You can accuse Peter Molyneaux for a lot of things, but he did manage to come up with some interesting wacky shit interspersed with all the exaggerations and scams.

The trendsetting first portable, compact Leica came out in '25^[1]

Another TV show that was famous for its amazing soundtrack that had subsequently been changed and butchered is Skins.

Came to the comments to post exactly that video, happily surprised to already find it here. Impeccable taste, sir.

Iceshrimp is also in a weird place right now, as it's currently also in maintenance mode while the ongoing iceshrimp.NET full rewrite is happening. Seeing the OP's comments about the Firefish codebase, that rewrite might be just what's needed - provided it's actually completed.

I haven't tried everything out there, but so far nothing I've tried is true perfection. The controller I use as daily driver for my PC is an Xbox 360 controller, which I find extremely nice - except for the D-pad. It also lacks the fancy tricks of the PS5 controller - a controller I Iike less for ergonomics but love for stuff like haptic feedback.

Isn't this Shroud's game? Not a good look for him.

This is what it's all about right here.

When I hear "UbiSoft" the first word I think of is "lukewarm". Mediocre, inoffensive junk food gaming that's rarely so bad that it's unplayable but also never meaningful, interesting or memorable.

This has been their m.o. for decades, I don't know what people were expecting?

I've said it before and caught flak but I'll say it again: I really, truly hate the naming conventions Kbin introduced. "Reduces" is maybe the worst offender but "magazines" too is a completely nonsensical name for communities.

I need this book.

Uneven matchmaking is definitely the biggest fun thief in the game right now for me - whether it's our team or the enemy team that does the stomping. It's a shame too because the close, even games are so much fun. Glad to hear it's being worked on.
