I don’t think Google can launch a new successful product anymore. Surely the weight of its failures is more than its successes?

Google is shutting down Google Stadia and refunding everyone’s money www.techradar.com/news/brea…

Managed to go out to dinner with the wife (and without the kids) for the first time since March last year. It was wonderful. I’ve missed those quiet meals.

How am I feeling right now? I’ve written a fair amount today. Nothing revolutionary – nothing that will change the world. But I managed to type out a bunch of words in sentences that made sense. Funnily enough, this feels like progress. Which is good. Because my motivational challenges at work are compounding. I’m hoping that I can offset some workplace lethargy with creative work at home. This blog is part of that, obviously, but I’m playing around with a few other ideas. Continue reading →

Today I had 1 meeting at work. It was designed to give me clear goals about what my role is supposed to be. Instead, I got goals to come up with what those goals should be. What annoyed me today? I am not enjoying work at the moment. Hell, I’m not enjoying much of anything at the moment. The problem with that is that it’s not really an “at the moment” problem. Continue reading →

Kids are finally at an age they can clean up after dinner. They don’t do a good job, but at least they do it.

EA is making an Iron Man game. it’s crazy that it took this long, given how awesome it felt to fly around as Iron Man in Disney Infinity. 🎮

Colleague pointed out I’d made the homepage of news.com.au yesterday. I’m the guy standing in the background of the main pic. 🤣 Show me the money!

Finished reading: Magician by Raymond E. Feist — have read this a few times, but I still really enjoy it. Now on to the next one! 📚

I have been holding off on the expanded Switch online offering since it launched. I just couldn’t see the value. But this… this could change things. 🎮 GoldenEye 007 Has Online Multiplayer On Nintendo Switch But Not On Xbox press-start.com.au/news/nint… Continue reading →

I have spent way to much time this week organising my Marvel Champions collection, only to discover I need more packs to add to my Marvel Champions collection. 🎲

Just having one of those days when I have enough time to update to the newest version of iOS but not enough time to play around with it.

I love the way The Mandalorian has captured all the great elements of Star Wars and managed to keep it building over 2.5 seasons. This teaser for season 3 has me all kinds of excited!

Happily defeated Ungoliant’s Spawn with a little help from Gandalf and Aragorn. Second play through was a little tougher than the first, but still fun! 🎲

I’m enjoying She-Hulk when I watch it, but it’s also really forgettable? If they didn’t sum up the previous episode at the beginning, I would have no recollection of what happened. I can barely remember this episode, and I just finished watching it. 📺

Episode one of Rings of Power was spectacular. Stunning visuals and a solid setup for what is set to be an epic series. Loved it. 📺

Watching a presentation where the slides have green buttons on a blue background and it offends my sensibilities.

I recently decided to replay the Batman Arkham games. Great decision - they hold up really well, with fluid combat, a tight story and an immersive world to explore. I even managed to get the Platinum trophy for Arkham Asylum. I had so much fun I decided to try for the Platinum trophy in Arkham City. Not a great decision. I’ve spent weeks replaying a single fight in the hopes of unlocking the Perfect Freeflow 2. Continue reading →

Parent/teacher interviews for the eldest this afternoon. Exciting times!

Happy Father’s Day to me. Going to have a lot of fun with this I think. 🎲

Started my Father’s Day with some Boba Fett waffles made by my daughter. This is the way. 🧇🥞
