This be a thread of all the games I play this year as a sort of record. I've a backlog that I'm working through. All games on here are new to me, but not all new. The Picture is from DIsco Elysium, which I was late to, but thoroughly enjoyed last year.

@whitehousebride This is usually from the same people who repeat that 'Historians' are somehow blind to queerness in the historical record.

'Nobody wants to work anymore.'

Real wages haven't risen since 2008. The 40% tax band kicks in at £50,270 and hasn't moved since 2021. Earn between £100K and £125K and you keep 38p of every extra pound. Every promotion drags more of your salary into a higher tax band, where the government takes more than the rise was worth. Final salary pensions got replaced with auto-enrol pots you fund yourself. Pension age keeps moving. Annual leave entitlements haven't budged in over a decade. Sick pay is £123 a week. Council tax went up 5% this year while the bin men come once a fortnight. Childcare costs more than most second salaries. House prices are ten times average earnings. Loyalty got downsized the second the share price wobbled. Working from home got rescinded the second managers wanted their car parks full again.

And the people who did all that are confused about the attitude problem.

I know this topic has been discussed already, but wouldn;t it be more terminologically accurate to say the the Roman Empire _had a fall_ rather than fell?

nobody talks about how the spectre of AI means you have to scour each memeable image like it was made by Frank Abagnale before sharing before sharing, because otherwise you'll look like a rube when someone points out a backwards flying seagull

British wildlife will replace historical figures on the next series of Bank of England banknotes - and the public will get their say on which animals and birds will appear.

On #BBCBreakfast Peter Ruddick explained why it's the end people such as Winston Churchill, Jane Austen and Alan Turing on new £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes

You bolt awake in Virginia. You are not online. It is 1775. You are George Washington and you have changed your mind. You decide to join the American revolutionary war on the side of the British. The future cannot come to pass.
