So, the usuals peddling this is the press forcing this game into your Steam library is genuinely just trying to retain their relevance - they need an enemy, the enemy always needs to "feel bigger", as they need to be able to claim victimhood if someone fires back in kind. It's all content to them.

I think it's pretty much worth judging a game by two rubrics: does it hit its own targets, and does it manage to make the player part of the experience successfully. Mixtape does both, it delivers the premise with appropriate gusto and it lands the over-elevated vibes of nostalgic teenage memories.

i must not die. death is the me killer. death is the big death that brings actual obliteration. i avoid my death. i don't want it to come anywhere near me. when it has gone past, i will say "phew". for where death has gone, there will be nothing, only a skeleton will remain.

Listening to the radio more regularly has really helped me find some incredible music more regularly. For instance www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYHW...

Gonna make a game where everyone wears grungy clothes and listens to loud, simple distorted-guitar-led music, and doesn't care for the establishment, and call the aesthetic "punkpunk"

The Hoonter Virus? No thanks, I don't care for Bloodborne.

When you say "It's okay for me to do bad things because people were bad to me," you are, in fact, saying "I am a bad person," which means you are openly accepting that people can now, without any problem, treat you like you are a bad person. That's what you invite when you do bad things.

Oh hell yeah BioForge

Slightly increase a band ONEFFECT

Labour MPs calling for an orderly transition but unfortunately their government needs to be at least 18 years old with four doctors to sign off first

Oh hey, just checked and they've even skimmed our TLJ content.

Feel like there's a school of media criticism that wants everything to be a parable: every story has to have a good, clear moral message where you know who the author thinks of as the Goodies and Baddies, and every character taken as a 2D stereotypical representation of a whole group. And it sucks.

Ah, looks like the Totally Legit botnet has been hacking more accounts

The Derelict (William Hope Hodgson, 1912)

Seconding this. The other day I had someone arguing in my mentions that ALL media in which police are portrayed as anything other than mustache-twirling villains is copaganda to be stamped out. That includes Robocop and Columbo. Some of y'all need to learn how to consume media without choking.

As someone struggling to motivate myself to make art, it really sucks knowing there's any chance something I make could end up in front of people like the quoted here.

The CEO of the studio making Lords of Fallen 2 (Dark Soulless) everyone. The same guy who guzzles Grummz’s chode and panders to chud gamers every time he posts. Don’t buy this shithead’s game.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmyup

uk politics is like a magic eye puzzle. if youre in any way close to it, its just indecipherable shapes and colours. but if youre a good distance from it and only slightly looking at it everything is so clear and obvious that you instantly develop a brain destroying cassandra complex.

Well looking at the results coming in so far, and the BBC must be bouncing.

It is almost time! It simultaneously feels like an ETERNITY has passed and also no time at all since we began this project. It’s been a ride and I can’t wait for people to see what we’ve managed to make with this team. No need for a manicure in the coming weeks! (may also have to cancel pedicure)

Completely agree. Bungie understand that the dynamism, the variation, the *stories* come from minute-to-minute encounters that take place during a run. The tension, the explosions, the victories, and the losses. The series of biffed runs, and the one big win to cap off the night. Game's a banger.

Damn, I can't believe Captain Planet died

Before I click through, i'm betting this is the piss episode.

This is an incredible advert for all the most basic ways that gen-AI is trash. The inconsistencies between every cut. The awkward pauses. The inability to get basic text on a screen correct. Comically bizarre framing. The way her accent changes when talking to a British woman. Astonishing.

And guess which leader they're all calling antisemitic.

Genuinely don't get why everyone's suddenly decided they hate Chris Nolan, but sure, I guess

Pretty sure these are the Vandal's shoes from Marathon

Hm, but what if I want to play a video game and not a SEO list

You know, I've got to imagine deleting a 15gb file feels SO good when you're a SSD.

Ah I see we reached "threats and harassment are bad EXCEPT when *our* mob does it" last night. Cool, cool. Never change.

This makes me angry in so many directions, most of which are intended. The exception being memories of having to study the poem in school. I did not like the poem. Mate it's just a tiger

"Remake a film with muppets and one human" Okay.
