Finished reading It's All Your Fault, Vol. 2 and Chained Soldier, Vol. 12.
This weekend, I took the time to move my site from 11ty to Astro. After some digging, I found that Astro was a better fit for my use case. At the same time, I also moved away from Supabase and now host all items locally, which simplifies the entire process.
Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning
The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn’t a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division.

A Website Is A Room
I came to this conclusion sometime during quarantine when I realized that certain websites give me a sense of shelter and rest more than others.

How Tim Cook sold out Steve Jobs
Gold trinkets are emblematic of the Apple Intelligence flop era, right when they need to be channeling peak Steve Jobs one-more-thing energy. It's not too late. And if he gets mad, tell him he's holding it wrong.

Finished playing Zenless Zone Zero: Update 2.2 - Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and added Arknights: Endfield to the backlog.
Boat-Attacking Orcas Are Back for Vengeance
While scientists are still trying to figure out why exactly the orcas have it out for boats at sea, some have suggested that it's simply a sign that they're having fun.

I Am An AI Hater
The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.

After adjusting my TV settings again and tweaking the in-game options, I have Expedition 33 looking okay. I still think there are a ton of issues with the colours and lighting, for example it's sometimes impossible to read the subtitles because of the white text on a bright background, but we're back in it.

The bloom and lighting effects in Expedition 33 make the game almost unplayable for me, even with the settings dialled down. Everything is either too bright or too dark, and there’s just too much visual noise. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be able to get much further.
Slack’s half-baked AI summaries have lead to some of the most unintentionally funny things I've ever read.

Shelved Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
The Crying Of Lot 55: The Unsolved Mysteries And Alternate Realities Of Andrew W.K.
Who is Andrew W.K.? Is Andrew W.K. real? Who is the real Andrew W.K.?

I’m confused why a bigger deal wasn't made out of PlayStation putting Helldivers 2 on Xbox. We never hear the end of Microsoft releasing stuff on Sony hardware.

I will almost certainly not be able to finish Kingdom Come: Deliverance. It's nothing against the game, I just don't know that I have the attention span for another 15 hours of methodical sword fights between sessions of riding around the countryside on horseback.
I will buy an iPhone 17 for the fabric case alone.

Finished reading My Journey to Her.
A couple of weeks on Android reminded me how dependent on iMessage and FaceTime my family and I are. I was legitimately upset that I couldn't send my kid a message or jump on a video call when he's visiting my parents without him having to download multiple new apps.
Refusing to Choose Is a Choice
It’s a choice in favor of the people who prey on others and who refuse to acknowledge the humanity of those they hate.

Zuckerberg's Huge AI Push Is Already Crumbling Into Chaos
As the New York Times reports based on insider sources, Meta has announced internally that it will be splitting its AI division into four separate groups: one focused on research, one on so-called "superintelligence," one on products, and another on infrastructure.

The internet isn’t fun anymore, and it’s everyone's fault
It’s incredible how, nowadays, the natural response to engaging with other people’s “content” online is to look for that sinister angle that must be there to create engagement, conversions, or sales. And I completely understand it, because that’s exactly the level to which we’ve ruined the internet, and it feels like there’s no way back.

Finished reading Please Go Home, Miss Akutsu! Vol. 9 and Wash It All Away, Vol. 3, and added Smoking Behind the Supermarket With You, Vol. 6 to the reading list.
Meta hasn't built anything new in over 20 years. They've bought and copied their way to continued relevance. Complete chaos, disorganization, and failure is exactly what people should expect whenever Zuck announces the company's new focus.
The vast majority of the new games that got announced yesterday look so boring and similar. They're all bloody, gross, Souls-like action games or shooters. Seeing them without titles, you'd have a tough time telling them apart.
Added Cronos: The New Dawn to the backlog.
Finished reading Mii-chan Wants to Be Kept, Vol. 2.

The story behind Drew Struzan’s iconic poster for "The Thing"
Arguably the most striking artwork Struzan created that year, though, doesn’t feature any actors at all. Depicting a human, parka-clad figure framed by an icy landscape, Struzan’s poster for John Carpenter’s The Thing is minimal, surreal, and filled with menace. Its brilliance is all the more surprising given that Struzan managed to paint it in a matter of hours rather than days.

Who's a blog for?
A blog is for the person writing it. It's for the person who built it, who's hosting it, who's spending hours tweaking it until it looks just right (and spending countless more hours redoing the whole thing again and again).
