I've undertaken a momentous task today at PC Gamer, where I'm chronicling my search for the Least Probable Goku on Nexus Mods using a patented Saiyan Singularity Judgment (SSJ) scoring system. I do this not for me, but for all of us. www.pcgamer.com/games/live/n...

Really grinds my gears how windows apps can steal focus in such a way that alt-F4 does nothing. I turn off my computer by smashing alt-f4 until the shutdown menu comes up, and you're getting in my way! I'll smash you! Raaghghgh

"You could just watch something else from Vincent D'Onofrio's body of work," but he's big in this one. He's massive. It's like you don't understand film at all

nige 'dear ratboy' @niall.codes · 25/09/2026

The problem with having taste is that sooner or later you run out of patience for the MCU, but Vincent D'Onofrio is still in it. So you're stuck

It's called film "footage" because camera operators initially held the cameras with their feet. That changed after a film shoot in 1931, when an operator got a foot cramp and was forced to hold the camera in his hands. The "footage" he got that day was extraordinary. That man's name? Hans Cameraman.

i've started to learn blender and i gotta say, it's resulted in some really boring anecdotes. to take one example, yesterday i intended to keyframe-shift an object to 15.5 on the z-axis, but mistakenly entered 15.5 on the y-axis instead! thankfully i realized and corrected my mistake some time later
