If you told teenage me in 1994 that I could talk to my computer to make it do things I would have been SO excited.

Now?

Absolutely not. My privacy is already a leaky boat that gets a new hole every year, I'm not about to shoot a cannon directly down through the hull.

"It is a forum made up of guys who would have, in an earlier time, pathed around video rental stores like a guard in Metal Gear Solid despite not working there, waiting for strangers to pick up DVDs in their vision cones so they could announce unprompted what they thought about the movie."

I have gathered my thoughts and turned it into a fun blog about how IMDb is hell. I hope you like a long, under-explained list of movie ratings. aftermath.site/imdb-review-...

This is the future of Windows. Microsoft wants to rewrite Windows to turn computers into AI PCs that you talk to. It's now bringing AI features to all Windows 11 PCs today, in a bid to convince you to talk to your PC and let AI control it. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/799768/...

good blog

But, like so many things in our lives these days, realizing it’s all bullshit doesn’t get you out of the bullshit, as our billionaires and tech overlords go full masks off about how much they just don’t care about the average person and their needs.

Every single other review:
"Who made this handheld and have they ever used technology before? Do they still have a job? We can't actually believe anyone would buy this for any reason??"

From the easy-to-use Xbox Full Screen Experience to the excellent performance from the AMD Z2 Extreme, the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X is easily the best handheld gaming PC available right now.

My Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X review.

The top phrases running through my mind while testing it:

"Someone's getting fired for greenlighting this launch"

"This is not an Xbox"

"If this is the future of Xbox, Xbox is screwed."

Went with the middle.

This is not an Xbox

Microsoft’s first “Xbox” handhelds are shipping not fully baked.

I think the fact that Sneaker Pimps was playing when I first met Strife in #HadesII was genuine perfection that really accelerated my 90s dating scene flashbacks.

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

If you ever want to know how to play high level #Siege as an IGL, go watch that last OT round between G2 and Falcons on Lair. Likefac killed 2 minutes and baited them into a vert kill after pinging the appropriate spot to open the ceiling for Yuzus.

Absolutely dirty. Absolutely incredible.

Update done and the only thing I want to say so far about Windows 11 is that whomst-so-ever designed the UI and its customization options needs to have a sit-down with someone with eyes.

Im aboutta write an essay, fly to Washington, and glue it to every door at MS offices.

Steam Next Fest is back, so here's a reminder to game devs:

If you use AI writing, I won't play your demo.

If you use AI imagery, I won't play your demo.

If you use AI music, I won't play your demo.

Using AI in your demo tells players that your game endorses creative theft.

Happy Columbo’s Day

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

GenG got a bad break drawing G2. I think they would dominate quite a few NAL teams and Nayqo might be the most underrated IGL out there right now, definitely in EML. #Siege
