I'm glad now that I created a Hotmail account in 1999.

I recently went on a road trip to the vintage store Relic & Vogue in Windsor with @simonvannarath.bsky.social and Brittany. I was curious to see what retro games and other old tech they had there, so I made a video about our day! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQuM...

We are here in a booth sponsored by the German government. Here's the PRESIDENT OF GERMANY this morning, posing in front of a game that Steam considers too pornographic for this whole country.

This has been the most humiliating and surreal experience in 20+ years of game making. I'm desperately looking for anybody who knows anybody at Valve that can at least tell me what's going on.

I need to play Red Alert 3. I've only ever seen the beautifully campy clips. 2 was the last one I seriously played.

I've always taken Alex Navarro's interpretation of the line, which is that this must've been a complete cold reading and Curry had not yet seen the end of the sentence until three veeeery long seconds before actually uttering it, which is why it's so delightful

Davinci Resolve doesn't want to generate the waveform in the audio properly. It just looks like a flat line. I tried the delete the Audio folder in the CacheClip folder trick, but that doesn't change anything.

That's ridiculous Microsoft. My email account is old enough to vote. If you need me to "verify" my age with an untrustworthy third party service then I guess I won't be buying games or apps from you.

Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...

More than 80% of kids still using social media despite ban, new eSafety report finds

The report provides more evidence Australia’s world-leading social media ban isn’t going to plan.

Australian adults can't pretend gamble in GTAVI but we can get spammed online with ads for real gambling constantly. Make it make sense.

I saw the musical The Lion King earlier this week in the city, and the kids who played young Simba and Nala had such strong Australian accents, they reminded me of Bluey and Bingo...

Back in primary school, I had a teacher who told me that you couldn't use biros to draw because it wasn't a "proper" artistic medium. Listen, someone drew Megaman from period blood. You can use anything as an artistic medium.

I turned on the radio and heard a conservative religious man say that, "males and females are different because females are more sensitive". I don't know dude. I've seen some males with thin skins get enraged by merely encountering women who are better than them at their hobbies.
