My leather phone case broke. More precisely the plastic parts broke. The plastic was disintegrating for a while now but it broke catastrophically in half. I'm glad I have some basic CAD skills. I already 3d-printed the first prototype but I mis-measured a few dimensions because it was hard to reach them with the calipers. Some other dimensions on the other hand were wrong just because I was dumb.

I’m working with a well-known brand sponsor for upcoming Mattimation cartoons and they want to know if I will happen to be in Dubai next week for a face to face. I, uh, will not, and unless I find myself with unfathomable wealth in the next five years, you can probably count on me not ever “happening” to be in Dubai.

@zeldatra If I have the money to "happen by" Dubai, you can bet your butt I have the money to never go to Dubai

Was at the funeral of my grandfather (mother's side) this weekend. I'm not sad. He barely moved because of pain and was weak all-around. It didn't help that he got his 7th heart-attack/stroke in his life-time. My grandmother he has left has severe dementia and has forgotten the day after that the funeral happened. She was stubborn to take any medication that could slow down that process in the past years. When things go the way they are currently the next funeral could happen this year.

Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness remastered gets a thumbs up from me! It's not much of a remaster, it's up to par with the other remasters Aspyr did... which the original AOD pretty much already was to begin with, so aside from Lara, Kurtis, and some of the other important NPCs having new models and the environments receiving texture upgrades, it's not much to write home about visually. The various quality of life fixes, bug fixes, the new control scheme, the addition of a store to purchase ammo and weapon upgrades from early on, etc. all make it worth playing IMO, although it is still a flawed experience - you can only fix the stuff that's broken, not the stuff that's missing.

I almost crashed my car. I was driving on the Autobahn while it was heavily snowing. There was so much snow that snow was piling up and it was only feasible to drive in the tracks of the other cars. I got caught up in the side of the tyre tracks and was skidding and slipping left and right so much I almost spin out. Luckily my experiences with racing games could avoid that by steering against the skidding direction.

@scribus me too. I was in the middle lane. I had plenty of room and I didn't have anyone around me.

Pirate Yakuza is pretty fun but without modding the enemy's health values it's difficult to get a real feel for the combat because Majima is already half upgraded when you start the demo and kills guys in like a single combo. Increasing it three times makes it a lot more enjoyable.

Been home sick the last couple of days so I guess it’s apt that Pirate Yakuza’s demo is out today.

Children should play a bootleg console at least once in their lives. A good 'ol famiclone. A NES on a chip or anything that promises 99999999 games in one but they are repeats or just start at a different level. This kind of disappointment and wonder is a unique brew of an experience that is both cheap and rich in questionable fun. A lie with an upside. Bonus points if they are actually rom hacks with the weirdest promises.

@adiwan As a child I had an N64 controller that you would plug into a tv and it would load up 900 NES and arcade roms, probably less than a hundred of which were unique games. Kids today now can get handheld that do the same thing on Temu, everything is properly labeled, the emulators don’t run at half speed, sometimes they play like PS2 games and Fluffle Puff, you can load your own on an sd card… it just ain’t the same.

@zeldatra For some reason I stumble upon reviews of those emulation machines and even now they are not always delivering the proper performance to even run NES games at a smooth performance. PS2 games, even PS1 and Dreamcast are a joke. There are only few exceptions where they run well enough for an enjoyable experience. The famiclone I had in the 90s was a weird "handheld" one. It was a big black "Game Gear"-like case without a screen that plugged directly into a AC/DC adaptor and it needed to be connected with a RF coax cable to the TV. It really sucked as over time both power and TV plugs on it got loose.
