I don’t exist in movies/tv land anymore so I am just learning that Sophie Turner is indeed playing Lara Croft. Between this and new Tomb Raider games, I’m partying over here.

This is what happens! Even the people writing copy for Microsoft aren't sure if it's "Xbox on PC" or "Xbox PC."

I think I’m just going to build my own SteamOS machine. It’s silly to get excited about Play Anywhere when it is still so hit and miss, Xbox hardware that’ll do what Valve is already doing is years off, and frankly… I don’t want to give Microsoft money anymore.

Squandered opportunity by Apple. It could have done a legit cross-platform gaming play better than anyone. Just didn't care enough to do it. Now it's there, on a very small percentage of games, and it's something barely anyone talks about.

Games/tech press in 2025, in a nutshell

My new favorite headline is “This SSD is selling for -$37, they will pay you to take it, seriously Amazon is going to go out of business”
We really need a way forward that isn’t affiliate stuff.

@reckless.bsky.social No IRC mentions for file sharing on Version History. Shocked! Also feeling more ancient than everyone on the planet earth. Bones and dust.

This is just straight-up death to publishers who stick to ads. Even if you try to move to subs, though — have you built something worth paying for? Or, you know… spent years convincing everyone the answer to that is no. martech.org/almost-no-on...
Almost no one is clicking on ChatGPT links | MarTech
Newly revealed data exposes how little traffic ChatGPT drives to publishers. Spoiler alert: The gap between visibility and clicks is huge.

So many websites being so bad means, when they’re inevitably chomped by the Google shark, the runway will be totally clear for anyone who wants to do things the right way.

Somewhat freeing: now I can outwardly laugh at stuff like this without being the reason a website gets blacklisted.

In the long list of movies I’ve watched this year, I can include the three “____ Has Fallen” movies. You can poo poo these but, I don’t know. How’d we get so many Fast & Furious movies and only three of these?

Just occurred to me that next year is the 10th anniversary of Doom 2016. It's currently a weird omission from the PC Game Pass library. Perhaps Microsoft puts out an updated version to check the non-Steam multiplayer and Play Anywhere boxes. Not sure it even needs a touch-up.
