#ArcRaiders: i'd be interested to know what made Embark choose 1 million coins a skill point—they've got to have some data on this right? It just feels unreachable without playing hundreds of hours, which surely is a tiny percentage of all players.

Happy "your launch day Apple Watch and iPhone are no longer eligible for AppleCare and therefore don't show an annoying badge in settings on all your devices" day to all that celebrate.

It's a crime that Arc Raiders is not a Game of the Year nominee.

I've never been more disappointed in myself.

Still haven't finished Silksong and of course Hades 2 is exceptional—I don't think my feeble thumbs can take it!

I'm writing a Safari web extension to replace some Arc functionality I came to rely on (Arc is going away because The Browser Company is looking for growth at all costs instead of trying to make a sustainable business out of the users they already have).

Anyway, this is a real hostile environment.

The most surprising #NintendoSwitch2 launch finding: I think I prefer the Switch 2 'Pro' controller over the other consoles' controllers that are twice the price. It's not better in every way, but the soft plastic body and thumbsticks feel just about perfect.

The task of finding a 512GB+ microSD express card for the #NintendoSwitch2 is proving to be more challenging than getting the Switch 2 itself.

Surprisingly, Walmart came through with delivering my #NintendoSwitch2 before 9am! They also threw in a Coke and Pringles for free. 😂

I will always love Halo, but I will never forgive it for launching ad campaigns that made the general public think gamers live off chips and soda. 😅

I made a silly little website to help you find a movie to watch tonight—it's called Movie Surf (https://movie.surf).

Give it a prompt of what you are in the mood for, set some filters for the services you subscribe to if you'd like, and search!

I wrote a bit about it here:

I got my toddler the pampers cruisers without the cute lil' guitar and I'm not sure I can come back from this one.

The Sigma BF Camera looks fantastic, but it seems like a bad camera for people who like cameras and too expensive for someone who wants more of a point and shoot experience (also, they can only make nine a day‽‽‽)?

I don't know which I dislike more—the old chatbots that would link you to an irrelevant page or the new AI chatbots that gaslight you out of a bag of coffee.

Also, "a team of real, live humans"!

If you missed Arco now’s your chance at one of my favorite games from last year.

My #1 feature request for the #NintendoSwitch2?

Remove the slop in the Joy-Cons when connected to the console! Whenever I play this thing in handheld mode, half of my attention is on the unpleasant creaky plastic sound each button press makes.

In a hysterical change of events, Comcast is threatening to take me to collections over $11 that they owe me.
I'm getting AT&T fiber installed today purely out of spite for Comcast. Well, that, and to eliminate the sadness I feel when Call of Duty updates single-handedly blow my data cap every month.

There are plenty of worse ways to spend the next 48 hours. Silo, Severance, and Shrinking are also great.
Apple TV is now free to watch all weekend.
Plenty of time to watch all 4 seasons of Slow Horses.
Thank me later.

Slack! Make this useful feature more discoverable so you don't have to cover half my input to let me know it exists! Or, at the very least, give me a big ol' dismiss button somewhere so I can get on with it!

What's in my new fancy green curry paste that merits the P65 warning? Stuff doesn't even have MSG (bummer). I'm stumped.
