At least we'll get a delightfully stunted Jony Ive product film out of it.

Whereas on Reddit, it'd be used to justify a slippery slope. "We've already banned X and Y, so banning Z is just an extension of that."

👏👏👏

We're deleting 'doors' as a feature. They just don't make sense.

I used to watch The Wan Show which I guess is more of an unfiltered look than the edited videos. But yeah, kinda.

There were numerous times when he'd openly criticise a colleague, or just like... undermine them? And then realise he was looking like an asshole and awkwardly laugh to try to pass it off as a joke.

It's very clear once you've watched a few episodes of The Wan Show that he's basically a massive asshole and a liability, surrounded by people desperately trying to rein him in.

Particularly more recently, I think? Like, I eventually stopped watching because the first 40 minutes of every episode was Linus trying to defend himself for the latest bullshit thing he'd done. 🙄

It's unsurprisingly one of those "can't say much about it without ruining it" games, but suffice to say:

It was very good and you should play it, but it was always going to be difficult for it to top the first one because you go into it having a fairly good idea of what's going on.

Also I just think this genre maybe works better with teenage characters than grown-ups, but that's just me. 😁

Currently in that "trying to decide what to play next" headspace... but for a bonus point, I think the thing I completed last was Oxenfree II.

Anyone else wishing they could buy the entire Steam Visual Novel Fest? 🥺

I picked up Who's Lila?, Coffee Talk, and Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane (despite not really being able to afford to 😬) and wish-listed a bunch of other stuff.

I used to go to stay at my dad's on school holidays... I forgot my DS Lite there one time, and the battery was still nearly full next time. 😬

I miss simpler tech.

Ugh, cancel culture rears its ugly head again 😔

In the smouldering aftermath, some politicians, keen to shift the focus from social inequality, have muttered darkly about the role of BlackBerry Messenger, Twitter and Facebook – frightening new technologies that, like the pen and the human mouth, allow citizens to swap messages with one another. Some have even called for the likes of Twitter to be temporarily suspended in times of great national crisis. That’d be reassuring – like the scene at the start of a zombie movie where the news bulletin is suddenly replaced by a whistling tone and a stark caption reading PLEASE STAND BY. The last thing we need in an emergency is the ability to share information.

Plus ADHD and depression are comorbid, so a lot of what we think of as "ADHD symptoms" might be depression symptoms? Idk just a thought 😃
