I am still using a dumb LG TV from the before times, and love it. I fear the day that I need to replace it.

Seconding this. One of those bonkers films that makes you really impressed that they convinced a studio to give it the green light.

As it says in the article, these are also being purchased by small retailers, so even if you buy from a bricks-and-mortar store, there's no guarantee that you're getting the genuine article.

End credits that can't be skipped or sped up

The Mooncrash DLC for Prey (2017) isn't strictly a time loop game but it might have a lot of the elements that you find interesting.

His interview certainly lent some additional weight to the theories that he's been trying to run the company into the ground the whole time.

If you own multiple homes, then you can view all but one of them as an investment, as you can sell them when the market is good.

If you own one house and have a mortgage on it, then the market going down is bad because you end up with negative equity.

If you own one house with no mortgage, then the market going up is bad because it's harder to upgrade. I wouldn't mind my house being only worth £10,000 if it meant that I could buy my dream house for £20,000.

Strange decision. The relationship between Bob and Paul is so essential to the show, I'm surprised they didn't postpone filming that episode. But I'll still watch it.

I think there was a magic in that first series that they haven't come close to capturing since. It was so raw and honest and unpretentious, it was a work of art about what it means to be a guy who is getting old and watching in helpless despondence as his body falls apart around him. They seem much more guarded in subsequent series.

Cloudpunk has really nice atmosphere but is highly linear, almost to the point of belonging to the "walking simulator" genre. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but just don't go in expecting much in terms of gameplay.

My concern is that it feels like using Google to confirm the truth of what ChatGPT tells you is becoming less and less reliable, as so many of the pages indexed by Google are themselves created by similar models. But I suppose as long as your search took you to a site where you could actually buy the thing, that's okay.

Or at least, it is until fake shopping sites start inventing products based on ChatGPT output.

They got labelled with it, yes. Back then you didn't need a lot of "pop" in your sound to get categorised as Britpop. Anything rocky, as long as it wasn't full-on undisputable heavy metal or punk rock, got lumped in too.

At the time, it was a good label to have. That term had a lot of cachet.
