Just dropped a new, FREE Mac app: Leveler! I was tired of needing multiple steps to level the video file from Riverside, so I made this. Drop a file, and the app levels the audio. That's it. Choose your leveling preference in settings. Get it at: beardfm.app

I am blown away how fun this game is, and that it's on Amazon Luna for streaming. This is my first time using Luna and I am very impressed with the streaming quality—it is excellent, just like playing on a console. Streaming through Chrome on my Mac mini.

@petapixel.bsky.social was playing with the Dazz Cam app after the latest update and got this impromptu shot from Chris’ Fuji Pal 2 review. Liked the photo, and thought he might, too.

My brain: tired at 9:45pm, let’s sleep. 2am: ok, I’m up. Let’s experience anxiety for the day to come while not being able to get comfortable in bed. 4am: ok, back to sleep for the absolute best 30 minutes of sleep of my entire life. 4:30am: ok, time to get up and and drag ass to work. Ugh.

NEW: Two California Supreme Court wins over a GOP sheriff’s seizure of roughly 650k ballots have strengthened the hand of state officials. Attorney General Rob Bonta said the Golden State is now in a “stronger, clearer” position to stop any rogue law enforcement from upending the midterms.

Just beat the fun little idler game, "Zero Stress King: Idle Defense". What's funny is that I didn't know how to get the final achievement in the game, so I just kept playing and getting OP af. When I finally figured out what I needed to do, it was a total MASSACRE. #idlergame

iPhone 18 Pro Max! I’m intrigued buy the iPhone Duo, but I can’t stomach the price without knowing the durability. I use my personal iPhone at work from time to time, and the 17 has held up so well. Duo in a year or two? For sure. Today? 18 Pro Max.

After 2020, Republican states started shrinking the window for voters to receive and return mail-in ballots. In 2026, those restrictions are only getting worse. Marc Elias explains why the GOP wants fewer people to vote. Get more midterm insight for free: demdock.com/3T3Owjg

It's not enough to just take this shit down in 2.5 years. We've gotta desecrate it. Flip it over and turn it into a halfpipe. Make the sides of it a dog park so something can piss and shit on it. It's the only way out of this. President AOC, I will make this happen free of charge.

I'm a dad...in Tomodachi Life! Haven't played the game in a month, but after Evie and I got married in the game, I was surprised to discover that we had a child. They're awesome, and it makes me love this game so much more. Also, it's silly that we can't directly share screenshots from the Switch.

Started up the game Celeste again from the beginning on Steam Deck. I was decently far along on Switch, but that was many years ago, and I essentially lost the feel for the game. Took me an hour to get the the top of the mountain. Screenshot speaks for itself, lol.

The game, “How Many Dudes?” is addictively fun while being somewhat mindless and relaxing. There’s a lot of blood, and tons of personality. It’s also on iOS, AND your gameplay will sync on multiple platforms (I’m playing on Steam and iOS)!
