I Apologize, Absolute Batman. I Wasn’t Familiar With Your Game

Gotham is more messed up than it’s ever been, and it needs a different type of Batman to save the day. A Batman who’s already shot up the leaderboard as one of my favorite iterations on the character.

I realized I never looped back around and buttoned up the iPhone Air saga. Apple online support told me there would be no issue going into a store and doing an exchange outside of the 15-day return window, but the in-store support said this wasn't true. In the end, they did end up making an exception and let me swap for a silver 17 Pro.

I’m digging Silent Hill f, but I wish it did a better job with wayfinding so I didn’t have to open my map every three seconds to figure out where I'm going.

HomePod 2 Now 1,000 Days Old

Apple's second-generation HomePod is now 1,000 days old, with no sign of a refresh or third-generation model on the horizon.

Man, there's already so much e-waste. We don't need people running out to get a HomePod 3 just because it's been a while since there was a new one.

Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren't Even "Real Work" to Start With

“If you’re, like, farming, you’re doing something people really need,” Altman explained. “You’re making them food, you’re keeping them alive. This is real work.” But the farmer would see our modern jobs as “playing a game to fill your time,” and therefore not a “real job.”

Not sure the idiot responsible for Sora knows much about what "people really need".

People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads

Reports on Reddit and from The Verge’s Jennifer Pattison Tuohy, who owns more than one Echo Show, suggest that Amazon has increased the amount of ads it shows on its smart displays' home screens. The Echo Show’s apparent increase in ads is pushing people to stop using or even return their Echo Shows.

You don't say.

Less than a month into owning the iPhone Air, I'm growing increasingly disappointed with it. It's the epitome of form over function: it's gorgeous but has by far the worst battery life of any iPhone I've ever used.

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!

Elon Musk says his xAI company will release a ‘great AI-generated game’ by the end of 2026

Musk stated during an xAI stream in February that the company was launching an AI gaming studio, saying: “If you’re interested in joining us and building AI games, please join xAI. We’re announcing it tonight, let’s go.”

Say what you will about Elon Musk, but the guy certainly knows what people absolutely do not want.

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.

On Waffles And Class Allegiance

Tech leadership at seemingly every level appears to suffer from a very particular kind of brain rot that can’t help but have them seeing each other as more deserving of the benefit to the doubt than any of the people they claim to be serving with their products and services.

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.

After almost finishing Elden Ring several times over the past couple years, I finally rolled credits on it. I think the original Dark Souls is still my favourite but I really enjoyed it. I also gave Shadow of Erdtree a fair shake but ended up abandoning it for having some of the worst boss fights of any FromSoft game.

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.

Retailers were always going to drop Xbox over Game Pass

The decision by Costco to drop Xbox hardware from its stores may feel like a milestone, but the road on which that milestone is located is one we've been travelling for quite some time.

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.
