Had to dig a deeper hole for the sump pump today and try to keep more water from collecting on the side of the house. I think I was successful but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to completely tense up every time I hear the rain getting heavier. 18 hours or so left until the storm passes.

Anyway as the year draws to a close, a reminder that in 2023 Microsoft AI's CEO said that "LLM hallucinations will be largely eliminated by 2025".

My living room flooded. Not evacuation levels or anything but I've spent most of the day so far acquiring sump pumps and sand bags and trying to keep water off the side of the house. Lots of hole pumping happening out here.

I gotta find a crib for a toddler that this two-year-old won’t just climb out of in the middle of the night. You’d think that would be a thing, right? Weirdly tricky to search for these days, it’s almost like searching for anything on the internet has become a minefield of sponsorships and scams.

Titanfall 2's campaign is nothing short of a masterpiece, and what a gift it was for all of us.
Such heart, incredible design, impeccable mechanics.
Nearly ten years later it more than holds up, it remains arguably the pinnacle of the genre.
If you've never played it, please do so.

I keep trying to go back to Tron Ares and see if I can make my way through it but I get like... four or five minutes further in before getting disgusted by some aspect of it and turning it off again. At this rate I figure I'll have seen the entire movie by sometime in early 2027.

Who coined "Metroidvania"? It wasn't @jparish.bsky.social, and he'll be the first to tell you. Besides, there are far more interesting questions, like: How did it spread? Evolve? And what's it got to do with rickrolling?
Watch til the end for a post-credits sting.

Been sitting in a Steelcase Gesture for the past year or so but I haven't moved it out to the garage yet so I've been sitting in the dumb gaming chair that I replaced when I bought the Gesture and ya know what? I'm pretty sure this garbage-ass gaming chair is way better.

Early Access and the way they managed their community across all their updates helped humanize that team in ways that only helped Baldur’s Gate 3, weird for the studio to be so willing to throw all that goodwill away.

I remember playing the "half the roster missing" version of MK3. Sega Channel was weird.
As part of our project to preserve the history of Sega Channel, we have recovered OVER 100 new Sega Channel ROMs, including the legendary lost game Garfield: Caught in the Act - The Lost Levels.
