I'm watching it a bit late, but Swerve just leaping into the shot and wrapping a chain around Big Bill's neck was pretty fucking cool. 🤼

Disgusting.

I should've known that doing that C64 Ultimate video and saying anything other than "it's the best thing ever and there's never been anything else like it wow" was going to lead to a bunch of cranks in the comments. Even as an old dude I am still sometimes surprised by the way old dudes can be.

There've been a couple stories going around about a PowerShell script that removes/blocks a lot of the AI features in Windows 11. Seems fine, some people commented with snarky shit about just using Win11Debloat instead. Meanwhile, over at Win11Debloat... they're linking to an "agentic terminal."

Telling my daughter that she shouldn’t say gross stuff like “there’s a fart princess she poops on her throne” but we both know I don’t mean it.

Not sure if Nicolas Cage shouting HOT FIRE is soundboard material or not.

Here's a quick look at the Commodore 64 Ultimate. It's neat! Is it $350 neat? I'll show you how the menus work and, ya know, play some games. youtu.be/9ENUmRtG2qI
Is This Commodore 64 Truly "Ultimate?"
A new company called Commodore is on the scene promising an ultimate version of one of the greatest computers ever made, the Commodore 64. So what's up with this thing? Is it worth $350? I've been…

Bills, a fake home warranty notice, a jury duty notice for someone who doesn't live here... man, I'm just saying my mail could be a little bit more popful, that's all.

It's not quite ready to be a full-on Explorer replacement just yet, but File Pilot is dang close. Really slick, super fast, the sort of thing you wish the Windows developers were working on instead of jamming more Copilot shit into every corner. Check it out! filepilot.tech
File Pilot - Next-gen file explorer
File Pilot is a file explorer built from scratch for light-speed performance, with a modern and robust interface.

The double whammy of Discord moving towards an IPO and sending out a survey to see what sort of AI garbage they could get away with sends a pretty clear message about where they want to go.

Kinda cool that they duplicated the style of the original C64 box for the C64 Ultimate.

Interesting that Sony is doing a Hyperpop collection of controllers and console shells. Maybe next they can do Signalwave or PluggnB or just put out a PS5 shell with Ecco the Dolphin on it or something.

This week's Patreon podcast is up! I thought I would talk about Anthem but ended up getting into the deep end on that terrible rap _about_ Anthem that came out right around launch. This, naturally, led to me digging up the 1998 anthem, "Starcraft Brood War" by UhMer. www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-...

While I’m generally all for people getting a chance to play games for themselves, the whole “make up your own mind” thing that Call of Duty and now Splitgate have done in an attempt to counter the (earned) negative sentiment around their games just stinks of desperation.

This week's podcast is rolling out across the World Wide Web! Here's the video version, let's talk about Anthem and CES and 2026 releases and one of the scariest energy drinks I've ever done drank. youtu.be/Yk24O8Ji1kk
