Wow! I found the trailers really obnoxious, unfunny and looked pretty predictable so I kinda wrote it off. Gotta aim to see it now!

Oh I’m very curious what you think about Cozy Stickerville! I keep running across it and it looks great.

Ok a #StarTrek version of #ThePitt.

Short season. Takes place mostly in sickbay.

Demoted? From the guy who made his brand β€œyou’re fired” and had a rolling lineup of staff members the first time around?

New hobby: making fun of AI while the Slack AI notes are on to see if it dares to capture it in the recap (so far, no).

Westwood, Maxis, Visceral, Pandemic (and honestly BioWare and Criterion as well) would like a word!

It’s such a shame. They used to be really creative and now they’re just French EA :/

Ubisoft's New Model Will Focus on Open World Adventures and GaaS-Native Experiences Ubisoft has gone through a major restructure, with the new model centered around open-world adventures and GaaS-native experiences.

β€œOk crew, what we’re doing is getting stale and not working. It’s time to try something new: the exact same thing.

If the Chrono Trigger "anniversary year" announced last March amounts to only this vinyl set and a concert, it will be very disappointing.

Wondering "did Shaq ever release an album?" turned up this find:

"The discography of former professional basketball player, rapper, and DJ Shaquille O'Neal consists of five studio albums, two compilation albums, two soundtracks, one unreleased album, and 19 singles."

Finally upgraded to iOS 26.

The whole ethos of the system feels like a kid cleaning their room by pushing everything into a closet to clean their room. So many familiar interactions are now one or two clicks deeper.

There are some impressive visual effects but I hope this doesn’t stay long.

If we don’t hear β€œwell fellas, it’s like they always say: it’s like a roach to a gravy tank” on a future PTR I’m going to be crushed (much like the dried food from the previous day left on machines).

I truly think Meta had an Xbox and tried to sell it as an iPhone but didn’t know how to do either very well.

They also have the baggage of…being Meta. I can’t tell you how many people I know who tried a Quest, loved it, but didn’t want to monetarily support β€œFacebook” 🀷

I still think the vision of making a sort of blank slate Star Wars area for people to have their own adventures was a great idea…but they robbed so much from the land that it barely materialized. The Potter lands are a good template for giving people little interactive moments. #StarWars #ThemeParks

For the life of me I don't know why they didn't make a "Tales from the Galaxy's Edge: Black Spire Outpost" #DisneyPlus anthology show fleshing out the characters and locations in the land.

A real miss of corporate synergy.

I mean, I get why, but this is such a bummer. I wish they would have stuck to their commitment and made the land more interesting. This is a dizzying direction with timelines of *certain areas* in the land shifting and them acting like it was kinda the vision all along.

It’s hard to justify Tahoe icons Looking at the first principles of icon designβ€”and how Apple failed to apply all of them in macOS Tahoe

A real thorough (and embarrassing for Apple?) audit of the Tahoe icon usage. Lots of good arguments looking at the over-use and the lack of consistency in the system.

Where's the Shovelware? Why AI Coding Claims Don't Add Up 78% of developers claim AI makes them more productive. 14% say it's a 10x improvement. So where's the flood of new software? Turns out those productivity claims are bullshit.

Really interesting dive into just how efficient AI coding might be. Perhaps in the greed to speed things up, could companies…actually be slowing things down?

Apple TV's Best Thrillers Prove They Need To Focus On The Horror Genre Next - SlashFilm Apple TV has produced some of the best thrillers in the game, but if the streamer wants to take it to the next level, they need to focus on horror.

There are some great wrapped-up #audiodrama podcasts that would be no-brainers if #AppleTV wanted to chase down a horror show:

I love the approach #Descript attempts, but their video editing is so poorly done that after two days I finally just exported a recording to edit it in another program.

Some bewildering choices and glitches and an AI companion that fully destroyed my video several times.

I dunno I do wonder if it was sort of always the plan to do some big multiverse-spanning final phase that resets the MCU. But then Kang ran into issues and they decided to play the old favorites by swapping in RDJ and Russos to the mix.
