@joe.inkle.co I just read the Feb 2025 issue of Edge and I love your suggestion in the Saving The Games Industry article.
I would love to see GDC take inspiration from academia and take place in a new location every year.

The joy of still having a sizeable local music collection.
Spotify is down so I just flipped over to my local Nirvana, Metallica, etc albums as if nothing happened.

Maybe it's because I grew up in the 80s/90s but I have zero issue with Nintendo's pricing.
I was paying £30-40 for gigs back in the early 2000's but £35-50 for a game.
Now gigs are £180-300 while games are only now reaching that £60-75 bracket.
I'm surprised we've had it so good for so long tbh.

Vibe coding makes you as much a programmer as that time I installed a no-solder drop-in LCD replacement into a Game Boy Advance turned me into an electrical engineer.
I got the job done (on the shoulders of experts) but I have zero clue how it actually works. Thankfully nothing went wrong.

A month ago Google search kept showing a ton of ads (often more ads than results).
It led me down a hole.
Switched to @kagi.com and will never look back.
Switched to Microsoft Launcher on my Pixel to use Kagi as quick search widget.
Edge as main browser.
Google pushed me past a tipping point 😲

I sure am going to miss Sam Rosen after the end of this year's New York Rangers season.
I just hope MSG honours him with a "retired number" next to the greats with the total number of games covered across his career.
Absolute legend.

TIL: Edge doesn't let you set an address for new tabs.
So I can't set it to open my home server dashboard by default 😞
Is this how Linux users are created? 🐧
Maybe it's time to look at Vivaldi 👀

Google search in Edge is suddenly showing a lot of useless Shopping links in the results.
It has immediately gone from a good search engine into pretty useless.
Meanwhile, Bing looks amazing by comparison.
I'm actually switching right now 😐

Is there some UK by-law that requires builders to play the worst music on repeat at crazy volumes?
There are only so many times I can be forced to listen to Sweet Caroline on repeat before I break 😭😭😭

The PSN outage should be a great reminder to all that any form of DRM is a serious problem.
On PC, I often wait to see if a Steam game will be released on GOG. I'll often happily wait months (thanks, backlog).
So in a way, if publishers/platforms embraced no DRM they might make more profit.

My current day desktop is so silent compared to the 386 and up I used to rock in the 90s.
Eerily so.
It (almost) makes me wish for some coil whine to add a little bit of character 😅
