I like to see some speedruns. They're fun and they, by design, don't take much of your time. But I have no idea how their naming works. I'd see an "any% story, major-glitch only, low-class, no 123Harier-skip, Jason5skip minus easy kill skip run, no dreg item, only sreg" and I'd be like "Yeah, sure."

Football/Soccer needs to implement the American salary cap thing. It's getting ridiculous here. In Bulgaria a really rich guy both a nothing team, poured a bunch of money into it and look at this shit. 14 straight years of winning the championship with nothing but money. This shit ruins leagues.

Epic reduce their cut to 0% for the first $1 million in revenue for devs on the Epic Games Store #Gaming #PCGaming #EpicGames

I hated the idea of calling AI images "art." But this "vibe coding" thing just hits the bullseye of annoyance for me. I'm a programmer, I'm a coder. The idea that the annoying product manager I had 10 years ago is now a "coder" is bullshit. You suck, dude. Just admit you can't do shit. That's fine.

Just had the best comedy bit in my life when my kid decided that a hand puppet called Zinkie, the Annoying Turtle had to prove he's not a baby by saying "grown-up" stuff. It started with "I hAVe to Go tO WoRk" and went into "I MadE soMe InVestMents but The sTock MarKet CRaSHed!" Killed the room.

The mobile game market is so fucked that I'm getting these classic fake mobile game ads for the new fucking DC Comics game. You should be able to actually show what the game is, right? It's Superman and Batman. I don't need to see Superman going in a straight line, collecting x2 and X5 multipliers.

Power cut out for two hours today. My oven didn't know what time it was, my PC couldn't start Steam, my dryer didn't know what to do so it just started over. My dishwasher was like "Yeah? We were doing dishes, right? What was it? 35 minutes left? Got ya, mate!"

I hate that the Citadel painting app expects you to have every possible paint colour. Like, "Yeah, right! Why don't I just go and drop €100 on paints right now!?" but then you do follow the instructions on there if you have the paints and it comes out fucking perfect. Hate that they're right.

They always use "they're doing [thing] to mice!" to try and devalue the importance of the research being done. Sure, spraying rats with bobcat urine and trying to cure mice with HIV sounds weird but you can't do the shit they're doing to mice to people.

Playing NFS Underground was the coolest thing ever when it came out but now, while it's still one of the best racing games ever, I laughed so hard when I finished a race while listening to Fuel's Quarter and then had a drag race in a 2003 Ford Focus with a carbon hood. Hood scoop included.

Microsoft making an AI that can "generate ideas" for games is truly revolutionary. The one thing game development lacks is ideas guys.
