Android itself does plenty of data collection on its own; I’m not sure if the brand really makes much of a difference here, unfortunately.

I installed Sailfish OS on a Sony Xperia phone a few years ago, and that worked well enough. I had a couple of Android apps that I needed to use for work, and Sailfish has some kind of Android environment built in that lets you run Android apps. I worked for me, but I didn’t try any payment apps or others that tend to be picky about what type of phone you’re using.

Calling this a Marathon game makes no sense, and I don’t just mean aesthetically. The business case can’t possibly be there, either.

Anyone who has a nostalgic attachment to Marathon (👋) won’t be interested in this new game, and anyone interested in this new game probably doesn’t care about the name “Marathon.”

On top of that, there’s the fact that Marathon kind of looked like Halo. When Bungie made Halo, they were clearly taking after their own art style from their previous games. Which means Bungie could have announced that they’re making a singleplayer first person shooter that kind of looks like Halo. Everyone would have lost their minds. Instead, they announced yet another live service game, and no one is interested.

In case anyone misread the headline the way I did: The PS5 is selling about the same as the PS4 did at this point in its lifespan. The headline kind of makes it sound like the PS4 is still selling as many consoles as the PS5 today.

Honestly, I’m kind of surprised that it’s selling that well at all, considering how much of this generation has just been remasters of PS4 games.

With Forza coming out on PS5 a few days ago, and now this, it definitely seems like Playstation owners will be playing Halo soon.

Nice. I’ve noticed a few user-agent strings containing “Claude” visiting my blog recently. Was wondering what to do about it.

A few months ago I couldn’t sleep, so I turned on the TV and flipped through the regular old channels for the first time in probably about 15 years. There was a sumo tournament on NHK (Japanese public broadcaster) and I was immediately hooked. I’ve been following each tournament since then. For anyone who’s curious about it, matches are very easy to understand if you just want to watch the sport, but if you decide to starting looking up more information about the history behind these events, there is so much to read.
