Pumpkin pie is bad.

The great thing about Canada having Thanksgiving in October is that I can get my hot takes in before the rush.

Toronto.

Improbably, this episode titled Melancholic Murder Bug is not about Silksong.

Bsky image compression.

Oof.

I don’t really think of myself as a “takes a picture of the moon with a cell phone camera” guy, but here we are.

You ever give yourself a paper cut with aluminum foil? 0/10 experience.

This is the way.

As an immigrant to Canada I feel it’s my duty to call attention to the fact that the literal translation of the French version of the national anthem is metal as hell.

The problem with having metroidvania brain is that you start noticing breakable walls at the airport.

A very reasonable reaction to getting a big rock dropped on your noggin, in my opinion.

The definition of “washable” as applied to children’s art supplies is arbitrary and capricious.

It’s even more impressive when you remember that I don’t have an air dash.

I had to dispose of a spider in the bathtub just now and thanks to my recent Silksong experience I was able to beat it on the first run.

That’ll buy a lot of Timbits.

Ah! Well. Nevertheless.

Guys, stop what you’re doing. @friends-table.bsky.social did Restaurant Wars.

I don’t generally find NFL coaches in commercials believable, but I’m absolutely convinced that Dan Campbell loves riblets.

I finally had a chance to catch Superman and I think I can fairly say that @jamesgunn.bsky.social is the first filmmaker to fully realize the cinematic potential of hitting publish in the CMS.

Florida is the Sunshine State like Greenland is green.

I’m not sure why this ND game is being broadcast with the color grading of a Michael Bay movie.

Resist the urge to explain the joke.

This Ireland game is like the free bread at a restaurant. It’s not what anybody’s here for, but if you’re hungry you’ll eat it.

E.g.

The other accessibility option that can be useful is “Reduce Transparency”, but that one’s a bit more extreme and feels a little undercooked at this point still. “Increase Contrast” maintains some of the useful transparency, it just makes most of the UI elements more distinct and legible.

I’ve been running the iOS 26 beta on my phone and I really gave liquid glass a good-faith trial, but last night I flipped the “Increase Contrast” toggle to disable most of the effects and I don’t think I’m going back.

If you ask me, our industry has enough problems right now without Donkey Kong getting involved.

That is COOL 🎂
