Finally I get to lift the veil on what I've been busy with for the last week. I reviewed @playrematch.com for @techraptor.net & despite some technical issues, this game is everything you want & need from an arcade-type football game. Huge thanks to @rutledge.bsky.social for the opportunity!

Dumped 12+ hours into F1 25 since Saturday, this is amazing. Slowly removing assists, and getting better and better.

Hate to say it but I think this game is over, Pacers just..fell apart after the half. Excited for next year, but bummed we likely won’t see Hali out there.

Dort gets away with so much BS. This is ridiculous man.

Oh no, Hali.

Alright Pacers, LETS GO!

Also, @plausible.io blocks this w/ zero issue. Google Analytics, sees it as "valid" traffic that creates a session and no views. One more reason I never open it.

OpenAI has hit TechRaptor's /Search page 70,000 times today. Unreal, and a massive waste of our resources.

Racing Cockpit - Assembled TV Stand - Assembled Office - Re-Arranged F1 25 - Downloading Just waiting on a USB3 extender, and then we're good to go.

Feels like what was really strong engagement here in late 2024 has dwindled down in 2025 - anyone else seeing that?

I loved seeing more of TJ McConnell in Game 6, and I hope we see as much or more of him in Game 7.

PR/DEVELOPERS! I just dropped a preview of the early Beta view for our @criticdb.bsky.social PR Dashboards in our discord. If you want to check them out, join our Discord for updates, or just DM me! Discord: discord.gg/m24Pj5Ht5U

New Features coming to @criticdb.bsky.social soon, as we also finalize PR Dashboards: - Collections - Improved Homepage

These “fouls” on SGA aren’t fouls, man.

Oh no, this is dangerous for me. Check out: - Dredge - Dave the Diver - Cast n Chill - Nice Day for Fishing - Moonglow Bay (See also, games w/ fishing: Palia, Raft, Dinkum)

Oh my god, Landooooooo #F1

Was excited to get my racing sim setup going this weekend, because I have to re-organize my office to fit it properly. Been sick all weekend, so in the box it stays :(

Scott Foster sucks. Not a flagrant.

Hell yeah TJ

Ah, CloudFlare is having major issues. No wonder 1/2 the web is down.

The internet is straight up busted right now. CloudFlare won't load, @criticdb.bsky.social is down because our DB service is down, weird issues with all sorts of apps. Nuts.

After going to Vegas for a week, going to the Indy 500, Game 4 of Knicks/Pacers, and then Finals Game 2 Watch Party... I finally caught something. Surprised it took this long considering how many people I was around lol

Hell yes PACERS!!!! McConnell and Mathurin stepped up so big

TJ McConnell!!!!!!!!

The ESPN coverage is sooo bad. Bring back TNT.

Cast n Chill is a VIBE. Love this store.steampowered.com/app/3483740/...

Almost there + an additional feature that's pretty cool!

Crossed another milestone with the @techraptor.net Steam Curator! 3,000,000 game views influenced and based on my last posts - growing by about 250,000 per quarter.

I did not expect that to be Call of Duty

Playing a bunch of the demos that I got emails about this weekend. So many solid indies.

Should have the new @criticdb.bsky.social dashboard/backend ready for PR/Devs this weekend. Still putting final touches on it. Once it's ready we'll kick off a (free) beta for people to use it and give feedback. I want it to be solid before we ask for money. Aim is for it to benefit PR+Outlets

Been diving into this more this week, and I think I've landed on the Playseat Trophy. Seems solid, better comments about the chair and since I'll primarily do formula racing seems to be best option for the price.

So good.

Winning with 25 turnovers? Yes ‘Cers!!!!!

HALIBURTON!!!!!!!!

Game time. Let’s go Pacers!

Breaking: The Worst People You Know Are Fighting

Sad to not get into this wave of @deeprockgalactic.bsky.social Rogue Core. Really interested in that one!

Pacers games being at 8:30EST is going to be brutal, as a super old man that likes sleep. That said, excited for these Finals!
