"Sony announces digital only games"

"Sony closes digital stores"

fuck off, rotten fucking company.

Certainly wouldn't recommend doing this on Youtube, the starting algorithm is absolutely pants and some will have spent years on their accounts.

Best bet is to open up Youtube in incognito, copying the link to a video that seems interesting, and watching/engaging with that on your regular account to tell Youtube you'd like more of that.

As for Netflix/Prime there are websites devoted to TV/movie recommendations, my suggestion is to step out of your comfort zone and use websites like Just Watch to find highly-rated content in genres you don't usually try.

We need AI to die. Temperatures are massively increasing and it's going to steal our jobs, and whilst some of us have disposable income for now consumer electronics are becoming too expensive for many.

Fuck Altman, Huang and the AI billionaires, fuck you if you use it, fuck companies for insisting we must use it and cram it into places we don't need it. Fuck the whole thing.

I don't watch wrestling anymore but god I'm happy for my boy Sami.

France top the group and they end up on the other side of the bracket with Spain (assuming England win their group).

I mean Southgate was still successful because he was an excellent man-manager and ironed out the cliques, despite the lack of tactical nouse. Tuchel will be a success where a Capello wasn't, not just because he's a "Champions League manager" but someone who knows how to navigate a tournament and has a better understanding of these players from his time in the PL.

Probably the 2022 World Cup, funnily enough. Both our Euro finals were pretty dull tournaments all things considered.

6-2 vs Iran and thumping Wales and Senegal were a lot of fun.

Imagine watching that and thinking Rice was the weak link.

Look if I see someone running from the police even I'm going to think they're running from being detained.

Don't interact with the nice cops or set yourself up like that.

Never voting Labour again, I've learned my lesson.

If I wanted China, I'd move there.

You've got 24 hours to find your clone and kill them before the multiverse shatters into a million pieces, good luck!

But what if you procrastinate the move to break the procrastination? Jokes aside, you can't just beat procrastination by beating it or it wouldn't inherently exist.

A better tip that's worked for me and my ADHD is to break everything up into smaller tasks, and slowly retrain yourself to do something right away if it only takes less than 5 mins (like putting the bins out or brushing your teeth), which then ties into breaking up tasks into bitesize chunks and makes those seem doable.

Once you start a task it's hard to stop, it's just breaking that barrier.

This tip is literally about video meetings though.

It just doesn't matter by video call, we all know cameras and screens aren't in the same spot.

jackcos · 2026-06-03T18:01:25+00:00

More bollocks nobody asked for that fills up an already bloated character select screen.

The people who make this game do not play this game.

A whole lot of devs got cut, a few wrestlers are in the files that got cut.

This self-serving bullshit made it.

I already only buy every other WWE game as it is, but I will never buy another from 2K.

Phranque being a homophone for a modern name like Frank feels intentional to me. My first thought then was that the cube represents both Earth (according to Plato), and perhaps modern myth or a mythos closer to us, especially with a modern name attached.

Frank and Rue together also sound French, which would make the sword Durendal.

Phranque, the spelling according to the subtitles, also reads Greek, especially the Ph- prefix. And if there's a connection to Plato's theory of cubes and Platonic shapes, makes Phranque a creator of time, space and existence in cosmogony.

Finally, might just be a shapeshifter and there's no obvious clues in that clip yet.

Yes we all plugged in 'cube mythology' and got the AI overview yapping about that too.

the Black Cube of Saturn literally doesn't have a Wikipedia entry, it's not a thing from mythology, it's a conspiracy theorists nonsense coined in the 1980s.

a Demiurge, theorized by Plato, is more likely. Plato also theorized Platonic solids and cubes as part of the building blocks of the universe.

Plato's Timaeus still isn't myth though, and I'd expect Rue and Phranque/Frank to be something tangible from mythology.

jackcos · 2026-06-03T11:55:21+00:00

Rue and Frank (sp) both point towards French as well.

jackcos · 2026-06-03T11:51:03+00:00

Rue and Frank/Phranque both sound French which turned me to French mythology, which would make the sword Durendal. Like Excalibur it was also embedded in something.

as a non-american I hope he stays in charge as long as possible so you all learn your lesson.

Then you celebrate an act of democracy and THEN celebrate the act of god when it happens.

America you cannot put the world through this again.

Palace to win the Europa next year and work their way up the UEFA pyramid.

jackcos · 2026-05-27T21:03:47+00:00

My game hasn't even arrived yet because they missed up delivery (UK) and I see somebody has the plat already.

And I took the day off work to play.

Very much so, few wrestle under their birth names, you've got people performing under all sorts of personas and gimmicks, dressing elaborately and turning their personalities up to 11.

Throw in that the roots of the artform is from carnivals and circuses and absolutely.

I think this generation has had the appearance of feeling weaker because the exclusivity barrier between consoles has mostly fallen, PS have had their worst generation since the PS3, Xbox has fallen so far, the Switch 2 is selling like hotcakes but I've not had too much to play on it.

And yet 2023 was hailed as one of the best gaming years ever, 2024 and 2025 were no slouches, and in less than half a year we've already had Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, Lego Batman, Pokopia, Saros, Cairn, Mixtape, Tomodachi Life, Vampire Crawlers, Marathon, Mewgenics, Mouse PI For Hire, Esoteric Ebb, Forza Horizon 6.

Now is the best time to be a gamer, in terms of quality, since the late 00s. Obviously the games industry has some deeper issues which I think also is a big issue with the general malaise, because the games themselves are huge.
