I've been sick for the last couple of days. I'll be back on Monday.

Walmart still has Series S' under $275. #rundontwalk

Imagine, if you will, paying $80 for Unreal Engine 5 micro stutter games wth horrific performance.

Imagine, if you will, paying top dollar for gaming consoles with specs that was outdated BEFORE their launch in 2020 and STILL can't get 60fps is crazy!

As a 'look', no one did it quite like Psygnosis and I don't really remember anyone over the last 30 years using their style. You could probably kickstart a modern Psygnosisalike in 12 seconds flat.

Do you think Retro car racing games are superior in terms of enjoyment over modern racing games? Has the genre gotten worse over time despite the realistic graphics and focus on simulators?

Somebody on reddit got a RX9070 and minutes after installing it, ran Furmark. Minutes after that, he killed it. WHY?!? So he can get 2 extra more frames than anyone else?!? So fucking stupid! GPU's are exspensive as fuck now! PC GAMERS! I REPEAT! STOP PLAYING BENCHMARKS! START PLAYING GAMES!

A weekly friendly remember to my PC gaming peeps. Stop playing benchmarks. Start playing games. #pcgaming #pcgames #pcmr

I tried Overwatch Stadium for a day and found out it's not for me. I need friends who want to play, a strategy and a flippin' manual. It's so convoluted and confusing. I hope it succeeds but that said, back to #MarvelRivals I go.

That time I knocked up an asteroids style controller out of a toilet roll holder because thrust on up is stupid. (absolutely superb game otherwise...)

Out of all the gods of the Pantheon, The Toymaker, Maestro or Sutekh. Lux was the only one who used his powers to make someone happy. Even if it was for a short time. So Mr. Ring a Ding does have a heart. #doctorwho

Even with it's minor flaws, Season 15, Episode 2 of #doctorwho, "Lux" is probably one of the best episodes in the series...but not better than Blink. 😂 See what I did there.

Pro Wrestling actually lets you do suicide dives OUTSIDE of the ring, just like all of the luchadores in pro wrestling today do on pretty much every episode of AEW or NXT. And it came out on the NES. In 1987. toxicka.wordpress.com/2025/04/20/r...
