The company announced during its most recent earnings call that half of all the $300 Xbox’s users are completely new to the ecosystem.

SOMA is quite good, basically a walking sim with light puzzle solving, and a couple stealth sequences (that are easy), but great atmosphere, great story. If you’ve wanted to return to Rapture with a different story (which, now that I think about it, is a bit more in line with Bioshock Infinite. heh), check it out.…

Little oculus headsets for your toes.

It fundamentally can’t be fixed because the idea itself doesn’t work.

This is both an apt commentary on the futility of isolated leftist action and its tentative links to bourgeois politics, and a sad indication of how difficult it will be to sustain the level of thought required to create true collective recognition of capital and the violence it produces. Maybe seeing it travel from…

Read about this over the weekend. It all seems tragically ironic but also, exactly the sort of thing Disco Elysium talked about, Capital absorbing it’s critiques. The bottling and selling of rebellion against itself. The anarchic-communist revolution sponsored by Pepsi.

we are starting this week with a shit ton of cool stuff executed behind a barn, aren’t we?

Or they charge you overdraft fees larger than your net worth when you accidentally spent an extra 37 cents…

PLAY. THIS. GAME.

We’re as post covid as we will ever be.

I fucking loved The Last of us Part 2, it’s just really really really tragic. It’s the most tragic story I’ve ever experienced in a video game. It is by design meant to make you feel shittier after each play session. But I wrote a lot of crit about it and it stayed in my mind to make up for it.

What’s funny is that CNN spun off a separate network, HLN, for exactly that reason. But now it just shows garbage docuseries and true crime stuff. Now to get that, you have to go to CNN International, which is a paid subscription.

Good list - with one caveat. It’s your dog. Do not let your vet pressure you into treatments that will extend a life, when that life may be miserable.
