I really want to watch this; I know a bit of the lore of Aliens & Prometheus and it seems interesting.. but I'm a scaredy cat and those movies are terrifying to me!

I really enjoyed it; big Supes fan myself. Fantastic Four is probably the better movie, but this was a good Superman film (though I like Man Of Steel which I understand is a perhaps controversial statement).

You've laid it out as an either/or, I dont see why I can't have a best of both.
Time boxed decisions on clear (maybe temporarily biased) scopes that get delivered; then continuously iterated on in a human centred form.
I've ended up in 'design by committee' paralysis too often.

Lying in bed, struggling to sleep, and contemplating my own mortality.
Bah humbug.

Honestly, as dumb as this might sound; just lower the tone a bit. By which I mean, a few judicial shits, fucks and he's an arsehole in your sentences would go a long way to resonating more with bro's.
I have no data to back this up, but it seems to be an 'obvious' difference in presentation style.

Ok, watching Destination Wedding as its about to leave prime and my god, the dialog and delivery is just phenomenal. Keanu and Winona are just amazing in this. I've jo idea if it's a good film, I'm just enjoying them on screen together.

Love this!

Oh. I thought it was something about them being disconnected but having something that wasn't.

.. for the idiots at the back?

Really fun season 1 right up until they realised they could get renewed and needed a hook for season 2 so it all got a bit dumb. Midway through season 2 and its kind of lost its way, but I'm invested enough to see where it goes for now.

The Fugitive, love this film; so many good ones in the 90's though.

He isn't a developer though and thats the entire issue. All this vibe coding discussion has been centered on non-devs being able to make their dream apps with no experience. Unfortunately no experience means not knowing about things like backup strategies and proper separation of concerns.

My PC blue screens when starting into safemode. It will boot fine normally, but can't take any updates.
I sense a rebuild coming up. Used to enjoy that, now I fear I'm too old to be arsed. That's a troubling thing to write...

Seen the new Tron trailer? I hope NiN can carry the mantle from Daft Punk.

I'm based in London, so an EMEA session would be great, but a morning EST can work for remote too.

The thing is they're setting so much precedent its unreal. What is needed is a blue version of Project 2025 that takes full advantage of these new holes - bonus points for finding ways to close them once they've fulfilled their usefulness. I've not seen that 'United States 2030' being worked on :(

Now, if only I could install any of the recent previews. Even trying the inplace restore bluescreens. Guess it's time for a full rebuild next time I get some spare time.

Any plans for other geos? Or have I missed those already?

I never understood why/how I can run Ollama models locally on my desktop, but I need a mythical NPU in order to enable Windows AI features.

Is now the time for a Matrix joke? :)

There's a lot of hate for the 'tv' focus, but i understood a lot of that was based on actual usage telemetry - people were using 360's as media centres at the time so it made sense to embrace that. The problem was a lot of people didn't realise that was their usage, they were 'gamers' after all.

I used to love Ribena, then we had the sugar tax and they changed the recipe and it just has the worst after taste.
I really wish they would do an 'Original recipe' / 'Ribena Gold' or something so I could drink it again - I would pay a bit more - its been years and it was the taste of my childhood.

Oh, honourable mention to Hardspace: Shipbreaker
Probably fits where Viewfinder is. Really liked the gimmick in Viewfinder, Hardspace is more chill puzzle though.

I should note, I play a lot of COD and Fortnite, but those are almost taken for granted in lists like this I think.

Curious to see your list @beardyjim.fyi

This was a fun thing to do:

@giantbomb.bsky.social - I'm sure I'm missing some notable entries; feels weird not to have Fallout on here, but I'm going for the ones I truly loved (Squadrons in VR) at the time and keep coming back to (Forged Alliance)

I wonder if its actually because of Steams trademark rather than any trepidation on their part. I'm unclear if this has been done in collaboration, or not. If not they may not want to name any of the services to avoid potential legal issues perhaps?

Whats the legality for you selling this sort of stuff via displate? I'd certainly pick one or two up from there if I could, and there's a lot of presumably unauthorised (fair use?) artwork there...

Oh, there's the Starfury! :)

Loving these.
No Starfury panel that I could see though.

That's really good stuff, heading over to deviantart to see if there's more :)
