Uh hey, thanks to whomever it was that put me on a new bluesky list... neat.
Hi, new followers!
I'm Eric. I am a solo gamedev working on a couple projects aiming for late-2026 release, so that's fun and exciting.
I'm happy to talk family, faith, games (card, video, whatever).
I have bad jokes?

Update: Pretty good! Cheese is a great, creamy pairing to kinda tamp down the spice damage. It's definitely hot when it decides to kick in, but not unpleasant or overwhelming at all. I shall be going back for more.

The dashboard of my vehicle has a 'tire slip' indicator icon that lights up when I lose control (when the tires are not engaging friction correctly). I am not sure I understand the purpose of this indicator. "Am I sliding right now? Hm, better check the dash..."
Good morning!

I took a probably too-deep dive into why aging SNES hardware is getting faster than it did at launch, and why that's causing problems for emulators and speedrunners

Why SNES hardware is running faster than expected—and why it’s a problem
Cheap, unreliable ceramic APU resonators lead to "constant, pervasive, unavoidable" issues.

"So you see, consumer? It's mostly your fault for wanting things conveniently! It's not the fault of the company CEOs that supported the election of a president that blocks progress on climate change, or the fact that there's no reasonable rail network, or that delivery bikes aren't a thing here."🤡
When customers choose faster shipping and earlier delivery dates, the system shifts from optimized routing to whatever gets the package out fastest, and that means higher emissions, said Sreedevi Rajagopalan, a research scientist at MIT.

Fast shipping has environmental impact as delivery becomes more polluting
Fast shipping has become a staple of online shopping, promising delivery within a day or even hours.

One of those things they don't prepare you for in life: "Dish detergent" and "fish deterrent" sound preeeetty similar. Be careful out there!

I don't think I'm the first to notice/comment, but I love the advertising strategy for Coors Light.
Their messaging is never about taste, fun, no... it's just about temperature.
"Our beer sure is cold!" 😅 I love it.
The next Coors ad you see, just watch.
"Our beer's COLD!"😅

A moment of whimsy in my day -- was driving when traffic was stopped for a bunch of geese crossing the road.
They were in NO hurry. 😅 But nobody honked... neither goose nor car. I think a few of us were laughing. What a scene.
