I bounced off it hard, this is not my type of game. I also got killed repeatedly by an invisible monster in the tutorial that is never announced, you're not told it's there or how you're supposed to fight it (I ended up climbing on top of the bunker and cheesing it when it couldn't pathfind up to me...

I did it directly from the console and am currently on 46Gb, you on PC?

Yeah, it's specific to the PC platform, presumably because PC files are more likely to be cracked open.

Well that's alright because the XBox app doesn't let you sodding pre-load anything except for a 10mb license file. Given the frequent crapshoot that is any app produced by Microsoft, I had to search Google to ask whether this was working as intended. Surprise, it is! I guess it just means I'll have ...

Dr. Oz? Dr. fucking Oz?! He's almost literally one of those travelling salesmen who want to tell you about their rejuvenating tonic that takes the zing of mercury and combines it with the restorative effects of asbestos. If Trump wanted an Oz I think the Wizard of would have been a better pick, he's...

I know AI can typically get in the bin, but this is particularly brilliant.

Deadpool and Wolverine Oh thank god, there's still someone that works at Disney that isn't just a hideous, amorphous amalgamation of seventeen focus groups and twelve censor panels, or that at least hasn't been injected by whatever Mickey Mouse logo-shaped nanoprobes that they use and forced to ser...

I can't speak for Mantis but The Expanse is the best TV programme I've ever watched. I do agree to some extent on the ending, but frankly the journey to get there is staggeringly good for much of the series' run - it's not like Game of Thrones where the ending ruined the credibility of what happened...

But they did vote him in, remember? He won the popular vote by a lot. It was the billions of illegal immigrants, Mike Pence and the security staff from the Capitol building that stopped him from taking office.

They were joking on the Daily Show that the Democrats should just confirm all of these positions as a policy of "fuck around and find out". I don't really get the logic here; why is he picking dangerously unqualified people for top jobs? It almost feels like there ought to be an angle, some scheme a...

I feel much the same way about going to the GP these days, and indeed much of the NHS. I had an endoscopy (that's the top end) a couple of years back, one of the most unpleasant experiences I've ever had, and I never had the results from it. I don't know whether they just didn't inform me (I have as...

It's exactly this sort of thing that forces governments to introduce new, independent oversight measures, to stop the crooks gaming the system to their own advantage, and it's exactly that sort of thing that Trump's hiring people to do away with. Governments can't operate on the honour system, becau...

Indeed. He has a history of screwing things up at a local government level; the whole Hyperloop scam (which was never likely to work) was basically designed to hold up San Francisco investing in a new public transport network so he could sell more Teslas.

So the big orange cretin has appointed the big rich cretin to the Department of Government Efficiency (it spells Doge! Like the meme !), which isn't at all surprising but ought to be terrifying as they're apparently going to finish their job within 18 months of starting. That's the sort of timescale...

Not gonna lie, I was considering at one point saying that Opus sneaks a little nibble on the Book of Exalted Deeds. Stop teaching the impressionable youth things! --- Opus is going to be pretty despondent after that last scry. Struggling to really process the news, he'll make several trips back to t...

It's something of a recurring trend in Western politics at the moment, it's happening all over Europe too. People are unhappy, so they're voting for change, regardless of the bigger picture. It was always going to be easier for Trump to sell this than Biden / Harris because all he's done is incite a...
