It’s a Beefy Miracle!

I don’t love it either but they could also do nothing and guarantee scalpers snapping up 99% of preorders.

BOTW was also a crossover Wii U/Switch title.

You’re telling me I can now comfortably play Satisfactory from my couch? This is going to have a profoundly negative effect on my health

Red Faction: Gorilla

It sure is but it also lets you do some side talkin’ so your greasy face doesn’t mung up that beautiful screen! It all balances out.

Billy Mitchell is an asshole and Karl Jobst is yet another YouTube outrage peddler, just video game flavored this time. I have a hard time mustering sympathy for either of them.

Teams is mostly fine these days and I think it’s the only MS product that is getting better over time instead of worse. If you have a competent IT team then the various MS integrations can actually work well to make Teams a usable one stop for comms, recordings/transcripts, scheduling, file sharing, etc.

New features are slow to come but they do come. The insane memory footprint became much more reasonable for me when they moved from Electron to their own Edge-based WebView2 thing last year. The preview builds have finally combined the “teams” channel listings and ad-hoc chats into one tab where you can group them together however you want.

Teams still pisses me off on occasion but no more than any other piece of enterprise software. It’s fine.

Oh man. If you think game dev has been having a rough go of it lately, games media was already a smoking crater before all the waves of dev layoffs began. Now GI wants to dive back in and restart their print offering too? There are a bunch of good people over there and I’m happy they’re getting another chance unshackled from GameStop, but woof. Good luck!

They don’t always suck, just usually. The HP Reverb 2 was a pretty good VR headset for the price. I felt like I got my money’s worth out of it without any significant issues.

Eh. Bigscreen isn’t new to this. I think they understand how niche they are.

Nice. I’m putting that one right next to

I have seen dozens of systems migrated from Gentoo to CentOS by live swapping the userspace and eventually rebooting into the new kernel. A hair raising experience to be sure.

Kunos has built a lot of good will in the community with the modability of AC and long term support for both AC and ACC. The AC Evo early access has been real clunky but they earned their fans and their understanding.

So stick to wibbly wobbly, timey wimey encryption? Got it.

I was really enjoying Nioh 2 until I got to a level that was just a boss rush of a bunch of old bosses I had already beaten. No thanks. Never picked it back up.

DNS management. Think something like InfoBlox where I can have GUI driven control from simple adding a new zone record all the way up to full anycast configuration.

I love the terminal and CLIs to death but zone files suck and setting up bind or unbound/nsd is more painful than it should be.

Implicit demands are for mob bosses and boat owners. If you’re threatening a corporation you need to be clear and direct.

We are boycotting Amazon products until they make another season of The Expanse

Or whatever. Clear, concrete, demands.

That boycott had a demand attached, to prevent the sinking of the Brent Spar buoy. Effectively “unlimited” boycott until Shell gave into the demand.

This and the last no shop Friday thing seem mostly pointless. I mean fuck Amazon for sure but shouldn’t there be some goal? “Boycott Amazon until X, Y, and Z” not “No buy from Amazon for a week but then we’ll be back so no worries!”
