Sen. Lindsey Graham is dead.  Good.  This man was an evil person.  He didn’t give two shits about all the raping and killing that the IDF and Israel has done in Gaza and no South Lebanon.  The man got giddy on Fox News when talking about the idea of bombing Cuba and taking it over.  He didn’t give two shits on Fox News about America bombing schoolgirls in Iran.  The man was an evil person.  You…

You know what sucks – that the only game there is for people who don’t want to do all the life sim stuff and instead just want to build homes is Architect Simulator.  And it’s not very good.  It has the bones of something cool and fun, but there’s too little stuff to do with it.  The Sims 4 has a dedicated build only mode.  You go onto a lot and you can select the build only option.  It gives you…

A professor at Brown University has gone viral after they decided to punish the students who they could OBVIOUSLY tell were cheating with AI.  See, there had been a shooting at Brown, and so, to avoid having them stressed out during the midterms, he had the test be take-home.  Seems this wasn’t the best idea, because this dude’s tests had a history of being crazy hard.  It’s a hard mathematics…

I’m starting to think that the executives at Sony are stuck sniffing each other’s farts, and are really liking the aroma.  It’s the only way I can explain their corporate behavior, giving the finger to their customer base and then not even pretending to care when they are upset by it.  It’s like they think they have infinite money, and that everyone is just going to buy what they sell, regardless…

Gotta say that today was at least a new experience.  For real, I have never had this experience before.  Never in my life have I had someone work so hard to get time to talk to me, just to give me the finger.  That’s impressive.  At 37, nearly 38 years of age, I haven’t been hoodwinked this hard in a LONG time.  I almost have to be impressed at the hatefulness of it.  The sure ugliness of being…

I couldn’t tell you how it happened, but I was on YouTube one day and I stumbled upon that scene in the 2001 movie AI when David is found by the robots in the future.  He is back at his home, and he instantly calls to his mother and runs looking for her.  Instantly I was crying.  Not even a split second went by and I was sobbing like a small child again.  It was the quickest reminder of how much…

I’m tired.  Again.  For the time when I was super sick, I was annoyed and felt like shit, but I was physically tired.  Now I’m back to being mentally and emotionally tired.  I hate it.  Back to reading the news and thinking to myself – this is the world I live in.  Back to getting job rejection emails and seeing as application after application after application slips through my fingers.  Over…

Part of me is starting to realize, the older I get, that nice things just aren’t happening for people who don’t have filthy rich money.  Unless you are super rich, you don’t get nice things.  We have corporations who do EVERYTHING in their power to make everything worse for everybody.  It’s impressive how much they go out of their way to make things suck.  Listen to the consumers of your…

Well, as of Sunday, I got the flu.  It came on suddenly, and it absolutely laid me out. I try not to be a stereotypical guy.  I am comfortable with femininity, actually respect women’s opinions and don’t feel the need to bother them.  To be fair, I am also super introverted, so I don’t really talk to anyone.  You know what’s ironic – I’m a titan.  So TONS of people bother me, and my introverted…

Something I totally forgot to talk about it in regards to all the “controversy” surrounding God of War Laufey, a common criticism that we got is that the game retconned 2018.  In that game, you are told that Fey is mortal, and only mortal.  That she did not have any god part of her at all.  It’s what made Loki so special.  He was born of a god from Kratos, and Fey as a mortal.  So how did she end…

Sony hates money.  That is what I have concluded after reviewing extensive evidence that has been given to me over the course of the last couple years.  It seems like every time they have a chance to learn from their mistakes, they don’t!  It’s almost impressive, how incapable this company is of making a better product.  Back during the PS4 era, they seemed to have it all figured out.  Everything…

I forgot this was happening until I saw stories about it yesterday from various people I follow online.  Footage from the opening night when there were supposed to be all these musical acts, but they ALL bailed, except for Vanilla Ice, who probably would do soggy cracker at this point, if there was money in it.  That dude is about as relevant as Pauly Shore, these days.  I could get into all the…

I don’t have proof of this, but it is making more and more sense, the longer I think about it.  PS5 has no games.  Now, the console itself isn’t selling.  Nothing is.  Xbox and Playstation are noticing that the sales of their products are in the toilet.  Now, both of them are coming up on new console releases, and if the rumors are true, they literally cannot delay them.  So the end of 2027 is…

Back when I was in college, getting my Bachelor’s in Journalism and Public Communication, I had a class where I walked a beat as a reporter and got stories.  Each week, we had to find a story and then follow up on it.  My beat was nothing special, but for the duration of that class, I actually did find some good stories.  My story about how a professor was deep into studying ACTUAL AI, not that…

Not sleeping in a cell bed was a form of liberation that Mary Jane hadn’t expected would be as liberating as it was, even if it was a cot.  There was the sound of the ventilation system, so the noise of Punisher snoring didn’t bother her especially much.  Come dawn, she felt a gentle hand rousing her to wake.  Looking up, she saw Elektra. “It’s time to rise, young one.” Seeing the daylight…

I hate this awful world that I live in.  I truly do.  Every day things seem to get worse.  I hear that the AI bubble is starting to pop.  That makes me happy.  the idea of rich people losing astronomical amounts of money and all that AI infrastructure having to be repossessed by banks and then them selling it just tickles me pink.  Sure, there is the fact that it will destroy the ENTIRE economy…

Let’s talk more serious business.  There are things swirling around the gaming space and as I hear what’s going on, I’m left absolutely baffled.  Why?  Because I’m starting to feel like gaming has lost the plot, and needs some course correction.  There’s a rumor that a popular leaker has gotten spread around saying that Sony literally cannot delay the PS6 to between 2028 – 2030.  They are going…
