What's My JND? 0.0028 Can you beat it? www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd... #WhatsMyJND First attempt, with the sRGB clamp on my monitor. Failed three, 30, 31, and 38. Going to try again with calibrated P3

13/25 on the predictions, first half was much stronger than the second. I was 5/6 at one point, lol. I thought they might split director/film, and I thought they might go best supporting for sinners rather than best actor. Also thought F1 would get VFX rather than sound. #Oscars

A TIE?! #Oscars

Best week of House of Games ever, absolutely loved that. Love it when it's a music heavy week, love audio smash, and every single one of my favourite rounds was on. Not to mention the actual scores! Absolutely fantastic

As an avid dark mode lover, the worst thing about dark mode is that every single website, application, and system uses a *slightly* different shade of blue.

Was looking through www.tylervigen.com/spurious-cor... as I do every so often, and honestly I don't even think this one about @techconnectify.bsky.social is spurious in the slightest.

To all of you @thehornesection.bsky.social enjoyers, you're in for an absolute TREAT when the new podcast eps are out. Absolutely joyous evening, so much so we nearly missed the last train and had to sprint. Shoutouts to the best band in the world, ABBA!

Holy shit I just saw who the UK eurovision entry is, absolutely *insane*. Amazing amazing amazing. I feel like if anyone would know @josierustle.bsky.social might, is he the first act to own a museum?

I've just had the realisation that the Kickstarter for Pillars of Eternity was closer to the release of Baldur's Gate than it is to the present day. There was a 10 year gap between Icewind Dale II and the PoE kickstarter. It has been 11 years since PoE was released. Fuck I miss RTwP

Well that new @adamneely.bsky.social video was just a little bit horrifying, lol. It's not anything I didn't already know, but having it all condensed really amplifies the horrors. It's sad, as a producer rather than a performer, to think that I had found my niche for it to then be destroyed.

Incredible minute cryptic today, holy moly

Oh wow, @shadowtodd.bsky.social batting for pre-brat charli in the best list is pretty wild. So much good older stuff from her to doscover, even earlier than hifn with Pop 2 and Vroom Vroom. I still wonder if Track 10 will truly have its moment. It's possibly my favourite song *period*.

god papaoutai really is a bop isn't it

Trying to learn how to do cryptic clues because it's one of those things I never learned how to do and it was getting on my nerves. Still need hints for indicators, but starting to get the hang of it now. Did attempt to write my own though; "Crossing paths amongst box for dead clowns" (6,6)

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on air force one has figured out we are not going to the right place

This is a big long thread, holy *moly*

I just spent two days putting a comprehensive guide to basic tools and paints for painting Warhammer for a friend Translation: I just spent two days putting together a comprehensive explanation on why my friend shall no longer have any money No money, only plastic skeletons

Quest cape on the Iron! Did Mourning's End Part II, Song of the Elves Library, and the entirety of Desert Treasure II completely blind. Vardorvis - 6 Leviathan - 17 Duke - 4 Whisperer - 5 If you're wondering why Leviathan took me 17 attempts, thats because I didn't figure out the stun mechanic lol

Why is the word often being replaced by oftentimes? Most language evolution I understand, but this one makes *no sense*. Often is less syllables, and there are absolutely no situations where you can't just use the word often by itself.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HORSES! IT IS HORSE BIRTHDAY! HORSE!!!!!

I've been awake since last year!

Our podcast is coming back! This time, we’ll be joined by some VERY SPECIAL GUESTS and it’ll be recorded LIVE at the Leicester Square Theatre! Tickets are available exclusively via our mailing list. There aren’t loads left, so sign up quickly - www.thehornesection.com/mailing-list

In May, Twitch deleted 100K speedruns among millions of other videos. With the help of ArchiveTeam and @archive.org we saved these speedruns and 500K+ other popular Twitch videos. My search tool for viewing these archives is now live! archive.speedrun.club

Oh also, announcements; - Unironically excited for another TR1 remake, lol. Hopefully the new game is a puzzle platformer too, I hate shooter TR. - Holy shit Total Warhammer 40k is actually real - Excited for Jon Blow's new game, though I wish he'd stop tweeting - New Control game looks sweet too!

ok hot takes time; - Clair Obscur is a great game, but it's getting incredibly overrated at this point - It would've been a nice surprise Game of the Year underdog win, but it's been a bit overblown now imo - When you strip away the visuals, the core combat system is the same as Paper Mario TTYD lol

thank god it's over, I can get back to my regular depression instead of geoff's spicy depression

ok unironicaly I want that double keytar, wow

man do I even like video games anymore

my hot take is that the combat in clair obscur is the same as paper mario the thousand year door

I hope Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig keep making Benoit Blanc films as long as they possibly can, god do I love them so much

Having a comment I wrote be referenced in this NakeyJakey video was absolutely not something I was expecting to see today, lol. I'm proud of that comment, glad it resonates with others too! youtu.be/snNIZGuo92c?...

i have a genuine soft spot for the now you see me films, they're incredibly dumb and camp but they sort of just own it

huh, vine is back at it again at krispy kreme

is there anything nicer than sitting in a warm room with rain lashing on the window playing a medieval themed clicking game from 2001

wait holy shit how have I not heard Bonnet of Pins until just now? Jesus, this is some of the best stuff Matt has done in *years*

Seriously though, how can someone write and produce this song and then go and make something as godawful as flipping Heatwaves? I just don't understand him at all, just absolutely incredible production top to bottom and then everything hes touched since I've absolutely hated lol youtu.be/HQYC2EfzZZw

listening to florence's new album

to quote @adamchase.bsky.social best city in the world baybeeee

holy fuck

There is something truly incredible about @bengoldsborough.bsky.social namedropping Barb and the Kaizo community in Hansard for all eternity, amazing. Truly glad that someone who truly gets it was able to speak on this hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2025...

a house in my street has some new halloween decorations they're fucking fully functional actually articulated animatronics, what in the love of fuck how the fuck are animatronics just garden decorations now

I love crab 🦀

I have lots of opinions on Taylor's new album but the prevailing one is that Ophelia fundamentally doesn't understand how to use a 5 bar phrase song structure to amplify energy and results in the song repeatedly crashing into a wall and losing all of it's momentum. It's so incredibly *sluggish*.

genuinely have always misread "90 day fiance" as "90 day finance" and thought it was a show about people getting their crippling debt sorted out over the course of a few months

Decided to replay Mirror's Edge Catalyst for the third time too. It's fascinating, there's a good game hiding in there somewhere. You have garbage like the fight arena section but then the odd moment of great platforming. Plays best beelining the main story, imo, it suffers with the open world.

Just replayed Mirrors Edge for the billionth time. God do I love this game. Play it every few years, it's short enough that you can easily just do it in a single sitting like a good movie. Took me 3h 30m, 30 of which were that stupid boat room with the 5 guys and the incredibly slow hatch door

Uh oh Vodafone did 27k bgp announcements immediately before the massive outage, and their announced address space went from 2.5m to 655k radar.cloudflare.com/routing/as53...

Just learned that my dad is top of a global leaderboard for a random puzzle game with *four times* the points of second place

action/platformer speedruns: yea we have to do 100 frame perfect tricks to clip through all these sections and it's all skill based and precise practice and speed old jrpg speedruns: WE HAVE TO TORTURE THE GAME BY RIPPING ITS SOUL OUT AND REPLACING IT WITH DR MARIO TO FORCE IT TO DO OUR BIDDING

I just had an apple from my apple tree and holy moly it was absolutely perfect Crisp, a little but not too sweet, slight bit of sharpness, little bit of astringency Just delicious
