I require the solace of the shadows.

I’m very disappointed about a lot of the criticism that #omarchy receives online, also from people I respect. The only strategy seems to be to organize mobs to cancel it and call people fascists. Why not use that energy to build something and make life better for someone?
Filed my first PR for #Omarchy – adding a caps lock indicator to the Plymouth unlock screen.

So I did actually get a deal on a #PS5pro for 899 Euros, I can pick it up early october. Will sell my old #PS5 and #XBox for it. RAM-winter can come, I’m set.
I wish I had upgraded my #PS5 to #PS5pro a couple of months ago, when it was about 650 euros (!). It seems now increasingly impossible, maybe this ship has sailed.
Ownership and physical media is a real conundrum. Even if physical would grant an irrevocable license to the whole experience, would never rot/corrupt, we still face the issue of compatible playing devices not working anymore, which would render every collection obsolete. There is only one real solution, #DRM free digital. #gaming
I recently heard someone say that UHD Blurays would be vastly superior to #Apple streaming quality and thought they were exaggerating. I’ve now purchased my first UHD Bluray (Dune part two) and I’m compl. blown away by the difference. The bitrate seems to be a big differentiator.
Podcasts are empty calories.
I'm totally down with the new #mtg Star Trek set but IMO everything beyond Voyager doesn't deserve a place in it. magic.wizards.com/en/news/featur…
Not a #Valve or #Steam fanboy, but calling fair pricing “crazy” is odd. Consoles sell at a loss, then recoup via subs and overpriced games.
So the Masters of the Universe movie was not great. The best part was the humour, and the way the movie held a mirror up to our reality, showing that it is just as weird as Eternia, its inhabitants, and its rituals.
The truth about vibe and agentic coding is that it's still a lot of work to create something of value for other people. It made me realize just how much of the work is actually a back and forth on features and implementation details. #ai
I very much prefer the #peertube @joinpeertube video and chapter controls over #YouTube – full chapter titles on hover, pearls on a string chapter marks. Well done.

Some people say that a team of 40 programmers gets reduced to 4 because #AI makes them 10x more productive and the other 30 are not needed anymore. But why would a company decide to keep their overall output the same? Why not keep everyone and 10x the company instead?
I recently updated my #Unity project from 2022 to 6.3 LTS and everything went absolutely flawlessly. Didn't expect that. Pretty impressive, I gotta say.
Everyone rightfully angry at #discord and #bigtech and searching for technical solutions, but remember what really makes them shit their pants: you talking to your neighbours again. #democracy #regulation
Bruce Sterlings speech from 1991 is a must-read for every #gamedev – still very relevant today. lib.ru/STERLINGB/stor…
(Found it via a recent blog post by Cory Doctorow which is also great in its own right: pluralistic.net/2026/02/23/goo…)
The Fairphone CEO put out a thoughtful article about diversity and then in the comment section, the social justice warriors tear him apart and are totally obnoxious, without even saying what they really criticise or would do different.

From all the stuff I got rid of over the years, I don't miss anything, can even hardly remember any of it – except #books. There are so many books I miss, I could make a list right now. I now get why some people have these huge shelves at home.
Even though I agree with the article, I don't want more machine recommendations for games – I want human curation. I want wacky people introduce me to wacky games. Something like the blogroll, but for games.
