A row of debug PS2 consoles with names including DENNIS HOPPER (reliable, runs old games and test code), RASPUTIN (very old + dead), and JOHNNY CASH (old and unreliable).
Old photo from the PSM days. Debug PS2s were so temperamental that we had to give them names to reflect their personalities. They all had their own quirks and flaws and weird sounds they made. Some would run certain games, others wouldn't. Not pictured: Tom Cruise, the one that always worked.
Macro photo of a brown stink bug in face view on a leaf, guarding a tightly-clustered bunch of eggs that are shaped and colored exactly like a full tray of dark beer with foam on top.
Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.
Finally got round to writing about my favourite PlayStation One game case - the hot mess that is Epidemic...

Watched Stargate (1994) and this mf is 100% the ref for Otacon in MGS:
✅ Same haircut and glasses
✅ Partnered with a spec ops military guy played by Kurt Russell (who played Snake Plissken,known inspiration for Solid Snake)
✅ Named "Hal Emmerich" same surname as Roland Emmerich, director of Stargate
Thoughts after replaying a couple of the SimCity games, and how a single, straightforward decision can change the entire feel of a game

I did my own commentary on the Olympics live on Twitch in 2021 and within two hours of starting with a grand total of about 100 viewers my stream was cancelled after a complaint by the IOC, I had received a legal warning and was banned from streaming for 72 hours.
That's how you get zero stutters in your game. You're welcome, game industry. #uetips

Bernie Sanders meme, with text as follows: I am once again updating my mega post about how awful the Cass Review is.
Happy Friday 13th! To celebrate the success of the UK establishment's continued "clarity" on trans exclusion, I am delighted to share a major update to my blog post "What's wrong with the Cass Review?"
The biggest change is an entirely new section on harms caused.

The entire British media fabricated a "scandal" at Tavistock and there were only 8 complaints over an entire decade. Yet the most actual common issues were about access to care and waiting lists.

To fill it with £20k of retro PS1 games? Yes, I think so 😂
“I’ve reviewed over 50 sticky toffee puddings” is an incredibly powerful way to begin a video
Fuck Otis.
So I am running the London Lea Valley 50km in March and trying to raise some money for Step Forward - a youth centre in Tower Hamlets, Kiddo attends their LGBTQIA+ group and it's been such a brilliant and supportive space for them, which feels so important when trans youth are under constant attack.
