Nah.

The good part is that I won’t be around much longer to see it all go to hell in a handbasket.

The bad part is that my kids will.

Sorry about that, kids, I honestly did the best I could.

Half-Life 3.

I’m still waiting, Gabe. No pressure. You do your thing.

English is not my native language, but I think the word you’re after is “bullshit”.

As one does.

It’s not cheating, it’s thinking outside the box.

It’s not hard. I loathe hard games, we used to have them in the 80s because, well, how much can you pack in 48 kilobytes? You had to kill the player over and over to get longer engagement time.

Nowadays, with the amount of storage we have available, it makes no sense to make the game hard unless you are targeting the masochisticcompetitive crowd. You can use it to tell a good story, or pull the player into an immersive reality.

It depends on your tastes in games, of course. It’s quite linear, it’s got some puzzle element, some boss fighting, but what it makes it good is the storytelling. Good characters, lovely scenarios, compelling writing.

Feels a bit like Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, or the Amnesia series: there’s a story there, and some gaming elements thrown in to keep you going. I’m quite liking it, I want to know what happens next.

The Presidents Of The United States Of America.

Silly lyrics about bugs and serious rock. What’s not to like?

A Plague Tale, Alien Breed, Hellslave. Quite the mix, huh?

I already had a powerful computer with a great screen in my hand, so I bought a controller to attach to my phone. Works for me.

Put some useful data in a web page (weather, traffic, stocks, whatever), keep it open in the phone web browser. Glue some magnets on the back of the phone and stick it to the fridge.

I wonder how many people per year you can move with that amount of money applied to light rail.

Small price to pay for people to have their funny memes and deep fakes.

Skeever tail.

This capitalism looks and smells a lot like good old USSR style communism.

All his decisions can be reversed by the next president.

And then reversed by the next next president. Do you think this kind of trust violation blows over just like that?

The orange Cheeto threatened to annex a fucking European country. And nobody in the US told him otherwise. The Democrats seem to be too busy eating popcorn and waiting for elections.

Can someone please put a responsible adult in charge of that damned organization?

I had an account a long time ago, it was very good. They unfortunately deprecated the UI translations, so everything went German only, which was painful to navigate.

I grew up with the knowledge that “Internet routes around damage”. In those days that referred to censorship and walled gardens.

I’m not sure if and how it would work with disinformation and AI slop as the damage to route around of.

I’m cautious but hopeful.

Yep, time to wipe my Epic account.

Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.
