First impression is the vibes are spot on.

I regret to inform you all that Pokopia is, in fact, as good as everyone says it is.

what a classic

Why the fuck are Brian Jonestown Massacre bothering to tour here again. Their last tour here ended with them brawling onstage. Utter embarrassment of a band.

They say the most value you get from anything worth doing is in the journey. Gen AI seeks to kill the journey. It’s so utterly dehumanising.

Doesn’t really matter how good a facilitator you are, once you start talking gen AI I’m out.

It feels like AAA has gotten to a point that it’s just no longer viable in 99% of cases. Awful.

99% humidity. 0% rain.

Kill me

@damonreece.com happy birthday for yesterday buddy. Hope it was a very good one.

😘👌

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

"Pre-emptive strike" is and always has been propaganda speak for "we started another war"

🤡

ah man, one of the best f1 cars ever built.

they remade marathon and made it an extraction shooter... 😩

Hey if you can’t afford a place maybe don’t buy it! Fuck Ziff Davis!

There were entire tweet threads about this. Pretty sure that discussion went on for at least a week!

“What if there was a video game where the only things that existed in the game world were things you were looking at 🤔🤔” - some linkedin guy.

My guy you are describing frustum culling and it has been a thing since computer games have needed to worry about memory allocation. Which has been forever.

Lmao I don’t think any person in their right mind would suggest Spurs are strong. And yet, there they are in the final 16 of European champions league. Almost like the UCL isn’t as strong as the PL, which always my point.

Literally six teams from the competition are in the knockout phase of the champions league. How is that weak? Unless we’re saying all of European football sucks???

Interesting! Is the curdle warning cos the acid content?

“The premier league is so weak this year”

Crit from other writers I get. That’s just talking shop amongst your peers. But I do always smirk a little when a review amongst a sea of reviews sparks this kind of conversation.

I think people who get mad about games writing a lot are, in general, jealous that they aren’t getting paid to do the same thing. It has nothing to do whether or not they like/agree with the subject matter.

review discourse is always fun

This guys answer to everything seems to be more cops with bigger guns. No, that’s quite literally that’s what he wrote.

I totally get it. Im fortunate enough to be able to walk to the office when I need to be there so fully get any opportunity to avoid public transport is a win.

So the roof is definitely leaking.

Does anyone know a place in VIC (north pref) that will give me a fair price for videogame collectibles etc.

Need to sell some stuff to keep a roof over my head.

I have a lot of AC statues. Some old games. Gears of war lancer. Etc.
