The Last Jedi.

I left the theater on opening night thrilled with what I saw. I couldn’t wait to go online and read all the positive reactions and theories for the next one… Whelp.

Sync for Lemmy. 🤷

I’ve donated to Lemmy, Beehaw, and Mastodon and came here because Reddit killed Sync. Lemmy is full of gatekeepers and it’s bringing the platform down. Half the posts are whining about reddit and the other half are whining because someone doesn’t adhere to the perfect open source ethos and shun anything not completely free. It’s getting tiring. No wonder Lemmy’s active user count is decreasing.

What? I’m a software engineer (a so-called “professional”) at a major corporation and we get the choice between Windows and Mac. Every single person I know in the company has chosen Mac.

“The bankruptcy of Lordstown signals that the days of successful EV startups is in the rear-view mirror,” said Thomas Hayes, chairman at hedge fund Great Hill Capital. “Moving forward it will be Tesla and the traditional incumbents … that will duke it out for market share.”

Any Dice game, really. The Battlefield games have always had incredible sound design.

Disclaimer: I haven’t played the latest one.

Fool me once. Shame on Digg. Fool me twice. Shame on Reddit.

This looks surprisingly good. I’ve been pretty burnt out on the Ubisoft open world formula so hopefully this does something new. I’m not gonna get too hyped, but I’m hoping the reviews end up being positive so I can pick this up a bit after launch.

Halo 5 & Halo Infinite. Turns out, Halo was the Halo killer all along.

That was delightful.

This looks extremely promising. I’m trying not to get my hopes up after the recent string of disappointing launches… But dang. I get to build ships, explore the galaxy, build outposts, etc, etc. This really is shaping up to be No Man’s Skyrim. I just hope they can stick the landing.

Tone looks perfect. Gotta see some gameplay now!

Fascinating read. I have mild tinnitus and it’s super annoying but ultimately a minor inconvenience. I can’t imagine what people go through who suffer from more severe cases. I hope we can eventually find a cure.

With all the recent big releases crashing and burning lately I can’t help but feel jaded by this. I guess we’ll see how Starfield is at launch…

Still Zelda. I’m 75 hours in and still completely hooked.
