable purity test eventually.

She has spoken out for and raised money for Palestine, heavily fought AIPAC in a political campaign, attended many protests even being targeted by the president for it, had people donate to community outreach over her own campaign and has the decency to put cat pictures in her fundraising emails...

Whoa, this looks awesome, gonna hafta pick it up on GoG this week.

Gotta back to Dark Void for Rocketeering.

Could use more Ms Rachels as well

It can be a useful tool in that way, unfortunately 99% of major companies dont want to use it as a tool, they want to use it as a worker. And even though i use it for lisp scripts, checking g code, and watching 3d prints id rather not have it than let it corporations run rampant with it.

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

Me too, mostly cause I wasn't big into it so 2 of them never even got opened (XL and 2DS)

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

I got mine like 10 minutes after they went up and 2 screenings were already full. I got seats in the 3rd before it sold out and they since added a couple more which I think also sold out.

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

I don't even think it's a PC focus. It feels like Satya is burning down everything good to quadruple down on a miserable AI that no one wants to use. 6 months ago I thought the idea of Linux making any kind of dent in Windows would never happen but now I'm getting asked to put it on old laptops.

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

I dont think this would work out at all, the last few years the DF audience seems to have fallen to fanboyism, but the plus side they might go away.

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

I've seen this from a few people. I think you should stop making the content. Entirely. Not just Xbox dedicated videos, don't do comparisons between Xbox and PS either, prolly best to just not mention it at all for any reason outside of publishing. Just focus entirely on PC, Switch, and PS5...

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

I guess theyre pushing for Xmas buys, cause I saw it Sunday and it was still mostly full so I imagine it's still pulling an audience even with Avatar out.

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

Damn that looks right up my alley.

I will take Camacho any day, he seems like a genius by comparison and at least temporarily listens to what qualifies the most as an expert.

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

...no comment on what version. I have been wanting to try that version.

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

People like to talk trash when I say regressive and conservative (by which i rope in the older democrats) politics are going to cost the US its status as the global superpower but it seems hard to sell people on progress when the marketing budget for stagnation is so high.

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

Yeah, but, who else are we gonna give it to?

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

Why get people to be angry at the shitty predatory business practices of the airlines themselves when you can get them riled up about the disabled. Right WSJ?

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

I havent watched it is a long while, but I unironically enjoy North.

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

I remember the first game being only like 6-8 months so I figured this would be about the same. Wondering if I should get Saros on PS5 though. Returnal took a while but the game was sooooooo much better on PC so I might wait if it's a year or less.

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

As for standing apart. Yes. There really aren't original mechanics anymore but it's in how they're used. I just bought Sekiro so haven't played yet but I'm pretty sure it's not turn based and I can't think of any turned based games with good parry/dodge systems. It's usually like Mario RPG.

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

Unless you do a nuke build (which in it's own way is a strategy) there is still a lot of strategy to be had, especially in those Act 3 bosses. Plus every character fundamentally relies on understanding a different system of planning so you end up with say the wrong mask, or stance, or perfection...

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

Grown adults changing their opinion on a game has always baffled me. If a game is good it either remains good or one of your opinions was disengenuine. My favorite are reviewers that trashed new Vegas and gave fallout 4 a 10/10 now declare 4 the worse and New Vegas the best.

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

The thing that makes the combat stand apart?

But now he won't be in the same prestigious award category as the likes of... Adolf Hitler.

Doom over DS2? DS2 looked pretty ridiculous in trailers, still waiting for the PC release tho.

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

No one seemed to care about any of the previous big winners, at least this seemed to deserve every award it won (like almost the entirety of the 2022 TGAs)

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

Not that it matters to Satya nAIdella in the long run but I'd rather Xbox games get more platforms than studios get more layoffs.

One of those shots looks like the roof from the finale of Hardcore Henry.

Great name. I hope it's an 8 Mile reference cause thats pretty funny.

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

If you wanna be technical it prolly let's you play more Xbox games in some way, shape or form than the Series X. More PS games than the PS5 and more Nintendo games than the Switch 2. It also mainly connects to the Xbox PC store so it for sure plays Xbox games. It's the prime function of it.

000

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

I have never seen one single person say that. Even the most brain dead of Xbox fanboys understood this was a few million product.

MAGA and ICE and inheritly un-American. 'E Pluribus Unum' was our motto.

Im set for a while but as someone who likes to play with tech this whole thing has just been a nightmare. We can't have education, medicine, retirement, community or homes because of these people. Now they've taken our video games and computers too.

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

When that bubble bursts id like to believe all of these companies taking advantage would financially collapse... but who am I kidding, American taxpayers will end up bailing them out.

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

To me Act 3 defines the difference between a good game and a special game. It's a term thrown around too often nowadays and 99% of the time those games are missing that Act 3 that really kicks them to that upper echelon.

030

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

You're right. I just got one out and it sticks out a bit more than I remembered (I've been using more 3rd party controllers the last year or so)

010

Dave Taylor @davefpg.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

Maybe it is just the angle on the pic there but it looks like it is sticking out way too much.

Man, he tapped again? That's awesome for O'Reilly. Glad he is getting that push.
