Nothing better than coming into a Monday at work to do a thing and discovering that past you has already completed said thing.

Well, I've sadly had to replace those Galaxy Buds I got for "free" in 2019 as part of my mobile plan.

And I've replaced them with...a pair of Galaxy Buds2 that have been sitting unboxed in a drawer since 2022 when I got them for "free" with a phone purchase.

As Sony considers more PS5 price hikes, we've officially entered a terrible new era Switch 2, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5 users will be wrung dry by gaming companies in an effort to mitigate the rising memory crisis caused by AI

If you're going to get one, you might want to get it soonish. There's apparently another price hike on the way:

Made entirely from hand-drawn animations, it uses cell animation techniques inspired by 1960s-era Disney. I would *love* to know how much this cost to make.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Scotty taught me everything I know about working.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Had a Total Budget of $315 Million Leaked Insomniac documents also reveal projected budgets of $305 million and $385 million for Marvel's Wolverine and Marvel's Spider-Man 3 respectively.

Also not sure how you recoup money in a world where these games cost $315 million to develop.

Seems like you would need as many potential purchasers as possible.

Excluding cross-gen (PS4/5) + remakes, Sony's developed 6 single player games since 2020?

- Astro's Playroom
- Astro Bot
- Ratchet & Clank
- Spider-Man 2
- Ghost of Yotei
- God of War Sons of Sparta

Can't say I'm impulse buying a $499 PS5 for that. And there's more price hike's coming.

Really curious to see how this plays out for them given both rising component and development costs.

It's not 2004 where there was a plethora of Sony-developed games and I could get a Playstation Slim for $149.

Joining a curling bonspiel this weekend. 🥌

At the best of times our club's ice could be called "disappointing".

It's going to be 16C outside on Saturday, so I'm really curious to see how the ice holds up in our ~135 year old building.

Microsoft gets tired of “Microslop,” bans the word on its Discord, then locks the server after backlash Microsoft blocks the word Microslop on its Copilot Discord, bans users, and locks channels after backlash, showing tensions around its AI push

Microsoft is really committed to the Streisand effect.

I hope more Canadian universities follow @uwaterloo.ca and ditch Twitter.

Earbuds. The left earbud is at an 80% charge while the right is at 5%. The right is discharging at an abnormal rate/cannot maintain a full charge.

🎶 And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full 🎶

David Bowie - Lazarus (Official Video) [HD] YouTube video by David Bowie

David Bowie - "Lazarus"

Director: Johan Renck

A fitting premeditated farewell from David Bowie. You're likely also familiar with Renck, who directed HBO's excellent Chernobyl (2019) series.

I am so very tired of the United States.

The continuation of #JasonDoesEverything means I'm soon going to be responsible for the ongoing recording and archiving of video at work.

I'm reaaaally hoping those hard drive prices come back down to earth before I need the space.
