2 panel comic Panel 1 is titled βClient Feedback (2012) Red Guy sits at his desk typing on his laptop. There is a bubble on the right hand side of the panel showing his screen. A small text panel says βand theβ. There is an arrow pointing to the bottom of the words with a correction box that reads: βText is slightly misaligned. Please fixβ Panel 2 is titled βClient feedback (2026) Red Guy is slouched on chair typing into his phone. His phone screen shows a panel of text that is complete gibberish. This time the correction reads βnot alphabet but who give a fuckβ
client feedback in the GenAI era
Happy birthday, fellow March Baby!
...From the vantage of 43... It gets so much worse!
Weed before cider, you meet the spider. Cider before weed, the centipede.
Screw it. I'm refurbishing a Nokia and ordering a cheque book.
It's like poetry. It's coarse and annoying... and it gets everywhere!
I'm going to try and keep my current phone going for as long as possible until this all blows over.
Look... just because reality turned out to be even more stupid than we could possibly have imagined doesn't mean... etc. etc.
Because it's cheeky. It injects a little mirth into a mirthless world. I see nothing but positives here.
Nobody has that kind of attention span. "Grapril". Done.
I stand by Woolly World on Wii U.
And I'll repost this cameo of the Golden Mario Idol that appears in Heisei: Shin Onigashima, originally released for the Satellaview!
Is Yoshi and the Magic book going to be an S-tier Yoshi game? Or an E/F-tier? These are the only tiers.
My 7 year old is getting into telling classic question/answer and knock knock jokes.
I am the worst at remembering actual jokes. Hit me up with some of your favourites.
Sample:
Q. Where did Admiral Nelson keep his armies?
A. Up his sleevies!
Absolute classic. I'm usually an interrupting cow.
This was met with 20 seconds of befuddled silence followed by one of the best "OH I get it!" faces.
I know what your phone call was!

That's sniper talk, son!
Dragging my arse across the country to be in the office on what SHOULD be a religious holiday.
Happy Iomar Day!
Immediately followed by the embarrassing sight of an elder millennial throwing shapes and trying to vocalise it in front of a room full of young people.
He looks up and sees the Ofsted inspector lingering in the doorway.
An awkward moment passes.
Ofsted: "Fuckin' tune, mate."
When I'm old and desperate for attention, I'm gonna be shitty to the kids about someone real obscure. "What do you mean you don't know about Natalie Imbruglia? Times sure are tough for today's old people if you kids don't even know Left of the Middle!"
I mean... my *nan* was the Elvis fan. Any active teachers who were actively listening to Elvis and not just... aware of him through the zeitgeist... need to hurry up and fuckun' retire!
Whereas Disney would have hired Alan Tudick to do it.
I'm sorry. I am having some Opinions today!
The only benefit of digital over physical for me is that digital ownership doesn't take up precious shelf space.
Game key cards take up shelf space and provide none of the benefits of physical ownership (persistence over decades, buy/sell rights).
"We removed gay elements... because movies aren't therapy."
Nobody was asking for therapy.
That statement begins from the assumption that the victims of systemic bigotry are mentally unwell. That's fucked up and Pete Docter should be ashamed of himself.
