With the 300 USD price bump, the Steam Machine is going to be so DOA. It's a real shame.

I’ve been meaning to check out Guild Wars Reforged but I don’t really have the time to sink into GW to really get the most out of it. I might try during the post-Christmas pre-New Years limbo.

Valve’s work on FEX is great for the Linux ecosystem. Getting more features on Linux for ARM, even if it’s through an emulation layer, will really push the year of Linux.

Small but chonky looking. Im hoping this starts a serious trend into small form factor PCs. Current options are too expensive and don’t quite hit the performance mark for me. store.steampowered.com/sale/steamma...

The new Steam machine looks amazing. Might be the best small form factor PC that can go up against the Mac Mini.

i'm never working with the japanese again bro

Sucks to hear that Hytale shut down. I thought they were quietly plugging away at the game. Hytale will go down as a testament to bad project management and ambitious scope creep. hytale.com/news/2025/6/...

Jeff Gerstmann continues to be one of the most important people in games journalism. youtu.be/Z0lm29zqPXc?...

Just completed today’s Binary Wordle. Talk about a tough one!

Something I didn't see people mention this week: Microsoft open-sourced a Rust remake of MS-DOS Editor. I’ve been trying it and it’s kind of fun? Pretty intuitive and no esoteric key combo to do anything. It’s on the simpler side, but for basic edits, it does the job. github.com/microsoft/edit

Happy 30th Java! 🥳 Here’s to another 30 more. www.jetbrains.com/lp/java-30/

It’s only Tuesday but my week has already been made! PEBBLE IS BACK🎉🎉🎉 repebble.com

I just got served this video about Legos and somehow they figured out a more demeaning way to describe Millenials: kidults. At that point just call them Millennials. youtu.be/-d8sNML3WT8

Great article by Constance Grady trying to uncover the origin of the stat that women account for 80% of fiction sales. It’s interesting and somewhat scary that these bogus stats are used to judge people and influence policy.

It’s all over, I just finished day 25 of AOC. Talk about a fun question! Now I don’t know what to do for the next 11 months. Guess I’ll go touch grass. #AdventOfCode #Golang

Day 24 of AOC in the bag. It was a fun one today. One of those “Just Do It” questions. And I just did it. #AdventOfCode #Golang

I just finished day 23 of AOC. Guess what? ANOTHER graph question! YAAAAAA. I will say that it was another easy question. A node adjacency question. Quick and simple code with a bit of bodging. Can’t wait for the penultimate day! Will it be another graph question? #AdventOfCode #Golang

AOC day 22 completed! Talk about an easy question. I liked working on it. Just 2 brute forces. It was mainly a reading comprehension question. Which is something I am familiar with... #AdventOfCode #Golang

I just finished Day 21 of AOC. While it was still a graph traversal problem, at least it looked different enough. #AdventOfCode #Golang

Day 20 of AOC was a cakewalk. So many graph traversal questions. I’m tired of graph traversal questions... #AdventOfCode #Golang

Day 19 of AOC is in the bag. I have never really used dynamic programming outside of job interviews so it was a real surprise when it came up. #AdventOfCode #Golang

With the past few days of AOC being a doozy. Day 18 was great! A bit of brute-force here, a bit of brute-force there. #AdventOfCode #Golang

Day 17 of AOC was a really tricky one. Part 1 was a fine little program and then part 2 blindsided me. It put up a good fight. #AdventOfCode #Golang

Day 16 of AOC was an fun one. I hadn't done Djikstra in awhile. Backwards traversal was an interesting choce. #AdventOfCode #Golang

I just finished Day 15 of AOC. Talk about a good question. At some point, the North Pole needs to sort out their robot problem. Too many malfunctions! #AdventOfCode #Golang

Day 14 of AOC started out pretty easy. That second half had me stumped for awhile. But I was able to figure out the gimmick. The Christmas tree almost got me. That sly tree... #AdventOfCode #Golang

That Day 13 AOC problem was great. One of my faster solves. Haven't done math in so long my math skills atrophied. #AdventOfCode #Golang

Day 12 of AOC almost got me. But I was able to pull through. This is why I'd never get into farming. I'll just stay indoors thank you very much. #AdventOfCode #Golang

Just completed Day 11 of AOC. I personally would just not blink. #AdventOfCode #Golang

Hey, I just finished Day 10 of AOC. Nothing I can really joke about trailheads... #AdventOfCode #Golang

Day 9 of AOC was a piece of cake. Defragging memory? Thats what I do all day! #AdventOfCode #Golang

That Day 8 AOC problem was a real doozy. The description on antennas in part 2 left me feeling confused and bewildered. 10/10 would do again. #AdventOfCode #Golang

Just smashed through Day 7 of AOC. Today's puzzle was an easy one. The elephants should’ve stolen more than just operators if they wanted to make this a real challenge. #AdventOfCode #Golang

Welp, I forgot to post about completing Day 6 of AOC yesterday. I want to sincerely apologise to everyone who follows me for my riveting AOC coverage. I will do better. #AdventOfCode #Golang

Day 5 of AOC all done! Why does The North Pole use printers anymore? Everything's an ebook now. #AdventOfCode #Golang

Make sure to stock up on food and bottled water. Stay safe out there!

Day 4 of AOC was a breeze! Who knew that The North Pole was just one big unpaid data entry job. #AdventOfCode #Golang

I got day 3 of AOC in the bag! Even at the North Pole, people assume that just because you're a software engineer you can fix computers. Smh. #AdventOfCode #Golang

Just finished day 2 of AOC. I hope Rudolph is alright, that molecular synthesis sounded gnarly. #AdventOfCode #Golang

I am doing Advent of Code this year to get better at Golang. I'm excited to see how far I'll get before I get bored! #AdventOfCode #Golang
