Lanterns Season Finale: 👍

Someday I'll have fiber internet and I'll be unstoppable. And on that day, the world will rue the days that I didn't have it.

My second plugin for Obsidian is now published. This one enhances the built-in Slides plugin to break notes into simple slides for standup meetings, or when you want to quickly share information without having to build a fancy slide deck. community.obsidian.md/plugins...

Oh happy day! There's a Virtual Boy core for Analogue Pocket!

It's time for the yearly review of iPhone cameras from Austin Mann. And this year's examples just show how good the cameras are. Seriously just go look at the photographs! And so many new pro controls right in the app. I need to get out and start shooting. www.austinmann.com/trek/iphon...

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." - Arthur C. Clarke I used to view this quote: as society progresses, we'll understand magic over time. Now, I view it backwards and people still don't appreciate the magic and become more technologically superstitious.

Before everyone freaks out about AI with the Apple updates this week: read up on it. Apple is doing this significantly differently than other providers and services. And it's one of the reasons it took this long. support.apple.com/en-lk/guide...

According to Circana's Future of Insights for Video Games Consumer Survey, cost is becoming a stronger driver of US cancellations to Xbox Game Pass Essential, PS Plus Essential and Nintendo Switch Online. Over 40% of those canceling in the US cite cost as a primary driver, higher than seen in Q1.

Guess what? I published my first Obsidian plugin to the community and you can find it here: community.obsidian.md/plugins... It's a view for an Obsidian Base to view it in a Wikipedia like release timeline. It's based on an older Dataview plugin. It's good for a quick visual reference by date.

Maybe Ocarina of Time is actually a good game?

Gamescom is already next week? Time is schmovin' man.

Why Do I Like E Ink So Much? I'm head over heels for E Ink. Literally, I tripped over a Kindle and I'm writing this from the floor.

So far I've enjoyed playing Marvel Tōkon. It's hard to say if this is going to be any more accessible or inviting than other fighting games to bring in new players. The artstyle and presentation is top notch.

it's so vital to have journalists who cover the video game industry, so we have full context on shit like this

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

Day 2 of Meal-Morial Madness is already underway. We're at $1868.41 for Feeding America. Let's keep that going! 4score7pongs.com/mmm

Tomorrow I'm playing Star Fox 64 at 9 pm ET, and it's a head-to-head matchup against @wyomingjarbo.com ! We start together at Corneria before branching off. He's taking the hard route toward Sector Y, and I'm going through the asteroid field before meeting up at Area 6. Who wins? Feeding America.

The best Memorial Day weekend charity livestream you've never heard of starts tomorrow at 12PM EDT! We're raising money for Feeding America and playing games from the late 1900s to modernity. Get hype! 4score7pongs.com/mmm

I am moving one of the things on my list for Meal-Morial Madness to the next year. Because I realized it coincided with something I've already got planned, and I don't want to do double work. Future Jared please don't be mad. But look at me, being smart and not overdoing it.

I just backed Age of Empires: How Ensemble Studios Made History on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/gab...

More Meal-Morial Madness behind the scenes (MMMMBTS?). Reminding myself once again, it's probably not a good idea to redo something all over again a month in advance. But 2027, now we're talking. Points if this doesn't sound like gibberish to you.

I now know more about N64 controller pak storage than I wanted to know.

Oh man, such an exciting weekend. Repairing shower grout, and replacing refrigerator air filters. I live an exciting life that most aspire to. Phew.

I do believe a good number of people just have BAD taste. Regarding DLSS 5, I think the examples they used were really bad, and overwriting artist intent. Plus there's no evidence that the generative capabilities especially regarding human faces are going to stay consistent. This video does a […]

Meal-Morial Madness 2026 is a go!

Do you remember when people would go to conferences and then live tweet random phrases and hashtags out as if it was information the world had never been exposed to? "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't increase your b2b sales. #horse #water #b2b #leadership #synergy #BizCon2014 "

"The difference from corporate social media comes down to incentive structures. Platforms designed around narcissism and parasocial relationships produce content optimized for engagement. A federated network with no central owner produces something closer to actual knowledge-sharing, because nobody
