I completely forgot about the new look of Firefox until I came into work and was forced to restart my PC to get my Bluetooth headphones working....

I hate when I'm using Firefox and it updates and then it looks different because I like things looking the same.

So now onto Part 2 of this saga, I don't have a credit card I don't want to get one either they are shit, but I do have a VISA bank card which I shouldn't use for online purchasing, can I use that in place and not have it as a payment option?

Mark @deviousmalcontent.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

What I learnt from all of this experience is that some of the games I own aren't really that violent because they don't require age restriction, and I should really go out and buy more violent video games while I still have time.

My government doesn't consist of bright people (I get that), this is probably just as frustrating for valve as it is for the majority of the player base, /

Steam store page in a web browser advising the following product Call of Duty®: Black Ops III, is now age restricted material, the text on the page reads: "Valve is required by the Age-Restricted Material App Distribution Services Code to verify that you are 18 or older before accessing mature content. If you wish to do so, please add a valid Australian credit card to your account and afterwards update the Mature Content Preferences."

With a button below that saying "Add a credit card to this account".

I want to get one of these spent pallets, remove the holographic sticker and stick an SBC\LCD with speaker and have it play every episode of The Simpsons (by which I mean seasons 1 to 14), and have it comfort me like a teddy bear or lull me into a catatonic state while I drift off to sleep...

When I got my 2080 TI GPU back in 2020? It came with a copy of Anthem, among other games, never actually got around to playing it, now I can't lol. I don't tend to buy live service games, and this is always a good reminder why.

The EA play client delivering the bad news that the game anthem has been removed from my library, dialogue box with text saying "Anthem is no longer downloadable or playable through the EA app."

My greatest fear for GTA 6 is that there will be ubisoft sewage levels of DRM or a massive age-assurance turd that will stink the whole thing up during the online activation process. Funny to think that being a requirement for a game franchise that I first played when I was 10.

SiN Reloaded Demo was awesome! Big chunky graphics still look very good in 2026, and the most heartbreaking realisation was that the original Unreal game won't get the same treatment.

Spotify was an *OK* service with its quirks (I won't say it was ever great, but it was OK at best), that was until the app stop working a few minutes ago, and I could not login to it anymore, Now I just miss the days of owning music on my PC, I guess I'll just WMP for a while... 🤷‍♂️ RIP Spotify.

One thing Microsoft can do to start getting more money out of Copilot users is have it start asking for tips, once it completes simple and mundane tasks, people already hate it, so it won't be any worse than what it already is.

Trying to access OneDrive from the web via work email, you click on the 9-dot menu on the top right-hand side of the screen, like I've done so for the last 10 years, except the OneDrive icon is surprisingly absent, instead I get Microsoft 365 Copilot and more apps.
