Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

Oh don't get me wrong, I drink them purely out of necessity when it's before 6am and nowhere else is open. They're normally a solid 3.5/10 coffee, but the new lids really surpass themselves at bringing that down to a new low.

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

I had a coffee from McDonald's with a paper lid this morning when I had a super early start with work. It tasted like drinking through a toilet roll tube. Let the world burn if it means I don't have to drink anything like that ever again.

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

The theatrical cut also doesn't explain how the Palantir randomly ends up at the foot of the tower under the water. Pippin just wanders over and picks it up because the glimmer of it catches his eye. It's a bit messy.

Re: Aaand, In Other News...

It was destined to come down at some point. A significant amount of their current value is based on the hype they generated by bullshitting about AI. All of the tech companies have been overvalued way beyond what they're actually capable of doing with the technology at the moment. But yeah, I suspec...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

Musk simply bankrolls his companies with money he obtained from owning PayPal, which incidentally he bought with money given to him from his daddy's slave mining operations. One look at the guys deluded outbursts on his social media platform tells you he's an absolute bloody idiot. And a dangerous o...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

That photo of Musk giving the Nazi salute from the podium is going to be something we see in history books in years to come. He knew full well what he was doing when he did it twice in a row. I don't think people quite understand the significance of such a symbolic gesture at a presidential inaugura...

Amazing target for a drone strike.

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

A lot of the absolute worst case scenario stuff people are getting worked up about would massively diminish America's standing as the global hegemon and hugely destabilize the world economy, invading allied NATO states basically on a whim is full on insanity. Hopefully someone with some sense of pre...

Re: Your favourite stuff of 2024

I did love Helldivers 2 initially, it had a good sense of fun and challenge, and was a good laugh with friends. It made you simultaneously feel like a badass, yet vulnerable. But then a pattern started to emerge; they started to ruin the power fantasy, and it was all down to one particular enemy - ...

Re: Your favourite stuff of 2024

Helldivers 2 takes the win for me too. Absolutely brilliant game that really recaptured my love for online co-op. It's an outstanding game even with randoms, but a full party of friends just elevates it to the next level. Such a well made game, and the way they've kept the online service element go...

Sony did that with the XM4 to XM5 update. Took an absolutely perfect set of headphones which were only getting better sound-wise and made them look absolutely awful and flimsy.

Re: General TV News

The Warhammer one is pretty much just murder from start to finish. It is very slick animation though, very fun to watch. I feel like this isn't really as strong as the Love, Death and Robots series, which I absolutely loved. It seems to be in an awkward place where the episodes aren't long enough fo...
