Solus Ascending, a 2D point and click adventure game set in the only building left standing in the world due to the Earth's sea levels rising, that's ran by an oppressive government.

Journey through different floors, finding out just how much they have lied to everyone!
It's my girlfriend's 50th birthday today and although we are together almost 24/7 so I can't secretly make her anything (😅), her friend drew her this wonderful Stardew Valley drawing!

Years ago I took pictures of these two films, I think it's 2009's Star Trek and Nemesis, one went overkill with the lights and the other forgot to use any

I always imagined I'd be the sort of person embracing AI, but I never foresaw it being a plagiarism machine and also being utterly unreliable in a search engine, but there it is. A completely different and not actually intelligent, AI.

After many, many years of using Firefox, I have uninstalled it due to their embracing of AI. Sick of this shit.

I was thinking of putting a public bathroom location in my "everyone lives in one building" game that has a constant queue of random people when you walk by it, and now I'm thinking the character refuses to continue his quest until he's been to the bathroom.
AAA video game character going to the toilet: "I'll take these stairs." "Ah, there it is, the bathroom." "Better open the door." "The door's open, nice." "Gonna pull my trousers down now." "Sitting down." "Okay, here we go." "I needed that." "Okay, time to fl

I bought 22 acres of land but I can't find where it was, I've lost the plot.

Somebody stole my drinking apparatus! That's the last straw.

There was a man made of chocolate who wandered the lands, he was a drifter.

Although I will more often buy a music CD from Rarewaves or HMV, the Amazon wishlist is an easy way to keep an eye on CDs forthcoming that I might want to buy. But for a while now it's been useless, I can only find CDs for the next 90 days. Thanks for nothing.

These percentages for music listened to on my phone are quite funny this year because I have been listening to that many different artists I've discovered, mostly stuff from 90s or 00s.

For decades now I've been singing "Yeah yeah but he's drop dead gorgeous" by Republica out loud and will continue to do so as a hetero man who couldn't give a toss
How is it the Year of Our Lord 2025 and singers are still swapping the pronouns of song covers to make it Not Gay.

Don't you also wish every game would inform you if the difficulty selection can be changed later or not? I'm often having to check online to see if I'm making a permanent commitment.

Does this look okay? Wanted to zoom the camera out in this scene so it's somewhat less pixelated looking.

Nobody liking this post, I think I just don't get seen enough. Should I tag my posts more frequently?

#Obama #Trump

There! Tagged to probably get the wrong kind of attention lol
Obama should be President instead! I know someone can't be President of USA for a third term but apparently the rules don't matter anymore.

I am the same, however I do wonder if there will even be a replacement format, or if their quality is now good enough that a replacement format is redundant? In which case I would only buy new films and shows on that format.

Meanwhile I still have CDs.
Me: I buy physical media so I'll have a copy forever.
Also me: just took delivery of Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture 6-Movie Collection on 4K. This is an upgrade from my Blu-Ray set, which was an upgrade from the DVDs, which were an upgrade from the VHS box.

It's wild that many years ago I used to take issue with a vocalist singing a personal song with lyrics they didn't write themselves, when it feels insignificant now when we got AI writing songs.
I do not care what how much propaganda Silicon Valley tries to spread saying otherwise, a machine vomiting up slop is never ever going to be art to me the way an human being sitting and making something with their soul, knowledge and skill set is.
