Weirdly they are bringing back the PS/2 port.

One port!
Buy our special dongle to connect anything to it. It costs $200!
Barring an insane price jump, I may very well have a new little Mac Mini in a couple of weeks.
I’m very much due for an upgrade. But this one I’m using now has been really reliable for being 10 years old.
I happen to have a friend who works at Firaxis and worked on Midnight Suns. I am really happy for him/the team that game came out as well as it did.
The overworld running could certainly be better, but overall that game is super good. I really like the turn from Xcom of a somewhat fake 97% to hit (where your character right next to an alien will still miss) to simply having everything hit but it’s restricted by the skills you have at hand in that moment. I’d be more excited about a Midnight Suns 2 than Civ VII, honestly.
Excellent!
Kobo can connect to libraries via apps like Libby (or others), right?
I totally get that. And I have had that same experience once or twice. I break my own rule on those rare occasions where somehow the thing is only there.
The last time I bought from Amazon that I remember was in 2021 when I was putting together a new keyboard. Somehow they were the only ones that had the key caps I wanted. The only other place I could find them was Alibaba, and the shipping there was going to be literally 2 months according to the site.
But for normal items, I go to the seller as much as possible.*
(*And I know for some sellers it’s actually cheaper for them to use Amazon for shipping. I get it. But also, still, I don’t want to give Bezos money so I avoid it if possible.)
Reminder: don’t buy things from Amazon.
Like, anything.
“But fast shipping!” No. Stop. Most places now have pretty good shipping, often for free if you happen to buy a certain amount. It’s OK if the thing comes in 3-5 days and not tomorrow. You will survive.*
*I know there’s a couple of niche cases where some people do need things quick and Amazon serves that purpose. But 99.999% of things are not that.
“Bro I can’t wavedash in Ultimate.”
Switch 2 on the horizon, eh?
So…Smash Bros. Ultimate + to come out holiday 2026 or spring 2027?
Literally just fix the online experience and that game will live on forever.
What does “focuses on DEI” even mean? That it has non-white people?
Some stories don’t have straight, white people. That doesn’t mean there’s some agenda going on.
Wait, so the monitor has some sort of network capability?
I assume it’s full of streaming apps or something and they just also added this fun ad junk to it.
Besides the actual quality of the game, it seems like (stupid) people are complaining about DEI in this game? Why?
People are the worst.
If the 100 hours is all good content, then great!
But if a lot of that is padding, then not great.
I think I hit hour 37 or so of Metaphor today - I’ve been absolutely devouring it this week. And none of those hours have felt bad. I fully expect to get up towards 100 hours in this game (since I have 120 hours in Persona 5 Royal), but I also am pretty confident there’s not going to be much bullshit along the way. And I’m down for that.

Best chill weather: FFXIV
Turn off the music and sit in a zone listening to the rain and thunder while talking to friends. A+.
This game has excellent ambient sounds. I turn the music off often and just listen. Sometimes it’s fun to just wander or find a little nook to craft in nature.
I appreciate that.
I mean, I’m not offended or anything. But I just don’t have any NEED to see that stuff when I’m just checking to see what people are talking about.
And that, to me, is fine. People can be furries or like furries. I’m OK with that.
On Bluesky, however, there is/was a ton of furry content being posted, and not just drawings or simple photos. I sadly know what a furry, wolf penis looks like by just scrolling through the app. So the moderation lists are great.
I honestly don’t see a lot of furry stuff here in my feed or server. Or even in All when I browse that from time to time.
Bezos is also using his ownership of the Washington Post to silence the journalists there. So that’s fun.
