Gamers didn’t buy Concord or Marathon but Sony’s still doubling down on their liveservice emphasis. Companies don’t behave rationally. They’re run by personalities and cliques like any other organization.

You don’t even get the plastic anymore.

Companies are perfectly capable of making bonehead moves that lose them money. Sony’s made a few themselves already.

Guess Trump is going to have to tariff Oklahoma.

I wouldn’t recommend the no clothes thing on Trump.

Are we talking about all the people who’ve been Star Wars fans during the nearly 50 years that it’s existed, or the people who are still fans in 2026? I’d agree that Star Wars’ current fanbase is made up of insecure children, since everyone else checked out long ago.

Jar-Jar was introduced at a time when everyone had spent twenty years forming their idea of what a Star Wars movie should be like and he ran totally counter to that. Dobby was introduced in the second instalment of his series.

Waiting to get him back from Chuck Testa.

You’ll never undo it. America’s pre-Trump position in the world was due to the fact that it was the only major power left standing after World War II. After the rest of the world rebuilt itself America was entrenched enough to maintain its position through inertia. When that inertia’s gone, it won’t come back.

It’s not just Trump. It’s the Tea Party and Bush, too. We’ve spent the last quarter century looking over our shoulder waiting for the next catastrophe that Americans will cause and we’re sick of it.

He’s the J. J. Abrams of world leaders.

Compared to Trump he’s a genius, but that’s mostly because Trump could probably be diagnosed with a serious intellectual deficiency if any honest doctor got the chance to examine him.

In terms of real intelligence, Putin’s no mastermind, though. Americas problems can’t be blamed on Russian manipulation, since any manipulation on their part is inept at best. You got yourself into your current mess all by yourselves.

Do I look like I know what a jay-peg is?

We’re going to have a lot of data centres sitting idle when the AI bubble bursts.

3.6 Roentgen.

They thought it would be like the World Series.

It’s times like this that I wish I gave a shit about soccer. You can’t boycott something you were never interested in in the first place.
