However you feel about Steve Jobs you should check out this website. I love this design.

As someone who makes bad websites, I’m always in awe of this clean crisp easy to navigate design style. I can download the book without giving my email address as just a normal […]

Another great #Warhammer40k match. I’m still trying to get my head around Tyranids as an army but starting to get the gist of it. Very different play style from Dark Angels which is more of a slow moving melee freight train you can’t stop and I can just delete problems as they come up.

- VS […]

This is a big deal for any game devs out there. This CVE has been out under NDA for a little while so most big devs should already have patches out. https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux/115311748946761196

First hospitals, then airports. Now cyber criminals are attacking something I actually care about. https://social.lol/@hl/115311348467245984

My favorite part of #alienearth is how they give you the future we were afraid of in the late 70s/80s which were Japanese megacorps taking over the world AND the hellscape we actually ended up with which is megacorps run by annoying man children whose businesses rely on exploiting children.

Finally got a few #Warhammer40k matches lined up since the nerfs. Was excited to get out there. I took Tyranids since lately I’ve been really enjoying how complicated you can get with them (even if they’re not doing great in the meta).

I was also lucky to play against some WAY more talented […]

One thing I've never understood. Why do corporate travel portals exist? I have a corporate card, I know how to book a flight from A to B, I understand the concept of a budget.

Instead of doing this the normal way that works, I instead go through a way worse web portal where somehow the prices […]

Look however you feel about #LLM I have tried out this mod for Animal Crossing on the GameCube to inject LLM text into the villagers prompts and it’s extremely good. https://github.com/vuciv/animal-crossing-llm-mod #retrogaming #gamecube #animalcrossing

Listening to two Scottish people argue is my favorite people watching. It's an intense, high-speed exchange of pure, unadulterated passion and every curse word in the book.

One consequence of being the oldest of 4 children is now I overcompensate for my childhood birthdays sucking by way overdoing it for my single child.

“Honey what’s the […]

My apartment building management keeps changing companies and the latest one has become convinced I own a motorcycle and I'm illegally parking it. The frustrating thing is they never come on-site, so I can't talk to them in person.

Manager: "You had better move your motorcycle today or we're […]

I feel like the #warhammer shop in #copenhagen knows how to work me like an old fashioned used car salesman. “I’m just here for some paints!” “Sure friend, whoops, dropped those new Saturnine Terminators in front of you!”

“Hahaha I don’t even play Horus! Plus look at […]

I like the way that my friend who loves sailing deals with a fear of sharks. He just decides based on no information that “this ocean” doesn’t have sharks. Basically if he likes a section of ocean, it has no sharks.

“Hawaii doesn’t have sharks.” I don’t think that’s right?

I’m confused because I thought that the #dma specifically blocked #apple from doing this. Also to anyone who sees this, setting up #ghost on your own server is very easy and I’m more than happy to help. https://io.mwl.io/@mwl/115130185235411554

How #denmark notifies me about when to vaccinate my kid is hilariously aggressive. I love vaccines, but it’s like three text messages and an email before 9 AM. Like I promise I will do it, like I’ve done every single other time you emailed me once.

The real downside of your anniversary being the same as your sister in law is when she gets a Lamborghini for her 1 year anniversary. Then you need to spend an hour both admiring the new car on a video call and deflecting the topic from coming around to what you purchased, which is not in the […]
