@mikegolicjr.bsky.social Halo 3 the birth of multiplayer? Oh my sweet summer child… [laughs in Quake, Unreal & Team Fortress] There’s only one game worth it from the 80s. SPACE HARRIER. In its hydraulic sit-in cabinet. I went to Alton Towers (a UK theme park) in ‘86, and it was the best ride there.

Looking at switching virus scanners. The current one, Avast, is hellbent on popups even when I've got them turned off. Scans keep giving me red flags which ALWAYS try to get me to go premium when I've rejected that time and again. One just said my mic (muted) and camera (NONEXISTENT) aren't secure.
Take a telling, Avast, or you can fuck right off.

The result that well over 95% of the global population wanted.

The other less than 5% mostly didn’t give a shit to start with. 

The Knicks lost the Finals game he turned up for, otherwise they’d have been on an unprecedented run through the later rounds of the NBA playoffs. He fucks about getting Infantino to reverse Balogun’s red card, not so much admitting he did it as DECLARING it, and BANG - instant karma.
