A new #Overwatch2 season is always exciting - so many tiny UI changes dotted around the place.

I've taken so many screenshots today - if you're also a fan of UI, go check out my account below!
Competitive Rank & Portraits are now displayed in Hero Select & Kill Cam for those who have completed placements.

Competitive portraits appear *on top* of hero portraits, providing an enhanced, combined look.

Unranked players only display the hero portrait, and no hero level text.

I have manually opted into Extended Security Updates. I should not be getting an alert asking me to install Windows 11.

(see the right side of the first screenshot)

I see a lot of Tracer in my near future.
It's confirmed! Hero Progression 2.0 brings "animated Ascended portrait borders" and the hero level badge to Hero Select, available at Hero levels 20, 40 and 60.

This is a fantastic way to reuse the portraits from Overwatch 1.

Digging through my old screenshots and conversations has been time consuming, but I love spotting little details like this.

I need to start taking full screenshots of every game screen for before/after posts..
In Season 14, the "Overwatch 1 yellow" friends online counter made its return, replacing the "Overwatch 2 orange" counter originally introduced in Season 1.

This is one of many examples of Blizzard subtly restoring previous UI elements piece by piece. I'll be posting more as I find screenshots!

The devs can be sneaky, but I see their efforts. 👀
Hello. 👋

Overwatch's UI has gone through many iterations, especially throughout Overwatch 2's life. I'm going to be highlighting the subtle (and not so subtle) changes as they appear!

I also have a backlog of recent things to appreciate, so I'll mix those in too!

This week I attempted to build a Minecraft Fabric mod. Never done it before.

Initially, every rebuild (with missing dependencies) took half an hour. Took me hours to fix.

Now, I have it building for 1.21.8, but it crashes on launch. It injects into a render function I need to update..

I'm live with some @07craft.com development! This week I started working on the Friends List functionality. It's pretty close to finalised, so come join me as I finish it up and test it!

Today has been a very entertaining day.

The Samsung Z Fold7 is the exact same thickness as the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 (outside of the camera bump, of course).

All they need to do is switch away from the flexible screen, and it might be on my radar as my next phone.

I'm streaming some @obsproject.com experimentation with the Chrome Runtime (so that we can eventually update the browser again).

Come hang out, ask questions, and see what's cooking!

After multiple years, I finally took some time to disassemble my Surface Book 2's performance base so that I could unplug the battery, which was misbehaving.

Now the base no longer keeps disconnecting, allowing me to install NVIDIA drivers for the GTX 1050 inside. That was unnecessarily difficult.

Missed opportunity for Nintendo: the Switch 2 game cartridges should count as external storage that store the base game and all future updates.

That way they're still useful, and you can reserve the console's storage for digital downloads.

(saves still kept exclusively on console/cloud, of course)

For how cool & powerful SteamVR is, the core experience feels pretty poor. Especially loading into games/apps - it's just your background with a little icon indicating what game is about to launch. And if Steam crashes, you can't relaunch it from within the SteamVR view itself.

I'm in the process of building my personal library now that I actually have the space for a bookshelf.

Attempting to find all 15 books of a series with a matching 2007 cover when the first book was released in 1994 & even books released in 2017 are out of print is *difficult* and so time consuming.

While working on @07craft.com it's been fascinating seeing just how much RuneScape-related software is open source. Various communities just.. making cool tools and renditions deciding to simply share it all with the world.

Every time I switch back to Overwatch after playing a couple hours of another shooter (this time FragPunk, which I'm really enjoying!), I am reminded just how beautifully executed the audio design in Overwatch is. They've honestly made something magical.

Alrighty @OBSProject.com Studio users - new hotfix is out with some crucial fixes.

If you were experiencing OBS Browser/CEF crashes, see if this fixes them - and if it doesn't, please let me know directly!

GamePad Viewer should also be fixed now too!

@gateworld.net made a documentary about Stargate SG1, and they mention subsequent work by writers, directors, etc.

* Travelers
* The L.A. Complex

I've already watched all but LA Complex. These people are just so talented.

This is a crazy take from someone at Fedora.

OBS 30.1.0 & above use a runtime last updated in Oct-2024 and marked EOL prior to our Jan-2025 release. Newer versions of it have critical bugs that we didn't want to pass to our users - we instead reported them upstream.

Apparently that's bad?
February 12, 2025 at 9:59 PM
Troubleshooting @obsproject.com bug reports is always incredibly educational.

One of our users reported a bug, introduced in the updated browser code. Eventually, it was tracked down to some code in Chromium that has been unchanged for 9 years.

Quite sure it affects Casting from Chrome, too.

Finally got both my Minecraft servers updated to 1.21.4 so I can close the 4 SpigotMC tabs I had open to remind me the order in which to upgrade the worlds.

Leaving tabs open as a reminder really doesn't work when you have no time to work on things. It took 2 weeks. 😂
