The concept of a co-op Horizon game is excellent, and I would have loved something like that.

Oh and my friend gifted me a copy of Darktide, which is a lot more fun than I expected. Been playing quite a bit of that.

Monthly post about my current games: Witcher 3 Wild Hunt is Very Good! Writing seems pretty spot on as well. I don't know how far into it I am, but I feel like CD Projekt Red did a great job reconciling some of the rough plotlines from the earlier games with the way the novels ended.

Replied to two tweets today and immediately regretted it both times. The few accounts I follow that refuse to abandon the hate-filled fascist-backed site continue to bait me. Lesson learned.

When you start talking like a JRPG villain, you should know you've lost the plot.

Steam removing the clown emoji award in 2026 is kinda funny. People will always find a way to be sarcastic and toxic, so good luck trying to police it all.

Three animated raccoons standing in the snow under a large evergreen tree. The left raccoon wears a red scarf and waves happily. The middle raccoon, smaller and wearing a pink hooded outfit, raises both arms excitedly. The right raccoon, dressed in a red and yellow jacket, holds a yellow object in one raised hand and waves with the other, mouth open as if singing or cheering. The background shows a snowy landscape with a light blue sky.

The Raccoons remains a beloved Canadian television show 40 years after it debuted.
But the story of The Evergreen Forest and its inhabitants all began with a Christmas Special that aired in 1980.
This is the story of The Christmas Raccoons.

Software development is about people. Not about tools, ai, agents. Not about code.

The people. Building any software requires collaboration, building any software requires understanding needs of your users.

Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say β€œI don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that
