I woke up from a couch nap at 3am and then remembered it doesn't matter: I'm on vacation. Today was a good day, tomorrow is a good day too.

10/10 outcome

I'm still going through the edge cases and weirder shit it can enable like the previous one, but the new Steam Controller so far is Excellent.

I like the triggers and joystick feel significantly more than my previous Xbox One controller so that alone feels like an upgrade.

4K, 2K, QHD, FHD... listen, back in my day we were just told "This site is best viewed at 1024x768 or above" and we were happy.

Bobby Prince has died.

He was the musical face of the DOS era, with iconic compositions for games such as the Commander Keen series, the Doom series, and Duke Nukem 3D. While he hadn't been very active in the past 25 years, many people remember his music, and some levels of Doom I and II still instantly evoke the distinctive AdLib sound of his tunes. A great loss!

The old man has finally discovered his new bed and decided that it's not a scary new thing after all.

I’m deeply uncomfortable with Microsoft attempting to weaponise their extensive law enforcement contacts to arrest people who post zero days in the products.

It comes after the researcher was kicked off GitHub (owned by Microsoft), Gitlab (a Microsoft partner), after they were doxxed on Twitter and had their MSRC - Microsoft vulnerability reporting portal - account disabled.

I've upgraded to Mastodon 4.6.0 and at first really lamented the lack of themes (which is understandable, everyone is having kind of a bad time porting to the new system, which should prevent that kind of thing in the future)

But it turns out, aside from "it's mirrored the other way around", the default Mastodon UI has improved a lot while I was not looking. It's not as radically different as it once was, I think. I'm glad to get to actively use it for a while.

The Steam Controller 2 smells REALLY GOOD. I keep huffing whatever the plastic off gases which will probably give me 30 cancers, but it smells incredible.

It smells like the Oculus Rift CV1 did out of the box, so it's hitting both early VR nostalgia and good new computer smells at once.
