"She's your mother! Show some respect" <- friends and family after every toxic, manipulative, narcissistic thing that woman did. The eternal free pass.

"I’m seeing a bunch of posts insinuating" - I think we're well past insinuating. Straight out declaring would be more accurate now. The man has no credibility left. No one trusts him with the truth, their money or their daughters. If I was a betting man I'd say his foreign handlers are already lining up the next candidate for the world stage. You can also tell, by the way, that none of the big media channels are buying it either. All you need to do is compare their coverage now with at the coverage of the assassination attempts of previous presidents. When Reagan got shot the whole world stopped to look. It was literally everywhere. This, so called, "attempt" was a small front page story that will be gone in a couple of days. The mid terms are coming. I expect more and more panicked moves between now and November.

I bought Dig 2 because of your comment. I'm three hours into it and it's lots of fun! (Edit: Also it's 90% discounted right now 😁)

Ooh I'll check that out. I had a go at the Steamworld Build demo a while ago. Maybe I should have another look.

 

"Step into a cinematic adventure as Darwin, a brilliant octopus trapped in a mysterious industrial world. Use his unique abilities - swimming, wall-climbing, shooting ink, camouflage, and more - to overcome traps and escape."

What other games are there like this that you can finish in a few hours?

So, correct me if I'm wrong by all means, but Google News is just the channel isn't it? Right now I'm seeing content on there from a dozen different news organisations (BBC, Reuters, Sky News, The Guardian, The Telegraph etc.)

What's the negative with it being conveyed via Google News?

This site needs more people to know about it (and it was only one guy called Iain MacDonald maintaining it. I think one other person joined him recently).

It's called NewsMap. It's a wall of headlines that updates over time. No distractions, no images and you can choose your region and the topics you want to see. The dude revived it after the original site went down for some reason a few years ago. Pretty cool, specially for my ADHD brain.

This is NSFW so I'll cover it in spoiler text...

The incident...In my teens I had warts in a very intimate place. Our insane family doctor handed me a bottle of Podophyllin (either mixed with salicylic acid or two bottles, I don't remember) and a toothbrush. He said to apply it wherever was needed. If you know about salicylic acid you will already know how insane that was. I slathered it on completely ignorant of the impeding consequences. It burnt my exit so badly I was scream crying constantly. Because the doctor had made it sound like he did a normal thing I though I was just being a baby. I remember spending a lot of time in baths being looked after by my then gf just in constant, near passing out, agony. It's easily the most pain I've ever experienced. Also, it didn't get rid of the warts!! I had to wait till many years later and a very gentle medicine called Aldara. No pain and no more warts, thank goodness.

Nvidia are making $750 million a day... I think they'll cope 🤣

Oh thank God.

Without looking I'm going to imagine he'll say Jimmy Savile. (Edit: Just checked and bingo... Savile was an utter scumbag pedophile who was said to have abused over 450 children. Evil living in plain sight.)

I wonder how all the "Lawsuit incoming" doomsayers feel now? They were so sure too, almost smug about it. In the end it was a massive gamble but it seems to have paid off hugely for them no?

 

It's not easy to describe but here goes. If I'm doing something for someone (the dishes, cooking a meal, tidying up, decorating a Xmas tree) and they don't know I'm doing it, then I hear them approaching (keys in the front door, the sound of someone getting out of bed upstairs) and I get a huge panicky feeling because if they discover me before I've finished it and they:

1 - Thank me 2 - Don't approve of what I've done 3 - Try to help me 4 - Change what I'm trying to do like "Oh thanks but there's a better table cloth in the cupboard. Here lemme get it" 5 - Try to correct what I'm doing

I will lose all motivation and feel immediately depressed cos I missed the big dopamine hit of going "Tadaaa".

I wonder if there's a term for that situation?

 

I run a small business and do a lot of networking and I've noticed that people aren't really handing out business cards anymore. Do you still use them?

 

No wrong answers. Could be a game show, docu-series, fiction, sci-fi, anything that didn't make it but should have.

 

I've been driving trains, learning how to build a medieval town and killing a bunch of zombies in Bel Air. How about you?

 

I know there are some notepads that divers use but I was more hoping for something specifically for the shower that I could maybe stick to the wall like a waterproof whiteboard maybe? I've had no success searching online unfortunately.

 

I have yet to meet anyone who enjoys a patronising grandad's voice, introducing a game while making terrible attempts at humor. The Universim did the same thing and it's just so grating. When did this become a thing?? Also, why do all the characters have floaty hands with no arms. In fact, there's so many odd design choices in this thing. It's a shame because there's a lot of work done here. I'd love to hear from anyone who finished the demo and enjoyed it.

 

It feels like it's really getting out of hand and the language of the negative reviews seems really fake too. I just bought a game that got review bombed and it was fine. From the reviews it sounded like it was going to destroy my graphics card, corrupt my hard drive and be full of bugs. Luckily I watched some gameplay vids and it turned out none of those things were true.

 

Is Winter Games 2023 still the most recent/best game I can do that with? It seems like such an under developed genre considering everything else in the entire world has a simulator game now.

 

Say it was the size of Corsica and traveling at the speed of a reversing truck and bumped into a land mass. Would it still be an extinction level event?

 

These days it's so hard to sort the marketing from the reality isn't it?

 

My brain squirrels cannot sit still long enough to focus on an ordinary news/current affairs website. It's all so painfully slow and boring. There was (a long time ago) a java script wall of news from all over the world that updated in real time. It closed years ago and I never found anything similar. It was just a wonderful mosaic of headlines and stories that didn't sit still. The mosaic felt alive and if something caught your attention you better click on it before it turns into something else! You kind of see things like this in some movies, where they look at a wall of info on a big screen and everything is moving and updating. It's not waiting for clicks. You have to chase it! Is there anything like that or maybe a site that lets you construct a bunch of real time feeds that update constantly?

p.s. I realise that to many what I'm describing probably sounds like hell on earth but to my brain squirrels it would be heaven 🤣

(Update the first: Looks like the Feedbro Add-on in Firefox is the closest I'm going to get at the moment)

(Update the second: Thanks so much to geekwithsoul for finding that old javascript site I was talking about. I never thought I'd see it again. I've added a pic of what it looks like on my wide screen. Now that's what I call a wall of information ❤️)
