VisionQuest isn't great. Some of it's good, the main cast especially, but not enough to make up for the bad: the protagonists (esp. Cunk), every single character having mandatory trauma, the writing by someone who's never been to Britain despite it being based there for tax purposes.

If you get caught shoplifting in Britain, you have to get a prison bus (not a thing) from near Tower Bridge to a Sanitarium (not a thing) while one of the Black Watch electrocutes you with a taser baton (not a thing). I'm surprised they didn't have dementors.

It's National Black Cat Day in the UK. This was started by Cats Protection in 2011, after they found that black cats were taking longer to be rehomed. This is crazy to me, Black Cats are so beautiful.

Bukayo Saka has won the Sócrates Award, a #BallonDor honor recognizing social and humanitarian commitment. On stage, he read a message from a young boy in Rwanda who received medical treatment thanks to the NGO BigShoe, an organization the English footballer collaborates with.

IFTTT has gone all in on AI features and is now introducing "usage-based pricing". I'm not loving paying for other people's tokens. It's going to work out cheaper to run my own server and do all this stuff myself.

It's easy to miss genuinely good new C64 games as they are being drowned out by slop. This is an outstanding new game; I didn't think a #c64 game could be this close to Sensible Soccer.

Arlasoft has released Arlasoft Soccer, a football game for the C64 and C128 inspired by Sensible Soccer. Features include friendlies or a 16-team cup, penalty shoot-outs, 8 skill levels per team, six formations, and seven pitch types. #c64 itch: https://arlagames.itch.io/arlasoft-soccer

There were twenty-one Commodore 64 games posted on itch in the last twenty-four hours. Every single one of them uses AI-generated content, including the one tagged as AI-free. #c64

This looks great. All of the Wizball conversions are not good, so it's nice to see people fixing that.

Here it is then- a new enhanced 2026 version of #Wizball for the #ZXSpectrum with many new features & game improving tweaks. I hope you all like it. Feel free to let us know what you think (be nice!) Many thanks to Leigh Ashton. gravious.itch.io/wizball-enha... #OceanSoftware #RetroGaming

Even if you ignore the nazis and the CSAM, "X isn't the dumpster fire it was three years ago" still doesn't make sense because of the whole getting paid to go viral feature, which has made the place full of vaguebait, ragebait and stolen content.

I have seen zero evidence that this strike has any effect on Social Media posting.

Zelensky: "When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations. Because there were fewer bots. It’s pretty clear where those bots were."

This is such bullshit. He was in The Daily Wire's "Mr Birchum" back in 2024, and people called that out then, too.

So Danny Trejo was manipulated and tricked into being in Ben Shapiro's newest film. Holy shit.

Right. It seems I upset people because I was happy about Destiny 2 unvaulting content. Obviously, this does not mean I am happy about the massive job losses at Bungie, and I think that was a bad thing. FFS.
