Yeah Hades I still gives me a skill/challenge balance I favor. Hades II is just more of everything. I have a harder time keeping track of all the visual cues.

Hey Ethan. Long time fan of your writing, and former Boston-area webdev. Thanks for sharing your story. Well written and rational. What a terrible horrible no good timeline this has become. Please take care. The industry needs more folks like you.

So it’s okay for me to say out loud “wicked looked bad,” because there’s a video that gets to what I mean better than I ever could. youtu.be/EwTUM9cFeSo?...

Hey man. Thanks. That IS an amazing performance. And stellar recording. It doesn’t sound like mush despite so many overdriven parts going at once. Even the drums are perfectly mic’d. And I like how they’re all dressed like regular guys. Imagine playing guitar in a fleece.

Watch very carefully and see if you can spot my cameo appearance in the new Clairo music video (directed by the amazing Ayo Edebiri).

Appreciate the sentiment, but the internet is Where Things Are. Obviously, including this article. I think *engaging* less is where it’s at. Like the radical blocking practiced here. Training your mind to be less reactionary to what it sees online. Accepting that It Isn’t Everything.

HomePods really solved home audio for me. Two bangin speakers that I play to wirelessly through airplay. That’s all I wanted since airplay launched and they did it and I haven’t had to think about it in six years.

Eric B. @ericbrookfield.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Agreed. Which I think means you now have a tie in your mentions. Yw

And the use of “uuuhhh”. The track grooves, it jams, it evolves, but it’s just a loop at its core, with layers added and removed. It’s so simple. “Dance punk”

Knowing where things are on the computer seems like the dumbest superpower… but it is very much that.

It’s actually even worse than that - the LAFD budget is only 1/3 of the LAPD’s. LAFD and the county FD have to fundraise for supplies while the LAPD collects millions in overtime. Inmate firefighters, until recently, were not able to be hired as firefighters once released.

I like Astro. I wish I had a need for it other than messing around.

The six year old likes football so we watch football now which is weird for me since I’m a month away from 40 and probably watched fewer than ten whole football games in my life. Anyway, Go Ravens!

I needed this. Thank you. I made the mistake of trying to watch the film for the first and only time on a delayed Acela and I was mildly hungover. Needless to say, I did not give it many stars at the time. I feel like it deserves better treatment.

Lucky you get to experience it for the first time. So good. Shō good, even.

Also it’s weird how many games can’t be played without a wiki now. I can’t abide feeling stuck in a game anymore.

Stardew Valley may as well be instant nostalgia cream for when I’d play SNES games in emulators in my teenage bedroom. Infinite fun with time just melted to oblivion. Apply directly to the forehead.
