The most relevant tech question right now isn't if or even when the AI Bubble bursts; for me, it's how much of the video game industry is it going to shatter along the way?

3 weeks with no functioning US Government.
No sign of a President who's interested in changing that.
No sign of an effective resistance ready to drag him out of casablanca.
Trump's coup is now complete. Let's see how long it takes them to notice.

I can't call Reform voters"sheeple", cos they're not actually being led anywhere. It's more like their discontent is being milked, so why would Reform fix anything and destroy their own influence? #cattleprats

The Xbox360/PS3 era was the highest point for me in terms of Game design. There was still a soft limit on what a game size could be because it had to fit on a disc, so bloat was a bit rarer. The PS4/XB1 era was where the brakes came off of file sizes, and bloat became the norm way too fast.

Watching this series of #Taskmaster I'm learning between Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton, The League of Gentlemen are built different.

Anyone putting you down using "woke" is bettaying that they know you're a lot smarter and more interesting than them. They were the drab little runts in school who group-mocked high acheivers, then grew up to find there's a whole planetful and they're still the same drab little runts.

2XKO kinda soured me when they kept talking about what's coming with no new info. After watching the Virtua Fighter spot at #TokyoGameShow, I'm really worried it could be going the same way.

If multi-billionaires gave away/spent £1 million for every day they were alive, they'd have to live to the age of 2,739 before they were close to spending £1 billion.

Watching the clip that got Jimmy Kimmel taken off the air made one thing very clear to me. The people who bang on about their right to free speech and use it as an excuse to be shitty people don't even pretend that they think free speech should be for everyone.

Someone forgot to tell Randy Pitchford that he's in the Entertainment biz. When his response to criticism for #Borderlands4 's performance issues is "let's see you do better", his days are numbered. I don't need to be able to hit a bullseye to know you've shot yourself in the foot there, pal.

@bsky.app Free Gretchen Felker-Martin. We've had years of scummy people jumping up and down in celebration every time an innocent was killed. Now one of those scummy people dies in the very manner he encouraged and we're not allowed to express relief that there's one less?

I say I'm opposed to violence, but that doesn't feel 100% honest. I'm not a pacifist, I just don't like violence. I think it's like having to wipe your arse when there's no paper. It's unpleasant and easy to avoid with a little thought. But here you are...
