Another day, another time begging people to add #EnemyZero to @gog.com 's Dreamlist as it already had a PC port in 1996 which works great on modern PCs and this year it's celebrating its 30th anniversary without being available to buy @sega-west.bsky.social @sega.jp

How to great a friend over 30 you haven't seen in a while: raise your hand slowly to their face and say "the years have not been kind to you, time has ravaged your once youthful looks"

This looks like those "cosplayer meets actor" con pictures.
Tánaiste Simon Harris has said AI is “no longer a concept” and is “here to stay” following a recent visit to San Francisco.

Harris said that as he travelled though San Francisco, he was “struck” by the “unavoidable reality” of how AI is “woven into daily life”.

Our senior politicians need a chaperone for their visits to San Fran, someone who can point at stuff and go "that's not AI it's a search engine", "that's not a hologram it's a projector", "that's not a robot it's just a guy with a remote control"

Reminder that Blue Monday isn't a real phenomenon, it was made up by the boyband Blue in 2002 to make me wanna call you in the middle of the night, make me wanna hold you 'til the morning light, make me wanna love, make me wanna fall, make me wanna surrender my soul

This has been completely normalized. Once upon a time when it happened, there was days of press coverage and vigils.

Reminder that RTE paid Tubridy and co huge salaries based on the claim they would simply walk out into higher paid jobs in the UK.
There is a lot of Ryan Tubridy redemption in the papers today

If he wants redemption then he should come clean about how his bogus self employment terms and conditions were used to ruin the employment standards of his colleagues who were paid a fraction of his ridiculous salary. Everything else is just spin.
