Big tip! If Steam isn't working out, try the Humble Store! #silksong www.humblebundle.com/store/hollow...
Silksong's first boss is tricky as hell
Not a coincidence, if Nintendo and PlayStation are any indication 🥲
Its been 7 years, what’s another day 💀
I love you folks, but I really wish preorders had been an option 😅
The hunt is on! Hollow Knight: Silksong is available now on all platforms, including day one on Xbox Game Pass!
Nintendo eShop and Steam are getting destroyed right now. #silksong
Now iOS is getting a redesign that I’m not sure about, and I’m finding all these little annoyances (stable and beta) that feel like death by a thousand paper cuts.
I switched away from the Nexus 6 with the battery swelling, plus Android at the time underwent a redesign I didn’t care for. Conversely, iPhones were getting bigger and iOS was getting more powerful.
Anybody else sincerely considering switching from iPhone to Pixel (or other Android)? 😬
I don't understand why The Vergecast has chapters for its YouTube videos and not for its audio only podcast. @theverge.com
Don’t trust the experts”? That’s not democracy, that’s recklessness. On a plane, I want a pilot. In a hospital, I want doctors and scientists who understand the evidence. Expertise isn’t religion or authoritarianism — it’s training, accountability, and data. Ignore it and we all pay the price.
I mean... they already made the iCloud app for Windows and the aforementioned companion browser extension. Clearly they want to support Windows to a certain extent. I'm sure passkey support will come at some point.
I would have paid $40 and thanked them.
Ironically, the Apple-made iCloud Passwords browser extension for Windows doesn't support passkeys at all yet. 😅
Apple is working with YouTube on integrating app intents? YouTube is… not the greatest example of a good iOS app.
These are people who served honorably, were terminated wrongfully, and whose only crime is being trans.

Not sure if you’re a fan of Adventure Time, but this situation reminds me of something…
'Little Mage' announced for PC and all major consoles. Kickstarter coming soon. store.steampowered.com/app/3699390/... youtu.be/iG2rvO4P3VY?...
Giant Bomb lives! Fandom has sold the site to us and it is now fully independent and employee-owned. We'll see you all on Tuesday for the Giant Bombcast. For more info right now, head over to www.giantbomb.com/join
Getting ready for my new job! 👀
So the USA aren’t the only ones losing the plot. That’s… not great.
Confused about how being gay is a personal choice, but otherwise agreed!
Yikes. Guess I was luckier than I thought.
I really hope they give us some details on what the updates/upgrades for the Switch 2 are actually going to be for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Oh wow, I had the opposite experience. Hope this means you got it!
I'll admit, I was not expecting the additional line / wait for the Pro controller. Back to the waiting game I go. #Switch2
Yeah, that thing wrecked me.
As long as I get a Switch 2 I don't care! 🤖
Haha same, what is up with the "robot or not"?
Are you in line? If so, I promise there is an end to the line.
It showed that for me for like the first 30 minutes. Not sure what that was all about.
Best Buy worked out for me. It was a rough wait though.
GOTTEM! Thanks Best Buy! #Switch2
I know there are worse things going on in the world, but this is making me very sad right now. Out of stock at Target, Walmart thinks I'm a robot, still "in line" at Best Buy
I am getting *destroyed*. Walmart, Target, Best Buy all failing.
I am getting destroyed right now. Target is down, Best Buy is "coming soon", Walmart is stuck on verifying that I'm a human.
Whenever I hear Elon talk about topics I'm well versed in it's the dumbest shit I've ever heard. How he's still seen as 1000 IQ giga Genius is beyond me.
I think everyone who has done any kind of computer anything knows that tapes are the best value cold storage, and that cloud storage is probably the worst and most expensive. You need to know how fucking stupid these people are. It isn't just a few things, it's everything
Introducing STARSEEKER, a brand new game from the developers of ASTRONEER. STARSEEKER is all about the joy of discovery and the camaraderie that emerges from an evolving, cooperative experience. We hope you'll enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed making it... sometime in 2026.
hey so uh one of the main Nintendo Switch 2 Direct streams completely ate our trailer due to I guess technical difficulties?? so if you guys could share this it would mean a lot 😅
Would love a Xenogears remaster, never got to finish it.
“There are more trans people than there are red heads” Wow! TIL
I hate this dumb day.
Dear tech companies, We all know what tomorrow is. Don’t do it. It’s not endearing or funny like it use to be. Just let this one go.
Kinda feels like software development is going that way these days.
There is still one Unown in my Legends: Arceus game, and I’ve resigned myself to never finding it.
Disappointing but not surprising. It will be interesting to see what, if anything, they will add post release.
That’s only a portion of it. Home doesn’t have to deal with any of the actual battle mechanics.
Some Pokémon have different moves, or Abilities, or stats etc. depending on what game they’re in. The mechanics of those things change between games sometimes too. There has to be a way to reconcile all that. It’s an interesting problem and I’m looking forward to seeing what they came up with.
Can’t wait to find out.
I have so many questions. What Pokémon/moves/held items will be allowed, and what will be cut? Will there ever be Dynamax or Z-Moves? How will they balance everything? How will Pokémon from different games battle each other? Mechanics based on a specified game, or Champions’ own mechanics?
I still believe @joemerrick.bsky.social 😜
Battle Sim today, RPG tomorrow 😬
I know this game isn't Steam Deck verified yet, but is it playable?
I'm a papa now 🥲
I think I’m OK with all of these except random encounters.
Janet Mills, the Democratic governor of Maine, challenged President Trump during a White House meeting on Friday. The fight has thrust Mills onto the national stage, making her a folk hero to her party and a political target. Here's what to know.
this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.
He’s a petulant child.
Not a trans person, not a gay person, not a drag queen Just yet another cis straight man in a position of power
Ok, where is Smallville? www.polygon.com/news/518576/...

Mine was VB6, although technically I could argue it was whatever the Casio calculator I used in 10th grade supported...

Gather round kids and let me tell you a story about a real technology ban...
If you make a video game that requires a constant internet connection for single player mode just for DRM… eat me.
Watched the Superman teaser this morning. I’m wary, but cautiously optimistic. I think James Gunn and David Corenswet understand who Superman is. I just hope they help everyone else understand it too. That said, there are… a lot of other characters appearing in this teaser. Maybe too many?

Looks like I’m giving Micro.blog another go. A bit late perhaps, but it turns out owning your own content is pretty appealing.
Bundles of nostalgia
So @atp.fm talked a bit about Siri in their recent episode, and I’d like to share this fun little frustration.
It’s true @liss.bsky.social, New Milford is lame 😅
Listened to Connected today, and apparently @viticci.macstories.net is a real developer now, because there is nothing more “real dev” (or more satisfying) than deleting huge amounts of code.
If you're a trans, start stockpiling hormones and look into DIY HRT. Change your gender markers on identity documents now and get your passports updated ASAP. Start building community because we're only going to have each other.

I had great need of this so I created it and figured I’d share it: “put that cookie down, now!“ From the movie Jingle All the Way. www.icloud.com/shortcuts/ea...
Is it equally funny that the same company that owns the Simpsons also owns X-Men now?
information security is a joke because you can be as secure as you want but the big companies and banks will just screw up over and over and spray your data everywhere and say "whoopsie doopsie uwu"

Michael's random thought of the day: If "Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" existed in the world of D&D (as like a stage show or whatever?), it wouldn't be a fantasy, it would be a crime thriller.
Sort of, but it’s basically a basement.
I'll have worked at home for 4 years in a couple months. How does that make me feel?
That is meant to be a gif. 😅
