I asked a software engineer once what it would cost to build this today. I will never forget his answer:

“We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.”

Panos leaving Microsoft after creating and running the Surface hardware line over the past ten years to go work on Alexa & Echo devices is a massive W for Amazon and L for Microsoft.

Can’t see how this is anything but a bad sign for that line of products at Microsoft.

Unity has earned their name. They've united almost every developer against them.

One thing I will NEVER get used to is people saying to mean

It's like saying car to mean Ford and just specifically Ford.

“But that’s my emotional support oversized shampoo in my carry-on.”

Having enjoyed two recently with simpler graphics ( and ) I think I now want simpler graphics. Comparatively, I also tried playing and sure it looks like your usual polished and hyper-detailed game but I didn't enjoy it or its looks much. This also has the advantage that my , , or isn't catching fire keeping up with the graphics.

So what I am saying I guess can be summarized as I value unique stylized graphics more than realistic especially when it comes with the added bonus of the game being more performant.

I wasn't super mega keen on the

It seemed like an extension of the old Mario 3 cartoon and it was entertaining enough, but at least to me it was a little meh.

Not a terrible video game movie but not exactly Ready Player One or Detective Pikachu.

I would have preferred it if Peach was more Peach like and of Mario spoke like Mario. That’s just two small changes I would have made.

Usually only uncover this to give it a stroke 😄, but as I haven't fired it up in a while I thought I'd have a quick outdoor play before the crap weather sets in. Keyboard cleaning brush is perfect for the grooves!

The UK is going to ban 'XL bully' dog breeds. But the problem with those dogs isn't with the breed itself; it's with people who get them purely as a status symbol. The kind of person who gets a status dog isn't the kind of person who will train their dog properly. If they can't get an XL bully, they'll get a different "well 'ard" dog, such as a rottweiler, German shepherd or doberman - and then we'll see an increase in attacks from those breeds.

I can’t get over the rapid shift in power dynamics where various blue collar workers are going on strike snd earning 20% to 40% wage increases while tech workers are being laid off by email and threatened with losing their jobs if they don’t take their Zoom calls from the office.

Did the guy on the left use this weirdly short rapier in a duel against the dead (?) guy in white and red? No visibile wound, though. #StThomas was a short-lived Prussian colony, located in the Carribean, in the late 17th and early 18th century. Don't worry if you haven't heard of it before. After all, now that you know about this game, it is your opportunity to learn, isn't it?

We've all come across someone who owns a Ford Escort, or Corvette that's super common and claims is "rare" or a "classic" or "collectible" etc... your 8 year old Lenovo can be just as glorious.
