I just generally assume that Trump is running because he wants to pardon himself for his many, many crimes. What baffles me is why it is not standard across the world for anyone seeking public office to have to take a basic mental competency test. Nothing complicated, just the sort of test that's us...

I still find it hysterical and utterly depressing that these two sentences can appear next to each other. https://i.imgur.com/6iHuJgG.png He's not just a liar, he's a recently convicted liar, and yet that's not seen as a hindrance to running to be the most powerful man in the country. The utter hypo...

I would take cold, I would take heat. I am just utterly fed up with middling temperatures, high winds and rain. https://i.imgur.com/kOqehtn.png I walk 6.5km to work (admittedly more out of choice than necessity; I don't drive but walking's preferable to busses which wouldn't be any quicker anyway), ...

Should probably mention I have a 5120x1440 resolution display as well so that's almost 4k too.

It's usually flawless for me, with the odd area (usually the larger, open ones, but sometimes smaller ones with complex lighting and obvious ray-tracing) where you can see a little slowdown, but never anything I'd describe as choppy. I've had a single game crash in ten hours. For reference this is o...

Star Wars: Jedi Survivor Given how much of a Star Wars nut I am, and how excited I was for this, it's surprising I managed to hold off on it for this long to let them sort the various issues the PC version had (I don't have a current-gen console, so couldn't play it on anything else). It's been lar...

I’m not surprised autocorrect didn’t understand…

Glad it wasn't just me.

To be honest, the fact that Donald didn't take the US out of NATO when he was president is still fairly astonishing considering how little regard he obviously has for the organisation and just how far up Vladimir's arsehole his tongue is.

Obviously I'm not bothered about it being MCU and all of the baggage that entails (I suspect I've got more tolerance for it than most here), I just hope to god they haven't Disney-fied it. I know there's a joke about being the first Disney mention of pegging in the trailer, I just don't want that to...

I was feeling a bit Marvel'd out a few months back, I think I got two episodes into Loki season 2 before just deciding to watch something else instead (not because I didn't like it, there were just things I wanted to watch more) and never went back. I ended up watching a few episodes of Secret Invas...

Did we know this was going to be a full-blown MCU film before now, or have I just not been paying attention? Are they effectively canon-ising all of the Fox films via the TVA?

I never did finish the second season of Loki. Maybe I ought to.

The Marvels Somewhat disagree. I can't really dispute many of your points, but I really enjoyed it. I suspect this says more about my ability to switch my brain off than the quality of the film itself. I think I've just given up on Marvel films being even remotely serious or, well, good, but this j...

I do wonder how it will work with Leclerc though, he needs a killer season this year I reckon to keep his top placing. There is no way in hell Hamilton joined Ferrari without the stipulation that he's either number 1, or the drivers will be treated equally. The latter feels unusual for Ferrari, but...

Oh I at least try things that get recommended to me, regardless of whether I think I'll enjoy them.

For what it's worth*, I really enjoyed it too.

*Ian keeps trying to recommend various metal bands to me and I usually bounce straight off them.
