We went to a nearby shopping centre we never really go to because they have this dinosaur event on. The kids had fun but it was so shit, like just poorly thought out. They only had two girls working there, and they were flat out handing out the craft materials for the day. There were no signs to not touch the dinosaur displays and it's not like they could stop anyone. The thing for this week was to paint some wooden cutout of a T-Rex on a stand. So by the time you were done you had a wet dinosaur painting, a wet paintbrush, and a small set off paint pots to just carry around with you. There was also a scavenger hunt type thing to find other dinosaurs and win a prize. But you had to have your own pen and hand it in to the service desk. Really zero thought put into the whole process aside from getting people in. But next weekend they're doing egg chipping so we might go back to that because at least it's a drier activity.

One of the kids has also been getting up at night around 11. They just come out to the loungeroom and either watch me play Banjo Kazooie if I'm doing that or go straight to sleep again on the couch. I'm not sure if that means getting sick or what. But my girlfriend got quite sick today on the way home from work so I had to deal with the kids. I'll see how she is tomorrow and whether it's a matter off time until I get it.

If there's infinite spider-verses one of them has to be the racist one, right?

It's the cocomelon spiderman from Spidey And His Amazing Friends. I can just tell by looking at him

Banjo Kazooie mod that changes the world to Frebreezeesy Peak because the mighty poo from Conker's Bad Fur Day is at the base of the snowman. And all the snowman enemies are turned into poomen that throw poo at you

I'd say play on whatever difficulty you want to enjoy the story, because the combat isn't great and can get frustrating. And go for long range weapons and use your team mates to draw fire because the NPCs you control can't aim for shit. At its best it feels like a hoard shooter because it has the enemy count for 3 people but you're the only one that does anything.

Too bad it didn't have coop, or at least I don't think it did. And with that formula they could have turned it into an extraction shooter today if it wasn't such a flop.

If you want a shit game with a premise like that you should play The Bureau: XCOM Declassified. It's the worst tactical shooter you've ever played until it shows its Irrational Games DNA at the end with a somewhat impressive meta twist

Where can I get a good rundown of what's happening in Iran? There's a woman at work from Iran I get the feeling is on the 'bad side' of things, but talking to her has made me realise I don't know enough about it.

I don't want to beat her in the marketplace of ideas but i'd like some context that does away with a lot of the unfavourable propaganda

For the vtuber fans here: briatcookiebox has been streaming about when she was a corpo because her NDA finally expired and the company collapsed. It's great to see someone able to talk openly about all the hard work she did as a corpo.

She's also just a big vibrating ball of audhd energy so that's fun to watch too

Of course, Area 51 featuring the voice talent of David Duchovny. I got that working on an old computer a while ago. That's one of the great things about proton, how you can get old unsupported games working on it better than current windows

I think I'm seeing Project: Snowblind, a wild choice to be playing today.

Remember Me? One of the games of all time.

I'm guessing Condemned: Criminal Origins. It doesn't look like it but it looks like Monolith's engine from the time and the second game never made it to PC.
