Excited to replace my CPU-bottlenecked HTPC with the new Steam Machine next year. (Loving the product shots in the announcement video too - no 3D renders here!) youtu.be/OmKrKTwtukE

The PS2 truly is the best console ever because it is constantly becoming more powerful. Each time we say something "looks like a PS2 game" we're talking about a game of a higher fidelity than the last. What the PS2 is capable of in 2025 is so far beyond what it was capable of in 2003. That's amazing

Sorry about Amazon’s worldwide cloud-based server infrastructure, everyone. I unplugged it to charge my phone. I’m almost up to 80% so it’ll just be a few minutes.

Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.

A little utility I use whenever I have to wipe down my Mac is CleanupBuddy by @inside.bsky.social. Locks your keyboard and trackpad so there’s no accidental input :)

The silly app that helps you clean your Mac's keyboard and trackpad.
