I'm 44. I won't run out of classic games to discover while AI is "making" new garbage, if that's what it's coming to.
"If you hate GenAI you're going to have to stop playing new games when they all start using it"
My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

Well. This sure was a game. That I played. And wrote a review for (over the course of FAR too much time).
I spent about $2 Canadian on this, and I still think that's too much.

So... THE PITT. Six episodes in, going on seven.
Yeah, that's pretty good TV.
Always glad to see Noah Wyle, real interesting turn for him here. Isa Briones is fun, especially once the "too cool for school" routine starts to give way to "Oh... this person is WAY more fragile than they let on".

Every secondhand James Cameron story sounds like dialogue from 'ARCHER.'
"Awesome guy. We watched Anime together. Also, that time my dad was kidnapped? I called him, he sent me $1 Million and a negotiator. The Marines said he wanted to ride along for the extraction, too - that guy loves to party!"

Y'know, it makes perfect sense that Guillermo del Toro and James Cameron were roommates who introduced each other to Patlabor and Battle Angel Alita.

Someone put this "blue plaque" on a London Tesla showroom to mark his becoming the world's first trillionaire. “World’s first trillionaire Elon Musk. Could have solved world hunger but funded fascists instead. Bellend.”

it seems bad to me that basically outside of Obama, the amount of people in the Democratic Party who can basically give a good speech is like a list of 10 people
"Wife mad at you? DEI." is phenomenal work.
Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..
