US copaganda has entrenched itself so deeply into broadcast media that you're not even allowed to show fictional police in a fictional city in a negative light variety.com/2022/tv/news...

This is an horrifying display of journalistic suppression and Xi Jinping's desire to spread this model across the globe should absolutely terrify you - www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXFw...

I support English independence and sovereignty from Scotland NI and wales tbh

The ESA doesn't represent a single game developer, it's members are exclusively a handful of large publishers and they don't even poll those members. These opinions they issue are plucked from thin air and in this case, it's an outright lie. www.rockpapershotgun.com/california-b...

Reform are just the skinned corpse of the tories with Nigel Farage's hideous puss plastered on, it's not a new politics, it's the exact same people, they're just saying the fascism out loud now.

The vast majority of English people I know are awesome, very cool people but nothing makes me hate England as an entity more than an election

My Starfox hot take is that it's an arcade game and it blew people away in the 90s because the idea of playing an arcade game in your house was mind blowing, it's never worked since without the novelty. I thought that new one looked really cool though, I hope it proves me wrong.

Once we have our republic you can exercise your vote however you like, until then any vote that isn't for an independence supporting party is a wasted one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uv_...

considering pitching an op ed to a prestigious outlet where I try and convince people Marathon is thematically resonant with Marathon Man but I feel like I should probably play it before trying to assert that and cba

2K have started retroactively adding mandatory 14 day online drm checks to old games, it's tantamount to a criminal seizure of goods they already profited from the sale of. steamcommunity.com/app/368260/d...

I've had this theory recently that instead of trying to eat less processed food, I've decided to try the additive approach and eat more unprocessed food, the idea is that if I'm full of nuts, I won't feel like binging on crisps and it's early days but I actually think I'm naturally just eating less

Chris Morris came up on Limmy's stream so now I'm watching The Day Today again

Something retroactively pissed me off. That prick Charles Windsor said to the Americans "If not for us you'd be speaking French". It didn't make any sense but I try not to pay attention to him.

I played Uncharted 4 when it came to pc and it played like a 6/10 game to me. Every time I see someone say its good I have a mini existential crisis because one of us is an idiot and all the evidence is pointing towards it being me. I just can't fathom why someone would like it.

The whole thing is excellently written and well observed but "Resident Evil 7 + Resident Evil 2 = Resident Evil 9" just blew my Shatner's Bassoon www.jank.cool/resident-evi...

I've been meaning to ask this for ages. Why does no one talk about that creepster Tofu in the Police Station in Resident Evil 9?

You know that whenever a publicly traded company switches to a "relevancy" model of success instead of a revenue based one that they are in full grift mode, this will not end well - www.gamedeveloper.com/business/xbo...

Something Americans don't realise is the British monarchy isn't done with them, it's an entity that thinks in millennia and you can never let your guard down against them. They are and always will be the biggest threat to The Republic.

Every now and then I lament that no one reads these, I have to force myself to remember that no, that's exactly the way I like it. Remember when a default egg would inject their terrible take into your feed because you said something dumb? Never again

this game is gonna be so good

it's a trope that writers often write about writing but I've long had a theory that midnight suns was the first game that's about making a game and I think this corroborates that theory www.rockpapershotgun.com/keeping-team...

In New Zealand you need a license to use a pen

it'd be real nice if Charles Windsor didn't make it back from America. I don't care how, maybe he finds love or the bag of soil he must sleep in every night gets lost by baggage handlers. Maybe god itself plucks the jet from the air like a monty python sketch. Just make it happen, dammit

I have no idea why I would pay £85 for a steam controller when I can get the best controller ever made for £40 - aknes.com/products/8bi...

I was counting on titanium court getting a 90+ in my office fantasy critic but I was betrayed by my beloved pc gamer and now I look like a right doofus in front of all my colleagues

The root cause of why the compiler can't optimise the ai generated code is entropy. A compiler is like a compressor, it burns energy to convert high entropy state into a lower entropy one, primarily via identifying abstractions and removing them. pvs-studio.com/en/blog/post...

We should have never doubted this man

Loved both of the Bastards games, definitely looking forward to this!

I'm always so confused when people remember plot beats in a rockstar game, who's playing those games for the cutscenes?

Reading about dow4 in last months pc gamer and it's got me properly excited for it, they're making all the right noises for sure!

I feel like I'm constantly grappling with a way to say that most maths you think is complicated is actually quite simple but it's incredibly difficult to communicate it. Once you learn it you almost feel like you're cheating because of how simple it is.

Just because Elon Musk is a fascist doesn't mean the Starship is a bad rocket and the SLS is suddenly a good one. Very smart people have built the Starship and the SLS is reusable 1970s technology twisted into a mess that can't be reused by special interest.

there's a lot of smoke and mirrors in neural texture compression papers, they always compare the compression ratios against bitmaps, they never factor in the model size, here's intel bragging about 1ns per pixel decode times, like that's even remotely acceptable - wccftech.com/intel-textur...

This is a malicious way of saying American tax payers only had to pay $27 per head for the post office. With progressive taxation (which has been destoyed by malicious inflation) it'd only be $5.

how much money does the marine corps lose

I watched the noclip documentaries on disco elysium, what a sad old mess. I still think Red Info is the successor studio of merit but I find Robert Kurvitz's soviet white washing quite uncomfortable

There's plenty of time for games to act like a dead medium when it actually dies, I don't think we should be trying to hurry that along. www.jank.cool/i-wish-video...

One of the things I love about the site is that every single one of those articles were written to be actually read. By human beings.

This is my new stinker or goat rating system for the last 10 games I played - Silent Hill f 🐐 Wilmot Works It Out 🐐 Doom The Dark Ages 🐐 Many Nights a Whisper 🐐 Final Fantasy Remake 🦨 Final Fantasy Rebirth 🦨 Routine 🐐 Resident Evil 9 🐐 Cairn 🐐 Atomfall 🐐

I've played a lot of games recently that got 8s and 9s that were absolute dog shit and quite a few that got 7s that were some of the best games of the decade.

I thought I just didn't like battle royals or extraction shooters but this is exactly why I don't play multiplayer games any more www.jank.cool/what-are-you...

sometimes lost in the very worthy scots gaelic revival is that the picts probably didn’t speak it and current scots is probably the closest language that comes from the ground we live on. wish we didn’t treat Scots like a less poetic language, it was beaten out of us just the same

I don't agree with this at all, it's a symptom of thinking in terms of branching narrative instead of a dynamic narrative, crusader kings has both meaningful choice and narrative authorship and they achieve it through dynamic gameplay relevant character development

This presents itself as being reasonable but the idea underlying this is that corporations should get to abuse people until science can prove what they're doing causes harm which has got absolutely nothing to do with the law. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD3M...
