  • The same place that regularly bullies and bear-baits 'lulcows' for entertainment? The same people who bullied an autistic adult over a shitty Sonic fan character webcomic?

  • Iran's president, foreign minister and others found dead at helicopter crash site, state media says
  • Unlikely, since helicopters are pretty dangerous (especially cold war era ones), have a single point of failure, and the accident apparently happened in bad conditions and in a mountainous region.

    Also the Iranian president is more of a state figurehead than an actual ruler with the power to change the country. The Ayatollah is the one pulling the strings.

    Don't even think Iran are going to blame this on Israel, as they would get clapped in a direct confrontation with the IDF, and they know it.

  • Fictional alien time travellers can’t be black, insist morons
  • I can't tell if Japanese gamers are genuinely frustrated with the inclusion of Yasuke or if right wingers are comment/review bombing the Ubisoft Japan YouTube account's upload of the trailer.

    Apparently a lot of the angry comments read as if they've been put through Google Translate and aren't actually in Japanese.

  • Amazon Customer Service has become awful
  • In the UK if the goods were over £100 and you paid via credit card, you could raise a Section 75 claim with the card issuer under the Consumer Credit Act.

    I used to work for a large train operating company and the sheer number of people contacting us for historic departure info to support a Section 75 claim because the news came out that someone got a 50% refund on their season ticket was astronomical.

    Alternatively... Small Claims Court. Amazon will drag you through the coals if you go the chargeback route.

  • Speedrunning your way onto an fbi list 101
  • We have our own agencies.

    The National Crime Agency (NCA) is our equivalent to the FBI.

    Security Service (a.k.a. MI5) is our equivalent to the NSA.

    Secret Intelligence Service (a.k.a. MI6) is our equivalent to the CIA.

  • Dr Robotnik's Ring Racers is a gorgeous free SNES-style arcade racer, built using Doom Legacy
  • The Sonic fandom continues to amaze me. For every mountain of lewd fan art and crappy original characters created by fans, you get an incredible fangame that absolutely trumps official efforts from Sega themselves.

    Pulling off a kart racer in the Legacy DOOM engine of all things is a seriously impressive feat.

  • Son of a Glitch was hacked

    Year of devastating wildfires meant Canadians were breathing worse air than southern neighbours for first time ever
