Mina the Hollower has a deep love of flying enemies that its art style simply can't support. 😫

Beat Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. It's a fun game, and also one of the buggiest I've ever played. Difficulty curve felt all over the map. Plus the silly Ubisoft account requirements make it hard to recommend.

Also, the narrative keeps repeating the following scene:

Former ally: "I'm so excited to murder you!"

You: "I don't want to fight!" (Proceeds to fight)

Dying former ally: "Ah, my old friend! You are the best and most trustworthy of us all! I love you like a brother!" (Dies)

Behold my stupidest home automation to date.

I am "gently encouraging" my children to be more aware of how much time they are spending in the bathroom by having a door sensor fire an IR blaster to start a sports timer when the door is closed, and stop it when the door opens again. 🤦

This is preferable to intermittently shouting through the door "You've been in there for 40 minutes. PLEASE turn off the shower!"

Monitor I got at the beginning of the pandemic is disappointingly starting to die on me. Any recommendations for a solid new one? Ideally:
- 4K
- Higher than 60Hz refresh
- DisplayPort
- HDR would be nice, not a deal breaker

@Lingmops @slightlyoff I was gonna ask the same thing! We've had ours maybe a year and a half now. They look a bit dusty, but output seems ok?

Welcome to this week's "Was this worth watching while stuck in an flying metal tube for several hours?" review:

Predator Badlands: Yeah! Not nearly as good as "Prey", but fun!
Mission Impossible Final Reckoning: Nope. Not even a little bit.

(Although I will give Mission Impossible credit for it's central thesis of "Things would be better if we could trap AI in a tiny bottle and then pretend like it never happened.")

Been playing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Decent metroidvania, nice controls, but I've hit multiple game-breaking bugs!
- A boss that never attacked
- A door that opened but wouldn't let me pass
- A trap that failed to trigger, blocking progress

Invest more in your QA teams, Ubisoft!

"Donny, who was elected class president promising a Nintendo Switch for every student and an extra 60 days of summer vacation, now says that the lack of playground equipment is the fault of last year's class president and not his ongoing 'kick every ball over the fence' campaign.

My first question for our panel of one teacher and four school bullies: Do you think Donny's fence/ball strategy is hurting his support among 5th graders?" <-- What it feels like watching US mainstream news these days.

Just encountered an answering machine message that verbally directed me to email "a24@...". After some bounced emails and a lot of searching I found that the actual email address is atuffour@...

I want to be mad, but that's a genius way to keep your inbox clear.
