(fake) Tom Scott video thumbnail featuring 1973's The Wicker Man. "Can this ritual bring their apples back?" I will be blocking anyone who makes an "oh god the bees" reference, that is a different movie not worthy of discussion.

"The Scottish island of Summerisle, home of the best fruit in Britain. The first thing you notice? No churches. The farmers here practice a fascinating form of pre-Christian worship…and I just learned I'll be playing the lead role in their annual May Day festival. First stop: my costume fitting."

"It's so refreshing to be cutting about with a boot-full of hammers, battering guys for money" got a good belly-laugh out of me

When I was 27 a woman on the tube asked me about the mobile game I was playing and I earnestly explained the rules of Hitman GO for 10 minutes until she excused herself and went to wait by the door for her stop

The Criterion Collection? What, like all the Burnout games plus the experimental first person shooter "Black"?

Can’t wait for everyone to realise that the main (only?) thing people liked about Firefly was the quippy dialogue that’s since become completely played out after a decade and a half of Marvel.

Fuck man this is so good

I think this is the correct move by Google. I also think there’s a certain irony in Google penalising AI-generated content whilst its own AI overviews decimate the traffic it sends to sites across the web.

Being on an EU-hosted server was part of the appeal for sure, but if I’m being honest I mainly did it out of curiosity to see how the process worked, and to “vote” (for want of a better term) for a more diverse ATprotocol ecosystem

Just completed my move to Eurosky, complete with custom domain handle, and the whole process was amazingly quick, painless, and with (as yet) no change BlueSky’s usability.

Forget the Lord’s Prayer, fucking Ryan Moloney of all people popped up in my dream last night because of all Matthew’s chat about the moral corruption of Neighbours

100 percent agree, I feel like I'm going mad seeing people bashing Discord or hoping that a new service grows to replace it when any competitor is going to get backed into the exact same corner!

@waldosgift.bsky.social yooo what happened???

fuck man, that’s a fine looking door

Got told I was “unusual” by an absolutely massive man wearing dungarees in a pub bathroom after he saw me wash my hands prior to using the urinal.

Context: I had just eaten a very greasy burger and wanted to clean my hands before touching my penis and yes, I washed them a second time afterwards.

Opinion | Martin Scorsese: ‘Rob Reiner Was My Friend’

I've seen this going around today and it's beautiful, so here's a gift link.

The cutscenes in MGS1 remake The Twin Snakes were originally far more faithful to the original. But after Kojima saw an early version he fed back that they should be punched up, leading to the Matrix-y bullet time cinematics in the final game

The single dumbest gadget I want to will into existence is an E-Ink Steam Deck so I can read visual novels in bed without blasting screen light at my eyes

You don't even have to be able to do the voice tbh. The only option currently is a Brazilian man with a thick-ass accent

Don't ask me how I know this, but the market for Dominic Toretto impersonators on Cameo is absolutely terrible. Great opportunity for a hench bald guy who owns a pair of sunglasses to absolutely clean up

I've found myself theatrically taking notes when playing video games at my desk for work occasionally, just so people know I'm Taking Things Seriously

fun fact: in Soviet Russia fish holds man in Hinge profile picture

why is being able to cook considered attractive when most cooking is just following simple instru… actually no wait I get it now

Bioshock infinite character dancing, holding baguette in two hands

Seriously considering dressing up as Bioshock's dancing baguette boy this Halloween

aces! thx

oooh, which youtuber?

Excited to have heard myself mentioned in the latest episode of @backpagepod.bsky.social, thus securing my place in the canon of UK video games journalism as “guy who was excited about the announcement of Metroid Prime 4 at E3 2017”

This looks amazing, congrats on the launch! Is there an option to filter by platform?
