This is not what I meant 😂

Nothing like waiting over a decade for a new game in a series to come out, only to have our hopes dashed by a lacklustre or maybe even disastrous launch.

Let the devs cook 👨‍🍳

Fable title card

I'm happy that Fable got delayed ⏳

With the mainline series not seeing the light of day since Fable 3 (2010), any extra time put toward making the series' comeback the best it can be is absolutely welcome.

Remember when we were comparing the zoomed in eyeballs of Aloy from Horizon and Senua from Hellblade 2?

I've never once zoomed in on the eyeball of a character and thought "Yep, this game sucks"

🧵 2/2

Artwork from the game Avowed on Game Pass

I find the consistent "controversy" over every game release exhausting

Is Avowed good? Bad? Absolute trash? A masterpiece?

Used to be able to tell generally from reviews (I realize it's all subjective), but man, every game seems to have a controversy these days...

Trying out ChatGPT 03-mini-high for the first time and it shares its reasoning

As a gamer, I spend probably 30% of any calendar year in the sewers

Microsoft Copilot desktop app asking to turn on the keyboard shortcut Alt + Space to talk to it anytime.

Not the same keyboard shortcut as ChatGPT 😅

What happened to Win + C?

I should rename myself "Matt Lawrence Copilot"

If they ever make a "Nosferatu" sequel, it'll be a missed opportunity if it's named anything but "Nosfera2"

This Sora video makes me think of those fake mobile game ads

Push notifications that don't clear when clicked and only open the app instead of where the notification is from are diabolical

I'm on a quest to lower the amount of push notifications I receive on my phone

The sheer amount of categories and notification types some apps have is astonishing.

You shut one or two off and the others start chiming in more often, conveniently

All this family time the past couple days has really taught me the true meaning of B2B sales

Does anyone actually use the Channels tab on the Outlook mobile app?

Stop Using Divs for Everything! Master Semantic HTML, Custom Attributes, and Accessibility Stop using divs for everything! Give this podcast episode a listen to learn the importance of semantic HTML, accessibility, and powerful custom attributes.

Stop using <div> for everything! 🤯

This week we dive into good HTML:

✅ Semantic tags like <header> and <article>
✅ Using data-* for cleaner code
✅ HTML’s for accessibility

HTML isn’t “basic”—it’s the foundation of great websites.

Good and more complex (and important) than you think!

Doing a bit of housekeeping on the HTML All The Things website today.

Finally replaced the Google Podcasts logo with YouTube Music

We'll see how long YouTube Music + Podcasts lasts...

Very smart feature, the 24-hour location pause is great if you can't easily locate the tracker in a larger area like a car.

A screenshot of the new ChatGPT project feature

I didn't know ChatGPT projects were coming, but I'm super excited to try them out

The different chats that always open up and save when you engage with an LLM is not-so-great UX in my opinion.

This could be a step forward in improving the overall UX of ChatGPT for everyday use.

Me on the golf course in the summer

Getting festive with Sora

...Large waves batter the ship and toss it about violently. A small light from a lighthouse can be seen in the distance. The lighthouse is also being splashed against by large waves. Lightning flashes across the sky as violent thunder erupts to compliment each flash"

Decided to try subject matter that didn't involve people as I think we can identify that they're not real too easily.

It resulted in the first video that is largely an animated still - I really enjoy it.
