Not as nice as initially expected, but does get better over time. I don't get it either.

In gaming circles, I'm 'Shockeh' - I probably should have worked there but InfoSec paid better.
I’m confused - I recognise objectively Fight Club is not a story to aspire to, and it’s really about toxic masculinity.

But also I really want to watch the corporate buildings collapse whilst the Pixies play ‘Where Is My Mind’ in the background.

Fantastic news for Joss Whedon dialogue fans!

Terrible news for *checks clipboard* literally everyone else!

What video game do you consider perfect?

"Yes, I know he's the same. We've got 3 people playing Rogue, a Fighter in Aragorn, a Wizard, Dwarf and an Elf. No, natural 1 on the save for that stupid ring wasn't my fault - No, I hear you, I know we don't have a Cleric!"

Who do you think you are kidding Mr. Donald,
If you think we're on the run?
We are the boys who will stop your little game.
We are the boys who will make you think again.
'Cause who do you think you are kidding Mr. Donald,
If you think old England's done?

1. KOTOR
2. Half-Life 2
3. Breath of the Wild
4. Fallout: New Vegas
5. Disco Elysium

Those five rewrote the rules for their respective genres. In raw quality, BG3 sneaks in right after.

It's wild to me to put Clair Obscur, which is no doubt a very good game, even on the same list.
Of the 31 games that won the 'now' votes, rank as many as you can. That could be just voting for your favourite, or a top 3, or 10, or just go mad and rank all 31.

I will NOT count ties
I will NOT count the same game in multiple ranks

Have we considered the possibility FIFA is cursed? Like, it’s not their fault? Maybe giving Donny the peace prize caused it, and now it’s a totem forever more.

Genuinely, for 2026 - I'd like an RPG Group I... like. Like, a group I'd actively want to spend time with outside of the game.

@netflix.com - I can make your live sports more profitable, hire me.

Skip the whole boxing match part, just have a show where huge people punch Jake Paul in the face until he falls down. Over and over.

Guaranteed top 10 most viewed.

The Whitsundays are… well, they’re really something. You never believe the hype about a place, but they manage to meet the hype and then some!

Just… mind boggling natural beauty.

I think for PR reasons, Andrew should change his name to just a symbol, like maybe just an outline of Epstein Island.

Then he could be ‘The Nonce Formerly Known As Prince.’

Well done to dipshit #3,271 next to me on the flight to SYD today, actually arguing that when everyone puts up their trays for takeoff (yes, takeoff) that somehow their rights are being impinged.

Brother. Please brother.

There needs to be a word for when you're stymied at work due to outside forces you can't control, and you're just building a dam of anxiety over lack of progress despite it not actually being your fault.

Never been prouder of you goons. What an excellent tribute to a man who has defined an entire universe that has influenced millions of imaginations.

The Dave Easy Guide To Voting:

Step 1. Find out which candidate is being backed by a series of billionaires.
Step 2. Vote for the other one.

Left: We want to have equity for all. Yes, even the blue haired shrieker.

Right: We want a technobro run factory state with Christian overtones where you can discriminate against anyone who doesn’t profile.

Centrists: Well, these two things are both crazy.

Off to SYD again FIFO; It absolutely needs to happen for work, and it’s to my benefit professionally, but my days it is exhausting to do frequently.
