Reminder that I’m performing in Manchester this Sunday! Check out pinfallwrestling.com for show details.

Replaying Devil May Cry V and damn what a beautifully ridiculous game. The combat’s made out of pure joy.

Sometimes I remember there are stand-up comedians who refer to non-comics as “civilians” and it tends to be the funniest thing I’ve ever heard them say.

@tronknotts.bsky.social hear me out… bsky.app/profile/bloc...

The headline is *true* insofar as many industry executives were salivating at a new precedent of $100, but $80 is still garbage. I’m not falling for the old trick of “float a super shitty proposition to make regular shitty look better.” Shitty is shitty.

People complaining about Starmer’s fate being “unfair” have me reaching for a microscopic violin. It wasn’t fair of him to pursue disability cuts, or oversee a viciously transphobic regime, or reward Mandelson, or reward racist rhetoric, or reward genocide. Getting to see him cry *was* fair.

Tried the @furyball.bsky.social demo and really liked it. It’s a hell of a lot of smacking a ball into people’s faces and it’s very pleasant to so. There’s a tactile impact to the smackery that makes every hit feel terrific.

People think healthcare’s all universal answers. Sometimes my back requires a cane but if I use it too much, the muscles get weak and the pain worsens. Sometimes walking through the pain helps. An “either/or” approach just doesn’t work. But mine is just one case of countless unique cases.

Pin Keep’s demo is very promising. Love the pinball/roguelite/tower defense combination. It’s a little rough - I lost a run when the ball got embedded in the scenery - but it’s fun and the kind of thing I want as a pinball fan. I’m hopeful for the final game.

Describing transition as “a long-term life on medication” is utterly pathetic. I take my hormones along with my bipolar and ADHD meds… y’know, my *other* long-term medications. It’s literally just putting pills in my mouth, not some hardship that’s uprooted my fucking lifestyle.

We have none that the establishment won’t utterly sabotage. Labour will happily destroy its own chances in an election than suffer a leader who isn’t a neoliberal slimepipe.

Thomas the Tank Engine: Wonders of Sodor softlocked two minutes into the tutorial. This is not one of my better impulse purchases.

AI might be costing you your jobs but at least it’s made everything less affordable.

I really wish Keir Starmer had started holding his stomach during his speech and then said “oh no, oh no I’m going to shit” and then his ass gurgles and burps while he clutches the podium until his knuckles turn white and everyone can tell he’s started to shit and he says “no… no.”

The Queer Harmer’s resigning is he? Good. The fucking twat.

Even with ally chatter reduced via settings, The Adventures of Elliot’s fairy companion will not shut the *fuck* up. Between the frequency and the obnoxiousness of her grating voice, the English VA version is fucking unbearable.

I learned early on in my transition that descending the stairs without precautions was a first class ticket to Stings Like A Bitch City.

It’s easily my boobingest until I take one even boobier.

I’m pretty sure I could start and lose a war for no fucking reason whatsoever, can I be president next?

I reviewed Slots & Daggers, a super cute roguelite that fuels its turn-based fights with a slot machine. It's pretty great! Read here: www.thejimquisition.com/post/slots-d...

Highly relevant to my interests, this.

Oh my word, I hadn’t noticed they put Gitaroo Man up on PS4/PS5 this week! One of my all-time most beloved games. No rhythm game ever did it for me the way this one did. No other was bold enough to give us Mojo King Bee.

No matter what you try and teach a Hollywood executive, it will always come away with the most facile and least useful interpretation mortally possible. It’s embarrassing. There are literal children who could have a more nuanced take than “film give money when Internet give spooky.”

Yeah, “AI training” is a scam, because everything’s a scam with these fucking monsters. Despite what they may promise, it’s a job with extremely low pay that companies will try to lower further if they think you’re vulnerable. The workload and stress is obscene too. It’s pure financial predation.

Are you fucking kidding me? I want to laugh, but I know these fuckers are banking on AI seizing all the writing jobs so real writers are desperate enough to work for peanuts and let an AI platform steal the credit. It’s just dark and perverse. Luckily I work for people who still *value* writers.

Microsoft, Tencent, and their contemporaries cannot be forgiven for the way they vandalized and ransacked the game industry. Too many good studios have been stolen from the world by the companies that consumed them. Hell, *one* was too many. They burgled the house and then set fire to it.

I know world events are already so bleak and I hate to contribute to the misery of anybody doomscrolling, but as if things couldn’t get bad enough, somehow Palpatine returned.

Yet more evidence that Microsoft’s intrusion into the videogame industry has been a net loss for the medium. Consume, carve, kill. That’s all this malignant company does.

The UK banning people under 16 from social media is going to have consequences that shouldn’t be unforeseen. The idea may feel sensible in a kneejerk fashion, but I really worry about isolating vulnerable kids. Abuse victims in particular might have an outside support network coldly cut off.

I propose we rename the deep sea to Soggy Hell. Everything that’s found down there is some kind of wet demon.

That’s an incredibly naive argument. There are already legislators who want to excuse tech companies from copyright laws while the rest of us still have to abide by them. This isn’t a rising tide situation. It’s explicitly a “rules for me, not for thee” deal.

If you’re pro-AI and not part of the corporate elite, you need to ask yourself a question: What makes you think you’re safe? Tech CEOs want to destroy *all* our jobs, not just the people currently suffering. You’re not a special little exception, you’re food like everyone else.

I love Hellraiser III so much.

It’s beneath contempt at this point. The desperation to stay outraged even when fascism’s on top speaks to how little else they have to offer the world. This is it. This is as far as their “talent” extends. There’ll be nothing for them to fall back on when the outrage mine’s been fully stripped.

Google’s AI search is a revolution in one way - it redraws the boundaries of theft. Given how valuable web traffic is, a search engine designed to lift information from sites wholesale while actively depriving them of views is burglary of the Internet. I genuinely don’t think it should be legal.

How embarrassing. Another CEO who’s bought a safe space where he can bask in pretend love because he’s so fucking unlikable in real life.

I reviewed 007: First Light! A delightful spy thriller with a very relevant story, it's an impressive spy romp from a studio that's perfect for the job. Read here: www.thejimquisition.com/post/007-fir...

I can’t get over all these free speech warriors who spent years screaming at me about censorship now being too afraid to even say “ass” in a YouTube video. They capitulated without so much as a *performative* protest, unquestioningly abandoning their supposed values for ad revenue peanuts.

Estrogen for breakfast yum yum yum.

Platner is everything the Democrats have been hoping for and I do not mean that as compliment for either of them.

2000s capitalist propaganda: we’re job creators and we’re supplying what you demand. 2020s capitalist propaganda: we’re supplying the thing that’s destroying your jobs and we demand that you demand it.

Whatever one thinks of the prequels, the Battle Droids were the best goofy boys. They rogered all of the rogers.

Your glorious Commander is back in Manchester with Pinfall Pro on June 28th! Come watch me doing a wrestlings if you want! Details at Pinfallwrestling.com

If you’re a Labour MP or Democrat who still thinks courting the right will get you votes, you’re not smart enough to govern a damn thing.

Where is the TERF Bathroom Bill? Where is the legislation to ban the ones who actually assault and grope women in public bathrooms? I’ll never stop pointing out that they’re banning us because they’ve merely imagined us doing the things *they* do. All while funded by literal nonces.
