Every now and then something is so aggressively marketed that it is almost certain that it's terrible, I'm not saying it's definitely terrible, but Predator Badlands is getting a lot of marketing

Anyone think it's odd that Trump is gonna take $230mil from tax payers to cover legal fees for the crimes he committed right as he needs to fork up $250mil for the new ballroom he said tax payers wouldn't pay for? Not to mention to $20bil Argentina bail out whilst saying they can't afford medicare

Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game where you play as a former slave fighting the KKK because of the current climate in the US... Sooo, they're afraid of offending racists? www.pcgamer.com/games/ubisof...
Ubisoft reportedly cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set around the American Civil War because of Yasuke backlash and political turmoil in the US
The game was meant to take place during the Reconstruction era, and would have featured a Black assassin confronting the emergence of the Ku Klux Klan.

Imagine you're playing RDR2 and you're in the final cutscene, it's emotional, you've put 100+ hours into these characters, and then an ad for some shaving company interrupts it, in fact every hour of those hundred hours has been interrupted by ads. That's seems to be the direction XBox want to go

I don't get how Governments aren't in legislation overdrive over AI news. Grok has a mode allowing the creation of nudes with no restriction, Rod Stewart made a vid of Ozzy in heaven taking selfies with a pedo. Interviewing a school shooting victim. Yet if I wanna look at Reddit, I need ID

Imagine having to start every sentence with 'I worked at Blizzard for 7 years' to try and come across as smart and qualified on software engineering topics instead of just actually being smart and qualified enough that your work speaks for itself, yikes

I cannot believe how roundly Elon Musk has proven himself to be a complete pillock, and how much harm he has done to Tesla's brand and value, and yet they still give him $30 billion worth of shares. These rich people on company boards really are just the biggest bunch of cretins in the world

Somewhere around $10million of US tax payer money has been spent on the teeny tiny peened tangerine fellon's visit to Scotland to promote his golf course... Thanks for the extra money in our economy I guess

Movie review - There are 2 movies with killer AIs out now, one is witty, self aware, and entertaining. The other is po faced, has a tedious first half, then tries to make biplanes fast and exciting. Despite what some people who are just mad it's not a horror think, I thought M3gan 2.0 was good fun
