Humans doing the hard jobs on minimum wage while the robots write poetry and paint is not the future I wanted

youtu.be/xqab9nQImK0 Opening a sealed game from 1988 and playing it because he wants to play it, it belongs to him and it makes him happy. Perfection.

From tomorrow 115,000 postal workers take their 15th and 16th days strike. Royal Mail are making no genuine attempt to resolve the dispute and want to starve people back to work, destroy their terms and conditions and rip up a 500 year old service. RT if you back your postie

The unique instance where I actually liked Superman over Spiderman as a child, but only because they'd inflicted pickled bloody onion flavour onto Spiderman. Fairly sure that even the Barbecue Beef made the roof of my mouth sore, though.

Some people wonder why some of us often play older games. Well, I like new experiences as much as anyone else, BotW being my most recent WOW moment. However, I can't find a racing game that allows beautiful pastel visuals and smooth jazz fusion with amazing gameplay. R4 has that.

In 1996, a 13-episode series intended to be an introduction to the concepts, wide-ranging reach, and quirks of this thing called The Internet was released. It was called "Life on the Internet", and it is a truly intense core sample. youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…

Sometimes I want to replay a video game because interacting with its mechanics is fun, but sometimes it's because I merely want to exist in its world again. I've said elsewhere that kids understand this better than adults who just look for how to beat the game and move on.

Scalextric were well ahead of Lego in terms of computer game translations. It didn't work our quite as well for them, unfortunately.
