Sad. I kinda liked it.

Another IndyCar Season, another race, and another Palou win.

Somebody's gotta stop that damned Spaniard!

The Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes Demo is superb.

Easy wishlist, looking forward to this one bigtime.

IndyCar's first practice in 45 minutes - we are so back.

Crawler’s been removed, historical reviews being reviewed to ensure people can keep their bylines.

I've asked my CTO to remove them from @criticdb.bsky.social's crawler.

We'll keep historical reviews that were published up until Feb 1.

Zero tolerance for AI generated reviews.

Yeah the Jazz fine was odd too, the whole thing felt VERY targeted considering 2-3 other teams did some shit that was CLEARLY tanking.

I mean the Pacers one...we beat two teams in a row WITH our starters not playing...yet fined???

Can't tell me Silver isn't corrupt lol

Hard not to think the NBA is biased against the Pacers, if this is how they handle injury management, and don't fine other teams for just pulling lineups mid-game.

This is all for the sake of betting.

This is such a bad idea.

Goal for this new feature is to drive some major "Stickiness" that leads people to our other content, reviews, features, and interviews.

Big goal for this year (as I stepped out of Guide Editing) is to grow enough to allow for one more full-time staffer.

Just focused on base hits, not homeruns.

Ramping up towards launching a major feature on @techraptor.net in the next few weeks!

We're still profitable (even w/ the major downturn in recent years) and driving solid traffic, so I made a major investment in the site end of last year.

Thankful that 13 years later, we're not stopping!

Collecting all my tax docs for my CPA. Super annoying to put all this together, including the business stuff, every year.

RIP, here's to hoping AppleTV doesn't suck

What sucks is the potential this game has/had. Getting a few more games in while I can.

What a crash out, should be a simple question to answer.

Just got a call (at 9p est) from Meta wanting to talk about TechRaptor doing ads on Facebook lol.

Nahhhh I'm good. Zero ROI there.

It's insane that it's been almost 13 years since I started @techraptor.net.

Still self-funded, self-managed, and with no real limitations to coverage.

I wish that the 2022/23 collapse of Search traffic hadn't stunted our growth or we'd have a much larger full-time team.

Well, that explains why I couldn't find any G'nyar'gyn'baal Worship groups on Meetup.

Darn.
