everything is so stupid

FH6 map after about 5 hours. A map full of map markers, no spaces to just breathe, drive and enjoy the experience

PC game compatibility tip (and why sometimes console is just fucking better) - FH6 does now like Afterburner and RTSS so close those and then run the game

This is such vile shit.

Somehow I don’t think the police are going to see their budgets cut to fill any funding holes fortune.com/2026/05/14/m...

With the Destiny news (d2 entering maintenance mode, layoffs coming) starting to see “takes” that EA the giant corp wasn’t the issue all these years but it was actually Bungie & that’s extrapolated to BioWare being the problem and why Anthem sucked. Gamers love their simplistic B&W world views

Good article. The Redditor’s experience in this article is a lot of what is wrong with geekdom. www.comicsbeat.com/keep-gatekee...

This is how you get users to move go Jellyfin and Emby. I got a lifetime pass ages ago during their annual sale and I’m looking at Jellyfin now

Five years of this bullshit. Five fucking years. I am going to murder someone if I have to deal with auditors another year

Can’t wait for the big brains at Eskom to copy this! www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Imagine if during the whole state capture era, instead of corrupt tenders & outright fraud JZ just sued his government and then ordered them to settle the suit to create the slush funds for him van his allies to access.

Next on my playlist, but coincidentally I’ve been thinking about something similar borne from my need for more HDDs, but being unable to afford them. What do we lose when online news sites & archiving projects lose data because of failing HDDs they can’t replace? www.404media.co/podcast-the-...

I've heard people say that Sony never lowers prices anymore, but its stock price is currently down 12% year to date.

Video is flabbergasting. London cleaned up their toxic waste industrial areas (though have questions as to where that stuff ended up) while in the US lawsuits led to awards against companies and then… nothing. youtu.be/307RZ3stxNg?...

What a front page!

Last night was a bit chilly so doggo spent the night like this.

This is in Oz but we’d be naive at best to believe our big supermarkets and retailers don’t engage in similar practices. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Certainly at risk of doing so. Already seen sales slowdowns across both XBS and PS5 following price increases, and Nintendo has signaled it expects the same for Switch 2 this fall. I imagine the June hardware results will shock a lot of people. Shrug. www.gamespot.com/articles/gam...

It's not some grand conspiracy. Demand for physical media decreased and favored, thin and light computers with no room for an optical drive. Demand for removable storage on phones decreased and favored thin, light, waterproof phones with large built-in storage capacity.

Goddamn the weather has turned all of a sudden

FH5 you drive all over Mexican cultural monuments. But no, let’s be precious about Japan because of some weirdo white guys who think it’s their sacred duty to protect Japan’s honour. WTF kotaku.com/forza-horizo...

Congrats to Celtic and especially their supporters

Watching New Girl for the first time and Schmidt’s obsession with Kanye has not aged well

I'm posting this because I firmly believe that in the West, we've become so desensitized to Israeli violence against people that somehow, this might be more shocking to folks.

This morning news I watched Israelis bludgeon a Palestinian's dog, the girl increasingly struggling to stand as each blow lands, unable to escape, until she collapses to more blows. Every morning, medics murdered, kids sniped, pets maimed, people raped, families massacred. It's what Israel does.

Played about 3 hours of Stellar Blade. Good combat, nonsense story. But playing this game makes me feel a little bit dirty with the costumes and all. And it’s toned down iirc

I need like a wiki database of how to do this with every car, if possible. arkadiyt.com/2026/05/13/r...

Kickstarter & Stripe choose this hill, but the scams rife on KS are just fine. www.comicsbeat.com/kickstarter-...

Speaking with a friend on the (accounting) job hunt & he’s getting asked more and more about AI implementation in finance departments. I just don’t see its use even as a tool to automate routine work that can’t need done by a robot. This reinforces that view www.404media.co/software-dev...

The only discourse on Mixtape that's interesting is seeing how asymmetrical the conflict between press & influencers plays out - many influencers individually take shots at "the press" for clickbait & to solidify their own commercial relevance - while the press writes critique about the actual game.

New Zealand are you guys ok, because a serious head injury can be the only reason this is proceeding through the legislative process.

Every city should have a weekly car-free day (and go beyond that eventually). Here's a video from the car-free day in Jakarta, Indonesia. People can walk on the streets, cycle, take part in races / exercise classes, buy from street vendors etc. Public transport still runs.

"Newly revealed documents reveal that MI5 taught Brazilian secret police the techniques deployed by the 1964-85 military dictatorship in horrific prisons like Rio de Janeiro’s House of Death." Is there something horrific that the British weren't involved in?

Firing the people isn't good enough, these services needs to be structurally unavailable to genocidal Israel's government and any dual-use companies, and any military contractors. A win nevertheless. Let's keep making Israel a liability for any company. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Are they wrong?

Good article on how a dry report on earnings can lean into a preferred narrative. One thing I’d add is that this impairment from an accounting/finance POV indicates that Sony got the valuation so wrong that they overpaid & are now recognising that fact. aftermath.site/bungie-marat...

Anyone check betting sites yet?

Isn’t the whole point of living in The City That Never Sleeps to enjoy the fact that It never sleeps?

Fark it’s Sunday evening again

Played about 1/3 of Mixtape. Hits all the 90s kid nostalgia traps. At least for anyone who lived that suburban life or like the rest of us saw those 80s/90s kid/teen movies and imagined all US kids had the same idyllic life. Nice game, awesome soundtrack.

US mainstream media now catching up to what is happening in Asia (and will happen in the US). Prices of fuel and fertilizer are pushing farmers to make irreversible cuts as they enter key planting seasons, and everyone knows who is to blame. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

Don’t know what your talking about 🤔

Watched MK2 & Kano steals the show once again. But I have to ask wtf must almost every fight scene be in a poorly lit arena. Only two where you could see what’s going on was Kung Lao vs Liu Kang and Johnny Cage vs Baraka. Rest were damn dark

At one point in the video an interviewee speaking about Indian outsourced workers says that the wage is about $160/month. Stealing once more from the global south. youtu.be/7MVfAVnUF9Y?...

"It's too early for the PS6" Uh, you better buy that PS6 on day 1 so you're not paying $500 extra 1 year later.

The US elite, as a result of the hyper financialization of the economy leading to unheard of wealth concentration, are living in their own protected bubble and completely out of touch with the real world.

Nintendo annual results out so time to announce price hikes. Ouch www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/re...

Elephant in the room is an increased write down for Bungie. Sony recorded an impairment loss against Bungie last year for $204m. This quarter it has recorded another $565 million. You can work out what that says about Destiny 2 and Marathon.
