The "Secretary of War" is taking potshots at innocent fishermen

I'm living in a cheap dystopian movie from the eighties

We know for a fact Trump doesn't like his dirty little secrets coming out. We can quantify the amount he didn't want us to know about his sleeping with a porn star. He cared $130,000 worth

I like the idea of Steam Deck, but I'm not a fan of teeny tiny screens. For me, Steam Frame is like a Steam Deck with a built-in screen that's as big as a virtual cinema

I do have a couple of roomscale games, but never played them much because my VR is tethered. So that is a wee bonus and all

They've tried Steam Machines before but failed to gain critical mass. This time they are more likely to succeed because Microsoft is giving them a hand.. by making Windows 11 so awful

Different people play in different ways on different platforms and/or PC configurations. It's fairly likely people will have different experiences playing the game

It's why I was wondering which version of the game you played

If I saw bugs I would've said. I don't care either way. I don't know why anyone would be dishonest about it, or feel they had to "admit" that a game they owned had bugs in it

So are we at the "He did it, but it doesn't matter" stage of the proceedings?

It doesn't matter like it didn't matter he pardoned cop killers, or raped E Jean Carroll, or accepted a Jumbo Jet as a bribe, or fucked a porn star, or fiddled his books to hide that fact, or stole from a cancer charity

What platform?

The PC version ran fine on my rig

For me it's Pavlovian

I remember being stuck in a small room with a terrible bagpipe player screeching out a song at full laldy

...bagpipes give me a headache

Aye, and without any consequences either

He pardoned people who bludgeoned a police officer to death and didn't lose any popularity. I doubt fucking little kiddies is a much worse crime to pardon

Well it was always more of a McCarthyism metaphor, but I've had to revaluate a lot of books and movies ever since Trump, that had 2-dimensional evil characters who did things just to be evil

It turns out antagonists *don't* need good reasons for their behaviour to be realistic

Sure he's scared, but he was also scared when the Mueller Report was about to come out. Luckily for him all the crooked fuckers ensured he was okay

I'm sure the same thing will happen about his kiddie fiddling

Fucking hell! Just now!? We know Trump has blabbed secrets in the past. I wouldn't have trusted that fat orange cunt further than I could've throw him ...and he is a really heavy lump of lard

We should only be sharing secrets with Trump that we want Putin to hear

Do you really believe Trump is going to release the actual Epstein Files? This is going to be as big a damp squib as the Mueller Report

It'll be peppered with Trump-sized redactions throughout, and there won't be any photos of a cum-stained Trump with wee half-naked girls laughing at the stain

Aye, and show the police officer being bludgeoned to death, and MAGA shitting on the walls.. all with a flashing subtitle "The fucker waited three hours before doing anything, then later he pardoned them all"

It's like the Trolley Problem.. either starve people to death, or watch them die of ill health

Traitorous democrats: "So who's going to pay me to switch the tracks?"

A social media post by Karoline Leavitt (The White House Press Secretary) showing two news headlines side-by-side. The left headline, under a caption that reads "Shot" reads: "Trump goes to war with 'fake news' BBC," and the right headline under a caption that reads "Chaser" reads: "Tim Davie resigns as BBC director general over Trump documentary edit."

I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job.

To see Trump's White House claiming credit for his downfall and attacking the BBC should worry us all.

I seriously doubt Hell is real. We need to create a hell for them right here on Earth

It's so obvious it makes me wonder if it wasn't deliberate

This was so fucking obvious I'm surprised folks didn't think of it. On a much smaller level, I worked for a company that bent over backwards to ensure our customers wouldn't go to another supplier "Hey, this stuff from that other supplier is much better. Let's use them for everything"

Argh! Elite on the ZX Spectrum. The number of times I has to reload the game because of that Lenslok shite

The worst part was when Elite: Dangerous was Kickstarted. All the famous players were going on about how their copy of Elite was pirated to avoid the Lenslok pain

Good choice. Script by Raymond Chandler. I watched it just a couple of months ago. The dialogue just crackles along

When I was young I thought the reason for the weird skintones of the Americans I saw on telly was because of the NTSC format

It's the ultimate "waiting for a bus" syndrome

Seeing the progression from GTA3, GTA4, GTA5, I'm not exactly going to go blue in the face holding my breath waiting for GTA6

I don't know if announcing a game too early is a bad thing. I understand these are commercial products, and need funding for development

..but also delays affect reputation
