When people post this kind of stuff about the police, I say "this is great advice on causing a body cam malfunction", but do ICE goons even wear body cams?

Well, for the record, I'd give my remaining nut to have you as show-runner for Doctor Who, if RTD jumps ship. You can take my reply straight to the BBC. I'm sure they'll hire you instantly.

ICE doesn't need to check, they just need to pull out a colour swatch.

Against what constitutes a federal invasion of the state, what he should be doing is calling up that organised militia the Second Amendment refers to, not promising to crack down on violent protestors (of which I’m yet to see video evidence of a single one).

I’m genuinely concerned you’re one stray thought in a trigger-happy goon’s head away from America’s own Tiananmen Square moment in the next couple of days.
The only shelter I have from that kind of honest fear (not even living in the US) is being glib about it. It’s glib or angry, I have to choose.

What ever happened to that Californian secession movement from like 2017/18? I bet people are really wishing they’d listened to the secessionist wackos, now.

I'm worried that you guys are headed for your own Tiananmen Square moment, very soon.

Live action remakes are, aside from a pointless cash grab, a revival of the disrespect for animation as a medium, where people consider it inferior, or exclusively for children. It's like people think the only reason you'd animate anything is you can't afford sets, props and costumes.

I guess that does rehash some of the 8th Doctor stuff, travelling across the patchwork world of the anti-time universe with Charley and K'rizz, trying to find the TARDIS, but that WORKED, and it could have worked again for Whittaker.

That structure would preserve the monster of the week format of Whittaker's first season (which I actually appreciated after Moffat's run), but it would give her an actual fucking goal to accomplish. It would give the season a story, with a built in conceit for the monster of the week episodes.

The TARDIS, meanwhile, is pinwheeling across the universe, landing where the Doctor WILL be, where she needs to be to right some wrong. Meanwhile, the only reason the Doctor will be there is she's tracking the TARDIS through the Vortex. It's just arriving early, off target, failing to meet up.

Have Whittaker travelling with a vortex manipulator, maybe cobbled together a fake TARDIS with only a small amount of bigger-on-the-inside, and a vortex manipulator in the console instead of a proper TARDIS heart.

While casting Whittaker out of the TARDIS in her introduction was basically a statement of Moffat's attitude (she's not the REAL Doctor!), if I were in Chibnall's place, I'd have made the whole first season a chase for the TARDIS.
comment in response to
post
My only problem with Whittaker's run under Chibnall is Chibnall was cramming about three times as much as would fit into his seasons. It gave everything a breakneck frenetic pace. I couldn't tell you a single thing that actually happened because not a single moment was allowed to just sit.

The only mental image I can conjure of your driver is Ash from Supernatural.

Allow me to introduce you to Money Shot. I don't think I need to tell people but, you know, probably don't open this at work.

You must be a time traveller from 2004. Hoo boy do you have a lot to catch up on...

I mean, he DID kill himself, so there's something. We can only hope the modern nazis follow his example.

I don’t know what specifically this refers to, but just repost it in a week, and again in a month, and it’ll be just as relevant.

Definitely a new favourite, for me. It dethroned Technobabylon. I liked Hob's Barrow, but I played that the same year I played Kathy Rain (I was a bit late to the party on that one), and I just felt KR did the small town/village supernatural mystery a little better.

Snitches get stitches. I don’t think it’s in corporate interest to allow AI to report to authorities on everything, because then we’d reject it. Obviously, bad crimes will be witnessed by AI, but I think AI should be subject to the same legal mechanisms as human witnesses at that point.

You know, right now, practically the eve of the Switch 2 launch that everyone is TRYING to act excited about, that'd be a great time for Sony to have announced the new handheld we all want...

You should do an issue where all the women wear 1940s/50s bullet bras, just to mess with your readers.

Hey, can you copy and paste what you just posted in to ChatGPT and have it tell you what an idiot you're being? Because you're definitely not going to listen to a human telling you that.

We’re watching the biggest failure to capitalise on something since Sony didn’t push the Vita hard on the fumbled 3DS launch.

Trump’s weakest point is his ego, so needling him with this is actually probably the most effective strategy to manipulate him, and public perception. It’d just be nice if the Democrats could, you know, marry that up with some actual fucking ACTION and POLICY.

I mean, not only was it prophetic of today, but it was firmly a criticism of Bush-era politics. That’s the really scary thing about older sci-fi (oof… 2004 is “older” now…), it’s written about the time it’s in, and it’s really fucking scary that it could have been written today.

The emoji bullet points in the intro are all it took for me to say “that’s AI”. Why is AI so damned emoji-crazy?

I think the first Kathy Rain has a better story, but the second has better puzzles, I think. Still, even with the recap at the start of the game, you basically NEED to play the first game first to get it.

If this is your one per year, you've made the right choice. Totally recommend Kathy Rain 2, as well, if you've played the original.

I am so glad I finished my degree before ChatGPT was a thing, because my writing is just the kind of cobbled together plausible gibberish you expect from AI, and because of my process (do everything at teh last possible moment), five seconds after clicking submit, I couldn't tell you what I wrote.

I haven't heard anything about that beyond this post, but I am very unsurprised.

I was cursing and full of existential dread from the age of ten, so this is fine.

I’ve learned to never give a new Netflix show a chance until the second season is done and the third is greenlit, because I keep getting really into a show and finding out it was cancelled before the first season even released.

The only fandom that hates what it claims to like even more is the Star Wars fandom, but it's a close call. Some days I say the opposite.

Like, seriously, I woke up, checked my phone, instantly saw two big spoilers for Doctor Who, not even hidden. Full text, right there on my phone, in my notifications. Fuck Google.

(I say I "think" I played Bestowers of Eternity because at the time I was downloading and rapidly devouring everything that looked playable on the AGS and OHRRPGCE forums, and I can't actually remember if I played it, then discovered Legacy later, or went back and played it after Legacy).

Everyone who worked on Old Skies should be proud of it. Been a fan since Blackwell Legacy (I THINK I even played Bestowers, back when I lurked on the AGS forums) and watched the steady improvement in art, voice acting and direction, puzzle design, and systems, but Old Skies is a big leap forward.
