I was pretty sure that the Frankenstein story would be in good hands with Del Toro, but wow. You really can't go wrong with Guillermo Del Toro and a monster story about vain, ambitious, arrogant men and the consequences of their actions.

Also, what did they feed Jacob Elordi for this movie.

Delightful Warframe community moment is when, when waiting for a new teammate to figure out how to vote on a mission, other teammate whips out a shawzin (a... space guitar?) and starts playing the Beverly Hills Cops soundtrack while my character does a little dance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmyS...

Windows periodically tries to blackmail me into doing updates by slowly cutting off very random things. First, Netflix refuses to work. Then, Youtube stops being able to play videos. Next, sound just stops working entirely! And eventually I cave and do the update and everything is fine again.

Pssst! 👀

I love living with another game dev because it means going out to get bubble tea and when we come home she goes to play the new Pokemon and I start Ghost of Tsushima and we can exchange impressions later. And plan to play Split Fiction together over Christmas.

I finally finished Expedition 33, and I need 33 hugs. And to see if I can replay just that final sequence to make the *other* choice and get that ending.

Research into humans fails when humans are removed from the research. Gee. Who could have seen that one coming.

People say "autism never used to exist" and then you go to the Natural History Museum and the exhibit has a caption like "Born in 1762, The Revd [name] was famously irascible, steadfast in his routine, and dedicated his life to collecting 25,000 rare beetle specimens".

If this isn't the single coolest job title in the world.

I did get a PhD this year, but this accomplishment just got supplanted by the fact that the adjudicator ruled in my and my roommates' favour in a dispute, and our former landlord who tried to con us out of around £1700 worth of deposit lost. She's not getting a single dime of it. Ha.

We're shortstaffed on RPS and need some rad PC-minded freelancers for urgent review work. Specifically:
- Borderlands 4 (yes I know it's out already)
- Dying Light: The Beast
- Silent Hill f

My state of mind before I hop back into the game this weekend: I dreamt that I ran into Cornifer and that he was humming to the tune of The Wellerman. How are your Silksong adventures going.

I'm in the middle of it, such a good read! Babel and Yellowface were also really good (from the same author)

I've had Hornet for 45min and I'm already in love.

But also I need a map, where is my man Cornifer -

I finally caught the culprit and it's a guy riding around the neighbourhood on his mobility scooter with a massive sound system attached to the back of the scooter (with led lights and everything) blasting the music at full volume.

TW: suicide and self-harm.

The chat logs are chilling. How this tech is still allowed to be rolled out before the necessary safeguards are in place is beyond me. If despite the waterfall of red flags you still decide to use ChatGPT, please be safe while doing so, because it isn't.

I just finished Act II of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and its epilogue(s).

What.
WHAT.

(if you know, you know)

It looks so fun! I looked at the preview pages on Amazon and was sold at 'meringue art'.

Thank goodness we have a three days weekend ahead so I can finish Clair Obscur before Silksong monopolises my one braincell.

Sorry Sam but a PhD is not a sign of superior intelligence, it's just a sign that you are obsessive enough to nitpick at a problem for three or four years in the weirdest ways you can think of. A very stubborn duck could get a PhD. Maybe all academia is a whole bunch of very stubborn ducks.

The only thing PhD-like about ChatGPT is that it can probably regurgitate most of the papers it has pirated and plagiarised.

ChatGPT will never think critically about research methods, or wake up in the middle of the night and go 'but wHAT IF...' at a weird problem no one else is thinking about.

All I heard was Silksong this year and my heart is FULL.

Revised thesis publication shenanigans continue: 2 weeks wait to get the formatting checked and approved, had to email them to get things moving... and be told to delete two words and change the order of name and title on the title page. Academia you are ever so silly.

if you watch the tech industry long enough you learn the promised benefits never materialize but the unforeseen harms continue to be perpetuated long after the companies move on to the next big thing yet governments are too worried about scaring away investment to do anything

Can we just burn these systems to the ground, and only release them again once they 1. are fit for purpose (whatever their purpose is, because nobody seems to agree on that), 2. are sustainable, 3. don't deeply harm anyone who isn't a white cishet able-bodied man in areas like healthcare?

Me submitting my thesis to the open access White Rose service and wondering 'okay, what new hoop are they going to have me hop through NEXT'.

Finishing a thesis really is nothing but an endless series of admin tasks just to make sure you feel that Dr title is really deserved, as if the past 4-5 years of research isn't enough.
