"I'll remove this before I push it"....

I seem to have game engine constipation: Unreal or Godot? Originally, the game was going to be hyper realistic, so choosing Unreal was a no-brainer. But now it's completely abstract with a Rez/Tetris Effect vibe.

See, look, U.S.A., it's this easy (and should have been done immediately upon the knowledge that these cheats and grifters were STEALING our work)

C'mon guys, this isn't the 1980s - you should be supporting efforts to unionise and nurture a better, more healthy working environment, not shutting them down. youtu.be/c9nOwjeznjI?...

London's latest Blue Plaque is a brilliant one. (It was put up at the Tesla dealership in Tottenham by campaigners)

Delightfully bonkers! youtu.be/2r3X23ZiUfY

Now that Celebrity Traitors has finished, I had a dream about the programme to replace it: Celebrities Surfing Horses! That's right, celebs ride on horseback as they surf and perform tricks.

That's my trial of LinkedIn Premium cancelled. Was just as useless and broken as the free version.

Interesting! Particularly the code-by-blocks editor: unity.com/campaign/uni...

Motorbike parts retailer has a cunning feature. If you don't want the Mrs to know you've bought stuff, they have an option at checkout which changes the receipt email to one that says "Congratulations! You've just won all these things in a prize raffle!". I think every retailer should do this 😃

It's that day where you look at the clock and go "ah, but really it's (hour+1)"....

What utter fear-mongering nonsense. It makes me wonder, if the Guardian can publish such gibberish about a subject I know something about, what clownshoes journalism am I ingesting about subjects I don't? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Anyone else had a popup asking for £2.99/m to view FB without ads?

Brutal.

Lovely sunny day. It's going to rain the rest of the week, so figured today is my last chance to get the grass cut. Return home with some petrol, and it's pissing down. Ah well, back to scrolling.

Seeing a lot of hate for Rider recently, doing a Microsoft and forcing AI and other unwanted features upon each update. Will be returning to Vi at this rate.

I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

Those pesky heifers keep triggering the security lights. I swear they do it on purpose so they can see where they're going.

Finally got the hedge cut! It'd gone a bit feral after being left to grow for 3 years. The view from the front is now considerably improved.

1,500 tons of rotting meat and fish, and nowhere to put it. Eww! enimerosi.com/en/news/1008...

This is what the Internet is for.

Cancelled my ChatGPT subscription. Suddenly come to the realisation that it's just garbage, and cannot be relied upon.

Insane in the membrane.... www.uploadvr.com/playstation-...

Our mate's game is out today! You'll love this if you have any fondness for the classics and/or a sense of humour. You might even spot the odd Llamasoft reference in there! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3039260/Lumo_2/

Contract has been delayed a week. Woohoo! Another week off!

Had a dream the other night that there was a large fire, and the only thing we had to put it out was piles of bags of ice cubes. Today I learned that the frozen foods place in Corfu Town (lots of bags of ice cubes there) has just burned down....

Aren't the new British Rail clocks brilliant!? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

How to get sued by Sega and David :D Best think of a less litigious name....

my new ai device will sit in a beer garden that backs onto a small river and drink three to five pints on a sunny late summer afternoon for you, leaving you free for more meetings and business calls

Thought I'd treat myself, headed over to local cafe. "Chilli chips with sour cream". Yum! Got them home to find chips, sour cream and sweet chilli sauce. Gutted.

For a scary moment I thought they were playing a Christmas tune on the radio. False alarm. Phew!

OMG RUSH TOUR!!!

Survived the storm so far. Lots of debris on the driveway, there's an old dead tree leaning against the garage, but it's not big or sturdy enough to do anything. Turned the garden floodlights on last night - no tree damage but instead four rather bemused bunnies looking back at me.

Unity forced thousands of game devs to break the #1 rule of software publishing: never ship on a Friday.

What the heck is this witchcraft? View/play existing OpenXR content on your phone/tablet, with another phone/tablet acting as a controller. Not sure whether this is genius or just bonkers. xcancel.com/gfodor/statu...

Whenever I finish a contract, project etc I always fall ill. It's like my body's way of forcing me to take a rest. Well I've got news for you body: I was going to take a rest anyway! Now I'm just spending my days blowing my nose.

On National Poetry Day, the greatest poem I have ever read

Just pondering... Xbox is dead: people rushing to cancel their GamePass subscriptions, rumours of their next hardware offering being a handheld. Switch is primarily handheld (I'm guessing): it'll be interesting to learn how often people use it with their TV. [contd]

Is it just me, or are all the world's email spambots configured to deliver at 5pm on a Friday?

"We didn't know what they were up to", said Microsoft of a client using 8,000 terabytes of data. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Weird things just suddenly pop into my head. Like - is Heaven only for Humans? Will we have to live out eternity listening to Vogon poetry? What about fish, dolphins, and whales? Is there a great heavenly fish tank up there?

The games industry never fails to disappoint. Worse than minimum wage, anyone?

With all these super duper telescopes, Hubble etc, and our constant watching of the skies, and not once has anyone spotted a spaceship. ...or have we...?

I've been seeing more and more vertical solar panels around Amsterdam, and it's been great to see. Why have a bare wall, or balcony fence, when it may as well be a solar panel? Multi-use is the way!

Naughty Sega. www.timeextension.com/news/2025/09...

Hmm. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Oh yes. All the fun of yesteryear, without some arsehole trying to put you off beating his highscore on Defender by blowing cigarette smoke in your face. www.retroroombelfast.com

Wow. Well done Unity. Impressed.

It seems all iPhone users these days must be film directors or youtube streamers. I just want a phone that doesn't make my trousers fall down when I put it in my pocket. Surely there's a market for a smaller, lightweight device that doesn't have the compute power of a datacentre?
