What is it about in-laws and thinking that "L:\Backup of OneDrive files to get rid of OneDrive\Another Backup of OneDrive\OneDrive_Recovered\OneDrive\Desktop" is a good place to put their most important files?
Tech tip: If the drive that your Windows desktop lives on is inaccessible, Microslop Office just silently refuses to open anything.
This tech tip is brought to you by my in-laws.
Bluesky is such a different place from here.
A post of mine got 20 likes and a few boosts over there, but zero interaction beyond that.
That same post here got a very similar number of likes and boosts, but also spawned 18 comments across 4 threads. It also was very likely seen by fewer people.
Not that I'm necessarily disliking Bluesky because of that. I just have the impression that it and fedi are being used pretty differently. I find it hard to trust when people directly compare the two.
But I do have way more mutuals here than on Bluesky, so this whole thing could be massively biased and should be taken with a grain of salt. I'm curious to know others' experience though. It seems like mutuals aren't a big part of the culture over on Bluesky.
DOOM Eternal is so freakin' good.
Today I got one of those Xteink X4 readers that's gotten so popular!
I'm already loving the size. It's more comfortable to read on than I was expecting too.
Finally finished Doom 2016. Now on to Eternal.
I loved 2016 and I've only heard better things about Eternal.
Amaze amaze amaze!

I just remembered I have a PS2. I really need to get around to modding that.
Hopefully HDD prices aren't in funny mode right now? Or maybe there's another method for loading games that's more popular these days.
Apparently my blog post on fixing the texture streaming in Control has become the page everyone links to whenever the issue comes up in the game's community. Glad it's helping people.
If you're writing any kind of guide, I still think one of the best places to put it is your own website.
Started testing out Bluesky again a few days ago. Already regretting it. Too much weird fetishy stuff in the discover feed, but how else am I supposed to find people?
Neat article!

Having a great time watching everyone trash Nvidia's DLSS 5 and Digital Foundry's shilling of it. This is the first new tech I've seen introduced to gaming that's so bad, it's actually kind of upsetting.

New blog post! I recently finished my first ever freelance game dev project. Godot is a great tool and I'm looking forward to doing more game dev stuff in the future.
Teaching your cat to play the piano in exchange for treats seems like a fun idea at first. It's not.
I'm convinced it's not possible to love tech without also hating tech.
Hot take time.
Face unlock is objectively terrible UX. In-screen fingerprint readers are better in every way. I will fight anyone on this.
@joel and I are playing more Peak right now. Add one of us on Steam if you want to join in!
Is there anything technically stopping a fediverse server from tagging every user on every known instance if I do @ everyone? And if not, why is this not a thing already?
