  • At least MS account may be slightly more useful (OS, software, school, work). There is literally no reason to have PSN account except a few exclusive games on PlayStation. Even worse are smaller game devs and pubs nagging for accounts.

    Of course there is no great reason offline/SP/old games should require an account to play, and out of principle “nope” should be considered. But almost every goddamn thing requires an account these days. At least we have decent password managers now…







  • Branch is apparently a $4B Silicon Valley startup, that raised $300M just two years ago. They can afford Nova’s team of twelve, or at least more than one fucking dev. They even fired Cliff, the one guy doing support (social, Discord, email, etc).

    That said, I wish they wouldn’t have sold out. Nova is one of the few things I want to subscribe to, very well earned. Nobody can reasonably complain about $10-20 per year for “Prime Ultra” or something. I don’t even see a donate button in settings.

    Trigger warning, please. Many of us survived the internet’s tragic Compression Artifact Wars. I know that some pockets of less fortunate areas still fight on, but we should not help spread their ignorance or nostalgic afflictions. Let us destroy this scourge once and for all. Modern and lossless formats for all!

    My cat loves string, more than any other play thing. But I had to stop it when I found him with a, um… piece hanging out his butt. (And he actually chewed that one off at both ends, from a “fishing rod” toy.) Careful out there, friends of cats.




  • Walmart, Petsmart, Petco, Amazon; They’re everywhere, and come in too many flavors! Inaba (Japan) seems like a quality company, and Churu is well- reviewed (it’s protein puree, high moisture, nothing terrible in it).

    My 12 y/o buddy just started eating them (chicken flavor), and goes alarmingly nuts for them. Great for adding water to diet, sick days, meds, etc. (Nulo, Tiki Cat, others also make quality puree pouches.)


  • Yes. Just FYI: All three have free “freeze” option, hidden somewhere (probably thanks to federal law). They also have very similar paid option, which they heavily advertise; That’s not the one. They do all require free accounts, but probably worth it to be able to freeze/unfreeze instantly online.

    I just received “dark web” alert about SSN, phone, name, and email… that I only used at AT&T many years ago. So AT&T has definitely leaked our data as well. Add 'em to the list…

    My (big ol’) cat used to somehow get all the way on top of an SUV and bite/bump the little stubby antenna. Easy to miss the damage! Bet there’s a bunch of cars out there with (delicious) chewed-up antennas. (They usually unscrew and are replaceable, at least.)
