The Flaws system in The Outer Worlds 2 is fucking brilliant (and hilarious). I now have to save every few moments in case I automatically steal something thanks to the Klepto flaw. My knees pop when I go into stealth. I have 15 seconds to make a dialogue choice. Perfect, no notes.

both were names given to them by corporate marketers using them as brand evangelists

ragtime burn, nice

We're rewatching all the Fridays (bad) and the Nightmares (mixed) at the moment, and I'm so keen to get to New Nightmare for the meta take.

I wish we'd collectively stop referring to creativity and entertainment as "content," it devalues the work that goes into it and results in something implied to be consumed instead of enjoyed. Don't be a content creator, be an entertainer.

The Butlerian Jihad must have sucked for guys who just bought a new computer

reframing pirating movies and tv shows as "expanding my personal llm's dataset"

(I'm not happy about the news but they've been profits over people for a very long time so I'm not surprised)

me waking up remembering that I still have EA shares

times I've died in combat in borderlands 4: about 23

times I've died because j threw a tediore grenade gun too close to a wall accidentally: 8,436

This is sick!

can Lego people eat Lego or is that too close to the gingerbread man/house fable

Just realised I forgot to take my meds this morning, which is weirdly positive because I feel "normal" enough that it's not the first thing on my mind when I wake up, which means they're working as intended.

"Have you finished working out?" my watch asks, as I chew the last bite of my pink donut.

I've never heard of Rusty Lake, what's the elevator pitch?

Forgotten Saga - but I really enjoyed all the DLC

Rogue is great, but released the same year as Unity(?) so it got overshadowed. Like a mini-Black Flag sequel

I really enjoyed Valhalla! The roguelite DLC is a lot of fun too

Excellent, I'll give it a look. I'm doing alright! Enjoying mountain life (when it's not raining 😂)

Oooh I do like a cosy farm game

I've watched a few playthroughs of this! It looks like a blast!

What are you playing at the moment that you're really enjoying?

jesus fuck that's bleak.

I'm a few seasons behind but just read a synopsis of that ep, I'll have to check it out!

I struggle with any sort of sci-fi that has cybernetic body enhancements nowadays because it's impossible to imagine a world where the corporations making them wouldn't charge exorbitant subscription fees so you could use your eyes

MORPHEUS: They're coming for you, Neo. I can guide you, but you must do exactly as I say. Take the elevator to the lobby and go to the CVS across the street. Purchase 5 Steam gift cards at $200 each. Scratch off the protective coating on the back and tell me the fifteen digit redemption codes. Hurry

I didn't know that was a stereotype

Showing children of the future the unacceptable hair rendering on the left to explain why we had to get rid of the rainforest.

Watching Alien vs Predator and the Pyramid two kilometres under the Antarctic ice is COVERED in spiderwebs. You know, from all those Antarctic spiders. 2km under the ice.

That was part of the plan! And Predator: Badlands last this year.

All five Predator movies down. Prey (2023) still the best by far, then the OG (1987), then weirdly The Predator (2018) because it was great until the last 20 minutes, then I guess Predators (2010) only because no one would believe the cast is real, and finally 2 (1990) which is bad.
