    P&R Funnies!

    I feel incredibly ancient for being able to remember when restaurants still had smoking sections, and unlike almost everything else that makes me feel old, I am extremely OK with that.

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Or that you can at least take out some of the bastards with you on the way out. Seriously, I hope we start getting reports of sabotage, fragging, and outright treason among the Russian troops as they start to figure out what they've been pushed into.

    Activision-Blizzard Thread: Just announced the Layoffs of 1900 jobs.

    Ah yes, Overwatch 2. Yes, please, give us more reminders of your plans to make people buy the game they already own a second time in order to be allowed to keep playing it by pretending it's a different game. That'll distract us from what a shitty company you are, I'm sure.

    Activision-Blizzard Thread: Just announced the Layoffs of 1900 jobs.

    Another shocking twist: Allegations that Activizzard has California's governor in their pockets. Depending on what develops, we might have to move this thread to P&R.

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    I'm confused; I thought the BBC was the public channel and Channel 4 (formerly ITV) was the private one, and that's what made them distinct back in your equivalent of our "only three channels" era. Am I to believe now that Channel 4 is more like your version of PBS?

    Sonic The Hedgehog

    It's because someone other than Sega is in charge of the writing. It's been a consistent pattern throughout his lifetime that Sonic Team can't write storylines or characterization for jive, but other people keep proving it can be done.

    Police behaving badly

    Betcha it was the threat to "seize power" that actually got him sacked.

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    I guess I'm glad he hasn't run out of things to reach across the aisle over, but really, approving a Supreme Court appointment is one of those things that shouldn't require much reaching. I'm not sure what I'd have to google to find this out, but I'd reckon it used to be common for those to get...

    Return to Monkey Island

    So does that mean this comes between 2 and Curse? Because he's been saying for ages that he has his own idea of what happened after 2 and what its ending meant. And whatever it is, it's gotta be better than the cosmic shrug we got from his teammates after he left. I'm glad he's back to working...

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Is there an election between now and when any intelligent person would realize "If they were gonna do it, they would have done it by now"? Oh, who am I kidding; our Democrats have been holding literally every issue over their voters' heads for decades and no one's caught on yet.

    Playstation Thread.

    Sadly, developers seemingly have to be dragged kicking and screaming into supporting hardware features that other platforms don't have. Think about how many first-person shooters came out on the PS4 and didn't support gyro aim. Including some that got it when they were ported to the Switch...

    Playstation Thread.

    I started watching Pat Boivin's (of Two Best Friends Play fame) playthrough of the Demon's Souls remake, and he said when his sword hits a wall, it feels like you're holding a thing that just scraped against a wall. I don't even know what that means! Shame demo kiosks died in the pandemic...

    Probably the same timeline where Hurricane Katrina happened during Obama's presidency.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    That megacorp, and others like them, are more to blame for fascists getting into positions of power in the first place than anyone else is. If it weren't for their willingness to overlook those policies on the grounds that it means less taxes and fewer regulations, and donate millions to their...

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Europe is also pushing hard for clean energy, so they'll probably just dump more funding into that and hope for the best.

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Yeah, I get the sentiments behind those who've been making parallels between this and Bush invading Iraq (especially in terms of how the rest of the world responded), but they are also not literally the same in all aspects. Bush wasn't trying to make Iraq the 51st state, and Putin isn't going to...
