I started Cyberpunk 2077, and it didn’t really pull me in. So, I’m trying out God of War, which looks amazing, but is pretty intense and dark. I’ll stick with it, but am really just killing time until Horizon: Forbidden West comes out on Steam in March.
Jedi Survivor is on my Steam wishlist and it’s on a significant sale now. Worth it? Never really considered Armored Core. I don’t know much about it.

Sold. I just tapped “buy” and kicked off a remote install to the gaming rig. 🙌🏻

I finished playing “Uncharted: The Lost Legacy” this week. I was skeptical that an Uncharted game would work without Nathan Drake. Boy, was I wrong. The story was compelling, the visuals absolutely stunning, and it provided just enough of a challenge.

Cleo Abram has an incredible ability to explore technology from a human potential perspective. She’s an optimistic futurist, just as I am. Her take on the Apple Vision Pro is so insightful. This is the best video on AVP yet.

Why did they call them “edible undies” when “fruit by the butt” was right there?

I just read an article that listed Esteban Ocon as a viable option for Lewis’ vacated seat at Mercedes. They might as well have named the article “let’s name current F1 drivers in alphabetical order!”

Okay, now that I can get over 100fps on “Very High” settings on the Spider-Man games, I’m gonna have to replay them from the start. Such pretty games!

In other news, the second time was the charm for my GPU. Then I ran into issues with my power supply. I swapped it out for a Corsair one, and now things are up and running. 🎉

I’d absolutely love to see Apple TV+ do adaptations of some of my favorite books - The Dresden Files, Snow Crash, Anathem, Seveneves, etc.

@jonathan Along those lines, I’d love to see an adaptation of Cryptonomicon.
Might be tricky to pull off, but so are some of the other franchises you mentioned.
@jeff Soooo tricky. It’s an incredible feat of world building, but the density is off the charts. The same could be said for Foundation, though, and they’ve been bold in their adaptation. Cryptonomicon would require the same touch.
I think Seveneves would be the best direct adaptation. Snow Crash is my dream, though!
@jonathan There are some intensely cinematic moments in Anathem that would be amaaaazing to translate to the screen.

@mpirnat It’d be a very challenging adaptation, but I think it could be pulled off. The Expanse was remarkably good, and I think it’s similarly challenging source material.
Gimme Jared Harris as Fraa Jad!
@idallas Yeah it’s had a couple of attempted adaptations. I think the director of Attack the Block was signed to do a film, but it got shelved.

In my happy place this week. Just me, the dogs, and our quiet Palm Desert neighborhood. Treating myself to dinner and margaritas at my favorite Mexican spot on El Paseo. Later? Floating in the pool under the stars.

The vision for “Project Tapestry” is very similar to the one we had for “Together” - https://

Very excited about the potential for The Iconfactory’s new Kickstarter campaign for “Project Tapestry”

I’m rooting for “@fter midnight” to make it, as I genuinely miss the joy of “@midnight.” Two episodes in, and it feels a bit forced. Hopefully they find their footing.
My wonderful daughter is becoming a teenager this weekend. Tonight, we are hosting eight teenage girls for a Taylor Swift themed party. To protect Lacey, we tested all the kids at the door, and she is staying in a hotel. I’m managing the sleepover party!

@whack Way ahead of you! My daughter and I inflated eight pink air mattresses, and put them in the floor of our theater room. Each bed has themed bedding for each “era.” Custom “admit one” tickets for each guest. Eras tour on loop on the big screen. We don’t mess around!

Well, this is fun. Amazon sent me a notification that my GPU had arrived. I opened the box, and inside, where the GPU should be was a seven pound weight and a ball of toilet paper. Hooray for thieves.
@jonathan Ugh, that sucks. At least you found out right away — I had a Lego kit that was filled with random crap, plus some misc Lego parts for authentic sound when shaken, but waited 18 months to open it. Ended up having to pick it up on eBay since it’d just recently gone “out of print”.
, Jan 26 2024 on mas.to
@mpirnat Yeah I sort of chuckled when I opened the box. Amazon has thankfully dispatched a replacement for delivery tomorrow, which is also when my cooler arrives. With any luck, I’ll finally be able to finish things up tomorrow.
@jonathan hope it all works out - the shakedown cruise can be a fun weekend project.

@mpirnat I’m actually driving out to our desert house on Sunday, and will be bringing it all with me to finish up. Blissful peace and quiet for a week haha.
@cleverdevil Wow! I want to start asking questions like a cop on a British Mystery, but I'll abstain.

The good news is that my GPU finally shipped and is arriving today. The bad news is that I won’t be able to finish the build today because I accidentally ordered the low-end version of the CPU cooler. Submitted an order and that should arrive tomorrow. Inching closer :)
Also on: jonathan@cleverdevil.club cleverdevil.io
All of my PC parts have arrived, with the exception of the GPU, which was supposed to be delivered today but was delayed by Amazon. The CPU cooler I chose is also a bit too large for the motherboard. New cooler options ordered and arrive tomorrow. Hopefully the GPU comes tomorrow.🤞🏼

I binged season one and two of Good Omens over the past few weeks. The first season was a delight. Season two was enjoyable, but certainly fell off a bit.

For the curious, this PC is intended to be a mega-console running ChimeraOS in my home theater. Highlights:
* Fractal Ridge (white)
* 7800X3D CPU
* RX 7900 XTX GPU
