Hard to have a nuanced opinion on this issue since I’m not directly affected by it. From what I can observe some of my gay friends use slurs in a humourous way to make light of the reality that not everyone in society is cool with them being themselves. They seem to enjoy being transgressive and think they have a license to do so in this case (I’d probably argue that they do). idk maybe “reclaiming” was the wrong phrase; it’s more like gallows humour or something.

Ah fuck I just posted this one without double checking no one else had.

Anyway, how did Mike Jones not end up working in advertising getting so many people to remember a random phone #?

Mike Jones had such a promising career after getting a fairly large segment of the population to remember a phone number he rapped - 218-330-8004.

He got sunk by a beef after releasing 1 album IIRC

That game looked fine to me tbh. I think it might have been the point that their yearly release schedule had begun to saturate the brand as opposed to the games getting worse.

Is that the Call Of Doggy one? To be honest I’ve only actually finished COD4.

I’ve noticed some of my gay friends try to “reclaim” slurs while others treat the words as taboo. Seems like a matter of personal preference to me.

Best movie I’ll never watch again

I loved the bait and switch where all the marketing suggested it would be a John Wick rip off but the movie turned out to be a lot more original

Did you think the last pass Russell made after the interception was unnecessary? It looked like he wanted to be under the posts for the conversion but my pals think he was showboating.

Leinster look like they are constantly offside between phases and are always interfering at the ruck. The way they play on the edge of legality is outrageous. Suspect it only works because refs buy into the narrative of them being the winners on paper.

Happy to see Finn get some silverware at last. Arguably someone of his talent should have won a lot more by this point.

dat interception tho

Scrappy first half, it’s not really going to the script I imagined. Conditions look tough.

Bath bench will put the game away in the last quarter I think.

I didn’t realise Bomb Rush Cyberfunk had an option to toggle the 30FPS framerate limit. Can confirm it’s playing buttery smooth on my Switch 2 now.

Everyone looks knackered. I wonder if we should try to end the seasons earlier before summer rolls around. The heat looks like it is creating handling errors.

Lovely kick pass from Russell

Wife is out for lunch with friends. I’ve got no plans apart from rugby. Big day on the sofa ahead!

Not sure why the preview is broken. Let me know if the link is also not working and I can try to edit it with a new one.

I think its a pun because Japanese doesn’t have a distinct ‘r’ sound so the title can be read as “Bravely Default” or “Bravery Default”… not sure if it’s intentional!

The game is from square enix who did all the Final Fantasy series. Pretty similar to FF5 in some ways. There is a “default” mechanic in combat which the title is referring to.

I find handhelds like 3DS and Switch 1/2 have been the most convenient for gaming as an adult. In the evenings my wife often wants to use the tv so I can sit next to her on the sofa and play games without monopolising the tv myself.
