iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Yesterday: “Football is unsustainable.” Today: “Champions Arsenal plan redundancies.”

Dr Hank McCoy - working on some kind of ethical shampoo. Gambit - on every podcast ad telling us the odds for [insert sport here]. Morph - works at a temp agency. Can basically fill in for whoever is on leave. Jubilee - inverse of the question, but probably not in any kind of electrical store...

"have invention on new IP" Hi-Fi Rush was a success and Microsoft still wanted to close Tango Gameworks. I know that wasn't Sharma, but you'll forgive anyone who follows the industry, let alone works in it, for holding a 'I don't know about that one, champ' type position around these things.

A rare moment of quality in an otherwise dire game. #NUFC in a huge hole now against probably the weakest team in the PL.

It’s shit but doesn’t come as a complete surprise because the obsession with AI in the investor class remains strong - gonna be ‘real fun’ to see who is left standing when this pyramid scheme collapses though. Not just financially but also in terms of ability to attract human talent again.

Mmmhmm. I can only assume Nicole Kidman was the rose in question in Batman Forever. Or maybe Jim Carrey.

As well as having one of the Big Six found guilty of one of the worst cases of cheating in the history of sport, the Premier League has also had four of those six teams play each other this weekend, and those games were shit. A dog piss return to action for the league.

Trump should have been made a pariah on the political stage already. All the state visits, the handshakes, the attention when he speaks. A man with no credibility or conscience has been able to operate as if these things are normal. We say 'maybe today will be the day' because what else do we have?

I, too, love to purchase companies older than most nations, with names that are known to multiple generations of people all over the world, and then get rid of the names and replace them with the name of a thing nobody gives a shit about.

That part I am open-ended with - I appreciate there are different interpretations, and I am open to whatever. I really liked Oxenfree, for example, or as noted in OP if there's something along the lines of Alien: Isolation but without the really stressful bit... 😆

Any recommendations for creepy walking sim type games? I'm thinking Alien: Isolation minus the xenomorph type thing 😆 because I loved exploring Sevastopol, but man I could do without that bug ass thing creeping up on me.

Can somewhat empathise with the French students who think their classrooms look like shit while billions of [insert currency here] go into the pyramid schemes at OpenAI and co., and shit heads like Musk continue to see their personal wealth grow. Inequality and imbalance more apparent every day.

Tapping into Band of Brothers success by doing The Pacific another excellent way around such things - keeps it contained still but with the marketing value of ‘from the makers of’

Sometimes it's as simple as a beloved show targeting a different audience to its normal one. Other times it's things like housing benefit. But if it's not *for them* you bet your ass some people will let you know about it in the most obnoxious way possible.

There was one player in particular I was stunned to find didn't make it to 60 caps - especially as his career continued for seven-years after his last cap (he made it to 53, name deliberately redacted so as not to spoil anyone else's fun)

That the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport has basically been AWOL since taking office in 2024 is incredibly frustrating (to put it politely) - even just from an 'there's some political easy wins to be had here' standpoint Nandy could have done something. But no, just silent

The lack of anyone in the government - or indeed any political party - standing up to campaign on behalf of our absolutely world-leading arts and culture sectors is just truly stupefying. These are industries where the UK actually _is_ a superpower, and yet we have silence...
