Wow, if this is their attitude to hard programming the next Unreal engine is going to be a disaster.....

'It has enemies, and tough bosses, and a name for health flask, and a leveling system that has been around since games began oh - and levels that you can go back to or get to early. No games has these, especially altogether!' Ah yes, the basics of an action adventure game. Got it.

Oh shit, the latest definition of 'soulslike' has dropped, and it's really changed since last time! No more 'dark fantasy setting' - been dropped so that 'another crabs treasure' can be claimed as 'soulslike' and made even more vague and meaningless!

Yeah, I wanted to give her a chance at first, but she's saying what she thinks people want to hear, whilst acting the total opposite. Just an absolute mess and from the outside it seems to only be getting worse

Was inevitable with Sweeney's recent comments on steams approach to AI, combined with Tencent stake. Still, it'll keep afloat with idiots lapping up fortnight crossover slop

I assume at some point Jose will throw another little temper tantrum over this perfectly valid red card. I'll never understand players who do this stuff, they obviously know they've done it because it was an action they committed, yet react utterly outraged at being caught out.

Wow, Netflix are doing so well they've had to put the option to log out of your account under 'get help' to try and really hide it away and confuse people. Unreal.

It's like people thinking that if they write into the mod readme 'ask permission before using this mod in a pack'. Why? It's something you've made available for anyone to use? I get asking for credit as the dev of said mod, but asking permission to use it in a pack? You're not a AAA studio!

Copyright claims on a mod. Where you are modifying someones game. You've been making money off (indirectly) even though you had nothing to do with the base game people have to buy. Just pathetic.

Good to see the minecraft modding world is still full of ego driven children who think that they can pretend to be a big studio and throw their weight around to ruin the fun. You made a mod. You abandoned it. Someone else picked it up. Get over yourselves. It's a mod.

Less than 5% of people in the UK paid IHT in 23-24 tax year, as is standard Tory practice this only benefits the rich but is pushed as if it helps everyone.

Imagine the number of absolutely amazing games you've missed out on playing if your attitude is 'I only play for graphics', I can't wrap my head around it. Like only watching a movie if it has CGI and loads of big bangs, missing out on SO much good stuff.

I see Man City fans have pivoted from the pre-guilty judgement 'We didn't break the rules, you are all just jealous' to 'well the rules are massively flawed and unfair anyway'

When I worked at Pru this was part of conversations quiite frequently - triple lock is totally unsustainable and that (as well as state pension, eventually) will have to go as it's one of the few ways to 'fix' welfare budget, but good luck to whoever a) proposes this and b) gets it through!

Why do people take low quality, crap pictures with their phone cams and share on socials instead of using F12/print screen on THE PC YOU ARE USING and then upload the picture? Then they get upset when you say 'that's a crap pic, I can't see what you're talking about?' So weird

I love how spell check will insist that hust is a word and not change it to just, but typing well, it keeps changing to we'll - how is autocorrect getting progressively worse?!? Assuming it'll be connected to AI, like everything that goes wrong....

So this game called "Dverghold" came across my Steam homepage. Interesting retro vibes, apparently collabing with a dungeon synth artist for the OST. The art was kinda tickling my AI-dar though, so I scrolled down to look for any disclaimers.

I love it when peoples personal feelings/judgements mean that they immediately assume everyone else does/thinks like them ''me think Google bad, whole world must think Google bad'' - the reality, of course, is that nearly 70% of installed browsers are still Chrome.

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... Ah, it's this point of the 'we had a chance and we dropped the ball' cycle - no one, literally NO ONE is asking for England to play 'like Spain', asking England to not sit as deep as possible and throw on defenders until we loose is NOT ''play like Spain''

Football news: Anthony Gordon urges England to stop trying to replicate Spain
Anthony Gordon says that controlling games is not in the "English DNA" but the Three Lions could still win major tournaments if they stop "trying to replicate Spain".

And he's not sorry to customers, he never is, he's sorry that the money making machine is unable to generate money right now. If he was sorry, he'd make sure that his shitty company had more than 1 rail replacement bus per hour for a line that ran 5 trains an hour!

This prick better be the first out the fucking door when GWR is nationalised - absolute waste of space that shows his face when he's forced to because there's been a 24h+ issues or if there's champagne and lobster on offer - been useless since he returned to GWR, as he was before he left!

Genuinely, whoever decided that 'right click - make desktop shortcut' needs to live under 'more options' instead of being one of the first options you see needs to be fired. From a cannon. In to the sun.

When people ask why I refuse to upgrade to Windows 11 my simple answer is this 'try to make a desktop shortcut', and no - dragging the program file from it's folder to your desktop so it no longer lives in the folder and the program freaks out cause it can't find it isn't an acceptable answer'

Terrifying to see the MAGA brain virus spreading more and more over here 'the officials are lying because they're not saying what I want to believe, I believe the made up stories generated by AI bots because they feed my inbuilt delusions and prejudices' 'nobody knows' - no, just idiots like you.

Sort of idiots that post things on FB like 'take me back to when this country had balls' and photo's of D-Day underneath, but when you point out the bile they've been spewing means they'd be on the Nazi side they can't seem to process it and just shout about being a patriot

Buster_5265 @buster5265.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
One big problem is a lot of these people that support these parties/ideas do not understand politics or how it works, they claim they'd have 'served on the front line' in WW2, but they don't realise that instead of being on the Allies side, they'd be fighting for the Axis.

Buster_5265 @buster5265.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
This, this this and then this. I always grew up wondering how fascism spread leading up to WW2 and it's genuinely surreal to look around and go 'oh, this is how it happened, just slower and without social media', deeply concerning.

Also, lets not beat around the bush here - they aren't 'fake quotes', they are lies, and they are peddled by liars who have blue ticks and get paid on engagement numbers, so will KEEP lying because no one stops them - as a lot of these blue tick accounts do.

Buster_5265 @buster5265.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
People acting like 'fake quotes' are a new thing in football - still waiting for someone that quotes the 'if I have to make a tackle, I have made a mistake' line to show me where that quote is from. That's before you start looking at the fake Maradona quotes over the year....

Sagal Abdi-Wali has contributed more to this country than Zia Yusuf or his scummy little supporters/enablers will ever do - you can say that for nearly everyone in Reform, they are just the absolute worse - if it wasn't for Restore you'd say they're bottom of the barrel

It truly is astonishing that this is the media cycle now - fake outrage on social media sites causes news stories, which then lead to more fake outrage and then more social media stories from more 'respected' outlets. People wonder why gaming 'journalism' isn't taken seriously......
