Pronounced: "Kenny"
Pronouns'ed: he/him

I'm a web developer who plays (and sometimes speedruns) video games, and sometimes covers their music. See links and stream projects on my site!

Current itinerary (US Eastern):

FPSes on weekend afternoons
Assorted playthroughs weekday afternoons when available
Shmups on Thursdays (https://shmupbook.club)

Incidentally kind of glad I didn't stream yesterday, since the weather here has decided it's not winter this week (but probably will be again next week)

For instance, here's today's "lol oops please forget that our forecast was like 10 degrees lower than this"

Imagine if, 33 years after "Mario is Missing", Nintendo gave us a new educational game, "Daisy has Long COVID"

Time for everyone to start using Heroic Games Launcher regardless of platform, since #GOG is breaching the trust thermocline on their own website with genAI imagery, and in their own software with "promoting AI-assisted development tools" in their job descriptions

Update: Or maybe not so proudly anymore? It appears course correction is happening. (Or at least ass-covering, if that LLM-slop chatbot project is still getting funded by them regardless...)

(They posted this without alt text, because of course they did...)

(I say "proudly" because it is the first thing they chose to specifically point out today that GDQ donations have helped to support)

Hey look, it's reminder number 239587612359862345983261592837568932 to STOP FUCKING USING GOOGLE SEARCH.

Did I write enough digits in there?

Do I sound sick and tired enough of this shit?

"The shit Google is doing? Or that people still stubbornly equate 'googling' with 'searching'?"

Yes.

Sega: we're going to delist the $20 Yakuza 0 and replace it with a $50 version with not nearly enough added content to warrant that price increase. But don't worry, if you already have the original, we'll discount the new one to only 75% of the original's price.

Also Sega:

Holy crap, YouTube actually gave a heads-up about automatically opting people into their auto-dubbing slop feature.

It's still not as good as defaulting to off and making it a voluntary opt-in, but in 2025 where everything is forcing slop everywhere, it's something.

You know what else makes a big difference? Not rushing to de-list your demo that you literally just updated for #SteamNextFest the moment you release - which happens to be the day after Next Fest ends - as if you have something to hide. (I do at least understand disabling its multiplayer component though.)

I do appreciate the heads-up though.

Go figure I get the Zakesta-Z vZogen Steam leaderboard WR while recovering from my sinuses being a trainwreck
