- Comment on Dormant Assets Scheme: Allocating £350 million for England 1 week ago:
They do very little when the issue is massive wealth inequality and the hoarding of wealth by very few. This spends around £15 per person. It’s doing diddly squat.
- Comment on Steam's Halloween Sale is here with some frightful deals 3 weeks ago:
If you haven’t played What Remains Of Edith Finch, and you like games with an excellent narrative, treat yourself and get it. It’s a short game, you can complete it in an evening, but the story it tells is beautiful.

Just a bit more rainforest, no one will notice.
- Comment on FAQ: Yes We Suppirt Kinect 5 weeks ago:
Until recently I worked for a big telecoms company as a software engineer. We had time set aside for self development and non-work projects. Originally it was half a day a week, but we found it better to be a day every fortnight.
You could learn a new programming language or tool, build something just for fun or something you thought was useful for the team (we built a custom dashboard with notices etc., a quiz engine for weekly quizzes), or add functionality to a project that wasn’t specced or requested, but you thought could add value.
After a while, a department wide code wars league was set up to challenge and learn, we had a yearly Easter egg hunt that involved solving puzzles to find prizes, people did lightning talks to teach things that they’d learnt, workshops, etc.
So much knowledge, skill and confidence was added to the team that was worth way more than what we’d do on any normal day. I’d recommend it to any technical team to try something similar.

- Comment on Players are now less "accepting" that games will be fixed, say Paradox, after "underestimating" the reaction to Cities: Skylines 2's performance woes 1 month ago:
Don’t forget Final Fantasy XIV. That game got a full rewrite, top to bottom and came out far better than its original state.

Ah, following in Wakefield’s steps. Good to see the grifters and charlatans don’t change, but it is sad that people keep falling for it.

- Comment on Box Office Update: Transformers One and The Substance struggling to find an audience 1 month ago:
Lionsgate is just going to get worse, based on the news that they’re looking at AI for creating storyboards, removing that avenue of creativity and funneling it into a system of mediocrity that the entire rest of the production is then based on.

- Comment on Things Have Gone From Bad To Worse For Borderlands At The Box Office - Lots of people are going to lose lots of money on Borderlands 2 months ago:
From what I heard, this is the result of risk aversion. The poor editing is because they cut out a lot of the violence that was shot and didn’t have anything to fill the runtime with, hence the reshoots. I can’t wait for the inevitable What Happened on this film to see how bad it was.

Moguri mod works great on the Steam deck. It’s a bit of a learning curve to get it installed, but there’s a guide that will take you through the entire process, and it will teach you some about the more niche features of the deck.

New Every Frame a Painting after 7 years! I’m there for it. Love his essays.
- Comment on Hotly anticipated 'Black Myth: Wukong' is delayed on Xbox Series X|S — and now, Microsoft has responded 4 months ago:
The problem is the Series S sold a lot, last I read it was about two thirds of their user base. Microsoft also want to push platform independence using X Cloud, which solves their Series S issues, but with the feature parity requirement in the Series X and S, they keep hitting this issue.

- Comment on Even the fish are turning soy 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 I couldn't even edge my skibdi to this one 5 months ago:
It’s not. Plant estrogens have a similar structure to human estrogen, but do not work the same in the human body. You can tell this is true because otherwise trans women would be downing soy milk like there was no tomorrow.

I’m guessing this is the Jason X version, which was Jason in space, so obviously he had to be styled in brushed aluminium.

If you like that, check out Swiss Army Man. It’s by the same directors of Everything, Everywhere All At Once, and it’s fantastic.

The human sphincter can stretch to 7 inches in diameter. A raccoon can squeeze into 4 inches. You do the math and draw your own conclusions.

- Comment on higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs 1 year ago:
At its core, the service charge is about driving change in our industry – helping ensure our business can thrive in challenging economic environments and compensating each member of our team in a more equitable way – in a way that uniformly increasing our food prices doesn’t allow for.
I don’t understand what the difference is between adding the service charge and increasing prices. Literally no justification for this, just a “trust us, bro”.
