Handsome boy

I hate writing these posts and I know this is a bad time of year to ask, I'm hoping 2026 will be better & maybe hold some miracles, 2025 has been really rough for me beyond anything I imagined. If you can help me I'd really appreciate it 🙏 buymeacoffee.com/Robotwig www.paypal.me/StephenBerry

FFXIV is my favourite dress up game.

A new appreciation

Good lord that’s big.

I am also insanely excited for a new Divnity game. Big up Larian.

A massive congratulations to the Exp33 team for sweeeeeping TGA. Very very well deserved.

After getting a little better, bloos eye clouded over again 2 weeks ago, and then last week he developed a brand new massive ulcer. We immediately put him on anti virals, back on antibiotics, and drug for chronic conjunctivitis, then Saturday our vet bought her dog in to get serum from him.

In case some of you didn’t know, we can’t have a Christmas tree because real or fake, Bloo would try and eat it. So this is how we decorate for Christmas. Mothman is a new addition

Comiccon was fun.

Weeee get to see one of my ghost sisters tomorrow and then we’re going to Comic-Con on Friday 🤩

Bloos eye is unwell again so I’ve been back to the vet twice in two days via lifts from friends and then taxis. Not something I really recommend tbf. Ulcer is still healed, this is something else. Not entirely sure what as his eye is too cloudy to get a proper look, so we’re doing a two pronged -

Looking at the new Valve tech and wondering is the Steambox could be a decent replacement for the laptop in our pop VR arcade kit to enable PCVR pop ups....

After 6 long weeks of very intense care and medication, Bloo has been declared fit and healthy(ish). His eye ulcer has healed up completely. Keeping him on just the serum for a few days to make sure anything microscopic has healed up, but after that it's business as usual!

It’s Bloos gotcha day! As we’ve had 9 years with him, here’s 9 of my favourite photos. 1/3

Sewed another bandana for Bloo out of some Halloween fat quarters I got on sale this weekend. Eye patch is drawn on to save you the horror that is the bad eye.

Cat needed space upstairs for his litterbox so I wasn’t constantly having to avoid tripping over it. So he got the guest room that’s very rarely used as a guest room. It’s now the cat room and he hasn’t left since I put him in there 2 hours ago.

Leena, have you even read the documentation? It makes it very clear on page 235 (footnotes) that NORMAL_PERSON is unecessary (I thought we all agreed on this back in the 90s) This forum is for professionals, please check documentation before posting. You’ll learn a lot and save me a lot of time

I have a cold from running myself into the ground trying to keep up with everything along side caring for Bloo. He feels better now and has decided to care for me by trying to bully me into going back to bed.

Good boy appreciation post!!! After 4 looooong weeks, he’s finally upped his game and started healing his eye ulcer!! We saw the ophthalmologist last week and she said it was starting to heal but she was disappointed by the progress. ——

Currently basically trapped from getting into anything deeply bc I have to give the cat 3 different eye drops 6 times a day and also give his eye an iodine rinse once a day. Very tiring. Back to the vet on Friday for the 4th time in a little over 2 weeks to check progress with the new meds. 🥲

Had a screen break evening and hand stitched a bandana for Bloo. I haven’t sewn outside of basic repairs in over a decade so I’m pretty chuffed with it!

Oh to be a cat napping on a desk

Birthday cakes for the husband

Started FFXIV as a Dragoon this time, made the switch to Reaper as soon as I could. Bc it's goth and also they have their own theme tune. :)

The endless quest.

Plush of the rat man himself plus the rat man tattoo.

I would like to make an appeal to stop every single action game being a souls-like.

Today in D&D - Dehu has been insanely useful. Using Wall of Light to shield a beacon from corruption to enable a dragon to be ressurected. Banishing a Deva who had come to be a bit of a pain in the arse to send him out of Barovia bc I didn't want to deal with his nonsense.

He’s so cute.

Got some overdue medical stuff done so I’m rewarding myself with another (small) tattoo on Thursday.

If you've got any leads (and I know leads are scarce right now) please feel free to reach out to any of these lovely people, the supremely talented people on the team: bsky.app/starter-pack...

Reading to try and get sleepy Failing because what the fuck does this even mean??

Getting your first commendation on a new character in FFXIV feels so gooood

Public service announcement The mini squishmallows you get from happy meals are the appropriate size for cats.

tears of the kingdom: just what was zelda doing in the past? nintendo: absolutely nothing. like it will shock you how much nothing she was up to omega force: she was killing one million guys

Partner showcase was a bit of a miss for me. In part because I’m desperate for the new Layton game which still doesn’t have a date (and we’ve only seen two trailers)

Feeling a little affirmed today but also horrid. I’ve had a reaction to one of the shades of blue used in my tattoo. That’s why the healing process was so miserable and I got a rash. The more it heals the less of that one shade is coming through. 😢

No Sleep for Kaname Date is exactly the game I needed it to be.

Today in D&D The artificer finally got to use his napalm cannon.

Kojimas naming scheme for men in Death Stranding will never not be hilarious.

Happy 18th Birthday to Bloo!!!

Industry friends!!!! I know it’s a bit late and it’s a Friday, but I just wanna know. Who’s going to EGX Brum in November? I miss so many people and it being back in the midlands makes me very happy!

Back in very blue :)

This tattoo has no right to look as good as it does after the hellish healing it’s been through Heatwave + being allergic to like 5 different products and there’s not as many touch ups as you’d think.

Turns out my skin is so insanely sensitive I can barely use anything on a new tattoo… but after about £40 I finally have a combo that works!!! Sanex for cleansing and butterluxe for moisture. It feels so much better now it’s not actively reacting to stuff!
