TRUMP FIVE MINUTES AFTER MEETING ME: And, I can’t believe it. I genuinely can’t believe it. There has not been a new Ending of Zones game in 20 years—
ME: It’s called Zone of the Enders, Donald.
TRUMP: Yeah yeah, Zone of Enders. They have these fast robots. We should make them. They’d be the best.

I am talking to someone on an app and I am recommending three games that can all be played and finished within an hour or so and I realised that all three of them are published by Annapurna Interactive.

What a genuinely weird — and silent (EHHHHHHHHH :D) — shadow drop. Probably the quietest ever.
Not a peep of it from Konami besides it being a boilerplate point in a Japanese PR announcing a Black Friday sale… for Silent Hill f.
Anyway, for UK folks, it is in fairness cheap as fuck at £27.49.

A former UK prime minister held responsible for tens of thousands of deaths while the US president calls for elected politicians to be hanged.
A jolt of a reminder that law and policy are ultimately about life and death.
And politicians are often not up to dealing with such things.

Gervais co-owns the brand he's advertising here and is heavily involved in the advertising strategy.
It's deeply fucking cynical because he's using one of the oldest tricks in marketing.
He KNOWS that getting cancelled by the ASA generates huge amounts of free press
advertising and it's cheap.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
