Thanks everyone! I've got an amazing list now I need to go through. I'll be stalking eBay later. Dad's gonna get so many hours of quality gaming for Christmas
Putting together a bundle of the best Xbox 360 games for my dad for Christmas. (Only console he owns, still going strong.) He's sunk many hours into Skyrim, and he quite enjoyed L.A Noire. Any suggestions? Alan Wake is on my list already.

I shouldn't repost in haste! Don't write Aardman off completely (yet 😬)
Out of nearly 100 qrts, there was EXACTLY one that rightfully called out this article as clickbait and provided a contextual screenshot of what they actually meant

This isn't Gen AI, nor is it a misinformed executive. It's the same team that weathered the CGI boom saying they're ready for round two

Dunno how your Monday is going, but I'm knee-deep in a chapter of a book titled 'Clough's Ambivalent Victorian Manhood'

This is Oreo, which we shorten to Ori, which became Ori Bori, then Ori Bori Boobins, and now, sometimes, just Boobins.

Imagine posing for a photographer friend who sells your image to iStock and a year later, you see this is what The Washington Post has done with the image of you walking on a beautiful fall day

Watched eps 1 and 2 of Stranger Things. I have mixed feelings. I won’t share them yet. But I will say that I love this woman

I cannot stop laughing. This is so indicative of what's wrong with these AI people and how they view art
He ran into a wall where the "make art" button wasn't satisfying because it wasn't actually making good enough art, and instead of trying new things he just requests a stronger button

Sister (at the vets): I've come to collect medication for my cat.
Receptionist: No problem, what's her name?
Sister: Luna.
Receptionist: Her full name?
Sister ... Luna Tuna Margaret

Looking through old photos, and I have remembered the existence of Pedro

My sister and niece have both taken the day off to binge watch Stranger Things together. I love this for them (but am jealous)

This is weird considering what other types of stuff Steam lets on there… you know… like full on porn games and a game that just came out about torturing people for sport.

Budget, you say? Can't tune in, I'm busy watching the vastly superior Netflix show Next In Fashion

@rachelwatts.bsky.social is an absolute joy to work with ❤️
By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.

Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.

So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.
