it’s fun that i’ve just seen a dude call 28 years later “the worst movie ever” and proceeded to describe something that sounds cool. people have no fun bones in them anymore.

that’s fantasy life i with credits rolled. irritating writing aside, it’s a dense game that is perfect to zone out to. podcast game outta five.

yeah maybe, also, yakuza 0 being on sale regularly for like a fiver and then being popped on the store for 50 quid might turn people off. i dunno.

some of the better websites are still unusable because they have autoplaying videos. all i’m trying to do is read something on VGC and i’m routinely interrupted by their autoplaying videos just immediately taking over the screen. send your web dev people to ux school asap.

why is scheduling an instagram post like 4 layers into the ui? why is anything the way that it is on that app? it’s genuinely baffling how bad meta are at just making the stuff they’re known for

comment sections have gotten worse over time, but i think TikTok’s might be the most infuriating. a comment section of a video of a man with gloves on in hospital to stop him ripping out IVs is riddled with “what are they for?” it’s been answered six times, 12 hours ago!! READ. PLEASE.

my latest handheld review is the Nintendo Switch 2, a console that will live & die by its software, which just isn't here yet. a person can't live on Mario Kart World and ports alone. sidequest.cool/nintendo-swi...

Sam Altman’s latest blog describing the “gentle singularity” is so nauseating. The most blatant grift and conman in tech since Musk. Not a single idea for pushing humanity forward outside of productivity for capitalism. Disgusting.
