Realised I haven't done an #introduction post. So I guess this will be it.
I'm a middle aged human male (mostly, I think) residing on a somewhat disgracefully warming rock spinning through space. Oh, you wanted specifics? Very well.
I'm also a multi-award winning Australian tech journo, ex editor of most of the good tech publications you've probably heard of, currently a freelancer and always on the hunt for work.
I also do a podcast called Vertical Hold: Behind The Tech News -- look it up and subscribe!
In my leisure time I'm keen on retrogaming, Godzilla, coffee, terrible jokes, the music of Prince, Weird Al and Howard Jones, professional wrestling and cats. I write short fiction in my spare time, and I'm trying to learn Japanese, though I'm pretty awful at it.
its an LEMMY instance..a #Fediverse version of #Reddit
you can answer to it from any mastodon instance you are on and participate in the discussion !😉 👍
The opening promo from Adam Copeland on this week’s #AEWDynamite was weird and felt forced. Him doing a pump up speech about how great/fun #AEW is after Punk’s recent comments just felt minor league. Then later on the same show they book an all-time awful match where Jay White gets beat up by Billy Gunn of all people for like 15 minutes straight then it ends in a DQ. Jay White’s run in AEW has been absolutely criminal.
Pretty good show, but I must say the audio mixing was flame-broiled arse. Any mic work came out super quiet so the audio on these is boosted. Shouldn’t blow out any ears but just be forewarned....
I REALLY wish Tony Khan would stop tweeting nonsense drama. It makes it hard to watch the show every week. Especially considering that their shows aren't that interesting...🤦♂️
One thing I don't see WWE do that I see AEW doing is Picture-in-Picture during commercials. It's SO neat to be able to still be able to see the match if they have to go to a commercial. Kinda makes me feel like I'm getting screwed cause "we gotta get our money, so fuck you".🤷♂️ 🤦♂️
Seems like @squaredcircle lives on in the Mastodon side of the Fediverse? I thought Lemmy didn't federate outside of Lemmy and Kbin instances, but apparently that's changed! Let's see how this implementation goes.
