Thirtysomething dad living in Oxford. This is a dumping ground for my thoughts about video games or whatever movie I just watched.
I'm not easily shocked by the cynicism of our right-wing press but to see how the Telegraph and the Mail have been gleefully spinning Brand's conviction and the pain of his victims as belonging to The Left... It is quite something.

Been playing the original Tomb Raider (remastered, as it was on sale the other day) and I've gotta say this is delightful—and FUNNY. Lara has the Arc of the Covenant in her front room. In the third level you discover dinosaurs that survived extinction and you have to immediately shoot them dead.
How come when you look up something from a video game the first search result is always a Fandom wiki loaded with adverts and annoying pop up videos? Then the second or third result is a different wiki that has the information you want with much less intrusive ads or none at all.
This is nuts! Surely you don't invest in an attraction like this unless you expect it to have a lifespan longer than five years. Would they even recoup the cost in that time? Anyway, we're all waiting for The Horrible Stuff to be made public. Hopefully while he's still able to face consequences...

I picked up Planet Zoo 2 on launch but haven't played much because there's an annoying bug that I want them to fix first. They've released a few patches but haven't even confirmed this particular bug. Several people have reported it! It's frustrating. A little insight into my sad life for you there
JUST ONE SMALL PROBLEM. WHY IS THE DRAM LIMITED SAM?

Fair cop. Pop culture of the late aughts into the early teens had truly rancid vibes. "Woahohaohoh it's always a good time" ass music all the way down.

Most of the bands I was into as a teenager have had at least one shit record by now if they're still making music, but not CHVRCHES. High hopes for album number five!

Did one day painting wood boards in a freezing cold warehouse almost two hours' bus ride from the flatshare I was living in. Thankfully didn't need the money *that* much.

I'm a dozen or so chapters into Northanger Abbey and I have to hand it to Jane Austin for creating the most "this fucking guy" character ever in the form of Mr. Thorpe.
Disco Elysium's premise (murder mystery where the detective has amnesia) is really sold by the character of Kim Kitsuragi—the detective who does not care that his new partner has amnesia. Such a funny dynamic.

Looks pretty cool. I don't understand the comments complaining that this isn't book-accurate or whatever. We've already had at least two pretty straightforward live action adaptations of Narnia! Let her cook.

After you beat Dark Souls and the credits have rolled it puts you straight into New Game+ and I just... kept going. This was a massive pain in the butt. I need to take a short break from video games...

This is a great video. The conclusions that he draws are a bit different to how I imagine the Thing to work, but it's fun to see him reach those conclusions from such detailed analysis of the movie. Very cool interpretation.

I've been using Tabletop Simulator to play War of the Ring on my lunch break with a pal who also works from home. It can take hrs to finish a game, so we split them over several sessions; this is a good way to play a game that I wouldn't have time for otherwise, but terrible for my mental wellbeing.
Today's moan: I had to ring a helpline this morning and talk to a robot before it would put me through to a human, but before I could even talk to the robot I had to waste a minute listening to it tell me to hang up and try their online chatbot instead. Butlerian Jihad when?
This is turning me into the Joker. You can buy a real PS1 on eBay (often with games!) for half the price of this Lego set. Scratch that, you can buy a PS2—which is backwards compatible with PS1 games—gaining you access to an enormous library of classics. Who buys these things!?

Just got around to finishing S3 of Daredevil. I'm not really going to criticise the show for sticking to the "if we kill him we're just as bad as him" bit, but it is particularly funny to try and pull that off right after Fisk goes apeshit and kills like forty innocent people with his bare hands.
