What I’m Up To
Last updated: July 6, 2026
Hot Takes
At this point Microsoft should just sell Xbox off, it’s been over 10 years now of let down after let down, I mean the damn fans have been telling you what they want constantly Microsoft, and you go against it at every turn. Helix has so much promise, but I have no faith in you to pull it off at all. This is also why I went to Macs exclusively, Windows is just awful now. It’s time for a new CEO. — Tech, July 6, 2026
It’s going to become hard to be a gamer or an enthusiast, AI is destroying the market and pricing everyone out of it. If gaming companies want to stay alive they are going to have to make consoles last 10+ years going forward as no one is going to be able to afford anything new with the prices going on. Steam Machine should have been a game changer, but instead it’s priced itself out of its target market. It’s not Valve’s fault it’s Big Tech’s fault. — Tech, June 28, 2026
With the cancelation of Stargate, I may never use Amazon again. Syfy channel lost my viewership when they cancelled Stargate Universe, Amazon is now floating that same boat. — Tech, June 5, 2026
Trump should be in jail for insider trading after the Dell stock purchase. — National, June 4, 2026
