Been listening to Better Offline for a while, it was the final straw and I finally nuked my Facebook account from orbit. Currently degoogleing my online life too. Thanks @edzitron.com, was the kick in the arse I needed.

Finally got rid of my FB account. Deactivated. Will have to keep messenger, unfortunately since half my family are too ingrained in Meta's ecosystem to migrate elsewhere. Also in the process of degoogleing myself. Have protonmsil setup. It's a long process.

Apparently, people are calling Conor McGregor "Andrew Tayto" now, which is frigging hilarious.

Here's the latest ep of my iHeartRadio/Cool Zone Media show Better Offline. I'm joined by @cherlynn.bsky.social @cranz.bsky.social and @vicmsong.bsky.social for an in-studio conversation about mediocre consumer electronics AI. A classic. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... linktr.ee/betteroffline

Starting to get more consistent wins now. #Balatro is starting to click. Had much better runs juicing up whatever hand the jokers dictate rather than trying to force a particular hand throughout the run.

Guess this is how crippling addictions start. #balatro

Here's the latest episode of my iHeartRadio/Cool Zone Media show Better Offline. I'm joined by Aftermath's @nathangrayson.bsky.social and @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social to talk about how the growth-at-all-cost mindset is destroying gaming. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... Linktr.ee/betteroffline

Was cleaning out my gmail inbox today. So much shit every single day by companies I might have bought something from 10 years ago. Honestly I might just setup a proton account and leave gmail as a dumping ground. Need an email? Here you go, its fucking radioactive anyway.

Finally in the process of deMETAing my life, Facebook and Messenger will be terminated as of next week.

(2/2) It's just kind of there. I am enjoying it a lot but I keep thinking about how the horror aspect just seems tacked on as an afterthought or just an excuse to put you in X environment to move the story along.

(1/2) F.E.A.R. is a strange game. Its a first person shooter with a Max Payne style slowdown mechanic, ostensibly a horror title, I say ostensibly as you as the player don't really interact with the horror aspects.

Kind of sad seeing the people who cared and nurtured us growing up being radicalised by AI slop now. Makes holidays even harder than they need to be.

That person who got famous in that meme for spitting on willies became a crypto scammer in record time.

Judging by exit polls it looks like Ireland has bucked the trend and rejected the far right emphatically. Early days but its somewhat a relief. #GE24 #Ireland
