EA just killed Bioware and the next Mass Effect, in development since at least six years. "Around 50 staff had been working on a new Mass Effect that is now canceled." This period is a never-ending nightmare.

The 8-Bit Guy coming after all of you for making fun of his AI movie (after he picks up a footlong).

i rebooted minesweeper as a AAA shooter. loot boxes coming soon minesweeper.mikelacher.com

some months ago I simplified "mental health burden and emotional labor cost" to "psychic damage", which has mostly worked now that everyone is a nerd, except apparently my 7yo then used it unironically when talking to a friend's parents and now my life is actually MORE complicated

Is it just my imagination or is A.I. art everywhere now? My thoughts are with the 95% of professional artists who will be out of work within the next few years while everyone else just accepts this bland shite.

I'm almost 50. My own mortality comes to mind more often now. I only became a dad in my 40s. My health isn't the best and I sometimes wonder how my end will come. I'm weighing up the risk factors: 1. Heart disease 2. Stroke 3. Cancer 4. Traffic accident 5. That fucking Duplo elephant.

One of the last of the classic British boffins.

I really wish he would. I'm so tired of US politics.

You've got a 5¼ floppy disk. You wrote "Wipeout" on it. There's an NFC tag inside the disk. You slide it into the disk slot on your custom wood panelled retro gaming box. #Batocera runs Wipeout for the PSX. A tear runs down your dad's cheek as he tells you he loves you.

Trying to organise my life. Couldn't find a #Cinnamon desklet for displaying my #todo.txt so I've cobbled one together. #WorkInProgress but it does the basics. #CopingWithADHD #FocusPulling #VibeCoding github.com/PRAEst-76/to...

I bloody love Clue. RIP Tim. Not unexpected, but always hits when a bonafide legend dies... Legend. There's another cult classic.

Indie Retro News: Deadband - This atmospheric Amiga game by Remanence Games is worth checking out [DEMO UPDATE] www.indieretronews.com/2026/06/dead... #retrogaming #amiga #games

Post a perfect album from the 90's that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice in Chains.

Why has no-one done Trump being given a Jim Fixed It For Me medal by a small British urchin? You'd think that would be an obvious one... @sirpaintalot.bsky.social ?

My lofty goal for 2026 is to be able to squat on my knees for longer than 20 seconds without needing 'a bit of a sit down' afterwards to recover. Just did 5 minutes of yoga for kids with my daughter and I'm knackered.

For a while now I've been increasingly suspicious of anyone still using X as their main social media presence. Now I realise it's for the kiddie-porn as much as the hate-porn. What a cesspool.

I don't use the phrase often, but this is a "game changer". romm.app Installs with Docker, scrapes your roms, and runs them in your browser with EmulatorJS. #ROMM #RetroGaming #FOSS

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam This is where we're at now.

#EarwormOfTheDay Psychic TV - Godstar youtu.be/s1yr8w_vZ5E?... (Not sure what it says about the state of my head that I've got a Psychic Tv song as an earworm. Stuck at home all week with a belurgied toddler. That's probably it.)

I love Baker's Who. "You haven't touched anything have you Harry?" "Me?" "Well, there are only two of us here and your name *is* Harry."

Been binging Doctor Who from the start since summer. Now got to the classic Tom Baker era. It has my favourite title sequence, probably because it's the one I saw first as a child. That time-tunnel effect still looks good.

Playnite may get a Linux version during 2026 as the creator plans a move to Linux #Playnite #Linux

Hear me out: Modern AAA role-playing video game... *but* there is no map or log. You have to keep a paper quest log and use graph paper for mapping like in the 80s. #GameConcepts #MadNotions

My #EarWormOfTheDay. One of the best TV themes ever. youtu.be/6Sy_MXRta8o?...

They did. I knew all my friends and families phone numbers off by heart when I was a kid. Couldn't tell you what my own number is now though, never-mind anyone else's.

#EarwormOfTheDay Thanks to my daughter. This one has actually been living in my head rent-free since the mid-eighties. youtube.com/watch?v=TyHX...

#EarwormOfTheDay - Depeche Mode 'Told You So' ...because they bloody did! youtube.com/watch?v=vAP9...

I've been wondering what those QR codes were that have been posted all over town. Apparently they are links to yer ma's onlyfans. TBH, there's not going to be much on there we all haven't already seen...

I'm all for digital archiving and data preservation and I wholeheartedly support the work of the #internetarchive, however I can't help but think that the proliferation of product there that is still otherwise commercially available is going to kill it in the end.

How come sites don't use RSS anymore? Is it not a thing these days? Not cool with the kids? Am I out of touch? No web forums, no news feeds... I just don't understand this world anymore.

Developers: If your app features a pop-up window asking me to rate the app before I've had a chance to actually use the app, then the app automatically gets 1 star. Winds me right up, that does.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif

- Daddy? - Yes, son? - What does 'regret' mean? - Well, son... a funny thing about regret is; that it's better to regret something you have done, than something you haven't done. And by the way, if you see your mom this weekend, will you be sure and tell her...
