Hey guys, I know you made really good remasters of classic single-player games, but can you make us something nobody on this motherfucking Earth asked for?
Oh wait, we don’t want you do do that any more.
Why aren’t you making us any money?
Well maybe, but only if they owned the infrastructure themselves.
As it stands, the price paid to renewable energy suppliers tracks the amount paid to fossil fuel suppliers.
There’s a reason every farmer wants to fill their fields with solar panels, and it’s got little to do with making electricity cheaper for the end user.
That said, there’s no reason not to do it anyway, at least if we want more than a few more hundred years of humanity. A tough ask in a time where every decision is made based on an election that happens in the next 4 years by people who won’t live another 20.


Wow, thank goodness nobody gutted the authority in charge of making sure that wouldn’t happen…


Like in Mountainhead.
I do wonder if everyone would be so comfortable with Cloudflare if they were a Russian or Chinese operation.
Wouldn’t be surprised to find CF were also controlling some of the biggest DDOS botnets to remind people what happens when you don’t let the Americans see all your traffic…


Not sure why they’d think kids are the target audience for a remake of a 29 year old game.
Surely all the kids are playing the latest mobile slop pocket money sink?


All of them. They’re parasites.
And I’m not opposed to ditching US tech, quite the opposite, but let’s not pretend it ends with a load of spare money for Europe because trickle up economics is real and it just ends in our own billionaires having it all, who’ll just invest it all in US tech stocks anyway…
Just let me get my manatee costume…


European landlords getting ready to hoover up that spare money. 🤑


It is bizarre how they all fled reddit when they got greedy, so ran off and set up on Discord instead. So now you get a procession of users with the same 4 questions over and over.
That’s terrible news. There’s no way I want my code to be open source. Then other people would see just how much spaghetti you can have in a codebase and still have it run.


UK newspapers would frequently publish photos of 16 years old girls with their tits out. That was only made illegal in 2004.
Back during Paedomania of the early 2000s, Brass Eye had an episode taking the piss out of the press’s new found moral crusade, despite them happily being in on it for the better part of 30 years. The press did not like this at all. Unfortunately they didn’t seem to realise they were at fault, which led to the memorable juxtaposition of an article about “perv spoof bosses” on the opposite side of the page from an article about how big 15 year old Charlotte Church’s boobs were getting.



Well that’s an ominous headline if ever I saw one.


Careful what you wish for.

I want devs to write games for £400 Steam Decks. I don’t want them to write games for £3000 GPUs.
There’s realistically no games that won’t run on PS5 level hardware. Every effect that can be done with raytracing can be done a little worse without it.
Connery even made a Michael Bay movie watchable.
There’s not many actors that can say that.
Yeah, but in the third act he got to fight a giant spider. Do you know anything about spiders? They’re the fiercest killers in the insect kingdom.
What mine shows me is mostly racism and xenophobia. I mean, they know I’m white. Figured they might as well just shoot their shot.
Meanwhile it’s utterly terrible at the one thing it’s supposed to do. I’m got a few old friends and family members on there. Not super close or anything, but the kind of people you’d be vaguely interested in seeing if they had cancer or had babies or anything. Didn’t show me those events at all.
Like, what is even the point of it other than a US far-right psy-op?
