Well apparently asshole prints are as unique as fingerprints, so maybe we’ll have a giant database of those too.

Because fuck Konami.
Which I can sort of agree with.
- Comment on Members of far-right party organising asylum hotel protests across UK, Facebook posts show 1 day ago:
Round here in the East Midlands it’s Reform and their troglodyte followers doing it.
Whinging they can’t fly flags (they can). Whinging that we’re being overrun with boat people (we’re not, but the asylum system needs a serious rejig so people don’t have to travel half the world to do it, and so we don’t have to house them in shithole towns while we think about it).
On the one hand it’s kind of fascinating watching 1930s Germany playing out in real time, seeing people falling for the same old bollocks. I just wish I was watching from afar rather than being in the middle of it.

He’s still furious that Scotland put some near his fucking golf course.
- Comment on Jeremy Corbyn on Britain’s New Left-Wing Party 3 days ago:
I mean, it worked for them last time they got in as well.
Tony Blair didn’t sweep to power under a banner of socialist reform. He got in by being slightly less shit than the people we were all sick of.
Our electoral system keeps us in a cycle of this by design. And Farage will just be Tories Extra.
I can’t really trust any of them. I suspect Corbyn would have an authoritarian streak a mile wide as well, but he’s not going to get in anyway.

Oh, the investor money already rolled in.
It’s just that investors also want it to roll back out again. That’s what they’re going to struggle with.

Yeah, I noticed Google had evaded the ban.
Would have thought they’d be all over the opportunity to gobble up even more data.

“Give me all your money” says world’s richest person, in a fit of originality.
- Comment on Teddybears - Punkrocker 4 days ago:
It’s probably the main reason that there are games about pretty much every superhero going, but Superman always gets skipped. Superman 64 is the classic example, due to how dire it was. There’s been a few attempts since then, but nothing popular and the last was about 20 years ago.
The only real threat to Superman is to attack the things he cares about.
I kind of like the subversion of Superman type characters, like Dr Manhattan (what if Superman was indifferent?) or Homelander (what if Superman was a cunt?)

Noot noot!

But it doesn’t even say that.
- Comment on Caves of Qud wins the Hugo Award for Best Game or Interactive Work 6 days ago:
Yeah, there’s a definite Commodore 64 aesthetic to it, but it feels like every pixel is meaningful. It’s all just detailed enough to be able to tell what’s going on.

The year is 2025: Morph is now the unofficial face of nationwide rebellion.
- Comment on YSK There's a campaign to replace the distorted Mercator world map with the fairer Equal-Earth projection 6 days ago:
The way the world’s going, the next accepted projection will be depicted on the backs of four elephants atop a turtle.
- Comment on Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain' 6 days ago:
All the authority of a bank.
None of the responsibility.
Plus Peter Thiel and Elon Musk had a hand in it, and made their fortunes. It’s right up there with Hitler and Reagan in the “reasons to invent a time machine and go back and destroy something”.

Never underestimate my desire to skive.
I’ll end up with legs like an Olympic cyclist.
- Comment on Debatable 1 week ago:
Sure, older men can pull off a moustache.
Sam Elliott. Nick Offerman. Hell, even Pedro Pascal.
Now see Michael Cera. That’s what all young people look like trying to make this work.
A moustache is earned, not granted.
- Comment on Debatable 1 week ago:
At least there’s no moustache-with-no-beard going on.
I’ve no idea who told kids they can pull that shit off, but they can’t.
- Comment on ChatGPT 5 power consumption could be as much as eight times higher than GPT 4 — research institute estimates medium-sized GPT-5 response can consume up to 40 watt-hours of electricity 1 week ago:
That’s alright. When they’ve got a generation of people who can’t even hold a conversation without it, let alone do a job, that price increase will drop that energy use pretty rapidly.
