Every generation hubris afflicts one first party console dev which gives the next generation to someone else. Nintendo killing the Sony co-dev launched the Ps1. Arrogance and a clumsy architecture on the ps3 gave the Gen to the 360. Then ‘always online’ gave it back…
The final season of The Bear is the biggest fall from grace I’ve ever seen on tv. Two seasons were amazing, the next two were confused. And the final one is a cross between the structure of the Pitt, the music and lighting of Industry and … Bladerunner?
It sucks and they should do better but Nintendo paid the tariff, we just paid a higher price. If we agree to the higher price and pay it then it’s true they don’t us anything legally. Morally maybe another thing.
This is the worst intro to a world Cup final ever. Just interminable tedium. And why does Tom Cruise turn up at any sporting event in the US? Is he the only disconnected celeb they can dig up? I am terrified of half rime. Just play football!
This is amazing. If you were wondering what's happened to Infowars since the Onion bought it.

The most foolish part of announcing 'future' layoffs, is that your best people, the people who are most mobile, are the most likely to leave in advance. Even if you weren't going to cut them. So you will lose not only those you fire, but also many of those you wanted to retain.
You could play as Dave in Revenge of the Savage Planet! Now, if you buy Dave the Diver in the Jungle… you may run across some old friends from distant planets who have some fresh tasks for you… and you can grab them both as a bundle on Steam!
What is this utter insanity. The amazing Mick McMahon drew.... Sonic comics? This is melting my brain a little.

Duncan Jones@manmademoon.bsky.social · 4mo agoI see this haircut everywhere. My son says it's called a broccoli. Unless its blond, in which case I assume it's a cauliflower. But my question is: do all these boys know they're asking the hairdresser for a perm? And... are they aware that this is what grandma also asks for?
If you’re wondering what it’s like to read user reviews on Steam at the moment, then it’s like this.
I don't think I'm overstating it when I say I am ECSTATIC to be flying from Montreal through La Guardia on my way to Seattle to watch Iran play Egypt in the Pride Match of the World Cup soon. I'll pack some extra de-icer in case the weather is inclement.
