Mozilla's not going to undermine the thing that's going to drive the largest adoption of Firefox in years.

I was expecting something a little deeper or more subtle than what I got.

That's the problem when these things gain reputations. The reputation builds it up to be more than the piece of art can deliver.

Now imagine playing it when it was new and you weren't "expecting" anything but a military shooter. It would still be just as blunt, but it landed back then far more effectively than when you go in knowing the reputation the game has built in the many years that followed.

So much for, "they won't raise your rates at T-Mobileeee!"

Chargers' cap is deep in the red for 2024, and they're going to have to make some moves to get their head above water. They're too top-heavy right now. Might need a clean-up year before they really hit their stride.

But this isn't the formula for all games. While we might agree that games from 2000 or even 2010 are "showing their age", at this point 5 to 8-year-old games are less and less likely to be seen as 'too old' by comparison to hot releases.

As someone that grew up in the '80s and '90s, it's wild how much different the pace of change in games was then compared to now.

In 1991 I was playing NES games and 256-color VGA MS-DOS games, in 1998 I was playing Half-Life. Every single thing about the experience of video games changed in that span.

In 2017 I was playing Breath of the Wild, in 2024 I'm playing more or less the same game in Tears of the Kingdom.

The malware is other League players.

I've been playing it a lot more since I got the OLED. It turns out that I disliked the LCD on the original Deck more than I realized. And not just the difference from OLED itself, but the screen size and 90hz refresh also. Those chunky bezels really did suck, and now the screen feels more like it "fits" the device size.

The larger battery capacity has sure helped too.

However over time you notice some things. First, it doesn’t let you sit incorrectly (like with your leg folded under your butt). Second, you can sit in in for hours (covid work from home situation) and be perfectly fine. Third, after 3+ years of ownership, it’s immaculate.

This right here. People expect to sit in an expensive chair and get a soft, plush, "comfortable" feeling. No, that's not what a quality chair is for. A quality chair's purpose is to let you be 40 years old, sit in it for an 8 hour workday, and get up at the end of the day with zero back pain (at least, none from sitting in the chair).

I forget how uncomfortable chairs can be until I travel for work and have to sit in something else for a whole day.

I spent $300 and $400 for my two used ones.

A true quality office chair, like the Herman Miller Aeron, and not one of those awful "racing chair" game streamer pieces of junk.

Doesn't even have to be brand new. I bought both of my Aerons used, and I think their manufacture dates are like 2008 and 2013. I've had them for many years, sat in the 2008 one every workday for the past 10 years, and it might as well still be new. I see no reason that I won't sit in it for the next 10 years. I could have gone through a bunch of crappy Office Depot chairs in that span.

 
 

Both sides have consistently said a deal is getting done, and it sounds like they're in the final push to make that happen.

 

Of all the “glass cannon” RBs Shanahan has employed, Mitchell might be the glassiest.

Sure hope the good vibes around Mason and TDP this summer continue.

 

When asked point-blank if there was any concern about not being able to get a deal done, Lynch immediately said, "No."
