If I were to make one "hot take" video game essay to the nobody that would listen, it would be a comparison of Horizon 1 and 2, to show how an obsession with map size/game length over quality and writing ruins games.

I have a feeling I'm not going to be finishing Cyberpunk 2077. It's not bad, but it's not blowing me away either, and it's honestly just too damn big.
At some point open world games just got too big to maintain their quality and I'd quite like them to shrink again thanks.

Shockingly, Starmer remains the spineless Tory coward you were warned about when you wanted to "get rid of the Tories".

Starmer won't be drawn on whether US strikes on Venezuela broke international law
The PM told the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg that he won't "shy away from this" but added we "haven't got the full picture at the moment".

Of course the fascist supports the fascism. That's hardly news.
I just wish Canadians would pay some fucking attention to our own Conservatives and their ties to the international fascist movement. Stop pretending they're normal, we're in danger.

Nigel Farage expresses support for Trump's "unorthodox" breach of international law - on grounds that they may "make China and Russia think twice"
But the main impact on Russia and China will be to help them to legitimise aggression in cases like Ukraine and Taiwan, citing Trump/US as analogous.

Man why did they bundle Laika with all that other shit?
Anyway if you're into that other shit, I can recommend Laika. It's....a grim, gory tale about a dog doing backflips on a trials bike and shooting Nazis. Yeah I know one end of that sentence doesn't sound like the other.

It's honestly fucking hilarious in my middle age when occasionally people on the Internet still try "yeah, well you're a furry!"

New Madooka Magooka trailer dropped..... Please let this be good, it's original continuity. We're CTRL+Z'ing everyone back to life *again* and adding a bunch of new girls. Really hoping this doesn't become a Magia Record.

Company has forced Copilot reviews on every PR and good god, it likes to waste your time.
I changed a comment to fix some weird grammar, and Copilot reviewed that change by suggesting a fix for weird grammar - the one I just made.
Yeah...thanks....

Is it actually legal for HGVs to be driving three abreast in BC or is it just another symptom of BC drivers not having any idea how lanes work?

Finally got my hands on a copy of Riviera for PSP. Ironically I owned Department Heaven 2, 3 and 4 but not 1. Telling people or putting it on the box would probably help.
(I know they have only light narrative relation but I still wanted to play them in order once I found out they're a series.)

Putting up cabinets when you live alone and are a huge nerd: stack frames, counterweight the overhanging section with your gaming rig's 240V step up transformer, and measure the level with a graph of your phone's raw gyro sensor output.

Accidentally put a network drop where two cabinets will meet. Do I do drywalling and painting to move it a few inches, mill out the load bearing spines of cabinets to accommodate it, or just have the cabinets not be centered on the wall (the obvious and practical fix that will drive me insane)?

Forcing myself to game and eat and rest without guilt today, so that I at least feel that Christmas occurred. Ain't quite the same when you live alone and your family's 7000km away.

There's something deeply ironic about starting Cyberpunk 2077 and going through a launcher, then an EULA, then data sharing settings before you can get to the game.

Today in "GitHub Under Microsoft is Not Fit for Purpose", the "is:archived" option in GitHub Search works correctly when searching for code, but has inverted behaviour when searching for repositories - the things being archived.
It has apparently been this way for at least 2 years.

Stack Overflow still using their blog to relentlessly push AI.
AI is still banned from Stack Overflow, BTW. They don't want their inputs polluted, they only want to sell the output of the actual humans they're ripping off.
Cunts.

If Trump wants a ship with his name and hilariously slimmed down artwork of himself on it, can't he just ask a middle eastern oil producer to buy him one? Demand one as tribute from Venezuela? Seems to be how America the Unmasked does things.
