Prime with ads. Just how Kubrick intended.

@samuelwroberts.bsky.social Just catching up on your Bully episode, really good, very fond memories of that game. But random memory based on your “why are year 7s & year 11s in the same school” point. I grew up in Harrow & year 7 was in primary school. We started high school in year 8. No idea why

This Peanuts / Alien strip is pretty cool, and also a good demonstration of the slightly surprising story breaks in a great monster movie. Usually your beast only reveals itself properly halfway through. Look:

Big Streets of Rage energy

It really is, has a hypnotic atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend for anyone into close-to-home weirdness

Vintage year

iPlayer is stuffed with great films just now.

Mainlining old Bullseyes on Challenge at my dad’s. Not seen the first series before, amazing how much of the running time is taken up explaining the concept. “A clock for every room”? Oh go on then Jim

Oh no, Mickey 17, what happened?

Van Nistelrooy giving off big “training-mission drill sergeant from Call of Duty” energy

“If British music is one of the most powerful exports we have, why have you treated it like an after thought for so many years?" — Myles Smith at the #BRITs The line about grassroots venues was spot on!

And I thought I knew all the swear words

If this was a band I'd seen photos of in NME/Smash Hits when I was 14, I would have gone out and bought/stole their records the very next day without having to hear a single note.

A Complete Unknown was great. Chalamet, Norton and Barbaro very good indeed, strong support. Bit low on characterisation - you won’t learn anything new anybody - but as an evocative barnstormer that has you singing as you leave it was bang on. Woman next to me was beside herself with admiration

League Two is a monster league to follow, Bromley doing well amidst the “anyone can beat anyone” chaos. In last match week, top 2 lost, only 2 of the top 12 won, but 6 of the bottom 12 did. Meanwhile, 4 points separates 2nd and 8th. Playoffs promising to be tasty

Beckenham, twinned with Skull Island

This is ace, going to work my way through those I haven’t played. First up: Minishoot’ Adventures… and it’s ace. Great recommendation @mrbasilpesto.bsky.social

My New Year’s resolution written for me

This gets your gears grinding, found myself nodding along to so much of it.

Distinct late-90s vibes about this current Spurs side. Does that make Kulusevski Ginola? And that the league cup is on? Clutching, I know

Post your first RPG? Hard to believe now but this was epic. Though all hail the NES’s ever-comical disconnect between game covers and gameplay

I was on a train once when there was a red sky and a bloke said to his mate "You know what they say. Shepherd's night, shepherd's delight. Shepherd's morning, shepherd's warning" You know. What they say.

The Indiana Jones game being good is the best news, a classic Christmas playthrough beckons. It’s now sat there pre-downloaded winking at me. PS I loved this review, so well written in giving you all you’d want and spoiling nothing www.eurogamer.net/indiana-jone...

Fully recommend changing your phone home screen to Tinted in a colour of your choosing and getting rid of all the apps’ default colours. Looks pleasing and less like a casino, and definitely reduces distraction and increases purposeful use

Just a bit obsessed with that latest Fontaines DC album. One of the biggest leaps between records in terms of style I can remember but damn they land it.

This is on YouTube and is fantastic. Set me off on a right old British 70s horror / Play for Today quest. Currently on Penda’s Fen, next up Dead of Night: The Exorcism, compiling my next moves, any more recommendations?

So we’re all getting the old gang back together, yeah?

Good morning. Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.
