Apple announces new iCloud storage tiers
Since it’s not my upgrade year, 6 and 12 terabyte iCloud plans my most impactful Apple announcement of the day. Been at like 1.95 TB for months and had to clean a bunch of stuff off kids’ iPads to get there.
Texas knocks off Alabama in Tuscaloosa!!
Been a looooooong time Texas played a complete game like this against anybody, let a lone on the road against a top 3 team.
Lauren Mayberry of Chvrches has a new solo single out
Lauren Mayberry of Chvrches has a new solo single out.
She’s also doing a solo tour. Definitely different vibe than her music with Chvrches but I like it. Somehow I missed this news back in July.
Chvrches is easily my favorite band of the last decade (maybe ever?) so selfishly this makes me a bit nervous about their future. “Over” just came out 6 months ago and was FANTASTIC so hopefully this has nothing to do with the future of the band.
The one white guy in K-dramas
You think I can get a role as the one white guy in a K-Drama? I have no acting ability, but based on being in the room while my wife has watched 900 different series that does not appear to be a requirement for the job.
Color palette? Pallete? Pallette?
I am physically incapable of spelling palette (as in color) correctly. Pallete? Pallette? Why are there so many Ls and Ts and Es??
7.5 years later, I’ve finished Uncharted 4
I preordered Uncharted 4 on January 12, 2016. Over 7.5 years later I finally finished the game streaming via Chiaki to my ROG Ally.
Played the first 4 hours or so back in 2016. Played the first 4 hours or so again when I got the Legacy of Thieves PS5 upgrade last year. Even with the drawbacks (mostly occasional audio and visual glitches in first 10 minutes of session), the advantages of playing anywhere in the house just makes it so much more likely I can find time for a game.
Really a tough game to pick up right after playing TotK (holy crap was the exploring and controls frustrating for the first couple hours). Uncharted 2 was my favorite game of that generation so I’m glad to have finally wrapped up the series.
Will give it a while but looking forward to picking up The Lost Legacy eventually.
A downright frigid 91 degrees out
I just said, “oooh it’s only 91 out” out loud and thought about taking the dog for a walk. It’s amazing how repeated highs of like 107 will warp your brain.
Pac-12 has collapsed
Went to a work happy hour for a couple hours and the Pac-12 completely fell apart.
Restarted “Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow”
Restarted Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow today and made it back to same point I bounced off the first time.
Three chapters in and I really dislike the book up to this point. College Sadie and the terrible professor is sooooo dumb and his dialog and personality are so transparently awful. I can’t tell at this point if the author Zevin is this clueless about relationships or if Sadie is about to turn into a non awful character any minute.
It doesn’t help how bad the video game stuff is early.
Calling Street Fighter etc “martial arts games” made me cringe. This is also how I feel watching any baseball or football fiction. It must really be hard writing about nerdy details in a way that doesn’t alienate people not intimately familiar with the concepts.
