I love feeling vindicated after Animal Well came out. Hope people who were yelling about this are eating some serious crow.

On the whole Dunkey starting a game publishing company

So remember a little while ago when it was announced the youtuber Dunkey was going to start a game publisher and everyone took it as a chance to basically say they hoped he failed etc etc? I'm not a fan of Dunkey but to everyone who was on about hoping he fails etc. WTF people? Seriously WTF? More publishers in gaming is a good thing. Shut the hell up trying to stop Dunkey throwing money into gaming devs and small studios.

Let the dude try, what's the worst result? We get some subpar games made that wouldn't have been made otherwise? Oh no. Who knows maybe Dunkey will stumble on something good because it's some weird game no other publisher would take a chance on.

It really seems like snooty elitism and almost corporatism that was the cause of a lot of the people sneering at the idea of Dunkey trying something else.

Hell imagine if you couldn't try something new too. Everyone has to start somewhere and Dunkey will have to learn to do game publishing like people learn new things all the time.

Also somewhat ironic it was mostly the people who yell about toxicity in gaming and how gaming is so toxic and needs fixing and to change who were all sneering at the idea and on about how awful Dunkey is and they hope he fails.

Quick question, do you know about the Republicans and Donald Trump’s Project 2025?

Yes, has that been approved though pretty sure it was meant to be waiting until the RNC before it got official approval as such? Also didn't Trump himself literally make remarks distancing himself from it...........

Some-one tries to kill Trump. Every person with Trump Derangement syndrome:

How has no-one done a meme combining Captain America: Brave New World with the Trump assassination yet?

I'm pretty tempted to do it myself actually there's so much to work with. The Secret service calling "Eagle Eye in the air" and then cutting to a clip of Sam flying.

So stick with me but Deadpool 3 should have a scene with Kevin Hart in it.

So not that this will happen but it would be funny. So with Wolverine and Deadpool jumping through different universes I kind of want to see them have Kevin Hart turn up as a Wolverine variant. When they meet Deadpool looks at him and comments "Something doesn't look right about you as Wolverine, you're too short"

Hart's Wolverine then looks at Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and goes "you're just too use to this guy, he's too tall" Just as a sort of self aware joke about Hugh Jackman being far taller than comic book Wolverine and also because Kevin Hart has to be the butt of 90% of Hollywood short jokes, it's basically law at this point.

Also am I the only one who finds it ironic they picked the Men loving women as the one with an animal using their tongue and not women loving other women??

When the Doctor Who writers decide the show still needs to go in a new direction.

AKA me totally misreading the headline and thinking the new series really was going off the rails for a moment there.

Today A.I. porn, tomorrow, your slash fiction.

I'm amazed at just how much furore there has been over the Taylor Swift AI porn. There's been porn fakes for years and this is just the newest tech. I mean you going to ban people from using photoshop too?

What about the weird celebrity porn fiction out there? Nah the issue isn't this shit existing. It's people sending it to the people involved and deliberately making them look at it. You think this will end with images? Nah mark my words this will go further and I bet plenty of people on the "Ban this sick filth" / "Men are awful for doing this" train will regret it when it comes for some Markiplier x Jacksepticeye slash fiction shit or something.

I forget who it was but it was a youtuber guy who said before he was skeeved out by this stuff and just don't send him the stuff you make. Only for him to get bombarded by thousands of angry people because of it........... Funny how the tables have turned

And the Schitzo troll is back....... great

Free of this guy for months, but seems like he's back for 2024. I ain't dealing with this shit this year. I'm done being nice and concerned I might make this whacko more ill somehow by my actions. Just a warning to anyone who ends up dealing with this guy he's not right in the head and will just keep this shit up for days. I'm done with him, I rarely use the block function but dude has earned it and if it makes him more ill somehow, I don't fucking care anymore.

Some-one should tell the IDF to stop creating battle plans after film night.

Why Google ads is making me consider ad blocking now.

Dear hypothetical google developer or executive reading this possibly because a developer or some-one else on break found it and it went up to the chain to you, I really have tried to be good and help support creators somewhat by keeping ads on and not blocking them with ad block. I don't mind some ads if it keeps the service free and gets people paid. What I do have issue with is what finally happened today. I had the 50th advert this week for one of those crappy mobile games and it was the normal crappy mobile game style of advert (the one where the hero has to fight enemies of the right level to level up, you know the ones). Now earlier this month I started getting these and it was fine for a bit, ok not had any of these for a while so I'll endure a few. Then it was more and more apparent they were AB tested adverts. For those who don't know AB testing is when companies put out a number of different adverts with minor changes then keep iterating to get the advert that gets most engagement (E.G. does having the character in red trousers Vs blue make a person more likely to click the advert). So after a few days I started blocking the adverts using google system to tell google I didn't want to see those ads anymore. But because they're AB tested ads I blocked the A ad so then got the B ad then got the iteration of the ad so got the C and D version. So I blocked them too. Then I got the E and F versions. This carried on until today. I got another ad, pressed to block it as not being interested and Google ads options wouldn't let me block the ad. That's right I've apparently blocked so many of these shitty mobile game AB testing ads Google won't let me block anymore so I can't escape them. Google you're meant to be one of the most advanced tech companies out there, how can you still not get what ads I actually want to see with all the data you've collected? I've even literally gone through the selector system to choose ad categories I'm most interested in and you still get it wrong. Why the hell should I be good and keep ad block off when even telling you what ads I want doesn't work and when I block ads using your own system it don't just results in more of the almost exact same ad for the same product but it results in you then stopping me blocking ads because I've blocked too many according to your system or some such crap. Sort your shit out.

Maybe ask people what ads they want, hell I'd love a selection of film trailers for movies big and small coming out but no I have to get 50+ crappy mobile game ads that are literally misrepresentative of the games themselves to begin with.

Yours sincerely, A person you've literally made consider turning his ad block back on for youtube.

Please let people have to a break from caring about [current thing in politics]

So up front, I'm not American and a department store funded parade isn't something I care particularly about. That said I've seen a lot of reaction from people online about how awful it was people chose to boo protestors who blocked the Macey's day parade to protest about events in Gaza. This is part of an annoying trend I'm seeing of activist groups seemingly being unwilling to let people have a break because said activists seem to be acting like the super hardcore evangelical Christians of old and seem to think it's their duty to convert people to their faith recruit people to their cause and somehow if they recruit enough regular people with no major power it will fix the issue. Or they have to recruit everyone and are worried some-one might not know. Every few months it's a new thing that's demanded we care about and many of them still ongoing. But also these groups offer no solutions, no actionable stuff like say "Hey guys try to recycle when you can" or even these days a petition to sign or anything. It's just "Join us and perpetually push for the cause by trying to get more people to join" seemingly. People who work 9-5 jobs and are worried about the cost of living and other rising costs and expenses want to have some downtime. Be it going to a parade, going to an event, watching some show to let them forget the awful state of the world for a bit. It doesn't make them bad people it makes them human because everyone needs to recharge their proverbial emotional batteries sometime. No-one can and does perpetually care about all the issues all the time no matter what some activists may claim. If they did the sheer existential dread and horror of the world would drive a person mad.

"Oh but the people involved in [current thing] don't get to have a break so why should you?"

is the general reply and to that I say, they probably wish they could, people there take any moments they can to try to forget and have a break and likely wish they could. So we who can do that should appreciate what we have and can do and be able to enjoy things for those who wish they could too, even if for a little while. Because you can bet many people would in said situations would want help but they'd also not want people to not live their lives and spent their whole time miserable.

If people care for an issue they'll come to such groups who care for it to. This is why I dislike groups trying to push a "With us or against us" kind of narrative to try to pressure people into joining. Do they have so little conviction and belief in their own cause and message that they don't believe people would join them otherwise?
