    There was a lot of indie talent this year, and I don't think it lessens the other nominees that the award can only go to one game. No Half Life announcement on the other hand is a little upsetting.

    A little bit of tired-wired right now. I'm helping my brother out with some living arrangements that have gotten a bit messy, and work at home means that it's a whole lot easier to avoid one with the other. As long as I get my work done, it's not that much of an issue, but it's harder for me to be proactive with work stuff when I have to when I have a set shift that I'm completing tasks for and putting out fires on. Writing my own ticket and keeping myself honest to it is difficult, especially when I'm still new enough to think I'm being hyper analysed for every moment I'm not being productive, even when I know that's not the case. (Also, I have reservations about the methods of remote IT, but I'm not about to throw stones and the hours count all the same, so I can be the bigger person.)

    I think that they're trying to set the precedent that Crunchyroll is to be paid for post Sony buyout. "Everything is free except for the latest episode" wasn't making the numbers go brr fast enough, and keeping some archival content out in front of the paywall wasn't worth what it was bringing in. But I don't think they would be as adverse to working with an advertiser if they decided to introduce ads on the lower tier or something.

    What are the odds that Paramount is successful in their attempts to get this overruled and attempt a hostile takeover. My thoughts are that it's just noise and that Disney owns about as the market of Netflix and HBO put together, and Disney-Fox and Microsoft-ABK went through pretty easily. But at the same time I wonder how much the DOJ is willing to put their thumb on the scale for their guy.

    DC property crossovers would go mad with the amount of Netflix stuff they would have access to through Netflix.

    Tried to install Bazzite on my old GPD Win 1 I dug out from a closet. It took, but big picture mode doesn’t have display active and I manually have to get to the desktop from terminal, plus Wi-Fi isn’t working. Additionally when I made a disk for Steam OS as a backup, I dd’d my own hard drive. There was nothing important on that computer, but still stung for a bit.

    Interesting. I fell into YouTube Music for a minute because it could have my podcasts and YouTube "podcasts" in the same queue. But that system sounds way more thorough.

    Agreed with the hype. I barely use my Steam Deck that I got second hand, but I would day one pay for a Steam Deck mini on Arm that can play even the lightest of Steam Games as long as it was no muss no fuss to get into the ecosystem. If Valve got into actual phones though, at the very least they could figure out controls in a way that others couldn't.
