I finally watched the 1957 classic '12 Angry Men' on Prime. What a fascinating film, almost completely takes place in once room, and delves into the value of life, the justice system, conflict, psychology and biases. 90 fascinating mins of people arguing.

Dear FIA, I really canā€™t emphasise this enough, but no one gives a flying toss what you think.

Cinephiles watch a 6/10 movie and will champion it for the rest of their lives. Gamersā„¢ play an 8/10 video game and deem it garbage that only shills like. This is because Gamersā„¢ are unsophisticated morons who don't understand or appreciate the very art form they chose to consume

Namaste a while, and listen.

Any of you ever heard of Mighty Man? An associate of mine showed it to me today, apparently there's this conspiracy theory that it was a CIA / Apartheid govt sci-op. This UCLA archive has a bunch of the comic issues: https://buff.ly/4iapmGQ

Frigginā€¦ ouch.

We all had loadshedding for just that one weekend and weā€™ve now had 3-4 power outs in this area since. Maybe itā€™s coincidence and more about the rain, but maybe itā€™s because loadshedding seriously screws the systems up.

Oh boy.

Somethingā€™s wrong with the sky you guys. Itā€™s all blue and stuff.

Nintendo are charging 'Super Mario Bros. Wonder', 'Tears of the Kingdom' and 'Metroid Dread' money for an HD remaster of a Wii game. Have Nintendo gone a little bananas? šŸ“¼ WATCH: https://youtu.be/VizDi0R8XyQ

People who say 'math' instead of 'maths' are a bunch of asshole.

For anyone that can read Greekā€¦ this šŸ˜‚

I thought the whole start of this post was talking about one single Paddington movie. I was pumped.

The mosquitos that are gonna surface when the sun comes out after all these days of solid rain.

So based on just Reddit, YouTube and Twitterā€¦ I can tell you that Avowed is INCREDIBLE, also mediocre, but also maybe the WORST game youā€™ve ever played. I think itā€™s kinda nice but not without some issues, but that opinion doesnā€™t get you 100K clicks. šŸ“¼

An older family member needs a tablet to just manage stuff like some Facebooking and reading eBooks. Does anyone have any suggestions for something that's decent for these on a budget?

These rainy mornings playing Lonely Mountains before work while I make my way through a nice big cup of coffee reminds me of the days when I just got my PS4 and would do the same with Resogun.

Gameplay footage from STALKER 2? Nope, just the reason that my whole side of Pretoria doesnā€™t have power right now.

I do believe that I just discovered an ā€œeverything everywhere all at onceā€ Easter egg in Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders šŸ˜¬. @LonelyMnts

I don't care if you're interested in Avowed or not, it's another awesome Game Pass release day and I'm just reminded that Game Pass is just one of the coolest things to ever happen to gamers. It's a shame that like with most things these days, its surrounded by console war nonsense.

One of the big problems with the video game ratings system, is thereā€™s never been a point where everyone agreed on a standard. Every person and outlet has their own view. Your 7/10, IGNs 7 and some YouTuberā€™s 7 can all mean good, bad, mediocre, etc. How might we get a standard?

If you told me years ago that if I buy an Xbox, Iā€™ll get games like Forza Indiana Jones, Doom Dark Ages, Fable (and tons of other third party games) on a sub service, but the downside was that PS5 gamers get to buy and play them later down the line - you think Iā€™d be upset?

I'm sure now that my Balatro is broken. There's a card that has 1 in 4 chance to turn a random joker into a special one. Tried it literally every time the card has come up, never skipped it not even once, done it 20+ times. It said NOPE 100% of the time.

Played a quick bit of lonely mountains doing some of the harder trails before work this morning and I really never expected this to possibly become one of my fav games of the year

When this constant light rainy weather is already amazing and then it starts raining harder
