Is that good

Flipping through a semi-recent issue of PCG and man it was amazing to see an article about Blue’s News, in print, in 2025

What have I become? / My sweetest friend

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

This weekend's PC Gamer column is all about Diffusion, a truly spectacular Half-Life total conversion that's been in development for more than a decade. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/10...

All I'm saying is that Valve historically does its announcements on Friday afternoons and they have the opportunity to do the funniest thing tomorrow.

"Activision won't let CoD go away long enough for anyone to miss it. Instead, it feeds off our constant attention and investment and interaction. It's a naked ploy for maximum value extraction that only works when people let themselves be suckers."

It's not just a sinkhole — it's a great tar pit. And it might be our best bet for immortality. Let's dive in

Will continue to bang this drum: this is the system university admins are cramming into every aspect of education. This is the system we are told “isn’t going anywhere” so we all have to adjust to it.

A pervert seems to have passed this way and left one of their hobo signs. "A kind gentleman lives here."

📢 Join us for the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted on Thursday! Soulmask will debut a new gameplay trailer, for its ancient Egypt DLC 'Shifting Sands' which adds more powerful Gods-themed masks and takes us out of the jungle and into the desert with flying ships. #PCGamingShow 📅 Thursday, December 4

The worst thing to happen to academia was the emergence of a nomadic administrative class like the one in corporations who just move from institution to institution setting fires and walking away. Say what you will about the flaws of faculty governance, but at least they believe in the mission.

god made man in the image of god, and so an ai copy of a person is a graven idol of god

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

The conservative cultural project right now is to use the coercive power of the state to do affirmative action for bigots.

Terrible. Just terrible.

For this weekend's PC Gamer column, I went for a walk through Kowloon Walled City (in Minecraft). www.pcgamer.com/games/surviv...

RFK Jr: The cure for sodomy is quite simple: exercise and organic foods. Our conversion camps have a 100% success rate. Hakeem Jeffries: More lies from the ruckus boys. You had to cook the books to get that number.

Suckin on the Demon Core like it's a dang jawbreaker

This #ScanlineSunday is in honor of Rebecca Heinemann: 🕹️ Out of this World, Delphine/Interplay, 1992 🎮 1CHIP SNES via 🟥🟩🟦 📺 Sony BVM-20F1U Éric Chahi’s masterpiece was a breakthrough with it’s cinematic ambitions, and programming genius Burger Becky made those polygons run decently on stock SNES.

The tech industry's smol bean act is so maddening. Gee, all we did is put out products that make frequent errors while telling everyone they're going to lose their jobs to them. How come they don't like that?

Much as how other real life manifestations of '90s fiction like AI and cyberspace have proven dull, unsexy, and unfathomably stupid, I contend that Nuzzi and RFK Jr. are the IRL Carrie and Big.

Go back in time to show 15 year old me Fallout New Vegas NCR Ranger 7in Deluxe Action Figure McFarlane Elite Edition: "NEVER kill yourself. Beautiful things are coming."

I consider it my professional obligation to inflict as much collateral psychic damage on passing web designers as possible.

How the NCR Ranger armor looks in promotional art vs how it looks on my in-game Courier

Opened up discord to text a friend back and had to slap down a full screen popup that said ORBS ARE NOW ON MOBILE what are we even doing

If you ever find yourself back in Anvil, stop by anytime and say hello. Oh, and please say nothing to anyone about our true identities.

just saw the worst gaming ad ive ever seen

“there is a point on the graph where things get Worse, and there you will find Ronald Reagan” stays undefeated

Every man in Chicago weighs either 125 or 250 lbs no matter how tall we are and we are all wearing at least one article of clothing that says “CHICAGO” on it at all times

too much of the economy now is not built around solving a problem or meeting a need

First time doing "The Gamer's Ten" in almost as many years.

Love Dark Souls 2 to bits, especially the Lost Crowns, but the base game might have the worst, most obnoxious and trolling levels From's ever done. Shrine of Amana and Iron Keep are heinous.

Just really love how my main guys look in Elden Ring

After a long sabbatical using Rivers of Blood I've returned to Moonveil as my favorite Elden Ring edgelord katana. With just two talismans (Alexander Shard, Rellana Cameo) and a physick (magic cracked tear), you can make Transient Moonlight do almost double damage (80% boost)

In Outer Worlds 2 the first town has a unique revolver that shoots like a shotgun, and you can fan fire it crazy fast, maybe put a suppressor on it if you're sneaky. Crazy OP, really fun. Great unique weapon design overall in that game.

Not my goofy ass slouching towards Bethlehem to be born 🙈

Dave Chappelle (suddenly getting serious 50 minutes into a special): On November 4th, 2025, Dick Cheney, former Vice President of the United States, my friend, died. He fucking died.

Here it is. The absolute strategy beast that is Europa Universalis 5. My review: www.pcgamer.com/games/strate...

love a rogue with a crazy high strength stat

Designer: all right Mr. Del Toro here’s those Frankenstein’s monster designs, real sexy just like you asked for. Del Toro: (nodding) this is exactly as sexy as I asked for.

Wait, Lisa Vanderpump, you mean the restauranteur? She has a TV show? Fascinating.
