Anaconda in a condescending disguise

Likely that Aphyr didn't want to comply with the requirements, so just blanket blocked the UK. Can't say I blame them, the act is very flawed.

Never Post does that sort of thing sometimes, maybe not as a specific segment though

I love the idea that someone'd commission that as a CGI, then look at what they produced and *pay for that slop*?? I'd immediately reject it on quality grounds, with the mask not fitting the face properly and the engine apparently being on fire (which is actually a great unintended metaphor tbh)

Oh ha, that's novel you've noted 🙈

Oh damn, "Sorcerer: The Game"! Nice, this'll be straight on my wishlist, love that intensity and unpredictability of that movie. Just had a search, turns out it's an adaptation of a French novel.

I really bloody wish nationalisation was the agenda. Gives the government a great choice at that point - drop prices, or keep them the same but use the money to find improvements, or to cover other tax shortfalls. I will never understand why our critical infrastructure funds foreign pension funds...

Hey, we managed to have a War of the Roses in England once! I would imagine it was somewhat more dreary and malnourished than this though, looks like a lovely day there

OH GOD, just realised I need a Nostromo Circular, all about the bonus situation!! Scrap the previous comment, pick this one

Xenomorph Was Alone when?

Yesssss!! Cannot wait for this :-D

Please, please, PLEASE drop it in an ironic turn-to-camera! It'll work so well I promise you, your British audience will wet themselves.

Oh man, SO ANNOYING.

Similar issue with a lot of industrial software, whole groups of buttons or menus may only appear or disappear depending on what device or dongle you've got connected. Makes troubleshooting a nightmare; can't tell if it's a real problem, or the software waiting for something!

Donated, all the best with this fella! They sound like absolute shitcunts, what a crap situation to be in. You deserve every bit of support, as do your neighbours.

*Mieville, curse you autocorrect

China Melville, "The City & The City"

It found me, and I love it *so damn much*. Never have I played a game with such a sense of "place", really makes you feel like you're there. Will never forget the first time I crested the hill to see the disassembled giant, or when that big frigate came into dock right above me!

@alexandraht.bsky.social - Just finished Metal Garden, what an amazing treat! You absolutely*nailed* the vibes, and the story/world is so intriguing. Really glad I came across it :)

It's interesting seeing what they've adjusted to adapt the format. Hard to get across a lot of the characterisation you would normally get when wandering around for hours in-game, those little barks and interactions.

Not as recent as requested, but Peter F Hamilton's "Commonwealth Saga" (Pandora's Star & Judas Unchained) and the standalone "Great North Road" I've recently re-read, and both are still excellent.

Yoooooo @jacobgeller.com let's go!!! Been looking forwards to this so much fella, kettle's on and time to start reading 😁

Oh damn man, I kinda needed this today tbh. Words to live by

Just got out of the Daft Punk screening, and it was awful 😭

They just slapped it through some "AI" "upscaler", and it looked *dogshit*. Blew out all the detail on all but the closest shots, figures/faces looked like murky messes and you couldn't barely read any of the tect.

What a shame.
