I watched a fair bit of that, I don't remember stopping for any particular reason. I ought to go back and finish it.

It shouldn't even have gotten to the postie though; they had the instruction yesterday morning. I checked the tracking history, and it shows the timestamps of when I submitted my requests to deliver it on Friday, and it's scanned at least twice between that point and being out for delivery. Surely t...

The thing that amuses me most about the tariff news is that of the three judges that voted unanimously to block them, one was appointed by Obama, one by Ronald Reagan, and one by, you guessed it, Donald Judas Trump. The administration has already launched an attack at "unelected judges" when one thi...

I saw a stat a little while back that an AI query uses five times the energy to process than an internet search would. Google, in their infinite wisdom, made AI summaries of their search results happen automatically, so presumably their search processing increased in energy usage sixfold. Given the ...

Royal Mail have delivered a parcel to my home address, I'm currently in the office. I had told them twice not to do so; once after I got the initial "your delivery will be tomorrow" email, yesterday, a few minutes after receiving it, and again when they ignored that and emailed me this morning to sa...

I'll be adopting it, for sure. I use Opera for work, and am interested to see if this will do my job for me, so I can spend more time doing fun things (like running virtual text-based RPGs) in Chrome ¬_¬ I'm interested to know what you get out of it, because the ad is yet another "look at the possi...

Pantheon (Netflix) Pretty good proto-cyberpunk animated series about the invention of technology that allows the human brain to be destructively scanned and uploaded digitally, from the same animation studio that did Invincible. The story's quite compelling, but I absolutely loved the way it ends. ...

Man, I know complaining about social media algorithms is like trying to put out an oil rig fire by urinating on it, but trying to show off your work in creative hobbies these days is bloody painful. I don't have any actual friends that participate in Gundam model building, nor are in-person events r...

At least a part of my decreasing opinion on the franchise is the quality of the writing has plummeted. I think their humour works, but it needs to be a side aspect rather than the focus, but with every game they've focussed on it more at the expense of everything else. BL2 had a fantastically well-w...

He's being awfully bullish about BL4 when the last three releases, including the film, haven't been very good. BL2 is one of my most played games, Pre-Sequel was good but not stellar, BL3 I tried to play multiple times and just ran out of steam, and TTW was when I turned to the rest of our co-op gro...

Andor Season 2 I think if all Star Wars shows were as good as this, the franchise wouldn't have become something of a joke. Ok Kathleen Kennedy, you've had your one big success, you can fuck off now and let someone else take over. Anyway, it's an excellent series that I think fulfils the promise of...

Pity. All they really needed to do was just do another version of the 2016 reboot with new enemy types and varied levels. The enormous swathe of mods and custom levels that were made semi official releases over the years just shows that all you really need is fresh content because the formula is ro...

This does not make a good first impression. - Firstly, before booting the game, it told me to do a BIOS update to "protect my CPU from potential damage". What the hell is this game doing that could damage my hardware? - The game has a sprint button. Why the hell would I want to not sprint in Doom? T...

It's more the "constantly running" thing. I just can't commit to being able to respond at any time of day, and I always felt like I was holding the game up when I didn't. It ended up feeling more like a chore than a game for me. If you do want to use Discord though, I can open a channel for the game...

How about Wrathbone and Raid; you interested in joining this party of outlaw scum?

Not for me. The forum-post format didn't really work for me.
