Really like the fact it looks like you'll be able to explore underwater too. Really hope they bring back being able to ride Pokémon so I can swim about on Lapras or Gyarados.

I'm glad these all look cool cause with my bf being the bigger Pokémon fan he'll get to choose first and I won't be too fussed about the leftovers.

I feel like I'm leaning toward Gecqua though, that's a fun name to say too.

Some quick Pokémon etymology (Pokétymology?) here:

Pombon = Pomeranian + Bonfire

Gecqua = Gecko + Aqua

Browt = He's just got Big Fucking Brows. Just look at him. He looks like a Browt. You couldn't name him anything else. That's Browt.

A 45 minute video on The Queen's Nose? The YouTube algo got me good.

Actually a wee bit giddy that new Scrubs is really good. Feels like it never left, exactly what I needed right now. A good few laughs and gave me the warm fuzzies.

lol

AEW was featured on the premiere episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, following the recent Anti-ICE chants and the reaction to them.

In a low-resolution screen capture from Red Dwarf, a character stands in a doorway marked "STASIS" while the words "The End" are superimposed across the center of the frame.

Red Dwarf started 38 years ago today on BBC Two with the aptly named "The End".

Have noticed a stark increase in PVP encounters in Arc Raiders since they started their "please don't shoot each other" event 🤷

Not all that fun when you've been having a chill PvE time (for the most part) til now.

Congratulations!

Not only does he give him a warning before clocking the ice supporter in the jaw, he fucking mogs him while doing it.

Absolute hero.

Frequently wrong about themselves Sure, there are complex psychological issues at play, but surely people can at least be trusted to tell you about themselves, right? Unfortunately not. A particular AAA developer I know of once sent surveys to 1000 players asking them which game they had played the most, then compared it with the data of what they had actually played. Not a single one answered correctly. Zero out of one thousand players could remember their own habits enough to tell which game they’d played the most. Player answers were so consistently wildly wrong that the team involved thought that their data must have been corrupted. Upon validating that it was in fact accurate, they went back to the players and told them what their actual most played games were, and every single one said something along the lines of “OH! Right. Well, that makes sense”. When people tell you things they’re really telling you the stories they tell themselves about themselves, and those stories may not have anything at all to do with reality.

there u go, bless

It's wild to me there's any talk of new consoles when I literally just watched a trailer for a game out this year showing PS4 as a platform it's launching on.

I'll admit it's also paired with her talking about loving Harry Potter so maybe I feel the "hmmm" is a bit more warranted.

A woman at my job specifically uses the white skinned thumbs up when reacting to stuff on Teams, instead of the default yellow one.

I know it's not like a huge red flag or anything but I can't help but just think "hmmm" every time I see it.

Highguard was self-published—there’s no public investors or publisher needing X% explosive success to get massive ROI. Who put the studio in a situation where they’d have no runway if the game just did “okay?”

Battleborn released in 2016, got updates for around a year or so, and the servers ran until 2021.

Believe me it was much worse before 😅

But yeah the story and vibes carry that game, especially these days. Think it still might be my favourite of the 3.

My pal @randomlyrossy.bsky.social shared this with me and I feel the need to share it here.
It's not often I'm proud to be a wrestling fan.

Had a charge come through from Nintendo and was confused.

Checked it and it's for my cardboard Virtual Boy headset 😅

Screenshot of a post which reads "Hi again. I am looking for the lady who posted a help in regards to her bunny. I have been assaulted in Morocco and left my job at Royal College and at home, and I believe that would be a help for us both. Should you still wish, please contact me."

I only keep Nextdoor installed because you'll occasionally get weirdly unhinged posts like this. Really fun comedy app.

One Third of Consumers Resist AI on Their Devices | Circana Many consumers feel their devices sufficiently fulfill their needs without artificial intelligence, while others have privacy concerns

"The top reason cited by consumers for not wanting AI in their devices is that they simply do not need AI capabilities. Nearly two-thirds of opposed consumers indicated that their devices already perform the tasks they need. Another 59% of AI detractors cited privacy concerns..."

Need to get another side table for the extra hands.

Just looked to the side table on my left and there are 7 game controllers on it, 8 if you count the Joycons as two.

Do I have a problem?

TV show themes that have randomly popped into my head over the last few days so far:

Inspector Gadget
Art Attack.

In case you missed it yesterday!:
