I don't know if anything in the Trump election speech last night is true or not, but here's the thing - if it is true, no one is going to jail for it, so who cares? You might as well not even bothered releasing the info.

One thing I admire about Boomers is their complete ignorance of the HR hellscape that we face in 2026. They just don't fucking care and its great.

"Fortunately we have a product for people who don't want some some form of digital library; it's called the Playstation 2" - Hideaki Mattrick

The pinacle of AI advancement will be when it can produce new, 22 minute long episodes of Seinfeld with a hint for the theme and a push of a button. At that point, humans will be obsolete.

I could PR my way out of this Sony debacle. I would say as a console company, we've been increasingly concerned with discs not having full builds and being unplayable without downloads. To protect players against this issue, we ended disc support. We are reversing course, but going forward all disc versions will need to pass a more stringent test and be released at least 6 months after the digital version to ensure build quality. They save face, depreciate physical further (which is what they actually want), but make discs better for the subset that likes physical media (for the time being). Reframe and delay - just keep boiling the frog.

There is no point in console gaming at this point. Just get a PC, and I say this as someone who plays on console 90% of the time.

I dunno if this is corporate backtracking or always the plan, but I'm okay with this approach. I can wait for a physical copy.

Owning physical media is really just betting that a company with a digital storefront is more likely to screw you over than your house burning down - which I dont know the odds, maybe 1% to 2% over a lifetime (3% to 5% if your wife tries to cook everything with high heat).

Smart people preorder their digital games. What if the stores run out?!

Popehat getting banned from BlueSky might be the funniest thing I've read all morning.

I really don't understand console generations at this point. If the PS6 will be backwards compatable with PS4 and PS5 games, and you are an indie dev, why not make a PS4 game? Why does the number of the console mean something is outdated versus the power needed to run the game?

A thought: in jury selection, as the defense, attempt to stack the jury with incels to protect against high value loss of consortium demands that could resonate with jurors.

When rewatching old shows, a general rule of thumb for me is to skip: * clip show episodes * episodes where they turned it into a musical * episodes that rely heavily on dream sequences It's not 100%, but as a general rule it works well.

Historical societies are funny things: "Oh man, I'd love to see how Main Street looked in the 70's." "Sorry, the best we can do is the 1870's"

Zoomers like to shit on Millennials for their pretentious hipster craft beers, but they fail to see it as an example of local brands clawing back market share from mega brands like Budweiser. Would have been cool if this trend continued and pulled in other products.

If a subsidiary isn't performing, you try to reform it, then sell it, then close it. If it can't be sold, that usually is an indicator of its standalone value. I know people are upset about the Xbox studio closures, and its sucks for the employees, but honestly I'm not shocked.

I find it funny that the NES was known for smooth scrolling, and basically every indie release reverts back to single-screen gaming. I get why, but still. These indie releases felt charming at first, now it feels like slop. Start incorporating scrolling...

More progress on my Santroller build. This is a PS3 Rock Band 2 wireless guitar. I 3d printed an new input jack as well as a mount for my pico. I started extending wires so they plug in. The whammy, tilt, pickup selector, and home button are still left to do (ran out of solder)
