I kinda want to try Marathon but the combination of the words ‘live service’ and ‘battlepass’ and ‘ingame monetization’ and the LACK of the words ‘free to play’ gives me a serious case of the nahs. It doesn’t pass the Warframe test of value for me.

The head of the biggest AI companies robotics division quitting because she doesn’t agree with the deal being made with the DoD sounds like the news headline being read out during the opening montage of a dystopian sci fi movie.

Pure art.

Climate breakdown is occurring more rapidly with the heating rate almost doubling, according to research that excludes the effect of natural factors behind the latest scorching temperatures. #climatecrisis #auspol www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Why do krispy kreme donuts sweat the next day

Your job is to pick the worst actor to play James Bond.

Newest encounter with enshittification: the Aussie Mymaccas app doesn’t let me use reward points to order a coffee during breakfast menu at Mcdonalds. When you try it says coffee is out of stock at all my nearby stores.

So tired, and so mad, but so tired.

This is outrageous. Especially considering Greenpeace have been consistently right about everything since the start.

Depressed and horrified at the state of the world, somehow more than yesterday, somehow also maybe not as much as tomorrow.

Turning 24 today! 🧙‍♂️ Shares of my art are very much appreciated 🌛

wow who was he up against

Fell asleep on a plane at the start of Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood part 5 episode 8 and woke up at the end to find everything had gone insane so gonna have to rewatch that whole episode now. Can’t believe I waited so long to watch this show.

Experiencing my first ever post surgery infection and holy crap this is not fun at all. Half a star, would not recommend.

We’re absolutely doomed and every day is a step closer to extinction on our current trajectory but I did see a spoonbill the other day so not EVERYthing is bad.

Peak humour

First gym session since my surgery and smashed it, did my full routine. Now if I could just stop shaking.

Horror Film Safety

This is how you live a life

Just got woken up from a vivid and harrowing zombie apocalypse nightmare at 2:30 in goddamn am on a Saturday. Absolutely cursed start to the weekend.

Your favourite hollywood actor: “these are certainly unprecedented times and I feel so scared for people right now”. Your favourite comic book creator: “we should burn ICE to the ground and maybe the government while we’re at it”.

Not sure about others experience but Tiktok is really boring the shit out of me since that sweaty looking weirdo billionaire with the ventriloquist dummy son took over.

This is like an entire psychological horror film.

This is some genuinely psycho shit...

Post a game you remember playing that no one else remembers. I got a deepcut for the OGs. The original PvEvP game. Gory as hell. Many joysticks were broken in multiplayer matches with my brothers on the Amiga 500.

Feeling like I was the right age to be suspicious of the technology when Ring cameras came out and never got one, or any sort of smart device like that for the home. We really need to be teaching kids from an early age to be skeptical of the potential for our gadgets to cause harm behind our backs.

I beat the Nioh 3 demo including the secret princess boss and I’m feeling pretty badass rn. My wife said ‘oh very good’ without looking up from her phone so I may also get lucky tonight.

Goddamn. Fashion Nugget is one of my all time favourite albums. Terrible loss.

It’s my birthday soon and I’ve definitely reached that bitter age where I don’t have favourite celebrities anymore. They just all seem unpleasantly insincere at some point. My only fave is that fat penguin and I still don’t want to meet him in person.

Having a complete existential breakdown over a video game boss I spent way too much time trying to beat today. But the Nioh 3 demo is very fun, except for the boss that has broken my brain and made my wife have to rub my back like a grumpy baby.

I’m actively feeling the siren call of Warhammer 40k I’ve been resisting for decades. But I really want to play Tau and I feel like I’ll get bullied for that.

Even though I seem to spend a large part of my life performing forced updates I honestly can’t remember the last time I updated a piece of software on any device and it made anything noticeably better.

Catching up on season 2 of Andor and my god episode 8. Feel like I’ve been punched in the gut by one of those K-2SO droids.

The Rip was okay, unfortunately I think we’re past the point of the US copaganda genre being viable anymore, especially where cops have to wrestle with moral conundrums. The best part is just seeing Affleck and Damon clearly glowing in their bromance being reignited.

After a whole week on the couch in recovery driving to the shops to buy milk and a crunchie put me in the same mental state as taking a speed boat into Venice.

Todays healing ritual: Dune marathon. I was a little down on Denis’s Dune initially, felt like visually it had too much homage to the brutalist design of Lynch’s version and wanted them to go more wild and opulent. But on rewatch it is a beautiful, stunning series of films.

So Tiktok is buffering like crazy, deleting videos critical of the US DHS, and I’ve noticed a huge uptick in AI videos, notably lots about angels. So Larry Ellison must own it now.

Rewatching Dune and the bagpipe music starts as the Atreides come out to fight.

Here’s a review of Star Wars Outlaws because its on Gamepass and I’m recovering from surgery: very fun game actually, great characters and voice acting, vibrant open world, enjoyable sneaky sneak pew pew loop. Most enjoyable SW game I’ve played in a long while.

Finally saw One Battle After Another and Marty Supreme, and watched Bugonia last weekend, all very good films, but I still haven’t seen anything as good as Sinners this year. That movie has just loomed large over my whole 2025 film experience. It deserves every award.

My variant for Storm: Earths Mightiest Mutant 2 This is very much stylistically in line with the Black Cat cover, hopefully I can turn this into a series of sorts.

Hey if you want one more chance to play for cheap, like basically the only AAA game of the last ten years that I have truly brain-on-fire loved, Control is on sale for $5 until the 27th. store.steampowered.com/app/870780/C... This is the PC version, so if you're playing on gamepad, TURN ON AUTOAIM

Tiktok keeps removing all my funniest comments because they’re cowards

Back in a hospital bed after getting a second appendectomy. Didn’t think people could get two appendectomy’s in six months? Neither did I!

Its been a wild month but somehow the fascist hits keep coming. We’re not at history erasure.

Seriously after catching up on Absolute Superman I think DC should just shift their entire focus to the Absolute universe and Crisis crash everything else and continue from there. These books all feel more right for the current time and place than any of the ongoing DC books.

Just a heads up for any fellow Australians thinking of buying anything from Temple and Webster. Don’t do it. They’re so shit. Just go to Ikea.

Am I crazy or is this cover art just absolutely awful. So much great imagery in this film, and that incredible movie poster (why didn’t they just use that) and then for the 4k we get this so bad it might be AI cover??
