I bought the Last of Us 2 upgrade, so I can’t really criticise anyone buying this, but I’ve played this game to it’s absolute death - had every conversation, completed every mission, even played through on the hardest difficulty to get all the trophies - so I can’t imagine ever playing it again. It’s Guerrilla Games’ own fault - if they hadn’t made it so good, they could have had an extra tenner from me.

Crikey - it was only added a few hours ago and it’s already all kicking off on their GitHub’s Issues page.

Had no familiarity with this, so assumed Florence Pugh’s character was male from this poster (not that any that matters, of course).

Oh, well, that’s put me off Alien: Romulus a bit, to be honest. I kind of hate these call-backs, especially when there’s no sophistication to them (I can forgive the “I’ve got a bad feeling …” in Rogue One, but am utterly bored of hearing it in other Star Wars output).

The ominous side to all this, is that when films become entirely about referencing themselves, they stop being about anything else. Sci-fi works best when there’s an analogy for something that exists in our lives, and offers an opinion on that matter. For example, Lucas has argued that the Ewoks in RotJ represented the Viet Cong, which is a bit clumsy, but it’s better than the sequels, that only seek to represent earlier iterations of Star Wars.

Man, imagine if you were one of the ‘Bright Ones’, and you were trekking up to see the ‘New Castle’, and you’d heard it was in the land ‘north of the Humber’, and thought “can’t be much further now” when you got the The Humber.

I watched the Quiblr video - that’s an impressive frontend. Something about it makes me instantly forget that it exists, so I hope other people don’t have that problem, because it deserves the attention.

I haven’t watched this vid but felt I should point out that it’s provided by a YouTube channel called ‘The Anti-Feminist’, for which the bio reads:

Videos exposing the lies, deceptions and evil of feminism & women today, along with their messed up psychology, warped self centered views, delusional so called “thinking”, and really purely insane mindset that women have, … I have studied the female psyche in great detail, done years and years of research and is trying get the real truth about feminism, women, female games, their corrupted nature, marriage, the laws and more out to as many men as possible

I think I’ve finally fully mourned the loss of the ‘Marathon’ name to the clearly inferior ‘Snickers’ - bring 'em back at the size Marathons bars were, that’d be a thing!

We may need to ask world to upgrade their storage capacity so we can fit all this man’s egregious deception on.

Unherd isn’t Twitter (although you can find the same TERFs in both places). Info about site: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/UnHerd

This is like when supermarkets put the short-dated food in the ‘reduced’ section: I kinda always expect it to be ‘was £3, now 30p’, but it’s usually ‘was £3, now £2.89’

£390 is so close to the retail price for new, that if was going to get one, I’d probably just do that.

I didn’t watch the debate, but I would’ve if I’d known it was a rap battle.

“Don’t have anything monetary, per se” - I can relate.

I’ve climbed that! In Assassin’s Creed I mean. I’ve also killed a lot of people.

All the other comments except from that one are from alien.top (Reddit users turned into bots), which your instance is defederated from.

I listened to the track at https://lemm.ee/post/41528735 (listentothis community) the other day, then had to listen again today 'cos it was stuck in head.

You’re not kidding. Arriving from the UK into Sydney airport - the heat was unbelievable, but when I was in Melbourne, there was a question of ‘wait? is this weather … shit?’
