I have manually opted into Extended Security Updates. I should not be getting an alert asking me to install Windows 11.

(see the right side of the first screenshot)

It's bad all the way down.

Generally I try to use 60Hz/fps wherever I can, but it's not always possible. :(.

Also, fun UI bug, if you select "Role Queue" and select a previous season, it shows Hero SR (which wasn't yet supported) instead of Most Played.

Well, this weekend was educational! Learned Gradle, Yarn, Fabric, Minecraft's world rendering pipeline (order of operations), Mixins, and that injection points *matter*.

I got the mod fully updated and working how it used to, but my favourite mistake was using camera position data.. oops.

And when we say "we recommend updating, as new releases have bug fixes" - we mean it!

It's also why it's imperative that if you experience bugs in your favourite open-source software, you report it to the developers! That's the only way it'll get fixed!

I don't explicitly remember, but I haven't rewatched Blizzcon 2017-2019 in a while.

The last time in OW2 they did a roadmap like this was for Season 5, which is way too long ago.

This is a crazy take from someone at Fedora.

OBS 30.1.0 & above use a runtime last updated in Oct-2024 and marked EOL prior to our Jan-2025 release. Newer versions of it have critical bugs that we didn't want to pass to our users - we instead reported them upstream.

Apparently that's bad?

Apparently the Overwatch executive team believe a main menu link to Match History isn't important enough (it currently takes 2 clicks to get to), but a *second* shop tab, labelled "Maximilien's Vault," is important enough.

Even the 6v6 experiment didn't get this priority treatment.

Giving my PC time to boot is... fun.

Quite sure this is somehow caused by WSL. No idea how to debug it.

Being a JavaScript developer by day, I love being able to carry over knoweldge and skills to personal projects.
So this weekend I successfully enabled hot reload in Java for Minecraft plugins in VS Code.

With Overwatch Classic out, I revisited a few of my own Highlights & POTG clips from OW1. Because of this,
I figured out why the Overwatch 2 HUD still feels out of place for me:
*opacity*.

Overwatch 1 had a more transparent HUD, and it felt MUCH better to me.
Here's an edit I made, with reference.

When your hands get home row wrong (and you weren't looking) but Spotify still correctly guesses what you meant.

How on earth?!

Finally rebuilt my voice satellite for Home Assistant after the SD card corrupted itself a while back.

I got lucky because the more useful configuration files were intact, but I did actually spot one file that *did* get corrupted - the simpler config.

*phew*

Now more than ever, I wish I had the budget for this domain.

Would make for a wicked Bluesky handle.

I spent an hour last night troubleshooting a crash-on-shutdown on Linux in OBS when the user has opened the "What's New" dialog any time during the session.

Continued troubleshooting today. My luck continues to fail.

I fear fixing this requires a refactor to match other usages.. :(

Decided to finally put a 2nd SSD into my gaming PC as my poor C drive was always on the brink. Moved most games successfully, except Forza Horizon 5 (Xbox app). It was failing at the 10% mark. Verifying files didn't fix it. The cause? One audio asset file, in Italian.

Took me 44 tank matches and at least 12 non-placement DPS matches across 3 days. But I did it. Should not require that many. @PlayOverwatch

After a two-season loss streak, finally had a win streak.. and then a 3 hour tease. Now I'm finally back in Gold 3. Only three more divisions to be back in platinum again.

That moment when one of your temperature sensors just randomly stops working for 12 hours, and then fixes itself.

Straight up just didn't report any values. Then continued as if nothing went wrong.

The other 3 sensors, one of which is further away, had no issues.

Smart home shenanigans.

I'm terrible at creative building games, but #tinyglade is so intuitive and has such a great vibe, I expect I'll be playing it a lot on release. Here are my 2 favourite builds of mine so far. Free demo (and wishlist): https://store.steampowered.com/app/2198150/Tiny_Glade/

I have verified that this works with OBS Studio @OBSProject in case anyone is curious. Very low latency, and only requires Android 9+ https://twitter.com/windowsinsider/status/1763277070896173381

Unsurprisingly, @PlayOverwatch "Quicker Play" caused the opposite problem. My team went on the offensive at the start of the round, and nobody bothered to capture the objective, so it just sat there uncaptured until I, as Tracer, went back for it. 1min20 into the match.

I was like "oh neat, @ifixit Australia has a sale!" In order,
$2.33 off (1.5% off)
$6 off (3% off)
$1.33 off (1.3% off) That's not a sale, that's a troll. (and that's not including the $19 shipping)
November 18, 2024 at 4:53 AM
I was doing other things today, so I wanted to see just how long I would actually queue for @PlayOverwatch Open Queue. I was Gold 1 in Season 5, & this season I have not yet been able to play an Open Queue match. @SrslyPaladin I hope this padded a stat internally somewhere. 😂
