This is excellent!🤘🎶 I think this would go perfectly in a playlist with the newest Messa album.

Calibri is "Woke", apparently, b/c it's more readable ... and scalable & versatile, esp. on screens. Rubio's politicisation of a font is obviously pathetic.🙄 But I wonder how much the choice of Times New Roman has to do with MAGA's massive hard on for the Roman Empire.🤔

Mean tweets about US policy might mean no trip to Disneyland, under a new proposal that would see Australians provide their social media history for the past five years.

I hate to start a sentence with, "Only in ...", so I won't. Technically it's in the middle, anyway; and I don't think I need to finish it. 😈💥🦅

This really surprised me! Where the song starts and where it ends up going was not what I expected. Also, the band's full name is ... long.😵‍💫

Astute as always. 👍 But it's unsurprising that Evangelicals are so gung-ho for authoritarianism when for decades, under the guise of "missionary work", they've been lobbying various regimes to enact TERRIBLE oppression against LGBTQ people, girls & women, non-christians etc.😤

Not just 5 yrs of social media activity but ALSO phone number, residential & email address history AND fingerprint, DNA & iris biometrics. Oh & birthdates, birth places and addresses of family members and children.

Lol. "Welcome to the US", huh? Um, fuck off.🧐

This is a very nice upgrade to the game! 🎮 I've been playing this afternoon in portable mode. These screenshots are from that. You can see that the resolution, level of detail and visual fidelity has been very nicely upgraded for Switch 2.😁

Word to the wise, or rather, to people upgrading Skyrim to Switch 2: It's not an "upgrade" per se. It's a new game in your library, so any Switch 1 saves will NOT automatically download. You must manually download them before running the Switch 2 ver. It will prompt you to import. 🎮

Hmm ... 🤔 Who would have thought that a nation that has built itself upon foundational ideologies exemplified by tycoons, moguls, CEOs, oligarchs and mega corporations could end up being such a cruel and dehumanising place for 99% of the people who live in it?🧐

FFS. So basically, we are creating the kind of Internet in which "NetWatch" would need to deploy the "Black Wall".😮‍💨

This is just like what happened with the Torment Nexus, ... from that classic sci-fi novel, "Don't Create the Torment Nexus!" 😤

Finally got a chance to sit down and play Metroid Prime 4 Beyond. 🎮😁 It's freaking amazing!

The only flaw is that there is no photo mode!😱 Did Samus trip over and her photo mode module fall off? Can I fight a boss battle to reactivate it? 🤣

I for one am absolutely fine with Metroid Prime 4's Space Rick Moranis (that's obviously the inspiration, right?). 🎮👍 BUT as usual, the gaming Internet had to sh*t its own collective pants, and then reach in and smoosh it all around for no good fking reason.🙄

Yes, like the saying goes, "opinions are like arseholes, ... and Tarantino can be a bit of an asshole."🤔

But, whatevs.🙄 I've never been a huge fan of QT's films.

Funny that Matthew Lillard also cops a stray from the illustrious Quentin. 🤔

Picked up the Daemon X Machina sequel (aka "Titanic Scion" ??!!😵‍💫) for Switch 2. Game card, new & 30% off. If you've played other overly-serious & overly-complicated anime games, you know what to expect. 🥴 But it is fun,🫠🎮 & the price was right.👍

Surely THIS is not the future for the US that Republicans want. Surely ... right? It's to recreate the USA in the image of countries like China & Russia. A new era of isolation and decline. A state of constant adversarial posturing against the rest of the world.😮‍💨

"Body horror meets black metal." Now that's a description that gets my attention! And the excellent music holds it!🤘💀🎶 Being a Stephen King fan, the fact they're from Maine seems apt to me. Art imitating life or ...?

Can't wait to listen to it properly. I really loved their debut.🤘🎶 Self-described as "fairy doom" (hence the name) but in the dark sense of the word. Like the "fae folk" of forest leading you deeper into that forest's dark heart ...

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond's chatty space marine companions aren't so bad - it's Samus who is this game's narrative problem
Everyone will probably have an opinion Metroid Prime 4's stereotypical companions - but this'd all work a lot better if Samus just said something.

Routine is finally out 😱🎮‼️
I can't believe it. How long has it been? 13 years? I was so excited about this game when I saw that first trailer all those years ago. 🫠 The game is getting good reviews. I guess I'm off to the Steam store!😁

Reminded of a Michio Kaku video about theoretical Levels of Civilisation. A "Planetary Civilisation" is Level 1. "Solar" is 2, & on it goes. We ofc, are still "ZERO". He says the transition from 0 to 1 is possibly the most tumultuous, speculating that most civilisations destroy themselves instead.🤔
