New blog!

The current AI industry is a bubble and it's undeniable now.

It's going to pop, but what will AI look like after that? It's definitely not going away. I lay out my prediction for the future of the tech.

What I think the post-bubble AI future looks like
The AI industry is a massive bubble (yes, it is), but what will it looks like once that pops? I have a theory.

I'll give that a look! If I can solve that problem, I'll be making it a standard rollout for our clients. Thanks!

Hey there! I work at an MSP and recently deployed it using Microsoft Intune policies to all the stations at a long-term care home.

One question, is there a way to roll it out and have it not open the introduction tab? That confused a lot of users.
Game #45 of 2025: Buried

An interesting, single scene, atmospheric psychological horror vignette, clearly based on the Ryan Reynolds movie. Super cheap and kind of interesting, but *very* short and easy.
It's been amazing to see your mood get better and better as the house got closer to completion. So happy for you that you're finally back home. Enjoy it my dude!

I shout out my highlights from the most recent #SteamNextFest: geekbravado.com/my-highlight...

The event ends tomorrow so all the demos will still be up if you hurry!

If you had any demos that stood out to you, leave them in the comments! My wishlist has fattened even more.

If you haven't, come check out the Discord (link in bio) to hang out with fellow big box preservation weirdos! It's a good bunch over there.

Also, I restarted my old blog so if you want, maybe check that out and subscribe: geekbravado.com

Good to be back at this! Much more to come! 💖

There have been a LOT of new contributions to the site and there's a BIG backlog to get through so you'll be seeing those start rolling out on the feed over the next little while. I'll be at a measured pace, no 30+ post dumps, promise. 😉

I've also got some scans of my own to submit!

Honestly, no one reading needs to care why I wasn't about. Life just got a bit hairy and I had to triage some things to the backburner to make room for other things that needed my attention.

The good news is things are evening out and I can get back to fun stuff like this!

Well hi everyone! It's @pxa.ca, your humble BigBoxDB Bluesky posting dude. You may have noticed the feed's been pretty quiet for the last while and I haven't been too active on the Discord either.

I hate long threads so don't worry, this won't be one either.

Only 1 of the 17 games I recommended in my blog post used it and only for placeholder assets for their demo. And I didn't even check them beforehand. I'm not good at a lot of things, but I can spot AI slop pretty well.

Getting so tired of web sites chastising me for using an "ad blocker" because I run Privacy Badger. It doesn't block ads, it blocks invasive tracking. If your ad network relies on that, that's a failing on your part. Don't lie about what Privacy Badger does because your ad model equates to spyware.

Looks fantastic! I love how he looks ferocious but also playful. Playcious?
Game #44 of 2025: Battlefield 6

Thoroughly mid, like one of the mediocre CoD campaigns. Some flashy setpoints, but a lot of drawn out levels, on rails segments and a story that's ridiculous but takes itself super seriously. I mean, if you buy the game, might as well try it I guess.
