I know a lot of people have already summed up their 2024 in gaming at the beginning of December, but I follow the American football rule "It's over when it's over". My main platform for gaming is Xbox, same for consoles and PC, top game is ☢️ Fallout 4 (bought GOTY 4 years ago, worth every cent)
A digital graphic titled "YEAR IN REVIEW 2024" with a green background. The top left corner shows a user icon and the name "mik0e1" with an "ULTIMATE" badge. Below the title, the user's Gamerscore is 90,645 and Rewards are 18,638. The image prominently features the cover art of the game "Fallout 4" in the center, indicating it as the user's #1 game for 2024. A badge labeled "Knight Owl" is shown with the description: "You prefer quests over objectives, with a dash of magic and a good dungeon or three." The bottom of the image reads "2024 highlights." The image is a summary of gaming highlights for the year 2024. It includes various statistics such as total time spent gaming (711 hours), achievements earned (+456), games played (117), gamerscore earned (+10,135), preferred platform (Console), and the busiest month (June). The breakdown of where the gaming occurred shows 522 hours on Console, 159 hours on PC, 2 hours on Mobile, and 29 hours on Cloud. The top genres are listed with percentages: 41% Action & Adventure, 37% Role playing, 11% Shooter, 4% Fighting, and 7% Other. A screenshot of a Steam Replay 2024 summary for the user "mik0e1." The summary highlights various gaming statistics for the year. The user played 15 games, unlocked 39 achievements, and had a longest streak of 10 days. The top three games played are "Tape to Tape" with 63% of playtime and 47 sessions, "Pixel Cup Soccer - Ultimate Edition" with 33% of playtime and 29 sessions, and "Sid Meier's Civilization VI" with 1% of playtime and 2 sessions.

Credit to the Boston Globe for this headline. I would personally explicitly call out the racism, but this is what the press needs to do. It needs to be clear that Donald Trump did not give a normal press conference.

This documentary has just been broadcast in France, and I burst out laughing during this scene.

Trump's first reaction when he learns that a proposed ceasefire in Ukraine is accepted by Zelensky, last May, is to think that he will receive a Nobel Prize......................................... lol

Newly released footage by France, from May 10, 2025 shows Trump’s reaction after President Macron informed him President Zelensky accepted his proposed 30-day ceasefire.

Macron: “Zelensky accepted your proposal for a 30-day ceasefire.”
Trump: “Oh, good. Nobel Prize please!”

It's interesting to see this opinion. I started playing it several days ago, and so far it's one of the worst Assassin's Creed games I've played. It's kind of on a par with Assassin's Creed III. For the first two hours, it was mostly a movie with "press X to win".

Really good speech from Carney at the World Economic Forum today.

Genuinely gives the impression he understands the gravity of the moment, which is why I'm struggling to square it with his actual actions and policy re: the United States.

The Carney speech is v good.
More generally, I think it’s important that the UK & EU recognise that this is a new world. And waiting for the mid-terms or 2028 and things to get back to ‘normal’ isn’t good enough.
Need to build the capacity & resilience to be less reliant on the US for security.

🇨🇦 Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told the World Economic Forum at Davos that the U.S.-led “rules-based international order” is finished and “will not return.” “For decades, countries like Canada benefited from what was called the rules-based international order,” Carney said. “We joined its institutions. We praised its principles. We benefited from its predictability.” But, he added, “we knew the story… was partially false.” “The strongest would exempt themselves when convenient,” Carney said, arguing that “trade rules were enforced asymmetrically,” and “international law applied with varying rigor depending on the identity of the accused or its victim.” “We participated in the rituals. And we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality.” That “pleasant fiction,” he states, no longer works. The new world is one where economic integration and financial infrastructure are openly used by hegemons—hinting at the United States—as “weapons” for “economic coercion.” Carney rejected reliance on bilateral deals with dominant powers. “When we only negotiate bilaterally with a hegemon, we negotiate from weakness,” he said. “This is not sovereignty. It is the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination.” Instead, he called for “values-based realism,” urging middle powers to act together and build a third path that is not a “world of fortresses,” but partnerships with partners with shared standards. If you are not at the table,” Carney said, “you are on the menu.” His remarks were met with a rare standing ovation in the room. Full speech below.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)
From Senator Chris McDaniel: “Lately, some folks have taken to calling ICE “the Gestapo.” It sounds fierce. It feels righteous. But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless. The Gestapo was a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything. The knock on the door was the sentence. ICE isn’t that. Not even close. ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials. Its agents file reports. They seek warrants. They lose cases. Judges stop them. Lawyers challenge them. Some detainees go home. That’s not tyranny. That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse. You can hate immigration policy. You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad. You can work to have the law changed if you wish. That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do. But when you call ordinary law enforcement “the Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil. You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor. And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize. In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight. This one hasn't yet. It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses. That difference matters. Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history. We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with. And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."
