Jesus, how fucking depressing is that
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 6 days ago:
Isn’t Marvel Rivals free? And uses very recognisable, well known and beloved characters? I agree that sex sells, I just think this particular comparison might have other factors when it comes to how active the game is lol
- Comment on i truly believe that there's an open war between Humanity vs. Advertisers and their allies. 1 week ago:
Haha yeah that’s what I mean; the marketers at work are constantly blathering on about how we need to develop for ChatGPT and it’s just like… Fuck off 😂
- Comment on i truly believe that there's an open war between Humanity vs. Advertisers and their allies. 1 week ago:
They’re building the internet for AI now, and were building it for advertisers for years before that, what with SEO choking up search results.
What should have been a wonderfully expressive, collaborative, and unifying medium is just being completely ravaged.
I, unfortunately, work in web development.

Or that prehistoric women and girls were extraterrestrial beings who, by and large, simply teleported away and died off-world, thus not leaving remains for us to find.
Hale-Bopp is absolutely chock full of the remains of prehistoric women. It’s crazy up there. Can’t even play hopscotch, what with all the femurs and skulls everywhere.
- Comment on Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like 2 weeks ago:
They won’t get any kind of reckoning that we’ll understand. They’re rich, powerful, and insulated from pain. They’ve all got golden parachutes via their weaselly networks. There will be no karma.

Yeah Triagonal is a nonce

Business leaders can pay $5mil to have a candlelit dinner with Trump so I’m not sure how backroom these deals really are lol
- Comment on The PS2 turns 25 years old today. Crazy, right? Perfect day for revisiting some classics. What are some of your favourite PS2 games? 2 months ago:
Omg absolutely! With the “not holding your hand” thing, I think a lot of the magic and enigmatic feeling of the PS2 games catalogue is that you’d only hear about Easter eggs, rather than knowing theyre in the game via dlc listings in storefronts or anything. They felt weird and slightly messed with understanding how big games were. Even up to Halo 3 with that weird developer monkey family and Black and White 2 where it would whisper your windows account name if you played after 10pm?
Games were just slightly hostile back then, or at least had the developer’s agenda in mind rather than the marketing algorithm’s

Weirdly enough, I am currently smoking weed and playing Airblade on that first PS2 lol

Unless you get shat on by a bird; in which case, everyone tells you it’s good luck, but ultimately you’re still covered in bird shit.

Do you miss how weird and liminal some of the games on this system were? Maybe it’s because of the magical thinking of a child, but even the startup screen and disc read failed screen were so… Weird? Freaky? I don’t know, I know there’s plenty of indie games now and plenty of shovel ware on current gen but it feels different, there was a strange magic to some games on the PS2 that seems to be sort of inimical

You’re not wrong about seeds. The saying doesn’t mention, refer to, imply anything about, or have anything to do with seeds, though.
- Comment on Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from? 2 months ago:
It’s so weird to me that it’s ketamine, incidentally. Like, maybe I’d understand it more if Musk was heavy into cocaine, but the biggest ket users I know basically just drop off the grid, wear the same cardigan for a year straight and boof crystals in their van with their polycule… Not this Nazi shit. It’s so weird.

I still get goosebumps from that song for this reason! Nick Drake’s Three Hours gives me a similar feeling.
- Comment on I cannot tell you a way my life has genuinely gotten better since the advent of "smart" phones. 4 months ago:
To be totally fair, with my older phone the GPS never worked properly (it was very cheap), so I’d usually look up the directions to a place beforehand and text them to myself for use later. Did get lost a lot but you can usually just ask somebody where to go
- Comment on just three women have died and 50783 babies have been saved by Texas' abortion law. A damn good trade if you ask me. 5 months ago:
You’re obviously looking for a reaction by using the phrase “a damn good trade” when referring to dead women. That is very weird.
