Elementary, my dear Mr. Putin.

This dude gives me the same vibes as Mojo Jojo in that episode of The Powerpuff Girls, where he’s protected by a bunch of dumb hippies.

“Not so fast, Mojo Jojo!”
“Help, I’m being oppressed!”
“Not so fast, Powerpuff Girls!”

The biggest challenge of the interview was the translator trying to understand what Tucker Carlson was saying with his mouth full.

Well, better DO something about it then!

God made herpes, and I don’t want that, either.

“If you only knew how tired I was of you calling me that!”

Sorry, been watching too much BTAS again.

Belarus! The country whose existence you only know about from Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?!

Mission accomplished. Many, many times over.

Have less babies, have more babies! Geez, China, make up your minds!

Haw haw!

SORRY, I THOUGHT YOU WERE ELON MUSK. END STATEMENT.

There are too many of these goddamned social networks anyway. After Twitter/X exploded, everyone else wanted to grab a piece of that pie, and now we’ve got a dozen social networks nobody uses.

If you want a progressive social network that doesn’t take shit from goosesteppers, Cohost is probably the place to go. It’s so neurodivergent and trans-friendly that I can’t imagine them blithely accepting Nazi content. It’s just not how Cohost works. “Blah blah blah, free speech!” Not here, chumps. We’ve got standards. Go somewhere else to push that poison.

Glad to see SOMEONE in the world takes this sort of thing seriously.

Shoot ink on paper. That’s all you need to do. Don’t give me a built in screen, or onerous firmware, or any of that nonsense.

Remember when Domino’s Pizza admitted that their pizza was shit, and that they’d work really hard to make it less shit? How’d that work out for them?

Pirated kids are never as good as the originals.

Pro-Nazi content. In other words, Elon’s own posts.

It doesn’t matter. I’m not a Twitter user anymore. The site has lost both its value and influence… I really don’t give a damn what the man-baby does with his toy.

Maybe we should follow Trump’s advice from 2016 and explore the second amendment option.

That controller doesn’t actually work with an Xbox Series though, right? It’s for cloud gaming.

I despise this decision. I should be able to tailor my experience to my liking, especially since I don’t play games online. What’s the harm in letting me have a joypad with six buttons on the front? It’s literally what Capcom fighting games are designed to use. Why can’t I have a D-pad that works well with fighting games? The Xbox Series controller is better than last generation’s joypad (and much better than the generation before that), but for some of us, it’s still not good enough.

Also, it’s unlikely that 8bitdo will buy a license to make controllers for the Xbox. It’s the least popular console of this generation. You’re charging for the right to make controllers for a game system that’s well behind its competitors. Why do that when you can make controllers for the Switch or the PC, where you can sell more product at a lower cost? It’s just… stupid.

Still waiting for it to arrive. I got it for half off on Woot, and got in just in time to grab a Mai!

Microsoft sure loves blocking things from its game console nobody actually wants to use in the first place. Who exactly is going to want to buy a license to make video game controllers for the system that’s last place in the console wars? Specialty controllers like the Neo-Geo click stick by 8BitDo are almost sure to be released for major formats, but NOT Xbox, if 8BitDo has to pay an extortionate fee for a license.

He should start a game company with Don Mattrick and the ghost of Bernie Stolar. Then everyone will know which games NOT to buy, just like back in the days of Acclaim.

I thought Wolf already went public domain because the creator got the high hard one from Warner Brothers.

Elon Musk takes the socialization out of social networks! What an innovation!

One day it’s “Trump beats Biden in polls,” the next it’s “Democrats are on a winning streak.” Yeesh, I can’t keep up. The oooooonly poll that matters is the one on election day.

Gosh, I kind of really hate their new art style.

Here’s one for 'ya!

Retro game news, edited by yours truly. (I gotta update this thing; it’s been a couple of days.)

I love the guy on Jimmy Kimmel who plays him in comedy sketches. Is it live, or is it Memorex?

That rope would provide a more comfortable sleep than his pillows. (And a much LONGER one.)

Crack. It’s crack.

What kind of bug? A Spanish fly?

Recognizable in spite of the dated technology. Next to the dude with three quarters of an afro on The IT Crowd, he’s my favorite TV aspie!

STOP. SUPPORTING. TORIES. GODDAMN IT.

Honestly, what’s the first thing out of a British person’s lips? “I hate Tories, they’re ruining this country.” Yet they keep getting elected anyway. Can… can you see the problem with this? They pretend to be populist, but invariably steal from the poor and give to the rich. Stop falling for the bullshit and for your own prejudices and vote for people who will actually help the common man. Don’t make the same mistakes we Americans keep making!

They demand everything, and if they don’t get it, they stay home on election day, let Trump win, and let the world burn. Because that’s what a mature and reasonable person does. They stomp their feet, then snatch the ball away and go home.

So his platform is “hang everybody BUT Mike Pence.”

You know how the Sega Saturn had a four meg RAM cart? There’s your solution! Sell a four GIG RAM cart for the Xbox Series S! Maybe it’d have a connector on the other end for storage cartridges. You know, make your own little tower of power.

(Honestly, I get the impression that after all this complaining, a Switch version of Baldur’s Gate 3 will mysteriously materialize. So much for your talking point, Larian!)

Is this that silly Q thing I heard about earlier? (Fun fact: the Vita provides similar functionality with actual portability!)
