cat dad, paid to code webdev|gamedev|politics|retrogames Uhh fight the oligarchy!

can’t believe our current all-ages literacy crisis is making me a little nostalgic for the pretentious “we publish experimental poetry chapbooks and have strong opinions on Melville and the 1800s fur trade” Literature Boys of my college years in the late 2000s/early 2010s.

"this stuff actually IS valuable. if it wasn't, people wouldn't be stealing it. rewatching hbomberguy's plagiarism video and just having to pause at the obvious but easily forgotten point that I needed to feel with my whole soul at this moment.

The easiest fix ive found is to disconnect your tv from the internet and use an appletv or some such Unfortunately my Samsung will routinely throw up a notice, opaque and in the middle of the screen, reminding me of how much better off i would be if i simply connected to the dang internet

honestly, fuck LG for adding these notifications at startup on their TVs. I had every option for promotions disabled in the system settings, but they added new ones through the built in apps. I’ll never ever own anything LG ever again.

i think it is hard in a lot of ways to fully internalize that we are in the middle of an ongoing coup and we really are dealing pretty uniformly with avowed enemies of both ourselves as people and of the republic broadly and conceptually

Would Sony have canceled discs if Kamala Harris won? We should be tearing down the white house. Trump killed physical games with his intentionally dumb tariffs. He's intentionally sinking the ship. The calls are coming from inside the house!

ICE fatally shot a man in Houston yesterday. Agents arrested a nun on her way to mass. An Afghan who helped the U.S. military died in ICE detention, one of at least 21 people to die in detention this year. The headlines have moved on, but Trump is still waging his reign of terror.

@playstation.com Extremely disappointing. Another step towards owning nothing. Say goodbye to: - Acquiring games once the digital storefront closes - Lending to friends - Buying used games - Borrowing games from the library - The lucrative business of deluxe collector's editions

I guess that's that then, huh? The end of buying games for PlayStation for me - at least, for the most part. I guess I'll still play some games from time to time but talk about destroying interest in a platform. Only Nintendo remains but for how long? blog.playstation.com/2026/07/01/p...

SoftBank’s investor presentation is one of the greatest things ever made. I’ve been thinking about it all day. These are the real slides shown in a speech where Masayoshi Son said he wouldn’t retire for at least another decade. The goose stuff is truly demented. Bravo group.softbank/media/Projec...
