    Nigel Farage V Count Binface - The dumbest By-election in British History

    In terms of winning against Farage, it's certainly not good news (unless one of those clowns changes his/her name to 'Nigel Farage' first ;) ). Those extra contenders will most likely only take away votes from Binface, so on that front it's not. But did we really expect that guy to win? Farage...

    Nigel Farage V Count Binface - The dumbest By-election in British History

    It's apparently old news by now (I've been away for some days), but it's not less hilarious: as of current, Clacton now has THIRTY-FOUR candidates (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Clacton_by-election). Among the known Binface, voters can now also vote for Howling laud Hope, Nick The...

    Thoughts on the world cup?

    So... Spain won last night (in my timezone). If I read correctly, Trump hasn't attended a single match aside the finals, and he got boo'd when he got on the field. Nonetheless, he wants to host another WK in 2038, because... He talked to Infantino. I don't even want to start explaining why...

    The other what type of gaming content do you wish you saw more of thread (not about videos)

    O I see your point. It's true that a lot of the throwback games are made by fans of the original (how obscure it might be) , whereas the original was there by... Well, sort of trying what the then new medium could do.

    The other what type of gaming content do you wish you saw more of thread (not about videos)

    Got another example of what economists call 'the long tail'... But perhaps I should talk about that first. Back when Amazon started as a book selling website, common wisdom had it that with limited stock space (and stock by definition has a physical limit), you had to select which books you...

    US military to receive gender affirming care at demand of radical gender ideaologist.

    Just read a complementary article: Hegseth wants woman out of the military as well: https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2026/07/17/hegseth-ordered-a-new-study-of-women-in-combat-critics-say-its-built-to-reach-one-conclusion/ (okay... Out of combat situations, but that's kind of the...

    The other what type of gaming content do you wish you saw more of thread (not about videos)

    Personally, I'm fine. More than fine, even. If I had to describe my state, it'd be 'abundance'. I'm try to elaborate by comparing it to music. Last year, wife and i had tickets for a national concert. Four days, 6 or 7 stages (one was with video games like just dance) and from around midday to...

    US military to receive gender affirming care at demand of radical gender ideaologist.

    I heard the news and couldn't care less about how inefficient Hegseth wants to run his department. But okay... Fox almost openly promoting rape is scary. Then again: they're just the media equivalent of trolling, so can't say I'm bothered. Asian ports should just make rape punishable by...

    Poll: is Trump suffering from dementia?

    *sigh* I'm probably going to regret it, but why did he speech on his loss in 2020? Afaict, there's nothing added that he hasn't claimed before, and his evidence is still make belief. How bad is it if your own party leaders compare you to captain Ahab?

    Nigel Farage V Count Binface - The dumbest By-election in British History

    Oh, I know that guy! He's an absolute joke of a politician, always prancing some stupid stunt to make headlines but with policy ideas that won't survivale the slightest piece of scrutiny. In fact, if you look up the word 'tosser', his picture should be there. Heck... as a non-Brit, i don't even...

    Trump is the most corrupt US president in history

    In what would've been a major scandal if it weren't for so much competition in this field: now he's suing the new York times... For their reporting... On the Qatar-gifted plane. No, not even because they wrote about political influence it gives qatar. It's about the safety of that thing. It was...

    So Andy Burnham is going to be PM

    Okay... While this is going on, the most hilarious political race is getting underway in no other country than the uk So... Nigel Farage resigned from... From... Uleave? Reform UK? I honestly forgot the name of his "we'd be doing brexit better if only we weren't spectator" party. So now he's...

    The US is now at war with Iran

    The ceasefire agreement was never meant to be anything more than a placeholder to build upon. Build thrust that was shattered when the US flat out murdered Khamenei during "negotiations". See what aspects were tenable by both parties. And forego of the goddamn war rhetoric. But if the markets...

    Thoughts on the world cup?

    Man...it's a weird kind of euphoria around here. social media bring out memes and even a local news put the following on their front page (translated): "Belgium wins 4-1. Who you're gonna call now, Donald?". It doesn't mean the controversy died down. Rather the opposite: FIFA is now doing the...

    Thoughts on the world cup?

    Just watched the summary (bloody match is at 2AM our time, and I get up at 5:30). Belgium apparently won 4-1. So Trump not only sussed a controversy, he caused it completely without reason.

    Thoughts on the world cup?

    I just had to laugh out loud when listening to the radio. Earlier in the day, FIFA tried to claim that the decision was made internally, and the report of the opposite was from unnamed, inside sources. But of course you can count on Trump to be ignorant: he just flat out admitted calling...

    Thoughts on the world cup?

    Ugh... Belgium vs USA next Wednesday. On one hand the team did better than I thought, and frankly... The match against Senegal was tight, but Senegal was overall better imho. On the other hand... Why the fuck bother? Balogun got a red card in the last match so according to theoretical rules he...

    What's "Your Addiction" in Gaming?

    Nowadays, I'm playing shards of infinity almost daily on my tablet. Since it's not exactly the most renowned video game, I'll elaborate: it's a deck builder in which you both start at 50 lives and level 0, and by buying cards you either aim to bring the other to zero, or reach level 30 and use...

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    That sounds a lot like the internet I know. :P

    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    Haven't seen the video, but doesn't that mean that there's a free RAM slot? If anything, it makes it MORE upgradeable (if it had 2x8GB RAM, you would essentially need 2x16 GB anew). :unsure: EDIT: nevermind. Already pointed out.
