Remakes, remasters, and sequels all feel like less of a sure thing now that so many devs have been gutted or completely wrecked. There's no sure thing in this industry anymore.

Forgot how annoying games in Atlanta are with The Chop breaking out incessantly.

"Pepper spraying, Church is playing crowd control" & "In the silence is the devil's rock & roll" are great lines. Blistering criticisms in U2's new single, Silencio. It takes aim at Christianity staying quiet on the atrocities happening before us. "Where did our love go?" youtu.be/SNm0-436Kfw?...

I had a fun shoot with @anastasiamaye.bsky.social over the weekend. Here are some shots from our time together in Salt Lake City. . #photography #model #portrait

I just was, actually. Could go for some Dippin' Dots while The Thong Song plays in the background.

My co-worker who lives in West Bountiful is having roof leaks. It came on so fast and heavy.

I thought it looked amazing. I didn't expect a negative backlash when hopping online later.

Reach out if needed. You have friends.

Few people will appreciate this as much as @peteskerritt.com will. Waited years for this one to finally get delivered...

I got Google Fiber a couple of years ago. It's sooooo much nicer. You'll love it.

We stayed until dark, but a storm was rolling in and the drive out was a nail biter.

SD cards and larger hard drives are essentially required now. No console gives enough storage. It's such a garbage aspect of modern gaming.

A couple from a portrait session earlier this week. Bad weather forced us into a small room where we adapted to make things work. Jennifer was an absolute champ. . #photography #shotonsony #portrait #model #utahphotographer #utah

The session time limit is so goofy. Does it just auto save and close right away? Awful.

Beginning of the end for Sega in the hardware business. They never recovered despite putting out solid software to support their consoles.

Excuse me, ma'am, but you do need this.

Much, much superior sound too.

You've genuinely been going through hard times. Your spirit never breaks, and that's admirable. But yes, it's been genuinely hard, friend.

Went and saw The Odyssey last night in IMAX. Absolutely stunning film. Gorgeous visuals, fantastic, writing, and thrilling to the final moment.

Taken under full sun, but using a strobe with an orange gel and then white balance tricks make it look like a moonlight shoot. . #photography #model #portrait

Rhythm Heaven Groove on the Switch just dropped and it's so good. But yeah, few games can be so weird and target a small niche anymore.

Excited to be back in Alaska again. Here are some pics from the last trip. Gorgeous land. #Alaska #photography #landscape

ICE is a menace to democracy and its murderous conduct should be soberly considered. But we should also recognize that these people are weak and sad and ought to be made fun of. Read more: www.theverge.com/policy/96430...

My kids have really started to get into analyzing music lyrics and I love it. We do not encourage people to examine meaning enough in literature and music anymore.

I'm always around, even if it's just for some directionless ranting and venting.

I had the game and played it a lot. It wasn't great, but it was playable and at times decent. It's messy, but it's not even the worst 2600 game.

It will never fail to impress me just how badly they lack basic critical thinking skills.

9/9/99 was such a cool day. I realized I had to turn it off after I noticed morning light coming through the windows. Soulcalibur had such a grip on me that night.

Well, if you haven't played Mina the Hollower, let me get you to spend too. It's a fantastic game.

Another frustrating aspect of Sony (and I'm sure others will follow) killing off physical media is that storage costs are out of control. You're constantly going to be juggling installed games even after buying upgraded storage. It's going to suck.

You making me spend money again?

Wild to close a digital storefront the same week you talk about killing off physical media...

If I was running Sony or Microsoft's gaming divisions, I would be trying to extend the current generation another couple of years. Give the AI bubble a couple of more years to burst and bring prices back down and/or make upgrading actually worth it. PS4 to PS5 leap hasn't been all that crazy.

It is starting to feel like a second great crash is incoming.

We had our PS5 running SLOOOOOOOOW last week and had to go through a cache-clearing and database rebuilding process. It worked, but like, why is this even necessary?

The three boys that call me, "dad." I would give anything and everything for them.
