If we are doing Greco Roman mythological punishments though then I decided rather than Sisyphus we would go with Prometheus instead and challenge the health of livers -- cheating death is boring but giving humanity fire is the real deal.
To that end post your favourite drinking and...
So it seems Skype is determined to kill itself and no longer an option for various people (I have not liked it for many years now but could at least get it working for one to one video calls, the phone side of things people tell me is worse than ever). I would however like to video chat between...
Background. Originally the writers guild (union) responsible for no small amount of US TV and film went on strike. Pay and conditions coming up, in this case residual pay from streaming (seems you get a continuous cut for things you write even if nominally a work for hire type arrangement) and...

Monster energy, presently one of the more popular energy drinks, have gone after an indie dev for having monsters (plural could be notable) in a title of their game.
The game they target is Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals made by glowstick entertainment. Can't say I have...
Controllers these days are often fairly fixed throughout the system lifetime but I wanted a discussion on things out there, and to make a list of sorts. We can get very into the weeds with semantics and I am OK wiht that. Your favourites, things that annoyed you and more are all welcome for...
So actually a fair few years back now every popular science, weekend DIY, maker and whatnot rag was littered with articles on 3d printers and how they were the future While I am... OK always one to point and laugh at a fad they had just about crashed into a reasonable price range (possibly with...
Been unfolding for a few days now but might as well have a post here.
Silicon Valley Bank is (or perhaps was) a relatively unknown bank to the public at large but it was not some fly by night regional bank and had some 216 billion US dollars of assets under management, and was in the top 20...

The fun police (in this case Netflix having grabbed rights in 2021 but Puffin are still doing various things as part of this, he died in 1990 so copyright is likely to last a while yet, UK being 70 years after the author’s death, the books being from the 1960s to a few just after his death for...
Watching the gameplay showcases back in November then it looked like a very interesting game, and this is from someone indifferent at best to Harry Potter (I read any number of trashy fantasy novels, and good ones too, but the books never did much for me and films I saw because they were on in...

In case you missed it then AI generated art has started to produce some phenomenal results
and also pretty good on more text based pursuits
Some artists are rather unhappy with these developments and unlike previous AI worries wherein some were rather concerned that a prompt for CEO did not...
You may get a form with your taxes this/next year called a 1099k. In it Paypal, venmo, ebay et al will have dobbed you in if you had transactions coming in above $600 USD (rather lower than many transactions totalling north of 20000 USD of years past).
It does not apply to things you sold at a...
So I was watching
A video detailing the prices of old tools in the US at least in the current year, and changes in the market compared to 5-10-15 years ago.
Now I like old tools (was watching a video about them after all and have a few posts around here detailing such things) but old games is...
Normally it is Disney buying other things (Marvel, Fox parts, Star Wars) however today some are speculating over whether Disney might be being sold to Apple.
General background. Disney's former CEO was replaced a couple of years back but now said replacement is kicked out and the original guy...
Few days late with this but oh well
First bit is character creator, so far so Skyrim really though a fair few sliders to play with. 9:18 for the gameplay and tour of the grounds, 30:50 for combat against a dummy, 34:26 for combat against AI characters.
I don't much care about Harry Potter...
Vulcalien recently announced a GBA port of Minicraft, a 2d adventure game from the original creator of Minecraft (and very much in the same theme) first released back in 2011 as part of a coding contest in which you had 48 hours to code something. Ports having previously been seen for the 3ds...
"Ew sports games" is a fairly widely echoed sentiment, be in playing them, seeing them litter the shelves, boxes and whatnot of second hand game shops and places you might find old games for cheap and the like (though can be a useful source of case replacements).
That said there are sure to be...
The once number 2 cryptocurrency exchange FTX seems to be collapsing under a pile of fraud, targeted fun and stupid decisions. There was a letter intent to have them taken over by the number 1 exchange (binance) but apparently they got a look at the books and were all "fuck that noise I am out"...
Didn't see a thread so might as well kick one off.
For those new to it all while the US presidential elections are every 4 years then in the middle of that (hence mid term) you get elections for all manner of other government roles, including the house of representatives (435 seats, which is...

Diddy - "I never touched her, that bitch is crazy." Video is released. Diddy - " Ok I did it, i am remorseful for my actions during my darkest times." Lol
Wish they would let us play the NCAA football 14 on newer xbox, its one of the only games I love and own on disc still, that is not back compatible, bs.
