On budget day, the allegedly British expert investors are waking up at midday and getting ready to trade without a mention of the bomb about to go off in the middle of the British economy

the scam bots/artists are having a mental health moment.

This conversation took a whole day to wind back around to the best way to being okay is to band together and be strong together, and in turn the best way to do that is to transfer funds to the group investment pot

Thrilled to see Omega finally do a Planet Ocean refresh. Been waiting years. Love the tapered bracelet, love the no date.. 3mm thinner is great. Not sure about the face being universally black. VERY unsure about that price. Anyway this is like up there with a new Final Fantasy being announced to me

Mum just dumped a big bag of stuff of mine from her house in my porch, and there's a blast from the past!

it's a bs term anyway (it is impossible to bake just one slice of a cake, whatever an exec thinks), but this understanding of it is even worse.

Oh, by the way: I am the host of this on Friday! Please come along for my chat with the cast & director of the FF7Rs. As you'd expect, I can guarantee a level of nerdy deep dive that might not always occur on such panels...

RIP to Itagaki, whose poisonous (but totally kayfabe) vendetta against Tekken was a relentlessly entertaining thread out of the early 2000s Japan dev news scene. You knew you were in for a treat if you got an interview with him.

Videogamer's new logo a screaming exclamation mark on the 'support independent games media' argument. Legitimately thought this was someone taking the piss when it was first posted in a discord, but no, it's on the site. You have to laugh (or else you'll cry)

I tell a lie, there was just one and it was from, er... Omega? I suppose they're used to doing it every year, and this is their best bet with the films iced for now. Still, this is the first we've /heard/ the new Q, played by the same dude that played Mon Mothma's miserable husband in Andor

the screen is about, idk, 40ft wide. You can shoot stuff right up the other end. All the guns are Zappers or Super Scopes! It's great.
