"Do you think it was having it lead by a widely hated cardboard actor who's also a sexpest cult leader who's every project in the last decade being record breaking bombs, and sprinkle it with cameos from some nepotistic rich shitheads?"

You’ll notice that new developments in generative AI are always accompanied by new ways of depicting women without their consent—undermining their autonomy and harassing them—almost like it’s a pillar of the technology and its evolution

He posted a bunch of great photos on his FB page, and a great personal write up from the Vancouver-born, Hong Kong national.

Darryl O'Young is calling it a career at the conclusion of the Macau GP weekend. A heck of a career.

Twice a winner at the Bathurst 12 hour when that race meant something, one of the very best at Macau in a GT car, and helped lead the GT revolution in Asia.

He will always a favorite of mine. 🏎️

Arcade in the literal cabinet arcade sense ofc.

Wiffle Games in Duncan has San Francisco Rush 2049 Tournament Edition in their arcade and it's perfect.

Perfect in every way. The best arcade racing game made by The West.

These erotica responses are no doubt made from farming the work of erotica writers/SWers but we as a society are not okay with seeing SWers as human. Meanwhile if it’s an amorphous $800 billion Magic 8 Ball drinking whole lakes and burning the rainforest then I can feel okay getting my dick hard.

All of the Israelis held by Hamas are called “hostages,” including the IDF soliders.

All the Palestinians released, though, are “prisoners,” including the many victims of Israel’s widespread arbitrary detention - meaning they are legally innocent, detained without charge or conviction.

Disgusting.

New blog post - It's time to get rolling on the retrospective of some of the very best racing games of the last 25 years.

If it wasn't for my one game per franchise/license rule, these four games would be there. 🏁💀🏁

The way everyone in a position of power in the government and at Canada Post refuses to entertain any of the proven methods that have saved other post offices and made them profitable is pathological.

How would they be behaving any differently if they were actively trying to make Canada Post fail?

Would you go to Canada Post for your mortgage? Why advocates think postal banking could be a lifeline for the Crown corp.

They'd probably race the same with how the tires have developed. The only real difference now is maybe 50 horsepower and how much aero the underbody is making now.

PS3 Payday 2 is a massive trip. Still the original skill trees, no perk decks, no The Judge, cloakers were JUST added, Big Oil is a bit of a bastard.

Also you should play Split Second if you haven't yet.
