I mostly ramble about trivial nerd stuff, but I'm also on a Bluesky list for "angry politics." My politics are that bigots should fall into a deep, empty well. He/Him.

I made a joke in my main Discord server about DOOM E1M1 being in a major key and @abigbagofkeys.sickonedude.com actually made it. Jesus fucking Christ listen to this hahahaha

Just saw a "What's a movie that almost got made but didn't that really bums you out" skeet, and it got me thinking about In the Valley of the Gods again.
Sometimes I think about how we almost got a second game from Campo Santo, and I don't for a second blame the devs for taking a presumably great job offer from Valve, but In the Valley of the Gods being canceled is one of my great video game heartbreaks.

I've often thought that the best revenge for all this fashy misery would be affordable social housing, workers rights, a functional health service, sustainable energy and all the other good stuff they apparently hate. But I do keep glancing thoughtfully at lampposts.
With genuine shame, recent years in politics have given me my first taste for what it is to have moralised contempt for my opponents. Not hatred, not fear; contempt. There's some core element of the right wing coalition at the moment which seems to me best described as a revolt of the loser men...

As a Dane: Our immigration is monstrous, and I deeply hate every single politician involves in bringing this system into being across the last 2 decades or so.

Adopting a Denmark-style immigration model is a dangerous new low from our Government. Pushing temporary status, harsher family reunion rules and “parallel society” labels throws basic rights under the bus in a bid to win cheap votes.

Starting next year, there will be people only now getting into Like a Dragon and whose only experience of Yakuza 3 will be the Kiwami remake, and when they eventually get to Gaiden, this will seem even weirder
I love it when there's a photo from the past within a video game, taken from an older installment, and they just kept the old graphics in the photo. "Remember when we all had the texture and articulation points of action figures?"

I honestly don't have any investment in James Bond as a franchise anymore; it's a fossil, and if you move on from all the problematic elements, there's very little left to distinguish it besides the name.
That said, First Light looks like "IO Interactive Does Uncharted," and I'm up for that.

@adhocstudio.com Is there a way to buy the digital comics separate from the game? I bought the game for PS5, but didn't by the deluxe edition because I don't like soundtrack/artbooks etc. basically being tied to my TV, and as far as I know you can't export that stuff from the Playstation.

🔬🧠Brain‑training games for LC cognitive dysfunction? The RECOVER‑NEURO trial shows they don’t address the underlying pathology. Games can’t fix inflammation, microvascular issues, or neuro‑immune dysfunction - we need interventions that understand the biology not candy crush 🍭

We launched GenExile, our solarpunk city-builder, in Early Access last week. We had ~35k wishlists before launch (not a barnburner but not nothin').
And they said, "Well, there's no way you'll convert literally 0% of your wishlists to sales."
I looked them dead in the eyes and said, "Watch me."

It's Douglas Adams that gives me pause. I'm not glad he's dead but I am glad he was never on Twitter.
Carl Sagan too, though I doubt he'd have gone to some of the extremely dark places today's UK takes people.

I wonder if Chuck Schumer knows just how much people hate him. I mean, I'm sure he knows people dislike him; no matter how insulated he might be, it can't be completely ignored. But I wonder if he truly grasps the extent to which people just deeply fucking loathe him and everything he stands for.

Throat still sore, but I no longer feel like my body is pinned down by weights, and don't have to work hard at breathing. Progress
This is now the second time I've become mysteriously sick days after being in a meeting room with a project manager who casually drops that he was actually planning to work from home today because he was a bit under the weather, but then this important thing came up.

It's possible to recognise that we have a higher standard of living now than in the past and *also* to believe that inequitable distribution is wrong and that widespread precarity for everyone but the very rich should be fought tooth and nail.

I forgot to say, back when I posted this, that Mustachioed Brian David Gilbert is a third, distinct person, who is neither of the other two people, as well
No one will ever convince me that Brian David Gilbert without a beard and Brian David Gilbert with a beard is the same person. It does not compute. The whole head is different. I can't explain how, but it is. Those are clearly two different people.

Evans still hasn't made an action movie better than Raid 2, and really, if that remains true forever, that's understandable.
(I fully support anyone saying "Raid 1" here; I've talked before of my general preference for the messier, more ambitious sequel over the no-fat perfection of the original)

Watched Havoc last night, and it definitely has moments, but honestly, if I didn't know going in that it was a Gareth Evans movie, I don't know that I'd have caught it.
Also, was literally everything involving moving cars CG, because it looked it, and it really distracted me from the opening scene.

Now where are my loving Journeyman Project VR remakes?
I finished Riven that day, I think. Everything I've said about it held up till the very end. It's brilliant, true to the original in every way that matters, every gameplay change is an improvement AFAIC, and it's a great VR experience. 10/10
Almost done with Riven (had to take a break to dog-sit), and every single new puzzle is Good. Every puzzle I've been stuck at has culminated in a "ooooh, shit, it's so obvious now" moment, never "That's a fucking stretch" or "This makes no sense." Just, incredibly satisfying.
