Rapidly losing any excitement or interest in anything and debating whether or not this down to the state of the world or because I am in my mid 20s.

Truly fascinating that this censoring of the game name was even a thing. Makes you wonder how it happened and if there is any genuine concern from big publishers that the game will take away a significant slice of their revenue.

I think the amount of AI videos I am seeing, now this Sora 2 thing has come out will be the thing that finally makes me crashout. Proper dystopian shit and basically no government seems to care about it.

These low/no SBMM playlists in Black Ops 7 are incredible. Takes me back to the BO2 days

Anyway, will probably just keep listening to the Doja Catt album cause that is non-stop excellence

A few more listens into The Life of a Showgirl. When it is on in the background, the prod/sound feels way less jarring. But, the writing is pretty rough, probably because the best art is often made in times of suffering, and Taylor basically has everything she has ever wanted now

Only songs here that really stood out was Opalite, Father Figure, and Ruin The Friendship. Maybe the title track too but everything else felt rather forgettable on first listen.

One listen through the new Taylor album and it is a REALLY weird vibe. Very obvious everything here is a role-playing exercise more than anything. Curious if it will grow on me, but is is fascinating to get an album from her that doesn't feel ripped out of her diary or life.

Black Ops 7 is explosion hell. Bangs going off ever 3 seconds.

Thinking about how this is probably my favourite boss fight in any game ever. From Software hasn't ever reached this level of orchestrated cinematic action since.

Oooffff

Incredibly sad and another loss for the UK game industry.

AI Actress Tilly Norwood Debuts at Zurich Summit as Industry Grapples With Emerging Tech: We Want Her ‘to Be the Next Scarlett Johansson’ AI actress Tilly Norwood has attracted the attention of multiple talent agents.

The advert with this fake person in within this article is genuinely making my brain combust. Delusional stuff some of these Execs are smoking.

That bottom bullet point equates to "Do free shit for our country and maybe we'll let you stay, but we may not".

Banger

That new Zara Larsson album is some of the best shit she has done in a while.

I assumed this was getting delayed. Very excited!

Labour is fully adopting the "throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks" strategy today. Digital ID, naming offenders doing community service, and creating another exam for kids to stress about. Incredible work from The Dept of Morgan McSweeny.

It is a ridiculously good New Music Friday

1,000 dollars is insane lmfao

For the Epic Games Store, I put together a breakdown of the kart and Gadget builds in Sonic Racing Crossworlds, how to unlock the Master Plate, earn Donpa Tickets fast, and the best way to combine vehicle parts and gadgets to create an impressive ride:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

That was what we all needed from Wolverine after so long. I think Insomniac sold everyone in like 2 minutes.

Petition to get rid of unneeded subtitles.

Flight Sim is the first Xbox game in a PlayStation Showcase. Once again we are in a new era

March for Saros. Holy moly. Give me it right now

Ghoulish, but also would Labour fund all these third spaces/mystical "gender natural", "trans only" toilets, support facilities, hospitals etc across the UK. I doubt it.

Truly incredible stuff

I love Zazz, the best Sonic character. Well worth a roster spot.
