NigelFrobisher,

A new movie from visionary director Tim Button starring Johnny Depp and whoever his wife is at the moment!

NigelFrobisher,

The art of the deal.

NigelFrobisher,

Imagine dropping into a room in Jetset Willy and falling to your death, then respawning and falling over and over til all your lives are gone.

NigelFrobisher,

That intern was Elon Musk.

Nostr continues to raise the bar on private, uncensorable online discourse

Note: “relay” is the nostr term while “instance” is the AP/Mastodon/Lemmy term. They are functionally very similar and offer the same abilities to ban annoying users from “public square” type spaces. Moderation works identically....

NigelFrobisher,

While I can see the value in speech that doesn’t exist at the whim of our corporate overlords, these are people who’d get beaten up if they tried to speak the way they do online in front of real people.

NigelFrobisher,

They should make one, but it’s twice as big and emits an ominous tritone drone even while on standby.

NigelFrobisher,

One of the hallmarks of fascism is that the enemy are simultaneously too strong - so we must militarise - and too weak, because we are the superior race and destined to prevail.

NigelFrobisher,

There’s only so many more times I can elect myself Supreme Planetary Leader as Brother Lal.

NigelFrobisher,

More genius naming. Black edition called “galaxy black”, because galaxies are famously very black. “Digital” editions don’t have a disc drive, so you can’t put optical discs containing digital data into them - but optical discs are still “special” at least, because Microsoft can’t remotely delete your library if it’s on read-only discs.

NigelFrobisher,

The gaming industry is taking this 1983 retro thing too far.

NigelFrobisher,

They should save the lay-offs for the big trade shows like this to generate buzz like the old “megaton” game announcements.

NigelFrobisher,

Games from last year will still be less than half of that though, right?

NigelFrobisher,

Sony are severely underestimating how many years I’m already behind on big “tentpole releases” (missus).

NigelFrobisher,

Crazy idea maybe, but what if the senior justiciary of his country weren’t political appointees?

NigelFrobisher,

None of them. Online play is not paywalled off on PC.

NigelFrobisher,

I went to school with Ian House. Absolute wanker.

NigelFrobisher,

Release date is set for ten years after Humanity becomes net carbon neutral.

NigelFrobisher,

If only I could be so grossly incandescent.

NigelFrobisher,

What ever happened with that Demis Hassabis game called Republic where they claimed that everything was simulated down to the level of individual leaves on trees? I totally missed that coming out in the end after all the ridiculous hype.

NigelFrobisher,

AI will be able to produce pre-flanderised scripts, saving time on the traditional process of the writer producingba script that is then butchered beyond recognition by executives to try and please everyone until it pleases no-one.

NigelFrobisher,

For me, it’s not such much not being interested in strategy, but because strategy games always seem to end up with a solved meta. There’s the obviously best thing to do, and then everything else is hard mode if you can be bothered with that.

NigelFrobisher,

Yo dawg, I heard you like AI.

NigelFrobisher,

We’ve got to move these microwave ovens. We’ve got to move these colour TVs.

NigelFrobisher,

The mid-gen console will be called Xbox 360 Series Two.

NigelFrobisher,

They’re gathering them all in one place for a mass layoff.

NigelFrobisher,

Nope nope nope

NigelFrobisher,

Thought the 360 era was longer than that. I went through two of them (opposed to no PS5s and whatever Xbox is called now).

NigelFrobisher,

They need two to do all the studio closures and laying off of staff.

NigelFrobisher,

God, it’s difficult enough having to talk to emotional people, and now this…

NigelFrobisher,

The franchising will continue until morale improves.

NigelFrobisher,

Is the hint to shoot the monsters because they shoot you? Because I already tried that.

NigelFrobisher,

Pray that I don’t alter the deal further.

NigelFrobisher,

Guess the PS4 is the last PlayStation I buy then.

So despite climate change, Australia's federal government has just committed an extra $3.25 billion into building a toll road and a 20-lane freeway widening.

For those who wonder why Aussies think toll roads are a scam (https://aus.social/@LesserAbe@lemmy.world/112405373613706682), here's a great example of why.

"Pouring an extra $3.25 billion worth of federal funds into Melbourne’s North East Link is a good use of taxpayer money, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has insisted, despite the project’s cost doubling just a few months ago.

...

"The North East Link – which includes 6½ kilometres of tunnels – will stretch from Bulleen to Greensborough. It will widen the Eastern Freeway by up to 20 lanes.

"Allan revealed in December that the 10-kilometre toll road had more than doubled in cost since it was first announced.

"The toll road was initially budgeted at $10 billion and reassessed in 2019 at $15 billion. But the government revealed last year that the updated cost estimate was $26 billion."

NigelFrobisher,

Cool, can we have a train line to the airport instead though?

NigelFrobisher,

Microsoft was actually a Sony plant all along, intended to buy up all their competition in the gaming sector and then go out of business.

NigelFrobisher,

It’d be nice if they made Steamdeck available in Australia before working on Steamdeck 2.

NigelFrobisher,

The thing is that most countries have a monopolies and mergers commission to make sure that anti-competitive sales are not happening, and the other thing is that politicians are humans who need a swimming pool so their daughter can practice swimming for the school team.

NigelFrobisher,

Love the idea of a train for birds.

NigelFrobisher,

Atari itself is already an old brand that was bought up and slapped on a new company in this manner.

NigelFrobisher,

Only interested if this is like Untitled Goose Game and you can go around Hobbiton using the One Ring to dick around with your neighbours.

NigelFrobisher,

Diablo isn’t an ARPG, it’s an inventory management simulator with light action elements.

None of these actually have any role-playing in them though.

NigelFrobisher,

At least any time they waste workshopping pointless mission statements is time they can’t spend inflicting UX pseudo-science on us.

NigelFrobisher,

Named after Higgs - the particle of God that permeates all existence

NigelFrobisher,

Skill issue

NigelFrobisher,

I’ll probably bin it. Every playlist goes into the same few songs recently.

NigelFrobisher,

Shit just got real

NigelFrobisher,

He should have it nearly built by now then.
