Every once in a blue moon I get a notification and am reminded Bluesky still exists. I primarily open Threads, Instagram, and YouTube for socials these days. Maybe I'll try more here again.

Today is yet another bad day for the technology and gaming industries. My thoughts and prayers for all those impacted by layoffs.

Let's talk about options! Two great options: 1. The options pattern in .NET. Type safety, separation of concerns, and an extension library makes life easier. 2. The options to read about it! I'm blogging on my own .com, the EDJE blog, Medium, and devto! victorfrye.com/blog/posts/d...

Okay. So now I have a blog, but I have no way of knowing who reads said blog? I need to implement tracking and cookies, don't I? And write more stuff. And play video games

Apparently PowerPoint makes for a good blog banner image generator. I'm really happy with how this turned out: Spoilers: I'm starting with writing about Aspire!

Victor Frye @victorfrye.com · 04/05/2025

Wrote my first blog post today. Unpublished as I want to edit it and get some feedback. Also started rewriting some conf abstracts for final wave of CFPs this year. Contentful weekend so far.

We have the answer! #GTA6 will be coming May 26, 2026. Yes, 2026, not 2025. Excited to see all the bets collected on today. And looking forward to other games finally knowing when they can release this fall through next spring.

Screen capture of Rockstar Games post about Grand Theft Auto VI. It reads as follows:

Grand Theft Auto VI is Now Coming May 26, 2026
May 2, 2025
Hi everyone,

Grand Theft Auto VI is now set to release on May 26, 2026.

We are very sorry that this is later than you expected. The interest and excitement surrounding a new Grand Theft Auto has been truly humbling for our entire team. We want to thank you for your support and your patience as we work to finish the game.

With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception. We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve.

We look forward to sharing more information with you soon.

Sincerely,
Rockstar Games

I have some big tech content creation goals and increasing community involvement ... But I'm also going to keep playing video games too.

Somehow the shrugman.com site disappeared and domain was available. Do not worry, internet, it's been acquired and for the good of the internet it will return. 😜

Today was the monday-est of Mondays. Docker and WSL issues, rogue processes causing issues, maintenance guys... And worst of all, US taxes 🤢

Turns out running in warm rain, feels great. Running when a tree rips out of the ground from the wind? A little scary.

Wrapped up MITechCon yesterday and reminded me just how much I love speaking and engaging with the developer community. What a fantastic 2-day conf in Michigan.

Victor Frye @victorfrye.com · 28/03/2025

With my renewed engagement on socials, whether passive or active, we also must bring back my favorite: #FrenchFryeFriday

Victor Frye @victorfrye.com · 28/03/2025

Yeah, so BlueSky won the social migrations. Tech and gaming. Let's get socializing.

Writing has been on the wall for years, but Skype is formally dying in May. Is it sad or a sigh of relief adding it to microsoftgraveyard.com? I'm not sure.

Victor Frye @victorfrye.com · 13/02/2025

Wrapped up a full completion of Eternal Strands last night. A lot of satisfaction cleaning up colossal foes like dragons and great arks and the characters along the way were great. Oria, Casmyn, Dahm? Breakout hit from Yellow Brick and I'm so excited to see what they do next.

Victor Frye @victorfrye.com · 31/01/2025

Happy French Frye Friday! This week has been refamiliarizing myself with Docker, OpenAI services, and there's trending media about DeepSeek? Might say it's all about the whales.

Shadow drop has been Izuna dropped to completion. Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is way easier than I remember NG2 as a kid 😅

Victor Frye @victorfrye.com · 23/01/2025

That Xbox Developer Direct was absolute fire and my year is already overflowing with games to play. Good thing I just wrapped up Tails of Iron bc I'm playing Ninja Gaiden tonight

Victor Frye @victorfrye.com · 23/01/2025

Kinda been absent from socials after another severe sickness. Finally feel like 80%+ tho so hey Bsky! 👋🏻

Victor Frye @victorfrye.com · 20/01/2025

Started this weekend and just finished the main story one of my favorite indie finds: Tails of Iron. Soulslikes? 2D? Rats?? Somehow combos for a top tier 10h experience. Next, the DLC.

Once again reminded why I try to ignore football watching this Lions game... Maybe next year.

First game completion and it's a 💯 and top tier game: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown!! Solidified my love of metroidvanias. Was a bit challenging and one or two bugs in the DLC, but makes me even more upset Ubisoft broke up this team. Such a masterpiece.
