Irish, Jewish, autistic, trans, retro enthusiast, I wrote that article you never read about the thing you have no interest in.

I’ve been so busy lately I’ve only been hit and run posting, so I missed the news about Nick’s passing.

Honestly, it’s hit quite hard.

I knew Nick primarily through his work on Retro Gamer, for which there aren’t enough plaudits to do it justice.
I like that a lot of people are realising just what a bellend Tarantino is.

Welcome to the party.

I haven't touched alcohol in over 17 months, most of the time I don't even think about it, but every now and then I just want to cut loose and drink until the world turns black.

A reminder that if you do any kind of video editing, DaVinci Resolve is industry standard, a joy to use and free on Windows, OSX, Linux, and Windows ARM.

It kicks Final Cut Pro to the kerb with ease.

One of the often ignored areas of Nazi Germany 1931 - 1944 was just how well the German equity market did under Hitler.

And how terrible a metric stock markets are for assessing anything other than greed backed by a blind belief in a future that may never happen.

Do you know how fucked your ideology has to be to view children as enemy combatants?

The hate you need to have, the blind belief in your own superiority, that the people you hate can be dehumanised enough to justify any action against them.

We’ve seen it before, we said “never again”

We lied.

The earn less buy more economic model of perpetual growth has one catastrophic flaw that the people relying on it seem to have overlooked.

My X1 Pro arrived, only had time to set it up and install a couple of things, but it's really chuffing nice and whisper quiet.

I liked “AI” when it was just used to touch up pictures and upscale videos.

It seemed at that point like interesting technology.

Hell I was even interested when it came to applying custom filters.

But where it led was absolute bollocks, and really not worth the journey.

How the fuck is Jonathan Gullis defecting to Reform being pushed as a win for Farage?

He’s a cunt, an ignorant, arrogant, racist, fuckwit who just can’t stop himself from continually pushing the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory.

He makes Reform look more like a Klan chapter than a broad church.

Your Party doesn't represent my interests.

Admittedly my interests are primarily based in quality names for political parties, but it still stands.

Luckily it can be easily abbreviated to Y Party, YoPa. or Y.P.

Fuck they're just as terrible.

You can tell this site is weighted toward Americans.

"Trump Pardons" is trending.

So it turns out a love of beige food is less of a national trait and more of a right wing one.

I've never been a fan of time limits in games.

I'm OK if it's mission specific, but otherwise it's just a lazy mechanic and I find it off putting.

Do you know what fits neatly between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

That's right Bloggo's Home Computers Vs GameBoy Advance.

Which is a bit of a mouthful for a holiday, which is why it was abreviated to BHCVGBA Saturday.

Happy BHCVGBA Saturday everyone.
Isn't it great when old stuff gets dragged out of retirement and forced to work again, just to be forced to do something they are not suited to.
But hey, enough of that, here's some games that were wheeled out of a nursing home to entertain some millennials or something.

Maybe we should abolish all governments and come up with a new system where all matters are decided based on a Micro Machines '96 tournement.

I mean honestly it couldn't be any worse than this.

And it would destroy lobbyists in a Thanos finger snap.

You see anyone acting the fuckin' fool on this matter - give 'em the facts and nothing else.

Trans rights are human rights, no matter how hard these people try to create spectacle, confusion and distraction.

I wish I was surprised. Buried in this Budget is a plan to slash the Digital Services Tax, giving a multi-billion tax cut to US tech giants and the likes of Elon Musk.

That's right, cutting taxes for the world's richest man while hiking them for millions of hard-working Brits.

They're not evangelists, they are certainly not experts, they're nothing but the increasingly standard blend of con men and dodgy salesmen.

So why do we afford them so much uncritical coverage, why do we allow them to lobby and advise governments, and why do we let them write their own policies?
