YESSSSS! It’s been a frustrating Monday, but things just got a little brighter. Long live physical media!

@dlove67 that’s certainly a valid thing to be jealous about. I think the last truly awesome collectors edition game I bought on PC was Fallout 4. They’re so rare these days.

Dear ice cream trucks: why do you play songs like “Silent Night” and “When the Saints Go Marching In?”

This sunflower is NOT messing around. Only 7 weeks ago, this was a seed in the ground. Today it's 5 feet 4 inches tall! (~164cm for my European friends)

@tylnesh Hey nice! Herbs aren’t always the easiest to grow. Funny story about my mint: I sowed it in a big grow bag a few weeks. Not a single sprout appeared — but it IS start to pop up in roughly 10 different places in my raised beds 🤣

Essential weekend listening as the weather heats up!

The first time I bought this album, I was 12 years old. I'd heard "Pour Some Sugar On Me" on the radio and almost immediately rode my bike to The Wherehouse and spent my hard-earned lawn-mowing money on the cassette. Outside of Pyromania and Hysteria, I didn't really stick with Def Leppard, but this album is absolutely timeless for me.

The top ~50 Google searches are people typing in websites without the .net or .com because they can't remember the full domain name. (Including "google" which is hilarious.)

Is this a sad reflection on society, or proof that we need a more advanced search engine that actually answers questions rather than simply serving up promoted links and SEO-optimized clickbait.

I'm tentatively excited about this rumored ChatGPT search engine, even if I still have reservations about the future of AI.

The more I think about it, I realize I just want to see Google/Alphabet taken down a few pegs. But the more I think about that, I realize the inevitability of whatever does take down Google eventually becoming another soulless megacorp hell-bent on profits above anything else.

Sigh

I’m gonna go outside.

I don’t always share food photos, but when I do, it’s because an ingredient came from my . In this case, two! The rocky arugula and the cilantro, which both added a delicious little kick to the tacos.

Soon, those tomatoes will be from the garden too (and the tortillas will be homemade).

Side note: I’m AMAZED at the difference between store-bought vs home grown cilantro and arugula.

Achievement unlocked yesterday: First 20-mile (32km) ride... EVER! Got to feast my eyes on beautiful orchards and farmland, Bear Creek, and Black Rascal creek.

This ride felt like tangible proof that my decision to ditch alcohol and eat healthier (more cooking from scratch, less ultra processed foods) is paying off.

Life is good.

Break's over. The music is calling, so it’s time to get back to work. This is a song-in-progress called “Fool Me Once.”

Helldivers 2 is the perfect model for a live-service game. The progression is brisk -- you can unlock multiple rewards after almost every session -- the cosmetics and premium battle passes can be earned quickly just by playing, and it definitely doesn't hurt that the game itself is an absolute blast.

If you haven't checked it out, is basically a 3rd person Left 4 Dead meets Halo with a Starship Troopers vibe.

AND PEOPLE ACTUALLY PLAY THE OBJECTIVE!

I absolutely love it.

I’ve been playing and enjoying games like Virtua Tennis 4 for more than a decade, and these jokers want to come along and say “we’re absolutely shutting down your SINGLE PLAYER game in two years.”

My new life goal is to have a 20+ acre homestead by the time I'm 50. A forever home. Somewhere semi-remote and surrounded by forest. Less people and more animals. Less technology. Less preservatives and toxins. Less noise. Less light pollution. Less reliance on anyone but myself and the land.

Pretty wild that Bethesda was like "NAH, you don't need to adjust any graphical settings for on Steam Deck."

(Tip: you can add "SteamDeck=0 %command%" to the launch settings to reinstate the launcher that has said graphics settings, but still. HUGE foul on the play.)

I didn't expect to fanboy out over a Cards View update that just landed in Beta 126.0b1, but here we are. I LOVE IT! It’s a MAJOR visual improvement, and I’m ridiculously proud of our UX team for landing it.

This also needs to be repeated over and over: our team growth and user growth, all the visual and technical improvements, our increasing sustainability, NONE of it would be possible without the generosity of our donors.

Garden update: Blossom Edition!

Every day I’m waking up to new life in the garden and I’m constantly amazed at the rapid growth out there.

Pictured here: Purple Emperor Nasturtium, Yukon Gold potato, Red Pride tomato, and Hearts of Gold cantaloupe.

I just spotted this little praying mantis hanging out in my basil plant… which has never been outside.

Don’t know how it got inside, but I introduced it to the garden. It will undoubtedly have a lot more fun out there!
