All I wanna do is stay up all night written and essay about this movie but im so tired I actually nodded off for a few minutes and woke up to see *spoiler* on screen and had to stand up for the next hour of the movie. Had to text my girl that I gotta be a better man. Im vibrating nigga

Listening to this Cordae and Anderson Paak album, which i quite like btw, and deciding that Paak fills the same tole as Ty Dollar Sign but is just more talented and not a freaky fuckin frog.

Thank you to everyone who quoted and replied! The suggestions definitely helped us nail it down, you'll be seeing results soon enough...

Sorry still thinking of $1,200-$1,800 dollar console just conceptually. Those are Real Computer numbers. You can just get a real computer for that kinda cash. The entire premise of the console is “this is a baby computer you don’t control but it’s standardized and affordable” but they can’t do that.

neat!

I have been reminded that there are 2 Johnny English sequels once again. I will see if I actually go watch them anytime soon this time.

Looking up that picture lead me to discover that there are apparently 2 more of these movies so now I have plans in the future.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

I do wish video game people had less affection for studio names and more familiarity with people’s names. I feel it does BioWare a disservice to collapse the entire studio to what it was in 2010

Fuck EA, Fuck rich people, fuck shareholders, fuck suits, fuck everyone who nakes our lifes more and more miserable.

Good news: I've been playing Doom 3 on and off for months and I finally installed a mod that fixes the shotgun. Bad news: The game picks up that I modded the game and disables achevements, and earning the achivments is part of why I'm playing it at all. Now I gotta decide what I care about more 😭

The funniest thing about buying a 2nd Steam copy of Control Resonant because my PS5 Steelbook would come late and I wanted to play the game on release is that I only played 3hrs in the few weeks it took for my Steelbook to show up. I am now replaying on PS5 as intended, spent $50 for nothing lmao.

Actually works out because we recently got ATT Fiber which means PS5 streaming in the house is finally lag free. Played a bit on my ROG Ally X and its great, looks a lot better then running it natively. Will definitely take advantage of this come GTA 6 I'm betting.

Also I do not intend to complain about the fact I haven't had time to play games lately. Ill just outright say that ive found myself in a relationship right after getting back from Jamaica and ive been happy focusing on that since its going very well. But ill be gaming more soon, im certain of it.

it's kinda comforting knowing that the current gaming hardware I own right now will be the final ones I will ever buy

'the price of the [Xbox] Helix console has internally been projected to cost consumers between $1,200 and $1,800, unless Microsoft decides to subsidize the cost' -Game Pass planning major overhaul (a la carte) -next-gen handheld by 2027 holidays, console 2028 holidays fortune.com/2026/10/20/t...

Between this being one of the most poorly timed Next Fest ever due to all the games releasing recently amd the increasing flood of AI slop clogging up the event, I really wonder if Valve takes these criticisms and move differently next Next Fest.

Tamoor Hussain@tamoorh.com

What even is NextFest anymore

Usually, when these drop I'm ripping through dozens of these demos, bot for content and out of genuine curiosity. But now I got too much contemporary shit to play to look ahead rn. Really praying that the demos I do wanna try stay available past the event, even if it's not til Dec I wanna try em!

Just did a 6 day stretch of work, the last 4 of which started at 3am, and I'm finally off today. Been watching the Kinda Funny Top 100 games finally while at work and I'm on the final day right now. Just looking at my own top 100 while listening and just overwhelmed with appreciation for the medium.

I like this game despite not having played a WHOLE lot of it. If you liked Whiplash from the PS2 era and wanted something brighter and even more crass, this definitely hits and is absolutely worth 6 quarters.
