šŸ± Naka-Kon was amazing! I can now say Iā€™ve actually met a Love Live seiyuu. Thank you Aikyan for coming all the way out to the midwest for us!


šŸ„± Whoā€™s ready for another riveting episode of The Max Verstappen Show tomorrow?


iGBA is out now on the iOS App Store! The first of hopefully many emulators. I would love to see RetroArch here soon!


ā˜• Saturday morning coffee & anime. Starting KonoSuba season 3 today!


Itā€™s April, which means weā€™re about to begin one of the greatest anime seasons ever. 3 of my top 5 favorite anime will be getting a new season, among some other heavy hitters returning this spring.

  • Hibike! Euphonium season 3
  • Yuru Camp season 3
  • KonoSuba season 3
  • Slime season 3
  • Irregular at Magic High season 3
  • Mushoku Tensei season 2 part 2
  • Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc
  • Spice and Wolf

These next few months are stacked!


Dipping my toes into the world of IEMs with a pair of Moondrop May headphones. Theyā€™re super comfortable, sound fantastic, and the included USB-C DSP cable is really handy. It works great with my various Apple devices, Steam Deck, and PC. Unfortunately it does not work with the Nintendo Switch unless you connect a separate 3.5mm cable to the earbuds themselves.

Of course, as these hobbies go, now that I know what they have to offer Iā€™m looking at a nicer set of Moondrop IEMs. Their Dusk 2 earbuds arenā€™t out yet but should be pretty soon!


National Treasure 3ā€™s Chances Get A Blunt Response From Nicolas Cage

No, there is no National Treasure 3. If you want to find treasure, donā€™t look at Disney, okay? Itā€™s not there.

Nic Cage is the real national treasure.


Beets: The command line music management tool Iā€™ve been looking for. I recently moved all my media to a new Unraid server; this ought to do the trick to get my music library back into shape.


Got to try Vision Pro for a 30 minute demo today.

  • Passthrough was excellent, but I could still see a lot of haziness especially further out.
  • Field of view was a lot narrower than I expected.
  • Text was super sharp, much better than other headsets Iā€™ve used before.
  • Eye tracking was spot on, but I canā€™t say the same about hand tracking. Had a few false activations and missed some pinches.
  • Immersive video is cool, hope it catches on especially for sports content!

Seeing all this discussion about Vision Pro kinda makes me just want to get a Quest 3, at least until the second iteration of Appleā€™s headset is out and the price comes down.


Liyue Harbor looking good for Lantern Rite!


Project Tapestry:

With Project Tapestry, weā€™ll create a universal, chronological timeline for iOS for any data thatā€™s publicly available on the Internet. A service-independent overview of your social media and information landscape. Point the app toward your services and feeds, then scroll through everything all in one place to keep up-to-date and to see where you want to dive deeper. When you find something that you want to engage with or reply to, Tapestry will let you automatically open that post in the app of your choice and reply to it there. Tapestry isnā€™t meant to replace your favorite Mastodon app or RSS reader, but rather to complement them and help you figure out where you want to focus your attention.

Excited to see this from the Iconfactory. I remember using Socialite over a decade ago, and I would love to see a modern version of this concept!

My childhood.

I made the 6 hour drive out to Chicago to go to the Genshin Impact concert. It was an incredible experience getting to hear the music of Teyvat from a live orchestra!

I also put together a playlist from the concert which you can find here.


I picked up the Horizon Zero Dawn LEGO set on a Black Friday deal, and what a neat build this is. The model makes for a great display piece.


Shibuya


Itā€™s pretty great driving the biggest, baddest EV in town.


Decided to use some of my Microsoft reward points on the Starfield limited edition controller. Love this one, look at those clear triggers!
