really gotta find time to properly setup Linux Mint on my computer (last time I tried ran into issues with wifi not working)
Apple events are always so focused on Cameras, selfies, AI, messages etc and the best real world impact features are left behind. You can now make facial expressions to control the phone.
Nintendo Direct announced for 12 September. It’s gotta be Metroid Prime 4 release date right, right?
when you want to leave a meeting earlier
a combination of the Pro Controller 1 not waking up Switch 2, and the Joycons 2 being more comfortable, I found myself using them a lot more. On Switch 1 I always played with Pro controller, joycons only in handheld. Slightly annoying that the optimal way is with the wrist strap but overall better.
If you updated to ios26 liquid glass and found the clock is now very hard to read (despite being ok before) just customize the lock screen and change the clock from liquid to solid. Much better for me.
What game jumps into your mind if I say “Environmental storytelling”?
lmao. honestly I only opened this article because I wanted to see what he ditched YouTube for and I’m not sure what I was expecting.
Along mastodon I use Bluesky regularly as well, just not twitter anymore. However Bluesky recently looks most like a twitter mirror where people are just posting screenshot stuff from the upside down world. If I wanted to know I would be there. So overall mastodon vibe is still the best one, or at least this instance corner I’m at (decentralized ftw!)
Oh snap it’s here!!

if you use an external code editor on Godot (VSCode, Rider etc) and want to stop the warning "files have been modified outside" popup activate this option. I'm betting 99% of the time you'll want it to auto reload.
When was the last time you burned a CD?
Nintendo just announced the Switch 2. So far looks like just an upgrade Switch, I can't spot any distinct feature at this moment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itpcsQQvgAQ
damn this is unexpected, but for the entire team to quit there must have been strong reasons, this is rarely a "thing of the moment" decision. https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/annapurnas-entire-games-workforce-has-reportedly-resigned/
compression might ruin it, but Street Fighter 3 pixel art is just top tier. After this SF4 went 3D, which looks good but it's just not the same.
hum.... is duckduckgo broken for anyone else?
