Half-Life Alyx standalone on Steam Frame is pretty cool

The starting area from Half-Life Alyx with the windows you can write on with dry erase markers, running standalone on Steam Frame. I've written "This is running on my face" on the window.

Control is a 2019 action-adventure game developed by Remedy Entertainment. It follows Jesse Faden, the new Director of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), a secret U.S. government agency that investigates and contains phenomena that violate the normal laws of reality. As Jesse, the player explores-

I legitimately had a crashout rant tonight about how cool ambitious competitive games consistently get completely overshadowed by samey idle games.

UPS: "Your package containing your new Steam Controller will arrive on Tuesday" Also UPS: "We received your package last Thursday and have done fuck all with it since then" Frankly I do not expect it to get here by Tuesday

Got this email from Google today (full thing in alt text). Y'know, a few months back my phone asked me about switching Assistant over to Gemini. I gave it a fair try, and attempted to set a timer, something I have Assistant do a lot. Gemini couldn't do it. Immediately switched back to Assistant.

We’re writing to let you know that the Google Assistant on your mobile device is being discontinued, and Gemini—our next-generation AI-powered assistant—is now the assistant experience on Android.1
What This Means for Your Mobile Device
As we transition our mobile experience to Gemini, Google Assistant will no longer be available on your mobile device. We will begin removing access to Google Assistant starting on September 4, and expect that this process may take a few weeks to reach everyone. Once availability is removed, you will no longer be able to use or switch back to Google Assistant on your phone, tablet, or paired devices.
If your Android device meets the minimum system requirements2 and you are in a region where Gemini is available,3 Gemini will be the Google-provided assistant on your mobile device. When you invoke your assistant, for example, by saying “Hey Google” or long-pressing your power button, Gemini will appear instead of the previous Google Assistant.
Changes to Accessories and Paired Devices
When you set Gemini as your mobile device assistant, it also becomes the assistant on devices that are paired with your mobile phone. This includes:
• Watches running Wear OS
• Headphones or earbuds compatible with Gemini
• Vehicles running Android Auto projected from a user’s mobile device. For cars with Google built-in, Google Assistant will continue to function beyond September 4, 2026.
Like your mobile device, starting September 4, users will lose the ability to use Google Assistant on these paired devices.
Google Assistant on Other Devices
These changes are only for the assistant experience on your mobile device and accessories that pair to your phone, like watches, headphones, and car infotainment systems.
You can also read more about our separate plans to bring Gemini to Google TV devices and Google Home speakers and smart displays.
Next Steps & More Information
We are committed to providing a smooth transition and are confident that Gemini will offe…

I just realized I completely forgot to make a thank-you post for last month's Basement event... 😅 Make no mistake though, my tardiness does not reflect the appreciation I have for all the DJs who have played in the Basement, and all our attendees too. ❤️ Next Basement is, uh... gimme a few minutes?

They also changed nameplates, they look like this now, on the bright side having a profile picture isn't VRC+ exclusive anymore

Ericbazinga @ericbazinga.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

VRC updated their nameplates and profile banners, and, like, I don't HATE it, but it's very similar to Discord's profile system which I'm already pretty bored of. And yeah they added profile decorations too. Maybe I just need to sleep on it, but at least the old VRC profile pages were distinct.

Got followed by ten accounts last night and all of them were pushing the same AI "giveaway" followed by 15 random shower thought posts to make the account look real at first glance. Will be blocking and reporting all of them. Is it a scam? Probably, but they lost me at "AI" anyway.

Random thought: I'm surprised Atlus/Sega doesn't sell an official set of Persona-themed tarot cards, like the ones you see in Social Links and whatnot. There's fanmade cards but they're kinda pricey (like $70+). I don't participate in tarot at all, but I would love to get a set of these sometime.

(1/2) Random thought: "The Art of Racing in the Rain" is a reverse therian story. It's primarily about a racecar driver, but told from the perspective of his dog Enzo, who narrates at length about his life as a dog, and wanting to be reincarnated as a human so he can be a racecar driver too.
