Tears music video ends with Sabrina saying "You have to give the people what they want" and then immediately a John Carpenter reference with Sabrina Carpenter's Tears.

Am...I The People?

I am convinced that Donkey Kong Bananza is really just @nomansbsky.bsky.social Terrain Manipulator: The Game 🍌

I kinda want John Carpenter and his son Cody Carpenter to do an electronic album for Halloween with Sabrina Carpenter and to call the collaboration The Carpenters.

The "What's new in developing on Windows" talk has been my most anticipated the last few Builds.

This year's talk was great! Well done to you and all the team 🎉

"I can go and Google with Bing" 🤣

I love #MSBuild, but especially the talks with @scott.hanselman.com

Spending the afternoon catching up on the last few months of Edge magazines.

This is nice 🙂

@joe.inkle.co I just read the Feb 2025 issue of Edge and I love your suggestion in the Saving The Games Industry article.

I would love to see GDC take inspiration from academia and take place in a new location every year.

This is the best news! So happy the petition and everything else helped to secure the PCC.

I've been going ever since I moved to the UK decades ago. You're easily my favourite part of living in London 😍

Now let's get depressed at Bleak Week 🎉

“Yippee ki-yay…”

We are excited to tell everyone that Westminster Council decided on May 1st that the Prince Charles Cinema would be included in the list of Assets of Community Value maintained by the Council under section 87 of the Localism Act 2011.

I have to return some videotapes.

Encarta! Thanks for all the help with my homework in the 90s.

Say hi to Cinemania for me 😄

Everybody's favourite new Mario Kart character - Cow!

So there are food powerups in the new Mario Kart World.

What if you eat a hamburger while racing as Cow?

That's very close to my personal preference of following in The Way of The Wyld Stallyns.

The joy of still having a sizeable local music collection.

Spotify is down so I just flipped over to my local Nirvana, Metallica, etc albums as if nothing happened.

Maybe it's because I grew up in the 80s/90s but I have zero issue with Nintendo's pricing.

I was paying £30-40 for gigs back in the early 2000's but £35-50 for a game.

Now gigs are £180-300 while games are only now reaching that £60-75 bracket.

I'm surprised we've had it so good for so long tbh.

Ovechkin! 895!

Vibe coding makes you as much a programmer as that time I installed a no-solder drop-in LCD replacement into a Game Boy Advance turned me into an electrical engineer.

I got the job done (on the shoulders of experts) but I have zero clue how it actually works. Thankfully nothing went wrong.

A month ago Google search kept showing a ton of ads (often more ads than results).

It led me down a hole.

Switched to @kagi.com and will never look back.

Switched to Microsoft Launcher on my Pixel to use Kagi as quick search widget.

Edge as main browser.

Google pushed me past a tipping point 😲

The CD cover for Microsoft Cinemania 95 - an excellent resource to research movies at the time.

And the sequel, the sublime Microsoft Cinemania 🤩

Back up, back up (tell me, what ya gonna do now?)

Keep codin', codin', codin', codin'

Ahh yes I loved their latest album with such hits as:

"If Clippy Had A Son"
"You Must Burn...That CD!"
"Chasing Light Mode"

And my favourite "Defrag My Life Away!"

I'd recommend taking the opportunity to move it over to a standalone password manager like Bitwarden or 1Password.

I bet if I wore that I would feel like I could...like I could... ... ...like I could...

...TAKE ON THE WORLD!!

I've just started with Rust myself as a hobby language.

I found the ownership concept around variables and scope to be new enough compared to all other languages I have used before that the learning always felt fresh.
