Not bad predictions (3/5), some purposefully a bit "out there". These were made before 🇦🇺.

I miss that late 90's, what I call, "page torn" UI and menus
- game is PGA Tour 97 (EA Sports)
- 1996 ESPN 2 coverage of MLB game 4 ALDS*

Its just so much more vibrant and unique than everything today.

*also really like various letters being capitalized on the title

I've been really enjoying #Absolum by @dotemu.bsky.social, Supa Monks, and Guard Crush Games

Stuff like this is really neat [spoiler warning ❗]

Handle updated. Couldn't login to 2FA or domain provider. My old site now redirects to some random Indonesian one 🤷‍♂️

The pitfalls of losing a phone. Time to figure out a new site.

New book to read. I really enjoyed film (Tom Ford directed from 2009), and wanted to read the source material... just happened to wait 16 years.

Watching folks play @supergiantgames.bsky.social Hades 2, I decided to go look up my old Bastion review from the very short time I was a game reviewer.

Its weird looking at my old run-on writing style from 14 years ago, but of course nostalgia inducing.

Apparently, I have the ability to do channel points, and can get subscribers on #twitch now? I should stream more. The vibe...

Played ABZÛ again tonight by @giantsquidstudios.com . I had played it for PS4 some years ago but played it on PC (Steam). Still great.

Saw GS is coming out with a new game in August, very cool.

Dear Samsung Galaxy S9,

It was a stellar 7 yrs. You sent/received memes, messages, emails & more. You never complained when I'd put the max brightness on, or when you were dropped repeatedly. And, you always kept me in the loop with that little blinking light.

Thank you.
Your watch has ended.

Both are on version 0.0.x, but the bones are there for anybody wanting to use OpenWeatherMap or AirNow in #ruby.

@somni.us 👋 "jay" from Merv Slack way back in the day. Hello again! (I was sans-social media, Mastodon included, for some time)

After a great breakfast and chat with @adamdegrandis.bsky.social this morning... revisiting and old project.

Maybe time to make something in Godot or finish something in Haxe
