Watching Hot Fuzz with the Mrs. We watch it at least once a year. It’s still brilliant.

I’m tired of being asked repeatedly if I sign into apps on my own devices. Unless something looks strange like the account tried to sign in from an IP I’ve never used, I should have to manually enter a password once a quarter at most.

According to MIT News, Margaret Hamilton died at the age of 90. "A profoundly influential computer scientist best known for leading the software engineering team at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab during NASA’s Apollo program". This famous photo 🔽 inspired the For All Mankind character Margo Madison.

Margaret Hamilton, but the famous 1969 photo that inspired the For All Mankind character Margo Madison is in the quoted post.

They’re totally banking on GTA6 causing a run on PlayStation hardware, and cashing in when the new stock vanishes from the shelves. I kind of have to admire this kind of shamelessness.

The Sony that made the PS2 doesn’t exist anymore. Those people are gone. Those market conditions don’t exist anymore. Sony was a more diversified company then. Its electronics division was carrying its weight then. Now PlayStation is around a third of Sony’s entire revenue picture.

Man, the things you do for kids. It’s about 40 degrees outside. It’s 4:30 in the morning, and here we are on the 2nd morning of my kid’s Cub Scout Halloween camp out. At least my phone is kind of working since everyone else still asleep

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.

I’m enjoying the hell out of Ace Combat 8. That’s it. That’s the post.

Finally got my hands on a physical Baldur’s Gate 3. Felt necessary since Sony had revealed itself for the vile, putrid thieves they and their shareholders are.

Shawn @shawnisstilltired.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Oh wow.. ace combat 8 feels VERY much in conversation with an on going current day conflict. I guess we’ll see if the check they’ve written cashes or not.

Brought a new family member home over the weekend. We’re going with Luna. She was found with her kittens in a shed by a rescue. She’s so small and might be a year old. The kittens got placed, so we took her in. She’s a little afraid of me but she’s taken to my wife just fine so far 🤷🏻‍♂️

Years ago, I mused about idea of buying a bigger house in our town. Now you’ll have to carry me dead out of the house we’re already in because it’s basically doubled in value since we bought it 14 years ago and interest rates are revolting.

Lol. He’s such a buffoon. His every impulse is wrong. Other states would definitely retaliate if he violated futures contracts refused to allow fuel exports

Shawn @shawnisstilltired.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I still think they’re trimming the business down to spin it off. Most of it won’t survive in Microsoft’s internal culture of frequently hitting “accountability margins”, so yeah, I bet the Xbox division is being carved down to be spun off so it can feasibly survive on its own collective cashflow

020

Shawn @shawnisstilltired.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Yeah, I wouldn’t. I work in manufacturing. In most cases, those jobs went abroad because they can be done by cheap, low skill labor abroad vs more expensive low skill labor here. There’s no policy set that will bring back the 1950s, so I’d rather have higher living standards across the board.

Very early feelings on Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave: I like it. They’re running with some stuff that I feel like was hinted at late in 3 Houses. I like the murder bard so far. She’s got fire. Looking forward to playing a lot more.

Shawn @shawnisstilltired.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

They’d be get it. Neither really. Just like “yeah, that makes sense.” Career is in a reasonable spot, not that that I’d ever consider myself super ambitious even then, and we’re still with the same woman we were then, except now we’ve been married for almost 17 years and have a kid and a house.

010

Shawn @shawnisstilltired.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Okay, this tracks. I can basically guarantee Sony had no interest in paying for Bill Skarsgård or including options for future sequels into the deal. They were probably like “fuck, can’t you just be normal and be happy with someone like Troy Baker?”

Oh look, another reason to hate Netflix and casually throw shade and people who still subscribe to Netflix. Just what I needed today

Shawn @shawnisstilltired.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Sony’s got to change their approach and the sooner they stop throwing live service eggs at the stone wall of player apathy hoping the investors will reward them, the better.

Shawn @shawnisstilltired.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Again, Sony deserves every L they’re putting up right now. Microsoft has its problems, but Sony has completely taken their customers for granted, and nakedly put the shareholders well out front in their priorities. There’s no other reason they’d pivot their whole company to awful live service slop.

020

Shawn @shawnisstilltired.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I don’t root against devs. I wanted this to be a banger. But I have to admit, I’m not said to see Sony post another L. They’ve become unglued from their customers and pay more attention to shareholders, and that’s exactly how you lose both. I’m sure Horizon Hunters Gathering will turn it around

The new Zelda looks fine. Some people just want to complain out of habit. People complained about Wind Waker too. You want something that isn’t AI slop? Thats not something AI would churn out in a hundred years on it its own if you fed it every piece concept art from every preceding game.

Shawn @shawnisstilltired.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

People watching other people having overstated reactions to advertisements is such a profound statement on the mediocrity of our age. There’s apparently a generation of people desperate to feel something, anything, no matter how fleeting without turning away from the screen.

I hate the digital future. Boxes on shelves with codes in them for grandparents to buy the grandkids are is such a depressing final chapter in physical media. Not to mention an enormous waste of energy and resources.
