Happy ending. The Liquid Metal seems to be a success!
And to fix all the scratching on the unit itself, I got papa dbrand to provide a nice skin for the inner part, and replacement plates for the outer part.
Beautiful. 🤩

True to the seller's listing, the APU on the PS5 was completely dry in the middle, explaining why it was constantly overheating.
A quick refresh of the Liquid Metal and hopefully it's fixed. I mean. It still boots, but I'll have to do a proper test to see if it still overheats. XD

It's a public holiday in Japan today. So I figured I'd spend it reapplying Liquid Metal to this dirt cheap PS5 I bought off Mercari. Hopefully I can't make it any worse. 😅

Happy Lunar New Year!
For fellow achievement hunters, today is the day you can get the Lunar New Year achievement in 3DMark.
Apparently you have to score a "great" or higher to unlock the achievement. I might be screwed here. 😅

I bought one of them Moment anamorphic lenses during the pandemic but never used it.
Tokyo is so pretty that I promised myself I'd give it another try.

After like 8 years of gaming, the WASD keys on my ASUS keyboard started wearing off.
I contacted ASUS support, but of course they apparently don't have any replacement keys at all for this keyboard anymore. 😐
Luckily some cool (revenue) cats were able to hook me up in Singapore. 🤩

I was pretty surprised/humbled/had to have a bit of a chuckle when I discovered that the Bluesky iOS client is using my open source image cropper library.
Mastodon’s iOS client is also using it, so between these two and Threads, I’m apparently an active code contributor to all three platforms. 🤣

For the folks wondering why I suddenly started posting here. 😛
It’d been on my list to set up crossposting so I wasn’t Threads-exclusive for a while.
But given recent events, now seemed like a better time than most to diversify. 😅
Shout-out to the Croissant app for making crossposting so easy!

Made it safely back to Tokyo! Singapore was absolutely incredible and I'm sad it's over already.
The last time I brought back some SG snacks for my team, they deleted it all in less than 2 days haha. Let's see how long these last. 🤣
I'll post more pics of the SG trip when I can!

First day of iOS Conf SG 2025! It's so good to be back! 😁
Up first, Paul's running an hands-on Swift workshop where everyone pitches in to critique a sample app he provided. 🤩
It's yielded some extremely deep discussions about Swift. 😆

I haven't streamed in a very long time, but I figured I should change that starting this year. 😆
Playing some Splatoon 3 now. Come watch me get absolutely flattened by pro Japanese players. 🥲
