Yeah other than this weird thing where the quest made landing the ship weird, I have had anything totally break the game — though it did crash on me once. But the autosave got me maybe ten seconds before that so I loaded right back where I was.

Mostly I’ve just seen little graphical bugs. Like when you fly off world and the “loading clouds” show up. Sometimes there will be a flash of a big, black chunk of the screen that shows up for a split second. Stuff like that.

I wouldn’t mind if Kay got her own little series out this. She’s cool, and Nix is cool. I like them both.

I’m right in the middle of this game currently, and I do fully see some of the jank that shows up in this game. And it does have some issues (I couldn’t land my ship on the starting planet until I finished a specific quest, but the game doesn’t tell you this).

However, I’m finding the game pretty fun overall and kinda hope they iterate on this scoundrel idea and make sequel. I’m having fun sneaking in and looting all these places.

“Undecided voters” has felt like “ashamed to be Republican” voters to me for a long time.

Hell yeah, banger month. I wanted to play The Plucky Squire, and now it's right there to play. Just have to get through all these other games first.

Technology sure is great, isn't it?

It also is nice for that random night where you have a physical DVD to watch.

My friends wanted to do a Saw movie marathon, and one of them had all the discs. The PS5 was the only device I had that could play them.

I've used the disc drive exactly twice for games in the last four years, but I'm happy it was there.

The second time, in fact, was just this last week because I was able to get Star Wars: Outlaws on disc for half off (some weird QVC deal a couple weeks ago).

Right? The neckiest of beards have crawled out of the shadows.

Sure, bud.

Life is too short to pretend to hate Taylor Swift.

"Wannabe musician" - that's a laugh.

This woman sings, dances, plays guitar and piano at her concerts for, like, three hours straight for sold out crowds all over the world where you have to get into a lottery to even buy tickets, but sure, she's not a musician. Give me a break.

The reason why her endorsement makes news is because she has 200M followers on social media, so whether you like it or not if she takes a stance one way or the other there will be people who listen.

This thing is expensive, and I probably won’t get one.

But the Panasonic 3DO cost $700 in 90s money and that thing sucked ass, so this price isn’t something we’ve never seen before.

Sony does need to read the room, though. It’s a bit of a bad look.

 

I just started using this app today after wading through bug after bug with Voyager. Like many, Apollo was my go-to app for years and years, so it’s natural to gravitate to the one that looks exactly like it.

However, I consume this type of content mostly on my iPad, and often I’m using Stage Manager with an external KB and trackpad. Voyager in this mode barely works, so I’m just making a post here to say thanks for making this app feel great in this mode. 😎

 

So I have a weird one for you guys, and I’d like to see if anyone has ever come up across this one.

This is a Messages bug, and as far as I can tell it’s only on iPad since I’ve never seen this on my phone that has the same chats in it.

Basically it goes like this: I have a group chat with a few friends, and on iPad every so often when I open Messages and it’s on that chat (since that was the last place I left off) it’ll show me not the current state of the chat, but three messages (and only those three messages) from somewhere back in 2022.

I can only scroll up and down as far as those three messages will allow. It’s as if those are the only messages available to me.

However, if I tap the group chat again in the list, it goes back to normal. Loads everything and is fine.

I’ve never seen this happen on my phone, just my iPad. I was hoping the new update would fix it, but alas.

Has anyone ever run into this? I’m about to just tell them we need a new group chat.

 

While browsing posts, it may be nice to have either a different background color or some sort of identifier on your own comments to easily pick them out of the crowd as you scroll.
