Neuropisces - Is that a thing? For people with fish on the brain. I make games about fish so that's me if I can claim the word. It can be you too.

Imagine being so bad at your job, Streeting comes out smelling of roses.

One simple “but nobody apart from Wes Streeting even likes Wes Streeting and we can’t be 100% on that one either” should have been enough to make everyone take a pause and assess how their plans are working out here.

is anything actually happening in British government beyond Keir Starmer and his SPADs stepping on each others' dicks every day. Let me know if anything good and non-asinine is happening

Alternatively, I am disabled and it lets me play my Steam library and also, I have no money.

Close enough, I suppose.

Just thinking ahead now after reading around about the Steam machines - and why there is no Steam Deck 2 - that despite all evidence, despite all the execs apart from that one at Microsoft banging on about all the power, saying the same thing about where we are, so many haven’t caught up.

Don’t worry, the cat’s been fed. They’re not even my cat.

I think rather than it just being Peter, this time round we should all get a go in the cube.
November 12, 2025 at 7:16 PM
That’s it. That’s them all out of my system now. I’m going to feed this here cat that doesn’t even live here.

honestly, I don’t think there’s a price where the new steam cube could compete for the living room because it’s like, only six inches and I’m never going to fit all my stuff in that. Just my sofa alone is bigger than the cube, it’s not going to work.

New Steam Machine hard to get?

They sell irons in Argos mate.
November 12, 2025 at 6:55 PM
Anyway. Does anyone know what the flesh forming properties of a Steam cube are and how Dean Hall’s barber (a console gamer) feels about it?
November 12, 2025 at 6:55 PM
I was going to make a joke about if you tap the Steam cube bits chip off just like Molyneux’s but then I realised that was just an Ouya.

Will it be easy to buy a new Steam Machine?

Well. That entirely depends on whether you’ve watched Death To The Daleks or not.

Can we bring back “flesh forming” as an advertising thing? it’s so much better than “mouth watering”.

love when people just say things that are so untrue it takes less than a second’s thought to go “eh, no, what about *unfurls long scroll proceeds to read out a long list*” and they just look very silly for saying it
