The band could have worded the reason for stopping touring as “Steven Tyler’s vocal cord injury and other issues”. Just read about that sexual abuse case, Tyler claimed to have immunity as the victim’s legal guardian (?). Even though it was dismissed by court, it still was an awful thing that surely has damaged Tyler’s and Aerosmith’s reputation.

This is quite understandable, as Trump is one of the few friends King Jong Un has. An authoritarian likes another authoritarian.

I love how the election’s setting turned to “two old guys (one of which is a convicted felon)” to “convicted felon vs prosecutor” in just few days.

That will certainly make the upcoming debates even more entertaining.

Work is going fine, that’s about it.

Most Switch games support gyro functionality, and of course the Joy-Cons also have gyro.

Ergonomics, NFC support and gyro. Of course the rumble could be stronger but I have gotten used to it.

• 8bitdo SN30 Pro
• GameCube controller
• Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
• Super Famicom controller (mainly the face button colors and layout)

For me the way has been using gyro aiming. It provides a mouse-like precision for aiming, which is really good for FPS games. It is supported on Steam nowadays. Of course on Steam Deck it may be not the best option in terms of playing experience, as turning the console also turns the screen.

Got the server migration done and Sopuli is as good as new! Hopefully I can rest for a while.

As the instance’s owner and admin, there was a server migration that lasted for a day and nearly 8 hours. And yes, !meta@sopuli.xyz and my Mastodon are good places to check out regarding Sopuli’s status.

And some few weeks ago a memo leaked where Satya Nadella assured that “whatever business decision Microsoft considers, security always comes first”.

Holy hell.

Windows has gone cuckoo-crazy and off the rails ever since 11 came out, and even more when Microsoft decided to cash in on AI.

For occasional chatting with Bing and translation help with DeepL.

I don’t think repealing the Patriot Act will be likely.

And I can’t exploit enough of you, baby, can you exploit enough of me?

Been playing Vanquish. The game feels like a Japanese take on then-popular cover-shooters like Gears of War, but with faster pace and mechanics like sliding that incentivize not relying on covers too much. Like with Platinum’s titles, there’s deep mechanics and really getting into the game starts when replaying the game’s missions.

The compilation is however a bummer as it doesn’t have “The Eternal Idol” from 1987. It had something to do with releasing rights from Vertigo and IRS Records.

What could possibly go wrong?
