Dang it doesn't have a metascore - I wonder if it was popular in its day. I was a wee babe when I played it.

That game for me is King's Quest: Mask of Eternity - I remember it being so broken, certain encounters or actions would soft lock progression, but the atmosphere and dread of that game was incredible, the janky combat had my teenage self fist pumping whenever I survived a tricky fight.

Guy Ritchie keeps making the same film over and over and over again.

And the same TV shows too. Gotta admire the consistency.

Israeli soldiers were killed by brown people terrorism while Lebanese buildings simply disintegrate and Iranian school girls spontaneously stop being alive - similar to how Palestinian babies just instantly combust in well-documented examples written up by the NYT.

Iran War thread March 8.

All evidence points to US - my tax dollars - bombing the Minab girls' school in Tehran. That can't be changed by this.

And this is a declaration of intent to commit war crimes.

I hope you're getting better news on the health front Walter, thank you for your perseverance (professionally and no doubt, personally).

When everything is AI and Walter is the last person left still writing with his brain, I will happily read and re-read just his words.

Add on top of that he's an exceptionally thoughtful art critic... My brain will have all the nourishment it needs in the era of vile AI slop. This is no exception>

The newly amalgamated Adelaide University brings utter shame upon itself in its first months of operation.

In a statement following this shocking act, it risibly claims it is a place where "exchange of ideas can happen freely".

Not if the ideas include a defence of the remaining Gazans, it seems.

That article is a chilling read. We know how bad American media is, how much they are in lockstep with their government, yet every new piece of excited celebration for war mongering gives me the shivers

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

Only going to be disappointed that Saros won't make it to PC. Returnal was the best Sony-exclusive game of the last generation, and so I was only really looking towards the next Housemarquee title :(

Inside the Pro-Israel Campaign to Stop ‘The Voice of Hind Rajab’ From Winning an Oscar A group led by top Hollywood executives and linked to the Israeli government is trying to smear a film about a little girl killed by Israeli forces.

NEW: A group of Hollywood execs are running a smear campaign against "The Voice of Hind Rajab" to stop it from winning an Oscar.

The group has ties to the Israeli government & received support from foundations of Russian oligarch Len Blavatnik & Casey Wasserman (both featured in the Epstein Files).

The regime won’t let you have clean hands if you work for them, even if they’re punishing you. This was leaked on purpose, is uncomfortably close to confessing to a war crime, and highlights once again how tech’s unthinking growth directly leads to dead kids.

It is incredibly depressing that I could instantly visualise what that CGI would look like because we've seen it so many times

(the earliest iterations of those were those giant spreads in Times magazine around the Afghanistan/Iraq invasions)

War is peace, freedom is slavery etc etc.

And no one sells war is peace like American media.
