Little bit disappointed that the gaming communities I follow online aren't constantly blowing up and theorizing about why we haven't seen anything about Dragon Quest XII yet. DQXI is 8 years old and it's been 5 years since DQXII was announced! Where is it?
I know that most of the founding […]

I am currently playing Mass Effect 2 on PS4(5) and Dragon Quest VII on MiSTer FPGA’s PS1 core.
One of these games is just as good as it was when it came out. The other one is Mass Effect 2.

Finished Dragon Quest III HD-2D last night!

TBH, didn’t love it as much as VIII or XI. It wore out its welcome on encounters after the first final boss fake out. But overall a lovely game.

Excited for the VI remake coming next week, but will probably wait until it goes on sale.

How are we supposed to just go to work and be normal while ICE is out there murdering our friends and neighbors?

The Verge’s reporting this year has been stellar. So glad I have a sub.

Biggest takeaway from recently reading more posts from @pluralistic lately: I gotta start a suspense file.

Briefly experimented with switching from iPhone to Android to get out of the iPhone 14 pro I grew to hate. It was uncomfortable to hold, heavy, and my cameras were starting to fail. Not having USB-C to charge or connect was also a huge pain; the only device i traveled with that couldn't use […]

@gruber i have your first TV! Bought it off a guy in the Portland, OR area a few years ago and modded it for RGB input (I’m a retro games sicko)
Little bit worse for wear since 1999, but looks excellent!

I recently got an XTEink X4 ereader and it's awesome. It's tiny, *only* does books, and snaps to the back of my phone with magsafe. I've been reading a lot more because it's so easy to whip out and start reading rather than look to doom scroll on my phone […]

I have never seen this before. Amazon linking OUT to other stores? Obviously they're not going to let them compete on price, but what is going on here? Why would amazon allow this? There has got to be some catch to them allowing competition in their own store.

I used overcast on iPhone a *lot* so switching to android in was worried I'd have to settle for something decidedly worse like pocketcasts.

Folks, AntennaPod is so insanely good. FOSS software can be better than some of the best paid options. It's kinda bonkers.

I've just switched, for the first time, from iPhone to Android.

I didn't feel good about giving money to a company who sees fit to turn around and give it to war criminals in the form of gold trophies. Google isn't any better, but i got a Pixel 10 Pro Fold that I *immediately* flashed to […]

I’m glad the hard fork guys and @pj are having a good laugh about the #forkiverse but i hope they actually stick around and promote good posts for those of us who’ve gotten good and settled on the fedi for a while now.

I have managed to obtain a PC with an Intel i9, 96GB of DDR5 RAM and a 16GB RTX 5080. I will not suffer Windows, but how compromised should I expect gaming performance to be on it with Linux? I understand #nvidia to be subpar on #linux.

Healthy dose of dread this morning, I see.

Excellent.

In other news, I've managed to move my VO2 Max up from "Poor" to "Fair" recently! Woohoo! Goal to out run death: on target

Goals for 2026 include:
- complete a half marathon, with stretch goal of <2hrs
- Lose 20lbs (or, get abs)
- Complete […]
