  • It feels completely natural to me, but I think it is unintuitive, and games which feature it without explaining it are disadvantaging people with less gaming literacy.

    It’s similar to the mechanic in shooting games, where reloading while there is at least one bullet in the gun results in a faster reload (because the gun doesn’t need to be cocked).

    It’s realistic, but I feel that it should be ignored, in the same way each bullet from the old mag magically transfers into a new mag.





  • Before today I had no idea what a Skibidi Toilet was, and now I’ve got close to two hours of content under my belt.

    I’m genuinely impressed by the attempt to tell an overarching narrative through “found footage” from multiple authors witnessing a war with rapidly advancing technology, with the trimmings of conspiracy, infighting and betrayal, all without words, and no more than 3 emotes (thumbs up, zoomer dance, finger wag).

    I can’t say that it’s good by any means, other than as a display of talent for animation and direction.

    Still, I have no idea how they could pull this off.

    Sure, our timeline is fucked, and the weirdest shit happens all the time. But a profitable movie about sentient toilet heads in a war against camera heads is not on a single persons bingo card.



  • For me, it was Trump.

    I used to hate him, but after he lost the presidency, I realised how empty my life was without him.

    From 2016 to 2020, every morning I would wake up with a smile on my face while I read the latest, dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. Each day was progressively more unhinged than the day before.

    He was the perfect receptacle of my endless rage. Sure, he was the source of the rage in the first place, but the combination of infuriation and bewilderment was cathartic.
