So apparently the police did a pre dawn raid of the HMO over the road and spent the last few hours taking drugs etc out of it.

BLOPS6 was littered with AI slop, in fact the battle pass and shop bundles will filled with it. There was gun blueprints that broke character models because the AI had rendered them outside of collision and hit box detection limits. There was art assets that made no logical sense.
"There is an extreme amount of AI artwork used within the base version of the game, despite the fact that last year’s Black Ops 6 made over $1 billion in its first 10 days on sale—the highest-grossing CoD game ever."
Too bad I don't play CoD, I can't boycott it 🤣

This is what MS does not understand with it's everything is a Xbox and Win 11 being hid by a controller friendly interface. It's not about playing Black Ops 7 or whatever A thing on gamepass. PC Gaming is everything from old titles, to retro, to Indies to casuals to E-Sports.
Even with lower specs, the Steam Machine will be highly competitive against Microsoft's next console thanks to Valve's two unique advantages, says Rob Fahey: Steam itself, and the "unsung hero of PC gaming disruption", SteamOS.

Well that's some haunted house shit! A musical Christmas decoration that's in storage downstairs just switched itself on and played Christmas music. It has a mechanical switch and nobody was near it, not any way for switch to be knocked 👻

The Rockstar union case made its way into UK Parliament earlier today
Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office. I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.

AI slop everywhere it's in advertising both print and broadcast. It's approximately 30% of all new streaming 'music' it's in AAA gaming. Hollywood are using it and it's bolted onto every device you own or will own and spies on you and uses you as a data point and resource.

Excited to announce that I have just bought Ubisoft.
Ubisoft just postponed its earnings report and halted the trading of its shares. Unclear why at this point but could indicate a major announcement related to the company.

Just adapt the John Gardner licenced novels, he wrote 16 in the style of the OG EON movies of the day. You need to get back to the formula and ignore the Craig era and that story arc all together.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."
