This is how's it's done.

Bonus points if you can turn into a bat and start mauling the person asking the question.

Damn... They should cast Jared Leto in that Harry Potter series.

A box of six of the smaller ones is only £25. And they're buildable, so it tickles that Lego itch. 11/10.

Was just on Reddit and, somehow, the most pure recreation of Giger's work comes from... Monster High?

The lips and the face are so, so close to the original Necronom IV artwork. It's almost like a reimagining of the head from the OG Alien 3 design, albeit less dog-like.

Researching which digital audio player I want is going well.

The big choice seems to be do you want something with less audio power and better battery life, or something that sounds amazing but may explode?

Really, really hope this is accurate.

After the very rancorous online debate, it looks like housefresh.com more than made their recovery post-HCU decimation.

I wonder how much is:

-> Algo updates
-> Manual intervention (it was very public)
-> Equity earned *because* of the loss (links/brand searches)
-> Things they changed

A line graph from Ahrefs shows the organic search performance of a website. The graph covers the period from February 2021 to October 2025. It plots two lines: one for referring domains (blue line) and one for average organic traffic (orange line).

The referring domains line shows a steady increase from around 0 to just over 6,000. The average organic traffic line remains relatively flat at a low level until late 2024, at which point it begins to climb dramatically, reaching over 240,000 by October 2025. The orange line's steep, upward trend indicates a significant and rapid growth in organic traffic.

It's a vapid Nier-style world alongside DMC's combat without any basic understanding of why it worked.

There's absolutely nothing new or remotely interesting in there.

It's a worse version of every game it borrows from. The more you play, the more you realise how much of its success rides on Eve's chest.

Oh shit! Will definitely give that a listen!

This might be the single greatest example of music theory ever.

Couldn't stop laughing!

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.
