You know for a fact they're only doing this because juries are routinely finding anti-genocide and climate change protestors innocent.
Bit of a test case here for “is liberalism still a real thing, or is it just a political version of a collection of Labubus that you show off to your friends” IMO.

Wild how India, Pakistan and the USA are 'drawn' together again. What a coincidence.

Gotta say for once, great job by #SuperLeague.

Pretty obvious fixture if you made Magic derbies, but also can now build more with Everton FC, and go if you missed the Ashes Test.

Also great they'll do the French Derby separately in France too.

It's wild how after all the shit Forza Motorsport's penalty system got, the past 3 big games have decided on 'instant stop on track' (NASCAR 25), 'very lax penalty point system' (Rennsport), and 'two seconds every time you go off track, but nothing for any contact' (Project Motor Racing).

Forget all the physics, AI and graphics disasters - I want to know why Beavis and Butthead over at Project Motor Racing thought it was in any way acceptable to have a penalty 'system' that solely and only always gives you 2 seconds any time you leave the track, and nothing for contact.

So I used to watch Cody/WhistlinDiesel's videos way back when he was doing fun shit like mudding a truck with drag slicks on. That was a cool idea.

But the guy quickly believed, liked and became this character, and all about destruction for views.

The last I watched was the offroad Mustang one.

Only noticed last night, but I got my second pre-op assessment for my oesophageal operation.

December 29th. I thought I was going to get a bit of rest from worrying about when. I guess my answer if I had the option to not have it in winter didn't matter.

The good thing is it's a Monday at 8:30.

I've been seeing many reviews of older racing games recently, and most are no longer available digitally, but the one that is is Split/Second: Velocity.

And I see UltraViolet put a video out just yesterday as well.

The base game's only £8.99 on Xbox but...

This is 100% getting hijacked by a certain darling of the West nation-state.

No doubt we'll also see all sorts of crazy declarations coming out being tied to it, like happens in America already.

As I'm watching one right now, any track racing game that has classic racing cars could set themselves apart by having historic versions of tracks.

There must be data out there for a good recreation. Spa-Francorchamps and Hockenheimring are the obvious as most recently 'lost', but maybe others too.

The Telegraph: "BBC headlines ‘three times as likely to vilify Israel over Hamas’"

Which with the massive difference in the number of attacks, deaths and injuries by each 'side', again shows how slanted towards Israel they've been.

Not that they or the group involved want you to take it that way.

I see GB News have reached the inevitable end point and goal of the 'free speech' grift - promoting in defence of a dopey Manchester professor using the 'n-word'.

I don't know which, as surprisingly enough they didn't use it themselves.

Supporting 'holocaust victims in Israel' isn't everything...

The only thing interesting about the fixed 'draw' for the 2026 Rugby League World Cup isn't the matches but the venues.

All of them are in current or expected #NRL cities but one - Christchurch.

And with the rumours about the 20th club, could be indicative of their interest.

Only saw the highlights, and I've said it before about the guy, but Matthew Carley really is a dreadful referee.

Couldn't even control a bunch of wombats, and then once he's already ruined matches, just decides to make up the interpretation of the laws as he goes.

Yet still gets given big games.

I've been thinking about this again recently, but I remember when Cities Skylines II was going to be a day 1 on Xbox Game Pass, and could even be pre-downloaded (as I did).

And what was that, over two years ago now?

Probably just me but I do really want to see top teams play in hybrid rugby matches.

Of course especially the long mooted Kangaroos vs All Blacks - though that won't happen while who's in charge at the NRL, but why not even England Rugby vs England Rugby League?

They'd be big if they happened imo.

I'm pretty disappointed with the PS5 store sale to be honest.

I know it's only been out a year, but I think I'll pass on Astro Bot being just 29% off. Also, we don't seem to have got the 33% off PS+ here either. I'll wait longer.

I did notice that NASCAR 25 was already heavily on sale though.

Something odd's going on on the #Xbox version of #TheCrewMotorfest.

As I said, Custom Show Platinum's now top 1k, so I finally missed out last week with no extra votes.

This week I have got 2 + my 3, but am outside the top 5k. Don't know if it's down to it being on Game Pass now or what.

A lot of people complaining Keira Bell is quoted like she is in this article, but she still is right. If you've for political expediency decided puberty blockers know when they're entering a trans child's system, it is inexplicable to give them now they're 'unsafe'.

For all the stick it got - mostly rightly - it's incredible that while Forza Motorsport can have 24 car grids in single player, the newest 'big thing' Project Motor Racing will only have 16 car grids on console.

Not looking good to make multi-class races with it then.

I am SHOCKED to be hearing Project Motor Racing is nowhere near ready to release.

No-one could have seen it from the shown handling, physics and AI.

And you can add it's badly un-optimised too.

Oh well, if it flops on launch, the devs can blame it all on the radical woke far left again.

Sadly, the base version of Forza Horizon 5 is still only 50% off in the #Xbox Black Friday sale, like it was a few months ago.

I'll probably get it now, just to have it to play when I go down to Game Pass Essential with the price rises.

I'm also waiting to see what comes in the #PS5 sale.
