The 2016 Jason Borne file sure is... middling, huh

Except that it was good, actually

The first Pixelcast for 2026 is here! Join @pretendbeard.bsky.social and @robcap.bsky.social as they look at the games of 2025 that earned their love and adoration. www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-...

T'was a year of much travel

Here be one that I absolutely wish hadn't slipped beneath my (and apparently everyone else's) radar

“There is a temptation, in moments like this, to believe that safety comes from control. But antisemitism has never been defeated by widening the circle of suspicion.”

Want to make a submission into the inquiry on the "Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill that was released yesterday? You got till 4pm Thursday (ie TOMORROW) That is quite disgraceful www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentar...

That no criminal conviction nor procedural fairness is required for the minister to desginate a hate group as such will invariably lead to the criminialisation of peaceful activism and protest groups. If you don't think Labor would do this, then imagine the Coalition salivating at the prospect.

I always knew that drop bears were actually real

The colour of the head on this beer, maaaaan

Started playing Saints Row 4 in Switxh 2 since it went cheaper than chips over the break, and... the reflected lighting is kind of insane? No screen space restrictions! How is this even happening?

Wake up babe, new NiGHTS lore just dropped.

I feel a need to report to a surprising number of ppl that I am now leaving Australia having failed, once again, to eat anything from Red Rooster

We've removed the paywall from this guide so everyone can access it. 👇 Stay safe.

the obama admin expanded ICE, the biden admin expanded ICE. not sure just voting blue is helping

I don't like that the trains are still late, but I do appreciate this little upgrade

Going in hard on trying to feel 16 again...

If anyone wants to PM me, I can either get back to you in a cpl of days when I'm out of the country, or you can hit up my fb (if we're connected) or email (just my username at gmail)

Leaning hard into one tht wasn't popular. The actual core plot brought it to a place where the rules of physical space didn't really matter and pure cinematic expression could run rampant. Low budget? Sure; but it would be crazy expensive to replicate in live action.

Steph Curry Finally Finishes Eating Mouthguard

this is how every outlet should refer to X

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

MICHIGAN: Police arrest protestor of Trump’s attack on Venezuela while she’s live on air 🤔🇺🇸

This guy here is dead 👇

"Stop. Shooting. Threes!" - me, repeatedly, exasperatedly throughout the 4th quarter of a game that Sydney likely would have won had the players stopped. Freaking. Trying. To. Shoot. Threes.

Not quite the same dazzle, but gotta say that this is waaaaaaaaay more affordable than MSG

it is your DUTY as a parent to be basic and cringe. if your child says "6-7" and you do not say, loud enough for their friends to hear, "8-9?", causing profound silence and intense discomfort, you are neglecting your responsibilities. being cool is for kids. your days of being laughed WITH are over

You know what, I'm going to do that whole thread of games I finished this year, if only for personal interest. Starting with what was probably 2025's disappointment of the year -_-

"I was separated from you and couldn't help when you fought Ganondorf, but now I'm back and we stand together against the final boss!" "Great! Got any advice for me?" "No, lmao"

Say what you will of the game, but the Ultima 9 box was glorious

Superiour Mario Kart included...

A power-mad narcissist. And all the sycophants just enable him & make it even worse. & with nobody in the #USA congress (or the #UN) doing anything to stop him, he will just keep on going.

At least last time, we could ateast sorta-kinda blame it on having the Lobs in power

Additional: this game is gleefully obtuse. Man, turn-of-the-century stuff did not give a single fuck about yellow paint

Frontrunner for strangest find. A packet of chips signed by Goku

It is wild how many PS1 games there are that I have no recollection of ever having existed

Fount a wip article tucked away in... a magazine other than what it was written for

*pssst* @dylanburns.bsky.social

Wildgoose being perhaps the only correct person about 2010

Mildly obsessed with how much this L.A. Noire pic looks like a painted still from an early CD Rom PC game

🤷🏻‍♂️

@seamusbyrne.me Look at that handsome, ting face!

Finding and putting all the childhood pieces together

Ooooof. Mechanically speaking, Souls Reaver has not aged well at all

In the sweet spot between holidays where I can get a packet of the slightly fancier fruit mince pies and two packets of hot cross buns for $4.25

Just digging through some old issues of a kids videogame magazine
