Re: The Absolute State Of It - It's The UK Politics Thread!

Yeah, I can't see it as anything other than media bias. Reeves wasn't helped yesterday by the apparently shocking and unprecedented situation of a civil servant accidentally publishing the full budget before she'd had chance to deliver it. It feels like that's just woven into this narrative of incom...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

I'm hesitant to give anyone that claimed the Democrats had used their Jewish Space Lasers to start wildfires actual credibility, but seeing a prominent MAGA nutcase quitting and blaming Trump has been quite entertaining.

Re: General TV News

I wouldn't object to them doing a completely new plot and set of characters - much as I'd enjoy it, they'd be limiting their audience too much if they required a lot of knowledge of shows that ended 20 years ago. I just don't want them pretending like any of the major events of SG-1 and Atlantis did...

Re: General TV News

It's not a reboot? Well hot damn. I've not been able to get excited about all the talk of a new Stargate series over the last decade because it sounded like they wanted to throw out the SG-1 continuity and just do a separate sequel to the film. I re-watched the film earlier this year; it's not bad, ...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

Meanwhile yesterday Trump gave a 50 minute speech to a McDonalds conference. The rambling is next level - watch from about 26m to 27m and bear in mind that he's meant to be talking about McDonalds and their business. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPid-oVSSi4&t=1557s Earlier on, he's rambling agai...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

The senate has just passed it too, meaning all that’s left is Trump’s signature. Wonder if he’s lost his favourite pen all of a sudden. Or he'll sign it, then go into the press room and say that someone has signed it with an autopen without permission, thus beginning a four year investigation while...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

Well there we go then, 427-1 for releasing the files. Part of me was thinking that Trump was saying in public "Republicans vote yes" and then secretly was telling them they'd be murdered by teams of loyal special forces types if they actually did that. But no, it sounds like they decided they didn't...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

It's incredible how much propaganda the left is responsible for, isn't it? Just everything in the "non-fiction" category at your local library; all leftist propaganda! The right don't need evidence or facts, they're the side of the political spectrum that runs solely on vibes!

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Epstein Files are documents gathered by the US government to convict Epstein. Given Trump has a stranglehold on the DoJ and therefore the only source of these files, there's absolutely no way to verify anything that gets released, save for re-opening the investigatio...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

I'm not sure I'd agree with a 10/10 and "best ever" title for Fantastic Four, but it was noticeable how good it was by not being weighed down by the rest of the MCU continuity. It's funny how what was once the series' best feature now feels like a rod for its own back, with just *so much stuff* you ...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

I find myself having absolutely zero respect for any and all Microsoft products and services these days. Case in point; over Halloween, one of my co-workers and I chatted about his movie marathon, and it cropped up that I'd never seen the classic Hammer Horror Dracula starring Peter Cushing and Chri...

Re: Steam News & Updates

I've already seen Gabecube from multiple sources. It's a nice looking little machine. They're giving a 4060 as a comparison point for its graphical power, and say it should be capable of running all current games at 4k using frame gen stuff, so it sounds like a perfect replacement for home consoles....

Re: Steam News & Updates

I would much rather have a Steam-branded VR headset than the Meta-branded Quest 3 I've been using for the last couple of years. I hate Meta's interface, and I don't think it's worth repeating what a detestable company they are here, we all know it by now. But this thing is basically a Quest 3 with e...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c2dr3z9egljt Nothing will happen Boy, it sure would have been good had the Democrats not capitulated on the shutdown and demanded a proper senate investigation into the Epstein files with that leverage. Instead all we'll get is the usual "this is a smear attempt by Dem...
