People need to stop using the web like they're seconds away from being famous. Is Bluesky as populated as Instagram? Is streamplace going to beat Twitch?

No, but why do they have to? Build your audience and tell them where you're going to be and they'll be there. At least here it is less icky.

I mean, Google has abandoned everything that made it good. You can type in an exact brand name on YouTube and you have to scroll through a bunch of garbage before you reach the official channel.

It's all optimized for grift and slop. Google has been useless as a service for years.

Love the Skyrim map. Yeah when we move I'm going to have a whole retro area.

I've got a Wii downstairs. I do want to buy a GameCube, but I currently do have a working N64 connected to a CRT and a collection of games.

Wouldn't mind one of those new Analogue 64 machines.

Sunshine is perfect. I never played Galaxy.

Nah, that's not my point. It's certainly interesting to me as someone covering Apple.

I disagree with the bleak tone/angle, not whether or not there's a discussion to be had.

While I agree losing talent is never good, it's just hard to gauge how bad it might be in each case.

They really don't tell us anything good or bad about Apple. But these reports sure try to make each departure the end of the world for Apple.

My favorite handheld form factor ever.
