Does feel like I didn't play as many games as I would have liked this year, but it's not as bad as I'd thought. #bgstats #tabletop

Treated myself to using annual leave between Christmas and New Year, only to immediately get sick. Bought myself the new Octopath Traveler game to play since I'm stuck on the sofa anyway. 🤷🏻‍♀️

There's just so much fucking money on the anti trans side. They stuff the pockets of anyone willing to be their stooge. It's hate for pay.

So very tired, but I couldn't let 2025 end without taking stock of Microsoft's embarrassing treatment of gaming, Windows, and indeed human beings while it chases the AI money train
Microsoft's year of shame
Can't make a few trillion dollars without ditching game developers, going googoo gaga for AI and supplying tech to the military, I suppose!

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Seeing as its christmas and steam sale time I figured I should recommend some games I enjoyed this year, even though they are mostly of the old school shooty bang bang variety that nobody else likes. I've probably mentioned all these before so feel free to ignore this

Have you tried Apple's "Clean Up" ai function in Photos? It's advertised as being able to remove blemishes, distracting details, entire objects. But if you use it in any photo that contains nudity it switches to a censored pixelation mode. One step closer to my tweeted predictions.

One other thing I've noticed is that you're suddenly against all technology if you're critical of GenAI.

No dude, I like robots, VR, and digital watches. And I can see the benefits of assistive AI/LLMs for stuff like medical research and data processing and pre-existing automation QoL stuff.

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party.

Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar
Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people
