Crunch is bad. Crunch ruins lives. Crunch kills. Don't ask for it. Don't do it. It's bad. I can't believe I still have to say this after all these years.

Elon Musk has proudly built an AI that can be exploited for what is basically child pornography. Meanwhile, Elon Musk is calling for the execution of his political opponents. And people are… ok with this?

Charlie KIrk believed that empathy was a "new concept" that shouldn't exist, so anyone who expresses condolences for him is being VERY disrespectful to his beliefs right now. please keep him out of your thoughts as he begins his transition into worm food. thank you

Turns out my last save was literally next to the boss room for The Hollow Knight. Thanks me 5 years ago. Finished him off though! Time for Silksong..

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Finally saw Mission Impossible 8. Looked great in IMAX! Definitely suffers from “finale syndrome” trying to tie a whole franchise together. Didn’t feel like almost 3 hours though. MI:Fallout remains my favorite.

PostNL stelt me vandaag echt weer enorm teleur. Moederdagcadeau komt dus gewoon te laat terwijl hij vanmorgen nog op schema lag.

Marvel’s Thunderbolts was really good. Make by people who know what they’re doing. It has a heart and vision (no pun intended).

Also, Retroarch is the worst emulation interface imaginable. It's so backwards and overly complicated for an essentially simple task. You can't even just load a game and play it directly.

I finally tried to put my Xbox Series S in developer mode for some emulation goodness. Sadly due to sandboxing its been hours and I haven't been able to play a single thing. It's tough getting any file into the right folder so an app can read it. So disappointing.

Just finished Daredevil: Born Again, and I have to say it stretches credulity that it depicts a convicted criminal becoming a political leader and implementing authoritarian rule in the United States. Oh wait…
