It's so damn hot.

Hey yeah, quick site update thing for you.

1. You may have noticed kind of spotty news here over at least the past week or two. Sorry about that. As most of you are probably well aware, most of the States are on fire, figuratively speaking. Where I am is no exception to that. It's been in the 90s for the past week with high humidity and it's just been absolutely miserable. It's even more miserable in my work room with an AC that cannot keep up at all...

It's apparently been replaced by a unicode character.

The good news here is that Twitter is finally dead! The bad news is that it's only because Elon Musk is rebranding Twitter to X. Or to be more specific, it's 𝕏. That is to say, it's simply the unicode character U+1D54F. Yes, Musk and cohorts continue to take what already existed instead of creating something new themselves.

The change comes because Musk is apparently the biggest fan of the letter "X",...

The tweet that kicked off this whole thing can be found here in the first screenshot. It was deleted shortly after it went up...

Sony somehow won CES just by showing a logo.

Just two days ago, Sony wowed the world by revealing the logo for the PlayStation 5 during their presentation at CES 2020. Today, that life changing logo is now also (apparently) a record breaker. Well, it broke a record on Instagram at least. Maybe.

According to VGC, Sony's PS5 logo image pulled in roughly 5.1 million likes and 136,000 comments in the span of less than 48 hours. This apparently now makes it the most "liked"...

It's been roughly one week since THQ Nordic GmbH decided to do an AMA on 8chan, a site that is best known for allegations that they host and link to suspected child pornography, a site that contains rampant racism, a site that engages in harassment campaigns, and a site that engages in doxxing. These are just a few of their most notable "issues." Again, it's a place where people go when even 4chan thinks they're too fucked up.

It took THQ Nordic over 15 hours to remove...

This past week, the various Resident Evil social media channels, such as Twitter and Facebook, updated with a new logo. It's so new that it's actually old, as in it's very reminiscent of the original Resident Evil logo from the original release of the first three games back on the PlayStation. Specifically, it looks a lot like the font and style used for the very first Resident Evil game back in 1996.

This past weekend, the Battlefield 1 Twitter account sent out a number of controversial Tweets under the hashtag of #justWWIthings. A couple of examples can be seen above and below.

Given the rather somber tone of most of the game's single player, a fact that has been praised in numerous reviews, it comes off as a bit tasteless to go with this sort of Twitter campaign. It took a bit of time, but the Battlefield Twitter account did eventually pull the Tweets. An apology ...
