UK hosted Eurovision in 2023, it would be very hard to top those numbers this year.
You're not wrong, but it was also kind of a cultural moment and it's weird that it was disappeared entirely. Most games like that have long tails of focus creep, neglect, crapware, or irrelevance, but Flappy Bird went out with a pop.
Cool, I didn't know that existed.
But honestly, I want something like a 4-5" screen, what used to be normal, it would actually be a hand-sized device.
ChatGPT is pretty crap branding too, for the record. They just somehow managed to mainstream it. All the LLMs after it try to have cooler names (Bard, Copilot, etc.) but the kludgy first name is still better known.
That article was charming! I like that guy, and I like his gaming ethos. Play what you like, there is no "best game," and you can find things to like in a lot of games.
Puppets have been used in comedy and cultural commentary since Punch & Judy and before. Dickens would have dug it.
The engineer was critiquing NC infrastructure
Well, good, a lot of North Carolina road infrastructure is dangerous bullshit, and members of the public shouldn't be stymied by state panels from pointing out that road deaths have been increasing in North Carolina, despite fewer vehicle miles traveled.
Non-paywalled article here:
Officers arrested one of the bar's owners because he refused to show them ID? The officers just crashed into his bar in the middle of the night, he gets out of bed to see what that loud noise was, and they arrest him because he won't show them ID? In Missouri police can only ask to see ID if there is a reasonable suspicion of some wrongdoing, and I can't see that a building owner is doing anything wrong when he checks on the probationary cops that just plowed into his building because they suck at driving or were driving too fast.
Gaslight customers seems to be Tesla's standard operating procedure. They also did that with the software that faked higher vehicle range.
Absolutely infuriating.
A spokesperson for the campaign said: “Section 7 of the Public Order Act 2023, a law drafted by the fossil fuel lobby, was introduced in April by Priti Patel, and covers ‘interference with the use or operation of key national infrastructure’. It seems this government has now made walking down the road, walking on the public highway an illegal act that is worthy of imprisonment.
Congrats to every news outlet that covered this ambush hearing breathlessly, you've done exactly what House Republicans wanted you to do. The thin façade of pearl-clutching over anti-semitism, from a caucus that courts neo-Nazis, was utterly transparent. But they wanted to attack elite universities, and every news outlet gave them a megaphone and context-free coverage.
Journalists still haven't learned how to cover an extremist party that has no policy agenda and is only interested in culture wars and scoring political points.
Finally got around to Talos Principle (the first one) and it's as good as people said.
I also started playing some space battles in Empire at War on "Star Wars Day" (May the Fourth) and find that level of not-very-challenging RTS kind of soothing, so I'm back to playing that for a bit.
