Finally actually playing Prime Remastered. I started it when it came out but didn’t make it far.
I’m halfway though the Phazon Mines. This place fucking sucks!
I sure do miss auto saves.
I died twice, the second time half an hour into the section having not seen a place to save.

Slow Horses is a very good show.
Its a marvel that in an era when limited series/shows that really shouldn't be limited series but are, are the norm, this is a show that finds a way to use that 6 episode format to its benefit. A thing Brtish TV has done for years but a lot of TV today fails to do.

BBC Now Calling Trans Women 'Biological Males Who Identify As Women'
These stories come in the aftermath of allegations that a small but mighty cabal of “LGBT reporters” had somehow seized control of the BBC and “censored” right-wing views.

The amount of damage the Western world inflicts on itself to enable a genocidal Israel is historical. Financial damage, cultural damage, legal damage, reputational damage, and voluntarily opening their own people up to danger - all so the Israelis can murder.

“Don’t post publicly about Geoff or you’ll be blacklisted from the industry.” Listen I truly understand why anyone would say that, but being an old man who lived through gamergate and was told by my superior to STFU about it online and refused to: I’m still here and making games.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.
