    Drinking songs/songs about booze.

    Video chat programs that work between phones and PC and only want email to sign up.

    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.

    Controllers that substantially changed during system lifetime.

    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...

    Silicon Valley Bank collapse (among others), more than just a small private bank collapses and has implications for tech and media.

    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...

    Hogwarts legacy. Harry potter universe game. Anybody playing/waiting/skipping?

    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...

    Americans. Don't ignore the 1099k form on your taxes this year.

    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).

    How are people finding car boot sales, yard sales, thrift shops, charity shops and such for games these days?

    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...

    What sports game/simulated sport do you want to see back in game form?

    "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...

    Anybody following the fall of the FTX crypto exchange?

    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"...
