Well here it is ready to go

The 2 Nintendon't Swutch with new JoyCan't 2

No whim, no inspiration, no creativity
I'm not getting it.
You don't own the games and they'll DRM to disable used game sales, just wait. That $80 just gone.

Harry Potter has gone from my blacklist to my full on shitlist. Seething at the idea that this brainworm of an English colonizer made it her life mission to strip trans women of rights & paid her way to do it in Scotland. She's soiled anything HP, that includes the upcoming pinball machine.

Turns out I'm very possibly going to get my first Stern 😆
Playing this thing tomorrow but I like how old skool Williams this looks and you had me at Freres. Dude knows how to make a pin I'll love. This machine screams universal studios to me somehow.

Stern teased this and I like the look of this, I like that it's Elwin, I like that they're not raising the price. I really hope they finally make a game that has callouts that don't sound like some really bored dude sitting in a white room reading off a paper.

Programming
What I type:
array(column=>'data');

What AI autocorrects to:
array(column=>column=>'data',))

What I want to type:
const $thing = STATIC::SOME_THING;

What it autofills
const class MyFileName(){$thing = new MyFileName(); $thing->Otherthing();

And people tell me AI is good at coding.

Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin should either join Canada or become a sovereign nation. We'd have all the fresh water, a plush economy, plenty of grid power, and could protect the people and the environment from the insanity that's going on.

Then you might actually convince me to run for office.

Pedretti announced that they will "absorb tariff cost"

Which begs the question, what are their margins?
How much profit do they make on a sale that they just drop this casually?

If a company claims it can "absorb costs" that just means it's lowering its profit line which is substantial enough.

Latest pinballs played opinions below
Portal: Fun but cheap looking and breaks easily
Medieval Madness (Merlin): More pretty but lower quality?
Evil Dead: Peak pinball. Spooky wins.
D&D TE: I'm bored, what else is here?
Cactus Canyon + Sheats: Should have been stock
Metallica: was there

The future of business is to lay people off so you can buy a business that does AI so that you can lay more people off to buy another business for more AI to lay everyone off so it's just rich people laughing while everything becomes a homogenous blob of boring broken mush.
The future sucks.

According to FL Studio I have spent 6h 30m recreating the Legends of the Hidden Temple theme song and show music.

If you want to know why you'll find out in the 83 years it takes me to make a youtube video. Hopefully sooner than that.

I need to get this app installed on my phone. I have quite the recap from MGC but not about MGC itself, more about the disappointment in the quality of pinball. oof do new machines not last like they used to.

I also learned "recently shopped" to most dudes means threw a towel at it 5 years ago.

I guess I live here now. Here and Youtube. I don't care of tok is back. It feels like having to leave behind abusive family. Done that before. Nothing new. Let it burn as I walk away.

The future is always ahead of you, looking back brings pain and regret. Going back brings danger and uncertainty.

I just finished deleting all of my buckets and systems on AWS. I don't trust who owns my data now so I'll keep backups in my own systems. Gotta plan for this crap future we're heading into. I'll save an extra $20 a month anyway.

I saw the gameplay for Evil Dead and I really really want to play this machine. I don't think pinball people are going to like the type of gameplay but as a gamer and pinballer I'm all for this progression. It looks like you play through the movie story and I love that.

I'm trying to figure out where I'm going to host videos in the future. I hate calling it content. I used to run my own website but no one went there. I hate putting stuff on YT because ads. I'm wondering if bsky could work but this is still obscure. I don't want corps to profit from my effort. 🤔

Anyone have tips on how to actually land an interview outside of the US?

I've been trying for years to get a job in a few select countries and I can't even get a call. I'm on the critical skills list, I'm extremely qualified, I have an impressive resume. So why is this impossible?

I've trashed my T account and it's likely TT is going down next year so I'm bringing what I can here. Anyone got add lists? I need to find my people over here.

Being a woman in tech means no one values your opinion even though 90% of everything you say is fact and based on careful research and testing. You build a functioning prototype and still people value the loudest man in the room who has loose theories based on how he feels that moment.
