I’m a big fan of the ’ice cream eating motherfucker’ skit

it feels disingenuous to say “we have enormous wealth”. on average we might but it’s the distribution that counts and on that front most people don’t have enormous wealth. The wealth isn’t invisible it’s concentrated & hoarded

That was a key criteria for me too: if this comes on the radio am instinctively I turning it up?

Looking forward to this! I recommended Warcry in my survey response but I also think Martin Wallace’s Wildlands (and the judge dredd spinoff) is a really interesting addition to the genre which might be worth a look

I re-read it a couple of years back after realising the same thing. It was alright but I wouldn’t bother tbh, some interest as a time capsule but otherwise slight. that said, it was a very easy read so if you have a copy lying around…

I went New Order but honestly could have voted differently on a different day. I've never taken NIN seriously but it's never affected my enjoyment.

The actual odd thing isnt people reading in public but columnists assuming everything happening public is a performance for their benefit, like they can’t imagine a world which they’re not the center of

Over the first 2 episodes it felt like they just didn’t have as many former band members as the boy bands one did (not a single spice girl), the atomic kitten section felt relatively strong because they have more than one.

I’ve been playing it but it hasn’t bitten me as hard as balatro did last year. it feels a bit more respectful of my time insofar as there’s a bit more friction stopping me from jumping back into the next run

Well that’s only one walking whereas the route with a bus trip has two walking, makes perfect sense 🙃

I had that too! Been thinking about it recently as I’ve been considering of the lighting/ colour scheme for the alien rpg minis that are hopefully arriving any day now🤞
