GTA6 has resurrected an argument from my youth. Has it changed? Have we learned anything in the intervening decades about video game violence? Let's see. #retrogaming youtu.be/oYZ7_ngFz7E

Flag shagging in the UK is a US import but you won't see this guy zip-tying a flag to a lamppost and leaving it to be ruined by the elements/buses. He's obviously weird but if you really love your country/flag, his approach makes much more sense. He's cringe but he's not trying to intimidate people.

My channel has a no generative AI policy. I will make terrible homemade thumbnails in GIMP forever.

Think I only have one publicly-accessible thing that uses PHP so you can't look at my website for a bit. Not that you ever did. It's fine. No, no, don't worry about it. Yeah. I understand. There are a lot of websites.

I'm autistic and this is brilliant, actually. Except the part about watching videos "quietly". No. "Silently". These inconsiderate arseholes ruin my day every time I take public transport and don't have my big headphones. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

YouTube Music has this in my "super mix" and I'm never skipping it. youtu.be/H2OWC5Hosv8

If you're in my GP's office any time soon, prepare yourself for what many are calling the greatest mnemonic of all time. Come for E and P, but sit down and clap for I.

Okay then. I took my time and thought about it and this is what I got. My 9 Games. #My9Games my9games.com/en/s/b409d0c...

I’m not the first person to make this observation but the prevalence of nauseating ai-generated business logos means stuff like this hits CRAZY for me now

I'm not doing "name your fave game made before 2000" because all my favourite games were made before 2000. What's with all these whippersnappers on my Internet? Whence did they all come? I know how those elderly people shouting "get off my lawn" felt and they were right all along, dagnabbit!

Without saying your age, what is your favorite movie that came out when you were 20 years old?

A lady sat near me on a quiet train and immediately started loudly scrolling TikTok. I asked if she could turn the sound off, and she turned to look at the wall like there was a switch there? Like I meant the sound of the train? She seemed unable to comprehend that other people could hear her phone.

Sonic the Hedgehog has warned Mayor Mamdani that he is planning a terrorist attack on NYC.

A thermal bath / sauna near me has explicitly called out smart glasses in their "no cameras" rule and put a big sign up in the entrance. I saw a guy wearing them trying to get in and the staff were having none of it so he watched people going in. You can clock these glasses by how they stare at you.

I've been thinking and maybe the reason autistic people are exhausted all the time is because we have kittens.

Bluesky, meet Dotty. She is 15 weeks old.

School closures were probably necessary because Boris Johnson's government didn't do a bunch of other stuff they could have done instead. I think there is a more nuanced discussion to be had than "closing schools was good or bad".

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam or Alice In Chains.

Hello EU residents. Vote vertical, vote colourful, vote birds! surveys.ecb.europa.eu/10b/banknote...

British advertisers call it "full fibre broadband" for the same reason you can't buy white eggs in the supermarket.

"Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down? That's not my department!" says Wernher von Braun.

Yeah basically this. And the whole announcement was a party political broadcast aired on the BBC. Also makes the subsequent suspension if there is one seem undemocratic. Can level of a lot of criticisms at Farage, being bad at politics isn't one of them.

Yeah same actually

Pulling for the King of Belgium and steadfastly refusing to look anything up about the actions of prior Belgian kings to see if that’s problematic or not

I'm not a football watcher but I'm popping some corn for the USA v Belgium diplomatic incident and will of course be supporting Belgium. www.rbfa.be/en/news/upda...

Spa days are bad for me because it's all I can think of when anything even slightly annoying happens at work the following day. Network folder permissions? Fuck off. I could be floating right now.

WHY SHOW ME THIS AND GREY OUT THE FUCKING DOWNLOAD BUTTON?

Quake released June 22, 1996 in North America Mario 64 released June 23, 1996 in Japan When it comes to the 3rd dimension and the medium of video games, almost everything made since stands on the shoulders of these two titans, and they were released (given the time difference) mere hours apart
