Weeknotes #77 (April 25, 2026)
Posted on:
Things I found, read, did, and produced this past week.
Things I consumed
- Apple CEO Tim Cook is stepping down and handing reins to John Ternus this fall. Ternus is currently the SVP of Hardware at Apple, and with the critical success of Apple Silicon on the Mac which Ternus lead over the last 6 years, I have high hopes.
- FFXIV 8.0: Evercold is the newest expansion for Final Fantasy 14 that will be coming out next January. Of note, The job action system is being streamlined as well as switching from a daily login cycle for running dungeons and other tasks to a weekly cycle so it is more welcoming for people that may not be able to play the game every single day.
- The 1.0 release of Shapez 2 came out this week, and with it a new game mode, manufacture mode, was added which aligns the game more with other factory games rather than just focusing on the puzzle aspects.
- Finally, I picked up Pragmata, Capcom's newest Action adventure game. It definitely has intense moments similar to Capcom's Resident Evil series, but instead of horror, you have to manage gunplay with a puzzle UI to enhance your damage in real time in a run-down moonbase setting.
