Tech, golf, and video games always. Music, fountain pens, baseball, cars, stocks, streams and rants sometimes. I prefer being in the arena to being a critic. My opinions are mine alone. I do NOT believe empathy is a sin.

Logitech G Hub is so bad at updating itself that I'd actually prefer to HAVE to manually update it from time to time. How anything can be that bad at its ONLY function baffles me. Considering different hardware brands JUST because the self-updating driver software sucks is where we are now.

It had been far too long since I sat in with a group of musicians I’d never played with. Looking forward to more!

If you use double spaces after punctuation in a message to me I will obsess about it and ignore whatever else you said. I start wondering if you're a time traveler, or maybe you sent me a Teams message using a typewriter, or... So many possibilities!

Has anyone ever looked worse in a ball cap?

POE2 is SO close to being a good game. But it's obvious there's a contingent on the dev team who believes gamers want to have punitive mechanics attached to RNG-based encounters. It permeates the game design, but I've never met a single person who enjoyed it. It really is too bad.

The amount of sites that want me to allow notifications is hilarious. Does anyone actually WANT desktop notifications from a regional camera retail shop?

Valve has declared that "Developers should not utilize paid advertising as a business model in their games..." and has apparently banned games that use ads as a model. I'm so here for this, the more sustainable models we can make WITHOUT ADS the better! www.gamespot.com/articles/val...

Kendrick Lamar won a Pulitzer Price for Music, y'all. The only artist outside of classical and jazz to ever win one. You can bow at the altar of "Being dumb and racist is cool now yeehaw!" all you want, but Kendrick Lamar's music and message ain't the problem here, you are. #BeBetter

Today is a 40's music kind of day. Until today I didn't know there was such a thing as a "40's music kind of day" so I guess that's just the vibe now.

If y’all aren’t watching the #TGL you’re missing the start of something that’s a lot of fun and getting better every week. Great match tonight! I thought Boston had it but Jupiter and Tom Kim just had too much fight!

If the #DeepSeek stuff has you freaked out about the impacts to AI progress elsewhere (especially if you're panic selling $NVDA) I'd like to take a moment and do you a solid by introducing you to Jevons Paradox: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_...

I accidentally mixed a tiny bit of leftover Jacques Herbin Orange Soleil with Pilot Namiki Blue and have now fallen in love with the result. Gray ink purchase incoming? (Monteverde Ritma M Flex in Red to go with it). #fountainpens

Social Media is not inherently bad. Advertising is not inherently bad. The combination of Social Media's revenue plan being based solely engagement, along with advertising that is based purely on direct targeting, is inherently bad.

Alright everyone, time to work on the inevitable situation where a player gets disconnected from the servers. What should the fail case be? POE2 Devs: They should lose all their loot, currency, bonuses, and the map should be marked as a failure.

Donald Trump (2020): TikTok is a threat to national security and MUST be shut down. Donald Trump (2025): We MUST keep TikTok up! Make a problem. Solve the "problem". Watch people fawn over the "solution". #sigh

Trump was the President who originally banned TikTok, and now he wants it NOT to be banned? What do y’all think changed?

Game Designers: Adding punitive measures to a "failure" based primarily on RNG inputs will always make everyone hate your game. Sincerely, literally everyone.
