Glad I never bought into the hype around Framework. After falling in the trap with TRMNL, I'm becoming more and more convinced that the majority of companies producing niche electronics, unless they explicitly state otherwise, are run by racists and transphobes or have little issue supporting people who are. Beyond disappointing.

After seeing the stuff going on around Bluesky, I decided to spin up my own Mastodon server again. I'd never had any major issues migrating before, but I got a little overzealous and stranded half my followers on my old account, so I'll have to wait and try again when I'm able to. If you're seeing this, see you in a month!

Disappointed but not surprised by Manuel Moreale's post about online behaviour. He's not wrong about social media in general but it's clear that he, like Manton, never bothered to look into the root issue before posting his thoughts. Heaven forbid we hold people accountable in public for the ill-informed opinions they choose to share.

I started Silent Hill f and it’s good, but now I also need a daytime game to play when my kid is around so I also restarted Oblivion Remastered.

Middle-aged, hetero, white dudes really need to learn that they’re not required to have a take on every little thing they read online, especially when they don’t care to understand the context.

One of the best things that could come from the EA buyout is that the new owners sell off BioWare and give that studio the chance to make good games again.

In my ~20 years using Apple hardware, iOS and macOS 26 might be the buggiest versions of Apple's OSes I've ever used. It's crazy that these were deemed acceptable to ship.

The EA buyout doesn't seem like it has an upside for anyone other than the investors and C-suite assholes.

If you’re in games media, ask yourself if Hideo Kojima needs more of your help promoting his projects or if you couldn’t use that time and energy helping smaller games get even a fraction of the attention his work gets.

I often feel I default to a pessimistic view of things, especially when it comes to technology, but so many of the things we use every day have become so shoddily built and need to be viewed through a critical lens if we ever want them to get better.

I think my favourite new iOS 26 bug is when you switch back to an app you were using previously and it's on a page or view you never navigated to.

I’m torn on pulling for Orphie and Magus in ZZZ. I love the characters’ design but struggled with them in combat. I feel like I should wait until Yidhari, whose design I like but find less interesting, who might be more my speed in combat.

I had to stop watching Zuckerberg's painful AI demos. Genuinely the worst second-hand embarrassment I've felt in a long time, especially considering they've spent billions of dollars so far and this is the best they can do.

The early iPhone reviews often feel tailored to Apple enthusiasts, but those same people are the ones who already have the phones pre-ordered. Who benefits from these reviews aside from the people making them?
