This is hilarious.

Also, completely enraging.

And... I've gone and infected myself with a brain virus, downloaded Project Osiris, and have spent the afternoon playing Alien Breed 3D.

More or less my reaction when I got it home in 1995.

Not even the "best" FPS, Alien Breed 3D? Gasp. ;)

Still called an "adventure" at this point. Awwww...

This house will become a shrine, and punks and skins and rastas will all gather round and hold their hands in sorrow for their fallen leader. And all the grown-ups will say, "But why are the kids crying?" And the kids will say, "Haven't you heard? Rick is dead! The People's Poet is dead!"

One of the scenario seeds at the back, I think.

The Psycho Circus made it into 40KRT, so it could happen!

I remember a much earlier one, black and white, showing a Traveller-style wedge shaped spaceship. But that was technically for Rogue Trader rather than 40k proper.

Fuck ICE. Fuck Donald Trump. Free Palestine. Free Sudan. Free Congo. End these brutal illegal forever imperialist wars. Trans rights are human rights. End all settler colonialism.

Ironically the one scene I remembered clearly (Cyber John McClane uses holograms to trick the cyberthieves) I convinced myself I'd misremembered, because *of course* that's Total Recall.

But it's in there! They ripped off Total Recall too!

I found it on Roku, but the full film is also on YouTube.

Cyberjack (1995) aka Virtual Assassin - Trailer YouTube video by deathstrike9k

Sometime in 1996 I watched a crappy cyberpunk ripoff of Die Hard. I could never identify it, because I couldn't recall the name, or anyone in it, and it was so obscure that no one else seemed to have seen it.

I ran into it by complete accident yesterday. Behold:

*It's designed for Stargrave and has scifi trappings, but you should be able to adapt it for any skirmish/warband level game.

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: โ€œA party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.โ€
I suppose I shouldnโ€™t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said โ€œwe have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.โ€
She said โ€œmaybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when โ€ฆ

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

I was genuinely surprised when I saw this. It's like we're back in 2002 again.

If there is a such a thing as Marvel Fatigue, I guarantee it's not because they discarded the brown/grey leather look.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

โ€˜Rising anti-trans hatredโ€™ in the UK creating โ€˜hostile environmentโ€™, report suggests 99 per cent of trans people say media coverage of issue has harmed their mental health

A new report and survey of trans people reports that 99% of them have had their mental health negatively affected by the barrage of anti trans stories in the UK media. 64% avoided medical care due to discrimination. This is a crisis.

Labours attitudes towards water companies is one of the starkest examples of how they'll do anything to protect the status quo.

The case for water nationalisation is so bloody obvious to everyone - yet they'll do anything they can to keep the failed privatisation experiment.

โ€œWe cannot say that the United Statesโ€™ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iranโ€™s retaliatory actions as against international law,โ€ is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.

The current argument of the British right is that Muslims turned out in "blocs" with "family voting" to cast their ballots for a party led by a gay Jewish man, and this shows that multiculturalism has failed, voting is "sectarian" and we are in a crisis.

Hmmmmmm.
