I remember when I was a kid and was waiting for the holidays to come. I couldn’t read a calendar and could barely tell the time, so I just went through this bored/depressive period every single day for what seemed like an eternity until suddenly the holidays came.

Look, I’m not a fan of them either, but you can’t go around referring to members of parliament that way.

- Yep, but not the gov, from right-wing extremist groups funded by billionaires
- Yes
- It does work, but it shows how fragile it is to a few rotten apples
- The internet? No. Circa 2000 it was a wonderful place for nerds to exchange discussion. Social media gameified opinion, where the aim is to win an argument by votes and not just from the freeform exchange of discussion.

Anything over 31°C on a humid day is torture. As someone without AC, being indoors is the worst. What do you? Play games? Your devices heat up too.

One should not that though Thunderbolt over USB-C offers the same speed and connectivity as a native thunderbolt cable, the native cable can be 40m long whereas the USB-C implementation is max 2m

- None of the Soviet’s spoke fluent BBC english at the time
- All the scientists were squashed into a single organism called “supafrique” who was the main antagonist
- The level of radiation blasted into the atmosphere was greatly exaggerated by captain planet

- It was actually hard to write this list. This was a great tragedy.

- Comment on San Francisco says ‘good riddance’ as X prepares to leave 4 weeks ago:
“Turn around!” they begged him, as he strode slowly towards the desert sun, but he knew enough of Lot and of Orpheus, that it would only bring them ruin if he did. So heavy was his heart, that he glanced back with melancholy love, and thus the fair city of San Francisco turned to salt. He kept on walking into that desert sun, a heavy heart keeping him anchored to calls of vultures naysaying his poor sense of direction…
(Honestly good riddance to both. I have never seen more narcissists in my life than I have in SF.)

I tried to read through the Wikipage, but it was just too dense for me so I asked an AI to summarize which I think it did pretty well:
The Book of Enoch, also known as 1 Enoch, is an ancient Jewish apocryphal text attributed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. It is not considered canonical by most branches of Judaism or Christianity but is significant in the study of early Jewish thought and the development of Christian theology.
The book is divided into several sections:
The Book of the Watchers: This section describes the fall of the Watchers, a group of angels who descended to Earth and took human wives, leading to the birth of the Nephilim, giants who caused chaos. Enoch is chosen to intercede on behalf of the Watchers, and he receives revelations about the coming judgment. The Book of Parables (or Similitudes): This part contains three parables that focus on themes of judgment, the coming of a messianic figure, and the fate of the wicked. It emphasizes the importance of righteousness and the ultimate triumph of good over evil. The Astronomical Book: This section provides detailed descriptions of the movements of heavenly bodies and the calendar, reflecting an interest in astronomy and timekeeping. The Book of Dream Visions: Enoch recounts two visions that symbolize the history of Israel, including the judgment of the wicked and the reward of the righteous. The Epistle of Enoch: This final section contains exhortations to righteousness, warnings about the coming judgment, and reflections on the fate of sinners.
Overall, the Book of Enoch explores themes of divine judgment, the nature of evil, and the hope for redemption, making it an important text for understanding early Jewish and Christian eschatology.

The controls in GTA IV were realistic! Your car tyre would blip the curb and it would affect the stability of the car. Denting the car from every angle resulted in a uniquely deformed mesh that my god would still drive. Pedestrians would bounce off your bumper in unique and interesting ways. It was a simulation paradise.
In GTA V they changed all that, made it more midnight club and arcade-y as you said. You could literally decimate a crowd of people and they’d all die with the same canned animation. Cars would at most lose a door before considering deforming the whole mesh. It just felt dumbed down.
Saints Row is fun, but you play it once and then forget about it because there’s nothing to do once you reach godhood. Mercenaries was great fun, and Just Cause was a physics funbox, I’ll give you that

It’s a little known game from a small publisher originally located in Scotland.
The main premise is that you drive around a city as quickly as possible and go bowling with your cousin. Think Big Lebowski meets Driver. You can also play Pool and Darts in various locations around the town, and earn money doing small side jobs such as being a taxi driver or a paramedic.

I also met my partner there. I think it was asking her about some cats in her photos, and then walls of text about absolutely nothing. Thinking back on it, I sounded like a right nutjob, but hey it worked out

Legend has it that the higher up you go, the deeper it gets. The penthouse doesn’t even have an office in it, just a single solitary toilet perpetually occupied by a mysterious being known only to higher ups as The One Who Knocks

I’m not sure you’d win. This is a man with decades of Pavlovian training, who can literally fart on command given the right keyword. It’s a pretty wild gamble to assume that “poop poop” is not in this repertoire.
