I'll be participating to the extent that works for my family, and young child, but I welcome folks to join me in withholding your wallet to send a message — trust me, the deals will remain after this period.

I'm still working, and if I shop I'll do it with small, local businesses. #economicblackout

Democracy is crumbling, but at least we are reaping the benefits.

Nights like tonight I miss working at IGN. When you’re not a part of the culture your colleagues don’t understand why you’re excited, and subsequently very tired the next day.

Same at this Best Buy north of Denver.

Waiting for these #halfsour #pickles to ferment will be difficult. 🥒
But worth it.

Microsoft's own website exposes the biggest weakness in their current Xbox strategy.

If everything is an Xbox, and I can "Play Anywhere" the need to differentiate between console and PC games wouldn't exist.

This week, I'll be publishing a #productdesign class I've been working on for months, including honing it with colleagues at Shopify.

I'm exporting and QA'ing the videos now, and I couldn't be more excited. I can't wait to share it with you.

After a historically hot October from climate change. It's almost as if Mother Nature herself knew. Last night, hell froze over.

Coming from a 13 pro, that was the longest I’d gone between upgrades in years. I hope that I can go even longer this time.

What... in the ever-loving fuck is this?

A notification pop up, email subscription modal, a pop-out video player, a background coated in an advertisement, two massive sponsored links, and a long tall advertisement on the right rail. All overlapping.

The Switch is the only console I buy physical games for, because:

- First party games tend to hold their value

- Nintendo tends to leave behind games on old hardware

- I don’t have full confidence in their forward compatibility

- It’s still the easiest way to share between multiple devices

This tree is doing too much.

The utter irony of being unable to connect my Midjourney account to the RabbitR1 here's where it's stuck:

Discord login screen asking if the AI I'm asking to operate the software is a human.

@thatwitchmia.bsky.social just out of the oven! I’m never going to Starbucks again. *Reloads $5 just in case I messed up*
