Congrats to Team Fuzion and Shrimp Shack Shooters getting across the finish line for Manaforge: Omega, both taking down Heroic Dimensius this week. The War Within Race to CORE First is now officially over. Great work to all the teams!

Sora is pretty interesting- I find it oddly refreshing that at the very least I _know_ everything is AI generated on it.
… Does everyone else’s “for you” page just show them MLK Jr. and Jake Paul videos? Am I stuck in some sort of weird algorithm?

The Apple Watch series 11 has a pretty impressive battery life!
Full charged yesterday morning before walking the boy to school, it’s currently at 53%.

Got my Switch 2! Home by 2AM... Rather fitting I guess?
Booted up everyone's favourite: Pokemon Scarlet to see just how "performance improved" it is... 60 fps everywhere. Pretty impressive!
Good thing I just had to buy a new console to get more than 15-20 fps (a generous estimate)...

Decided I'm going to a midnight release for the Switch 2... I've literally never been to a midnight release for anything before. Not entirely sure what to expect.

This will be super cool when it's fully implemented. Definitely going to keep my eye on it!
Have you ever wished the browser would look at a background color and pick black or white for the text — whichever one provides more contrast?
Now, the `constrast-color()` function in CSS does just that.

How to have the browser pick a contrasting color in CSS
Have you ever wished you could write simple CSS to declare a color, and then have the browser figure out whether black or white should be paired with that color?

I've been refactoring/improving some things in a theming framework I've been creating... Today I went from feeling productive, to feeling like I've over thought a problem and I've been wasting my time for months, back to feeling super accomplished... Does anyone else feel like that sometimes?

As I enter into the last day of a training course I am giving, I find myself overjoyed that I will not have to look at another slide again for the next while...
I'm so tired of slides.
Today there will be no slides! All hands on! All day! No exceptions!... Except for the feedback slides.
Dang it.

I especially can't wait to see @katannshaw.bsky.social's keynote video... I was stuck on booth duty and had to miss it! 👎

So close! Literally 1 second away from victory...
The Race to CORE First is heating up. CORE Within, Team Fuzion, and Shrimp Shack Shooters are now all 5/8. CORE Within had a devastating 0.2% wipe on One-Armed Bandit last night. Who can hit the jackpot and down him first?

If all else fails... Maybe I just make my own. With TipTap... And GitHub.
I'm back to Notion after my brief test of AFFiNE. Not a huge fan of what seems like arbitrary limits on storage use? It's self host... It's storage I own. What?
Next I'm going to check out Docs!
docs.numerique.gouv.fr
Open source and backed by French and German governments. Sounds interesting.

Upgrading the home server today!
I've been hitting ~95% usage of the 32GB that's in there lately. Hopefully 64 will do for a while.

So in an attempt to reduce monthly subscription fees I'm trying out AFFiNE, a competitor to Notion that you can self-host.
affine.pro
I've only transferred over a few pages, but it looks pretty cool! The lack of support for callout blocks is unfortunate though.
Overall it looks promising!

I've been playing around with Copilot Next Edit Suggestions in VSCode this week. It's very inconsistent.
It either suggests the exact thing I was going to change and is incredible, or just makes up new code to insert instead of editing anything at all and is in the way.
Standard AI experience 😆
