I'm glad I exited my entire $GOOGL position at $387

[Nicholas Mugalli @RealNickMugalli]

$GOOGL falls nearly 6% after DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis announces plans to step down

This is what @firstadopter has been talking about. Google’s culture is full of bureaucracy and inefficiency. Why would you let go of the only asset you’ve got? 5 top talents are gone now! Sad

[Matthew Ruston @mruston]

Not loving Doom's The Dark Ages Revelations DLC. They took a perfectly comfortable game design from the base game and ruined it with too many new buttons to press.

[Matthew Ruston @mruston]

Avowed and Outer Worlds 2 had to be 2 of the most boring games I've ever played. Not sure how they manage to do it.

[ˢʰʸ @QuiteShallow]

Obsidian making new fallout game, huh. Surely after crushing mediocrity of outer worlds 1, vapid nothingburger of outer worlds 2, embarrassment of avowed and 25% layoffs they will deliver another new vegas grade masterpiece. Then again, couldn't be worse than starfield.

Meta throwing shit against the wall after they failed on AI.

I think I'll take my gains on this pick now.

Credo hits $300 for first time, tripling since early March

[Matthew Ruston @mruston]

This needs to be made.

Whos watching this!?

[Matthew Ruston @mruston]

Been there.

Datadog is the only company I know of where everyone who churns loves it and doesn’t want to churn, but is forced to because their biz side insists on absolute extortion.

Engineers usually fight for good tools. But even when they hear the bill $, they go “wait, what?”

I guess I live in a Liberal riding for the first time in 20+ years 🤯🤯🎉

Bought Requiem on a whim. I adore it. Not sure why it's so good, but it's just good 🤷‍♂️

[AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem @AestheticGamer1]

(1/2) Seriously, Resident Evil Requiem is doing the numbers Capcom was hoping that Resident Evil 6 would do back in 2012. I'm sure they're absolutely celebrating, & wouldn't be surprised if Requiem's performances was seen as clearing a milestone for RE internally, to push forward

[Matthew Ruston @mruston]

I am sure am tired of getting articly blasted.

[Ryan Hall, Y’all @ryanhallyall]

ANOTHER Arctic Blast coming this weekend. This one will pack a punch with dangerously cold wind chills. Get ready for 30+ degree below average temps...

[Matthew Ruston @mruston]

My week so far

[Matthew Ruston @mruston]

I’m officially in the “at least 3 Claude code terminals open at all times” level of hype and adoption. Also installed Copilot CLI preview today to kick the tires.

[Matthew Ruston @mruston]

@LewisMenelaws @cocoasulphur I want 1+ hour videos I can fall asleep too. A++ will attempt to fall asleep to this later.

[Matthew Ruston @mruston]

Time for an upgrade. Gut says that this is the lowest price they will be for 2026. Big improvement over the 2080 Super.

[Matthew Ruston @mruston]

This was literally the decision that put me in the house I'm in.

After ~250 hours in Blue Prince @dogubomb we finally finished. Been playing since April, it's been an amazing journey.
