A group consisting mostly of angry young men with something to prove, and older angry men who demand respect, are going to find something to violently respond to if the "crime" exists or not.

I used to have an ocean wave projector, a white noise machine and... Uh... a desktop fan. It wasn't a bad setup and I should really get another ocean wave projector after age caused my old one to drown out the noise of relaxing sea life with the grinding of a motor on plastic gears. 🫠

It is both hilarious and frustrating that the people with the easiest roles to fill and replace with Al, are the ones trying to make every other role "obsolete".

Probably the BBC Micro, too. I have hazy memories of it, but I do remember those large chunky disks.

It's the best kind of jumpscare when the surprise is cute and you want her to surprise you.

It's genuinely surprising how many shapes can form on a a consistent surface. Despite being windy yesterday, the water I saw was very calm, barely a ripple.
I run the risk of falling asleep if I sit on a bench to observe it for too long, at least fountains are noisy enough to keep me awake. 😂

I'd rather trust geniuses who have human life experiences than a random word generator that makes shit up. People who know what we need to survive and who leave massive computational leaps to the macines that purely inform. Not an exec trying to push the square Al through a round spacefaring hole.

"It's 'not that kind' of mouse? How woefully droll coming from a being who cannot see how everything clicks and reshapes and resizes its surroundings. Anything can be a 'mouse'."

Wow, I can actually change the splash screen on my laptop, and I'm very tempted to make it some silly animated "technical difficulties" meme.
I look forward to the bit where I replace it with an animated gif and my system breaks.

I kind of miss this, I was slow to upgrade my PCs, so it slipped my notice that we got a little less DOS each time. Now, booting up my laptop is clean, and I miss that rapid fire "Yep, hold on, I'm on it" coding grit that would scroll up rapidly.

I still see large bottles of "hook it to my veins!" style cider with generic branding not unlike that label, but I did not know a specific one had been discontinued.

Nothing quite like walking to a friends house and seeing a bottle of this open on a low wall like someone was going to come back for it, then walking past the same low wall later and it's gone because somebody did.

You should be very careful in that room; do not say anything unless there is a lawyer present, those RPD officers have the confidence to show their brains and sharp tongues these days...
But Claire's brother is a cop, so she should be OK.

"Should we enhance his glutes?"
"No, they're powerful enough."
"Really? Who is the master craftsman who enhanced them?"
"Nobody did, he's always been like that."

When she uses the money to bribe the legal system to further strip people of their comfort and rights, we should thank our lucky stars that we have Nick saying, "that is so wrong, oh no" very quietly from the sidelines.

Attach each copy of the Ooze to either side of a perfectly sanded wooden plank.
Use precise measurements to locate the centre of said plank.
Create a fluid capsule containing a single air bubble.
Place capsule in the centre of the wooden plank.
Et voila, the ultimate tool for seeking any level.

I haven't lost track of time in a long time. Photobashing does that for me. I like making stupid jokes, working around graphical problems and finding stock imagery so I can visualise a joke. It puts me in such focus, that it feels like I wake up when I'm done.
Always looking for that feeling.

I once copied an entire game code from a book, putting it into a ZX Spectrum, I even customised some of the graphics with letter-characters to make it look a little better. When I shown this to my father, at first he didn't believe that I did it, then it was a "waste of time"...
...Yeah.

But now, I DO have the technology to create something, so, now I'm trying my best to learn design and programming. I've not had the right circumstances to do so, but I've gathered so many resources to be ready for when I do.

IMHO, it takes genuine skill to make something look "less advanced".

I find hyper-realism to be very tedious and boring.
Does it have a place? Sure, the more human a character looks the easier empathy comes.
But the whole "Game must look like a movie" standard whilst doing nothing inventive or creative rustles my jimmies.

I am fine with games pushing technological limits if it's to either:
Express a bold and interesting art style and power is the only way to realise this vision.
and/or
The game itself needs the power for something demanding as part of a play-style or mechanic.

I've said this before, but in awe rather than disbelief.
Dang, I have to get my own hustle on.

I remember working nights in an office, and the kitchen had just been renovated. I had Dino Crisis on my PSP and I will always associate a clean room and the smell of fresh paint with: www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1LH...
