Nothing wrong with a, i, s and x.

You can actually shoot them in this one, but I’d recommend throwing at least a little bit of piss and shit first. Manners cost nothing.

I mean, that’s what publishers have been charging money for for way too long.

There’s been like three versions of The Last of Us 1, and I’ve got games older than that on my back list.

I do like Mini PCs, but I kind of wish there was an easy way to get a solid GPU into it. There’s those weird docks but they’re far from standard, and it would be nice if the GPU had a similar form factor, so you could just stack them up like a MiniPC on top of it like an old hi-fi separates system.

Slap a storage box on it as well for some HDDs, baby you got a server going.

Both Linux and MacOS look fairly flat overall, with a few spikes for Mac. What did happen was iOS and especially Android went to the moon.

Most people had a PC for a bit of light office work, emails and storing pictures. All of that can be done on a phone and more besides. It’s not great that a handful of Silicon Valley techbros are holding everyone’s data to ransom, but that’s what the masses are doing.

I said the real microdrive.

Alright, no limit, but every week we guillotine the top one.

Yes, that’s why they’re at home all day, and ignoring all the well paid jobs out there with free healthcare that I’m sure they’d get if they just went door to door with a résumé like these ghouls pretend they did in the 1950s.

I thought that was methadone, or did Trainspotting lie to me?

I’d like to thank a childhood of having no friends to offer me any drugs for keeping me away from a lifetime of addiction.

“Having trouble quitting heroin? A little bit of heroin can really alleviate those cravings!”

This thing has been trained on social media. Is that really wise?

Yeah, read a couple of sources and take the average.

Always bear in mind who funds it.

Who still uses DVD to install anything?

Well look on the bright side. AI is about to become really good at drawing penises under fat bellies.

I got it cheaper during an Epic Store sale, but not by much.

Grab it anyway and the DLC, because it’s amazing. And listen when it tells you to play with a controller. Really. So many people bounce off it because they can’t fly the ship. Mouse and keyboard really is not the way.

Guardians of the Galaxy was surprisingly good. More so than the movies, the game gives all the characters their due time.

Just make sure to stop when people speak, otherwise you’ll go past the invisible point that makes them stop and then you’ll miss out on the dialogue.

Could have taken some notes from God of War there.

A bizarre decision.

Every paywalled news site is a news site I don’t read.

I mean, nobody likes adverts, but I think even fewer people like paying.

The US may have effectively banned it, but everybody else is buying loads of it.

As far as I can tell it’s operating at capacity. China’s installing it for the same reason everyone else is. It’s cheap as chips. Power stations take a lot of planning and management, while you can take a few acres of fields and effectively turn it into a money generator with no moving parts.

I’d have got some myself, but my house faced the wrong way to get in on the free solar panels boom, and the up front costs mean it won’t pay itself back for like 20 years. I was tempted once the prices went through the roof when Russia invaded Ukraine, but I moved to a tariff priced every 30 minutes or so and the benefits vanished. I might as well let a local farmer build it all instead.

They were also responsible for 95% of the world’s new coal construction (2023). With just 1/5th of the world population.

I’ll give them props for solar. They build a lot of it, and thanks to us outsourcing practically everything to China over the last few decades, they build most of our solar as well.

You could certainly have both systems in place, with it always picking the lowest.

But you do want to avoid daft things, like seeing a parked lorry with “I’m speed to limited to 50” written on it, with the 50 in a red circle, and the car goes “50? Brilliant!” and zooms off past a school.
