From now until probably midnight, excluding breaks, I'm going to be streaming Fallout 76, so I can write a review of it for Rock, Paper, Shotgun. I will need company and emotional bolstering, so join me at: twitch.tv/realmsoffighti…
Fallout update - made a lovely German friend and we're building a house together!
Ok. Breaking for food until 7, then I'll be back online. This game is pretty baffling so far and I keep dying of thirst, but I really liked making a friend and building a shed with them. Think I need to do some grinding and stuff next though.

PSA for anyone keen on buying my big book of fictional video games - Amazon seems to be dispatching them a bit late for Christmas, but Waterstones can get them to you on time! waterstones.com/book/100-best-…
I have _no idea_ how Amazon works. I was delighted when loads of people RTed stuff about 100 Games this week, but Amazon taking 1 week plus to ship is disappointing. I can cope with the responsibility of marketing my published work, but I feel a bit powerless over distribution!
FWIW, I'm really sorry I keep coming out here on the beg for you all to buy the book. The truth is, for authors who aren't massive names, 90% of marketing after launch month comes down to us peddling our wares online, hoping we don't alienate folks by talking like salespeople.

If you're still shopping for christmas, this book will sort out everything for 8 quid. It's 100 completely fictional games, reviewed in depth & illustrated by professional games artists, and the person retweeting this will tell you just what a laugh it is: amazon.co.uk/Best-Video-Gam…
Thrill at the groundbreaking annelid business simulation of WORM SALESMAN '84!
Sob at the deep, deep personal pain on display in GRIEF COPS!

Just had my first proper advert dad moment going through departures at berlin-tegel. After 5 minutes of confusion over what to do with the baby's pushchair, the security lads politely commanded me to fully disassemble it, as a massive queue of waiting businessmen watched on.
We'd already held everyone up for ages, so I was feeling acutely anxious, & suddenly the pressure of the moment folded some valve of my brain completely shut. I forgot all my German, most of my English, & every conception of the pushchair as something more than an abstract shape.
I was just sort of pawing at the joints of the thing, making quiet, plaintive honking sounds - all my memory of the infernal engine's folding mechanism had vanished like snow before piss, but I figured I could postpone humiliation by at least *miming* that I was putting it down.

Going full Trump cult.
In August, Trump attacked Google after watching Diamond and Silk claim during a Fox interview the company engaged in “tyranny” and “political lynching” to prevent people from learning the truth re: “our beautiful president.”

Now they're on the Fox payroll mediamatters.org/blog/2018/08/2…
Anyway this is a fun reminder that there is no bottom whatsoever and that bad faith and nonsense are the coin of the realm.

Let's get into this in detail.

RPS is supposed to be a PC gaming and enthusiast based outlet. Quite simply they should know better.

It's not as simple as just "Adblocking" anymore.
Most of us use script blockers as an essential part of our online security.

-Scrump thread
I honestly don't care about ads. I DO care about the malware those ads can & do inject.

What me to enable Java & Flash too so you can more effectively compromise my browser's sandbox?

That's what you're essentially asking for because that's how many ads are still served.
Browsing the internet without some degree of control over the scripts websites can launch is like going to a brothel without a condom.

"Turn off that pesky protection"

How can tech sites, that are supposedly community focused, not see that's WHY it annoys their audience?

Thread alert! Atherosclerosis (official journal of @society_eas) publishes a #review on #TraditionalChineseMedicine (#TCM). It's simultaneously a bit frightening and hilarious (1/16)

atherosclerosis-journal.com/article/S0021-…
First of all, TCM is BS. It may have been useful thousands of years ago when nothing was known about science but nowadays we know better. Besides, "modern TCM" was pretty much invented by Chairman Mao in the 50's: slate.com/articles/healt… (2/16)
Look at this terrifying aim of the review! "WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR TCM TO SPREAD TO WESTERN SOCIETIES". Ideological bias, much? (3/16)

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."

Now that @Oprah may be running for President, imagine how the Left would react if this were to occur:

1. A agent of @realDonaldTrump hires #FusionGPS (or another company) to dig up dirt on Ms. Winfrey by contacting her associates in S. Africa (or any other country) #Oprah2020 /1
2. #FusionGPS (or whatever company doing the investigation) trumps up (pun intended) a #FakeDossier that ties #Oprah and HARPO to organized crime in Johannesburg, as well as to leaders in the South African government. #Oprah2020 /2
3. The agent of @realDonaldTrump takes this #FakeDossier to the FBI and says to Dir. Wray, “Unsavory agents of the South African government are trying to turn @Oprah into one of their agents.” So Wray asks for a FISA court to authorize the FBI to surveil #Oprah. #Oprah2020 /3
