"He will not hear of the small mean ways that tempered the man in life. He will not see him struggling in follies of his own devising. No. The world which he inherits bears him false witness. He is broken before a frozen god and he will never find his way."

Xbox $360 a year. It used to be the best deal in gaming on PC.

How long until Sony and Nintendo follow suit?

“There is no joy more intense than that of coming upon a fact that cannot be understood in terms of currently accepted ideas."

Astronomer Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, who decoded spectral lines to deduce the elemental composition of stars, was born #OTD in 1900. 🧪 🔭 ⚛️ 👩‍🔬

A black and white photo of Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin. She is sitting at her desk and looking up at the camera, which is in front of her and to her left. Payne-Gaposchkin is wearing a baggy, ribbed sweater and has a wristwatch on her right arm. A pair of glasses rests on the desk in front of her, next to open books and papers which are just visible at the bottom of the photogaph. Filing cabinets, drawers, and another desk are visible in the background. She has short, dark hair which is no longer than chin-length, pulled out of her face behind her left ear.

Sorry fans, Bloodborne for PC is still not a thing.

Just beat Silksong without having discovered there *is* double jump in the game... I thought they had replaced that with just the grappling hook. That explains some of the painful platforming towards the end.

Steam notified me that there is a firmware update available for my DualSense controller. It can now be paired with multiple devices at once.

We live in the future now.

It's honestly wild to me that a five year old console is getting both more expensive and less capable over time. Why is Europe paying more? To offset losses from US tariffs?

I'm really happy that Sony has still kept PS Vita and PS3 stores open for time being, despite having to jump through hoops to add funds to the wallet. I hope they stay open for a long time.

I want to buy games legally, keeping this door open has allowed me to do just that.

Bought Keychron K2 HE SE, a 75% keyboard with magnetic (hall effect) switches.

Incredibly responsive. Very good for both typing and gaming. I’m still not quite sure about the 75%, though — I realize I’ve been taking right shift being directly under the enter key for granted.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

Been enjoying the Switch 2. Four more finished games over the first month.

Replaying Zelda games in Japanese has been excellent language practise.

Link's Awakening & Echoes of Wisdom really sing on the new switch.

Voice memories add so much lore in BotW.

Stunning piece in the NYT showing how the US and China's embrace of fossil fuels and cleantech respectively suggest converging views on global domination

Phenomenal visuals in there too - check out these two charts

applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.
"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?" "Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

Ready to call Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 my GOTY.

A French JRPG. The characters, the vistas, the music... Not derivative despite familiar elements.

Tiny team leveraging UE5 to the max. I really hope this starts a trend: tight, focused teams being able to create uncompromising art.

And here we are.
Three days after launch.
One million copies sold.
And, as we type this, over 100,000 of you are currently playing on Steam.

Thank you for believing in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This has been surreal.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.

Excellent move from Nintendo to secure a From Software exclusive for Switch 2. The Bloodborne vibes are off the charts.

I no longer think Bloodborne for PC will ever see the light of day. There must be some bad... blood between the companies.
