Something that I wish existed: a project like Anubis, but for recruiters at staffing companies that won't stop reaching out to me, and have no way to unsubscribe me from their communications.

TIL the Apple Music app on Apple TV has music videos playing that you can stream anytime - just like MTV used to have.

I can hear 2003 calling. Anyone see my flip phone?

I love it when a recruiter reaches out with a job description that seems to encompass a whole team's worth of work for one position. Sure... I'll consider this... for multiple salaries...

In the real world, this job could be 80 hours/week, which I'm definitely not signing up for.

I picked up the game Arranger recently and have had a lot of fun playing it on my TV.

Arranger is a puzzle game where parts of the floor move with you as you move around, and that's also how you use items. Key to unlock a door? Get it in front of the door and push. Sword agains an enemy? Push it into said enemy. There's no health mechanism or even an inventory to manage.

They also have a free demo - which I always appreciate. I quickly played through that on my Steam Deck and that decided for me that it was worth the price.

The next game I plan to pick up for my Steam Deck is Arranger.

They have a free demo, which I always appreciate, and I like the mechanics. Your player has zero inventory; all your items are present in the world. It’s up to you to move them where you need them!

The game plays really well on the Steam Deck and looks great, too. I might see if it’s something I can get on my TV. I’m sure it’d be gorgeous.

Don't you love it when online accounts are *so* secure nobody can even get in? Even if you reset your password...and verify your phone... and verify your email.... all successfully in the same visit.

And then it can't find your account.
