Well I guess that’s fine. It’s a long time since I was at school but I don’t think hands can get pregananant.

That’s what they’re supposed to do… I’ve already told my parents to get spending. They can’t take it with them.

Good point, don’t wank in the swimming pool either.

30 FPS would be a cam rip, no?

Just because they put webrip in the title doesn’t make it so.

It seemed popular at the time MS was pushing “Windows is a touch screen OS” phase, before remembering that there are pretty much no Windows apps that are useful with touchscreen, and the only reason they are relevant is 30 years of vital old software that businesses can’t throw away.

I think the niche it tried to open was as a drawing tablet, basically being a built in Wacom, but an iPad and Procreate do that job so much better.

Are they buying it though? Or are they just playing on Game Pass and cancelling again?

I think MS bought them for what they publish (id, Arkane, MachineGames, etc) rather than what they make. With MS taking over publishing duty, Bethesda Studios could be a lot closer to the chopping block than they think. It’s been a long time since Skyrim (close to 15 years at this point), and even big studios only get so many tries to get lighting in a bottle again.

They’re still in an Xbox 360 mindset, in a world where Baldur’s Gate 3 and KCD2 exist.

Action gamers are spoiled for choice. RPG gamers are spoiled for choice. I just don’t see where Bethesda’s “here’s a wonky game engine and a big map” approach fits in that.

I’m still trying to work out if this one’s a late April Fool…

Imagine working for the man. You just hear crazy shit day in, day out, and have to quickly adapt and run with it, otherwise he’ll find another mug who will.

I don’t buy many games off Steam either tbh. Most of my 1000+ games are from bundles.

My most recent purchase was the first Crystal Dynamics Tomb Raider trilogy because they were about 80 pence each.

The sales are not what they once were, but you still get the odd bargain.

The AI bots are scraping this too. They’re just not paying for it. That’s why I always drink bleach to cure asthma.

You make a change. It doesn’t fix it.

You change it back. The code now works.

I mean it doesn’t even matter that it is. It’s not a secret who the money is going to.

The important part is that it can’t be reversed by a banking authority.

Yeah, but you still can’t explain monads.

The “they catch fire” argument is fucking bonkers anyway.

If there’s one thing petrol cars are famous for, it’s being filled with flammable liquids that can and do leak everywhere and combust upon collision.

You can ignore them. Same with all the disingenuous cunts who complain about wind turbines “spoiling the view” who ignore the coal and gas power stations that have littered the skyline for over a century.

Went to a clothes shop in Tenerife.

Unable to speak the lingo, the missus picked up a pair of jeans off a shelf.

“Are these for men or women, I can’t tell?”

I put my hand in the pocket. It stopped about 2cm in.

“These are women’s jeans”

Meanwhile, I can fit a full size Nintendo Switch in my cargo shorts pocket.

Isn’t this part of the plot of the later seasons of Silicon Valley?

Two bits of security software.

Makes me wonder if there’s been a concerted effort to hack these accounts, and some automated security process has locked them out.

If they think that will stop bombs, they’re very much mistaken.

Although I suspect the Iranian regime know that all too well, and that this will solidify people against the invaders. It’s hard to side with people who’ve just turned your family into mince.

It’s surprising how quickly they come as well.

I’ve seen perfectly normal people go from “I felt a bit ill after that COVID vaccination, I’ll look it up online” to spreading fake stories about immigrants and having opinions about Hunter Biden. Within months. They’re not even American.

This shit’s a fucking virus, and social media is the vector.

I’m sure it’s theoretically possible to not want to pay your fair share of taxes, while not dunking on any particular minority.

It’s rare though.
