Has there ever been a Doctor Who story about people substituting human capabilities with machine replacements that lack any genuine human feeling or emotion? If they did, remind me, was it good or bad?

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

I feel like admitting I still use Twitter might be a faux pas here ... but the remaster of The Witcher 3 is out now, and I think my thread about playing the game back in 2020-21 was mildly amusing, and I'm not going to repost it all again, so HERE IT IS. x.com/ThomasJohnMu...

I wasn't expecting a Canoness from the Adepta Sororitas to show up in an episode of As Time Goes By - but now that I think about it, I'm convinced that every sitcom should try it at least once.

A screenshot from the TV show As Time Goes By, series 7 episode 6. After giving the main characters some advice regarding an imminent party they're about to throw, Phylis Loader adds, "Any trouble, use the flame-thrower."

I'll admit it; my happiness for the critical success of Ace Combat 8 is 10% directed to the people who actually made the game, and 90% to my eternal hope that aerial combat games will become so popular that the G-Police games get a remaster and/or sequel.

Replaying Rebirth, I noticed that Aerith doesn't have any dialogue prior to this (optional) interaction, so this was probably her first utterance in the game for a lot of players.

#SFFChat You can't go wrong with the classic stories by Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams, they were geniuses. I read a lot of Indies atm. I really enjoy when my author friends add in little tidbits just for fun. A character's name, or ship, or place that I know from things. I find those amusing.

When I finally got a PS4, I tried a lot of games that people online recommended: GTA5 and RDR2, The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, Yakuza and Sleeping Dogs, Skyrim and Control ... most of which are fine, but none of them came close to challenging my beloved Metal Gears and Mass Effects.

Up to the age of 11-12, it was probably a close-run thing between anything by Enid Blyton, the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, and Willard Price's Adventure series. Then I stumbled onto the Discworld books, and they were left competing for second place.

To be honest, Revelation is probably my most anticipated game, too ... but it feels a bit silly to pick the same game, and there are lots of promising competitors, so let's go with another RPG instead:
