End of an era. Crucial was *the* pick for bang-for-the-buck SSDs, not to mention the memory biz. www.theverge.com/news/837594/...
Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead
Another blow to PC gaming.

@discordian.ca hey buddy, been a long time! I've poked around for a profile of yours every once in a while over the years and now I'm shocked I didn't find one sooner. Uncanny how well our interests still align.

Pretty incredible timing from @plante.bsky.social to have done an episode all about porn games in late May. If you're wondering what all the payment processors fuss is about, it might help contextualize that side of the industry a bit.

Small cosplay creator @galacticarmory.net was hit with a C&D by Games Workshop last week for selling its Warhammer 40K helmet STLs. A comment in my coverage points out the first official 40K helmet released a couple days later.

I'm pretty reserved when it comes to calling content AI-generated, but Sovol's blog articles are so transparent. It gets its own price wrong and calls the Sovol SV08 Max cheaper than the K1 Max when it's at least $100 more expensive.

Brands don't seem to realize that the "fake sale" strategy stops consumer journalists like me from mentioning their sales.
If I have to double-check that your "sale" is actually a new price, I'm just not going to bother telling our audience about it.
