I recently shaved my head. Like completely bald. Do you know what they don’t tell you before you do that? Putting on ball caps becomes a lot more difficult when you don’t have hair for the cap to glide over.

Dynamic ad insertion really kills sharing podcast clips from Overcast. The audio I clipped was no longer the audio I wanted because different length dynamic ad was inserted as it processed.

I haven’t played Starfox 64 in over 20 years. I picked up Starfox for the Switch 2 and played through the first mission. I remembered every single beat from the 64 version. So much nostalgia.
