Sometimes I joke about this timeline being a dumpster fire, but then I see that an official Fortnite client is coming to Linux. Which ALSO means pigs HAVE learned how to fly. And I smile a bit...
(No, I don't play Fortnite, but the biggest game in the world finally getting official Linux support is a massive thing, and it WILL start a positive snowball effect.)
An awesome thing I'm doing today: signing my contractor agreement with @gnome Foundation :gnomewhite: 🎉
Stay tuned!
Time to revive my #Pixelfed account!

An overdue apology to all women: for the longest time, I thought the chorus of “Devil Inside” by INXS said: “Devil inside, devil inside, every single woman has the devil inside.”
Happy birthday, Brütal Legend 🤘

Finally having enough energy for some short walks. And there is no other place I’d rather be right now than good ‘ole Cayucos.
(While it’s true I adore the Oregon coast, this was my childhood and young adulthood home away from home.)
New Snapdragon SoCs will officially support Linux, Firefox’s redesign confuses us, the Dutch government is embracing NixOS, F-Droid has a new modern look, and Ubuntu starts shipping new kernels more regularly. Plus with the iPhone Duo about to come out, Graham is still enjoying his Pixel 9 Pro Fold but Joe’s 10 Pro Fold is in a drawer.
EA has announced #WingCommander III: 30th Anniversary Edition!
The original FMV tapes have been recovered and are being restored, meaning the game's star-studded cutscenes (featuring Mark Hamill!) can finally be seen without the heavily compressed 240p video of 1994
There's also support for up to 60fps and improvements made with the fan community. #PCgaming preservation wins again :)
I just threw up in my mouth a little.

The light and the color of the changing aspens during yesterdays dramatic, stormy morning in the Lime Creek area was pretty magical.

Wow, the Playstation 5 homebrew & modding scene is exploding lately. Modded PS5 consoles can now play physical PS2 games. Even the DIGITAL ONLY PS5 can do it, using an external USB drive 😲
And it supports up to 6x resolution scaling for PS2 games.

This was a very clumsy way of saying I'm still in love with handheld gaming and the creativity in that community. And I totally just bought the AYN Thor Pro.
With my existing love for tinkering, handhelds, and Linux -- plus a growing fascination with emulation -- I'm struggling to avoid ordering an AYN Thor right now!
True, DroidDeck is technically an Android app, but there are a number of exciting standalone Linux distros (like Armada) for these devices too.
Also, I want to see FEX in action.
Also also, DroidDeck can be set as your FRONTEND?! ohhhhhh damnit I just hit "order."
A deep thought for this spooky season: since you’re never going to banish your demons, get to know them on a first name basis and establish some boundaries for when they can visit.
Got him!
I am in love with the tones in last evening's sky… 😍
I honestly assumed Sebulba would be a pushover. A "token boss fight" qualifier before you actually get accepted into the Galactic Racing League. After all, you don't face him until the fourth planet, after about a dozen events...
Nope, he's tough as hell. Still can't beat him after my 6th run. Star Wars: Galactic Racer takes its roguelite elements seriously, and I freaking love it.
(Lose this qualifying race, and you restart at the very beginning....)
