Did some rough measurements of my hands. Realising the reason why I didn’t relate to people with big hands saying they find the Steam Deck really comfortable is that I actually have pretty average, if slightly below average, sized hands, lol

We're back with a one off poll ahead of Resident Evil's 30th anniversary next month.
Rank as many mainline (see image for what counts) Resident Evil games as you wish. If you strongly dislike a game, it is better not to rank it at all.
If you need help ranking, see follow-up tweet

I love Disco Elysium, but this thread is a very good critique of it
I say "himpathy simulator" about disco Elysium and people say "no but the main character in DE is very clearly an unlovable asshole".
And....

I’m leaning more towards disliking Danganronpa V3’s ending. Partially that’s because it’s set me off on a mild existential anxiety spiral, but also because it feels kinda… unearned?
I sort of knew where things were going from a mix of spoilers and filling in the gaps. I don’t innately dislike the premise of the ending, but I think they went a bit overboard in execution and was also kinda just bored at how much it hammered the point home

An excessively meta sequel that tested my patience. I think I preferred the first, despite this being mostly improved mechanically. In its defence, I’ve been ill through most of my playthrough, so it may grow on me
[6/10] (may rise to a 7)

With it being 25 years since the UK foot and mouth outbreak, we went back in time to get the reactions from the party leaders.
Keir Starmer: seems bad
Ed Davey: seems bad
Kemi Badenoch: I know it’s all about PlayStation these days, but I still enjoy a session on my best friend’s Sega Mega Drive

Public rioting over this new system of some GCSEs being graded A,B,C etc and others being graded 1,2,3 etc, would be justified.

This is really sad. I just feel so despairing about this and the fact that this profound failure won't be recognised as such by most politicians.
Susan Smith of For Women Scotland is quoted in this piece saying that Dr Upton leaving the NHS will be "a relief to female patients."
The employment tribunal found that Upton had done nothing wrong! She was completely innocent of any kind of harassment!

Will take this as an opportunity to share one of my favourite anecdotes.
At my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary, I got speaking to my cousin's husband.
We rarely see them because they live further away and are Jehovah's Witnesses (don't celebrate Birthdays, Christmas, Easter).

The first time was messaging my home group chat around 2016ish, bemused because I’d been approached by Mormon missionaries in Hull.
The second time was late last year, when I mentioned Alexis Warr on Strictly is Mormon to my Stepdad

If I had a penny for every time I mentioned Mormons to another Brit and a confusing conversation occurred in which I slowly realised they’d confused Mormons with the Amish, I’d have two pennies.
Which isn’t much, but it’s funny it happened twice, nearly a decade apart.

The thing that I truly don't get about this is, if AI-generated video is truly as good as we're being told it is (the video in question is awful btw, but let's ignore that for the sake of argument), shouldn't it be "over" for everybody *but* the writers?
Hollywood has slammed the company behind an AI-generated video of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, which was so realistic it prompted Deadpool's writer to state "it's likely over for us." https://bit.ly/4riKnEv

Many things on social media are American exceptionalism, but not *everything* is American exceptionalism, and asking that people have a clue what they’re talking about before weighing in on your country’s politics is a pretty universal sentiment
