Really enjoyed the first episode of Star City, getting some 'Chernobyl' into my 'For All Mankind'. Very interested to see where this goes. I mean I know where it goes, but excited to see how we get there.

Oh damn! Great lineup so far!

As Jabba the Hutt's son I'm often gatekept from progressive spaces due to preconceived notions about my family. At the same time, I acknowledge the reasonable concerns my presence would raise, and I'm working every day to unlearn the harmful attitudes instilled in me on my father's pleasure barge.

Had a lot of fun watching The Mandalorian movie. Like a three-parter of episodes rather than an 'event movie' but it suffers from the high standards of is Cinematic forebears and being a bit of a tired, one-note character now. Would recommend if you enjoyed Season 1 and 2 or jacked Hutts.

Have been going through some Hugo Award-winning books on my morning commute of late: Neuromancer Some Desperate Glory The Man in the High Castle Starship Troopers

Who would have thought Helen of Troy would be the cause of such conflict?

Prophetic.

the only video worth rescuing from my deleted twtter

Unreal Engine SIX?!?! Christ, why bother? just add another decimal onto 5.

Rounding off the day watching Colbert doing access cable. So good.

Man, how good is Mixtape. Great music, great acting and writing, beautiful presentation with endearing editing and gameplay. A triumph in narrative gameplay that I hope gets the recognition it deserves.

Spent all day listening to Halo music. Now I feel like I want to make a game set in the Halo universe. ODST was so cool, there's real potential for other heroes to emerge. If Chief is Captain America, that universe could support its Iron Man, Thor, or Black Widow.

Listening to the Halo soundtracks are such a wonderful 2000s experience. You're listening to some bitchin piano and choral themes that gets you pumped and the next song is by 'Hoobastank'.

Solid start from Denmark.

The new trailer for 'The Ghost in the Shell' looks dope, can't wait to see this adaptation of the Manga.

Watched the final two Maul: Shadow Lord episodes curled up in bed after a long day. Started lying down and a little snoozy but by the end found myself sat bolt upright leaning in, unable to look away. A thrilling, high-octane, and stakes-filled sequence from start to finish. Roll on Season 2.

anyone on here play Halo: Flashpoint? The models look fun to paint but I dunno about the game itself

Whilst it still cuts deep that Disney made this call so quickly, I'm pleased at least that given space to simply _exist_ the show is doing well. If anything, I hope it's an example to future 'experiments' to simply stand back and let it find its audience.

Commute Ebike broke on Wednesday and have spent the last 72 hours researching a replacement where I'm now too deep in and I fear no bike will ever be good enough and actually maybe I do need something to cycle across Mongolia on?

Finished watching Gundam GQuuuuuuX. Really good fun, I loved the alt-history take on the original story, didn't overstay its welcome and wrapped pretty well in the end (Some nonsense schemes and technobabble notwithstanding). Annoyingly my local Gunpla store has sold out of all the models (sulk).

I noticed I was aging out my coworkers when they started using sentences like "that is so aesthetic" and that things are "mood" and everything was "a vibe". Since I don't know what any of that means without additional words I give them a nice thumbs-up, which is also, I hear, deeply problematic.

I feel I'm getting the full SNL experience following the UK's attempt at the same format. Last week's show was dreadful and this week's was A+.

Staying up in bed to watch the Splashdown. What a view. Godspeed, Integrity. Get back safe and sound.

Absolutely gorgeous. Less than six minutes 'til re-entry.

Incredible numbers! On paper the idea of building an endgame around ruthless PvP provides cheap, endless content. In truth it all but killed the game, as the PvE audience got an experience contrary to the previous 60 hrs. Very useful case study for designers.

Just remembered Metacritic existed. Time was it was the only metric that mattered. A studio could collapse over that aggrogate, and now I had to ask someone what the name of the site even was. How times change.

For sale: Batman #497, broken spine.

Quite fancy playing EA/Starbreeze's Syndicate shooter. I guess it's just impossible without piracy, though.

Did anyone ever go into the Criterion Closet and select like Terminator 2, Return of the Jedi, Flight of the Navigator, and The Karate Kid, or something?

Godspeed, Integrity! What a great launch! A perfect day for it!

Very excited for the Artemis program to finally get to this point. Cant wait for tonight's launch.

Give me Tom Bombadil or give me DEATH!

Disappointed to hear about Starfleet Academy. Like The Acolyte, it felt like the conversation against it had already snowballed into consensus before the show had even begun. I'm glad it'll get a second season but it deserved better. This could be symptomatic of a new, conservative era at Paramount

Hail Mary was great. As a huge fan of the book I've been foisting it on friends for 4 years, so I'm glad the movie did it justice. Go see!

DLSS 5 OFF // DLSS 5 ON

DLSS5 Off/On

I just think they're neat.

This is what gaming is all about

The trailer for Mando+ looks actually good fun. I'm tired of Grogu's shit and the marketing campaign so far has seemed like more of that. Trailer looks solid though, so despite the branding, I'm down for the adventure.

I don't have a PlayStation 5 and probably wont get one anytime soon, but I stil enjoy seeing what they are coming out with as that stuff trickles out to Steam eventually now, which is great. I don't need timed exclusives for the shit I'm into anymore. Anyway, Looking forward to Death Stranding 2

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Kind of gives away the whole game that all the crypto ads this year have been replaced with gambling and AI ads.

Now you eventually do plan to have football in this football game, right?

Some context from that Lays ad. People are very stupid and don’t realize that potato chips are literally made out of potatoes. That’s why they were parading around a potato in that ad like it’s the fucking Rosetta Stone.

which of our beloved entertainers will capital humiliate tonight by revealing their price tag

Every second ad on the superbowl is some AI shit. Like a few years ago when Larry David was doing Blockchain. It can all get in the bin.
