Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam

This is where we're at now.

#EarwormOfTheDay Psychic TV - Godstar

(Not sure what it says about the state of my head that I've got a Psychic Tv song as an earworm. Stuck at home all week with a belurgied toddler. That's probably it.)

One thing I never understand about humans is their need to have things they consider too precious to ever use for their intended purpose.

I love Baker's Who.

"You haven't touched anything have you Harry?"

"Me?"

"Well, there are only two of us here and your name *is* Harry."

Been binging Doctor Who from the start since summer. Now got to the classic Tom Baker era. It has my favourite title sequence, probably because it's the one I saw first as a child. That time-tunnel effect still looks good.

Hear me out: Modern AAA role-playing video game... *but* there is no map or log. You have to keep a paper quest log and use graph paper for mapping like in the 80s. #GameConcepts #MadNotions

After being aware of it for 30 years I've finally got around to watching the TV show based on "William Shatner's" (ghostwritten) #TekWar novels.

It's entertaining in the old 'so-bad-it's-good' bucket.

They did. I knew all my friends and families phone numbers off by heart when I was a kid.

Couldn't tell you what my own number is now though, never-mind anyone else's.
If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

I've been wondering what those QR codes were that have been posted all over town.

Apparently they are links to yer ma's onlyfans. TBH, there's not going to be much on there we all haven't already seen...

I'm all for digital archiving and data preservation and I wholeheartedly support the work of the #internetarchive, however I can't help but think that the proliferation of product there that is still otherwise commercially available is going to kill it in the end.

How come sites don't use RSS anymore? Is it not a thing these days? Not cool with the kids? Am I out of touch?

No web forums, no news feeds... I just don't understand this world anymore.

- Yes, son?
- What does 'regret' mean?
- Well, son... a funny thing about regret is; that it's better to regret something you have done, than something you haven't done. And by the way, if you see your mom this weekend, will you be sure and tell her...
