I’m not USian so just knowing his name doesn’t tell me much. Is he funny?

I don’t know who this is. Bill Burr according to the comments. I still don’t know who he is.

My people.

Man, I love a Bloody Mary. But a really good Virgin Mary is still glorious.

Keep taking it day by day, brother or sister.

I’m investing in seed potatoes.

But the burlap does chafe me so!

iPhone 4 was my favourite iPhone. It wasn’t too big and it felt great in the hand.

I feel, at this point, that you are ChatGPT. “You’re right, 16 isn’t a prime number, good catch!”

Pffft. Changing the clocks was so last week!

Fuckin’ whooshed over the lot of them.

Milky milky.

I once came to understand the answer to the classic: “Show me the face you had before your parents were born.” koan. One of the most amazing experiences of my life - the golden needle penetrated the veil of my mind.

I could tell you my answer but it would seem trivial and uninteresting. The answer has to be experienced to be grokked (fuck you, Elon). Plus also, perhaps the answer would be different for different people. Now, if only I could work out the sound of one hand fapping…

Medium weight atomic weaponry should take care of that.

I’m knocking on the door of 60 but this has always been an idle daydream of mine.

As I’ve got older I’ve come to realise a. that I’m no longer young enough to be the heroic, plucky survivor of my teenage daydreams, and b. just how utterly horrific societal collapse would be.

Tesla drivers I see fall into 3 categories:

• 2017 or older: fair enough, and credit for moving to EVs so early!
• 2018-2023: er, Elon seems like kind of a twat. Are you sure? The whole Thai cave thing? But, you know, some benefit of the doubt.
• 2024+: You are supporting a literal Nazi.

AMAZING!!!

Thank you!

Sure, but with ‘decompiled/recompiled’ games apparently not breaching copyright, you’ll be able to get GTA 6ish without having to worry about torrent clients and magnets and seeds and all that super complex stuff that most people just don’t want to deal with.

If, a week after GTA 6 comes out at £70/£90, Big Stealing Cars 6 comes out at only £20 and is 90% as good… where’s the money going?

Why would they waste time and brain developing their own games when they can just piggyback on someone else’s creativity that’s had proven success in the market place?

This is very conflicting.

I daily a macbook, and so games aren’t that readily available. To be able to play something like the original Syndicate (1993, SNES and other platforms) or Shadow Hearts: Covenant (2004, PlayStation 2) on my mac would be awesome. I’m very much a patient gamer, so there are so many old titles I’d very, very happily play through again.

But there’s no way this would be restricted to old, dead platform games.

AAA games now cost millions or even, according to GTA 6 rumours, over a billion to make. If a studio publishes a game, and a week later there’s a free AI clone of it, then there is no more AAA games industry. Actually, that also follows for some of the awesome indie games I’ve loved and enjoyed. How can you make money selling copies of your game if there’s a free, or massively undercut, version of it available? Obviously most gamers would like to support creators, but in this economy? They’d probably rather eat and pirate games.

Pirate.
