"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

Am on the verge of finishing Nate Crowley’s excellent Twice-Dead King Omnibus, another banger 40K series. I love reading about necrons. There’s so much humour in their hierarchies and immortality, and the themes about sense of self and mental decay are always ideal fodder for mid-life pontification.

As long as you include a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence in support of all of your positions and/or put political pressure on the prime minister of Reddit you should be fine 🤞

During our time on Eurogamer, Ellie Gibson constantly and correctly advocated for a review score system of “wicked or shit”.

The plastic tat that comes with that £350 GTA VI collector's edition is incredible. It looks like one of those My Little Pony magazines my kids used to get that comes with a toy. And it doesn't include the game! Amazing stuff Rockstar, no notes. Put me back on the blacklist, IDGAF

Excited about Control Resonant. This is normal and fine. Normal. However, I keep looking at the download progress bar and singing “Happy biiiirthday Mr Resonaaant” like I’m Marilyn Monroe and I have to accept this is not normal.

I should be thrilled by this news but honestly it tastes like ashes. You sacked everyone and told us it was dead! And now because people kept playing anyway and Marathon’s a disaster you’re going back to the well? So cynical, so depressing. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/we-inte...

I did all the customer support for Vlambeer and I didn't even install a permanent atmosphere of fear and distrust inside the company by announcing 2,000 future layoffs amidst 2,000 immediate layoffs like some weird Hunger Games-esque reign of terror situation, but I guess IGN wanted to do propaganda

Ah that’s a shame about the controls. I’m playing on PC and it’s generally been very slick apart from a few minor camera issues these games always seem to have.

Guardian story isn't much better. Apparently it's "AI-exposed sectors" responsible for the growth. That's not really the same thing as AI directly boosting the economy though, is it? But that's what you say in the headline?

Tom Bramwell @brrrammers.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

If it's an AI boom after four years of this shit, shouldn't we be seeing a bit more than maybes and kindas and 0.4% and stuff? Shouldn't this stuff be saving the world rather than burning it up so we can generate pictures of the Ewoks at The Last Supper with six fingers each?

Tom Bramwell @brrrammers.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

BBC with another comedy AI story. "AI boom" boosts economy says the banner headline. Companies with high turnover "appear to be involved with AI" says somebody, but apparently it's "difficult to quantify the exact impact of AI". But apparently not difficult enough to preclude an AI BOOM headline?

The iPhone Duo price seems mental until you realise it’s not priced so you can actually own it, and that everything will be like this before too long. You’ll never own a PlayStation 6.

Tom Bramwell @brrrammers.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I feel like every time I go to the BBC News site there's some PR post for OpenAI or Anthropic masquerading as serious news on AI. Just because one of these IPO-chasing dipshit companies posts a blog saying how magical and dangerous their tech is doesn't mean you have to breathlessly write it up.

This is pretty catastrophic and I'm not sure how either of these companies reverse the trend. It really appears the AI bubble is based on the whims of maybe a few hundred companies spending money on two companies to justify five companies spending money with one company.

I still find the sums involved mind blowing. OpenAI loses billions a year but needs to have like three times as much revenue as *Microsoft* by the end of the decade, with a declining product all it has. Stuff like that.
