iOS is really starting to feel like the Jitterbug of smartphones. Why is everything gigantic? This isn’t sleek it’s cramped and feels patronizing.

My security engineer senses are tingling and I’m pretty sure this temp iPhone is listening to conversations even with the privacy locked down. You notice Apple never lets you just shut off things like mic and camera.

As someone who used to be the biggest Apple fanboy (even as an employee) for years, after using an iPhone for the first time in years, the window manager is garbage compared to most Android.

Three tiny games that blow most AAAs lately out of the water in terms of quality and enjoyment:
-Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip
-Thank Goodness You’re Here!
-I am Your Beast.
Indie is where all the fun shit is at anymore. Abandon major studios.

It took me a long time to see it but Joe Rogan is just Tim (the tool man) Taylor but in podcast form.

As someone who grew up concurrent to the inter et and has since studied its history in depth, its hilarious to watch PC hardware makers do the same hackey shit that didn't work the first time when it comes to AI.

In the world of gaming, all the cool shit is starting to happen in the underground. Thriving private online communities for so many beloved titles, many of which have received huge QOL upgrades as well. And most easily accessible from something like a Steam deck. Or your laptop.

Years ago I solidified my top three favorite games list. It is and remains:
1. GTA V
2. Breath of the Wild
3. Pokemon Crystal
But now I must add a second parallel list for "Games I haven't stopped coming back to since my first playthrough":
1. Quake 1
2. Wolfenstein TNO & TNC
3. Splinter Cell
1. GTA V
2. Breath of the Wild
3. Pokemon Crystal

All I want from @playtonicgames.com is a 3D game with the charm and love of Yookah Laylee. It doesn't have to be a platformer, as long as it has that level of enjoyment.
I wonder if the lads are familiar with Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip. That's the kind of charm a new 3D game needs.

The thing about mental health disorders (bipolar et al) is they don't have as narrow a path to being lethal as other diseases. Most times they win by making you delete yourself outright. But other times they can drive you to ruin your quality of life so bad that you still end up in an early grave.

2025 my disease almost finally won and killed me. A few times.
2026 we're making sure it never has another chance.

Found out today my former best friend is becoming the proud Nazi, er I mean MAGA next door. The one who yelled at me for calling everyone Nazis two weeks before Elmo did the salute.
Can't wait for the future family photos in the neatly ironed party uniform, shoes polished, saluting the dear leader
