I don't think I've ever wanted anything more in my entire life than for Count Binface to win the Clacton by-election

Any centrist "let's do what we've always done and expect different results" democrat needs to get fucked.

Jujutsu Kaisen AND Chainsaw Man both dropping trailers on the same day is extremely hype.

Have you ever been to an escape room that wasn't held together with duct tape?

I've spent the last week neglecting Marathon and instead pumping every spare hour into Midnight Suns, which is absolutely fantastic. The writing and voice acting is excellent. Really love that they're leaning fully into the comic versions of the characters rather than the MCU. So good.

The "AI in game development" contention is interesting because for a lot of people it's only physical/visual AI (generated art) that is problematic. If a programmer used Gemini to solve a mathematical equation using quaternions, and used the solution to solve a gameplay bug, do we still care?

Watching AI evangelists freak out once the subsidies dry up and the true cost of each prompt is passed on to the consumer is fucking schadenfreude at its finest.

Nuln Oil, our lord and saviour.

Dungeon Crawler Carl starts out as this Isekai-esque video-game inspired D&D romp through a real life dungeon, but gradually evolves into a universe-spanning socio-political whirlwind where everything is chaotic and there's a dozen overlapping storylines happening at any given time.

A samurai sword is a fedora for your house.

Ok I've now finished the first seven Dungeon Crawler Carl books I can finally st.... Sorry what? Book eight was released only a few days ago?

The obvious parallel that keeps being drawn is Life Is Strange, but honestly Mixtape has a lot more in common with It Takes Two; you play a series of creative, fun vignettes, each with a unique gameplay spin, while the characters natter away and good music plays. Immaculate aesthetic and ambience.

One billion percent.

I'm halfway through book 4 but figured fuck it, let's commit.

I only have emotional bandwidth for one Hard™ videogame at a time.

"Can we play Gears Of War co-op? I like chainsawing guys in half!" She's a keeper.

My mum is in Budapest to vote, she's been sending through pictures of everyone celebrating, people are gathering outside Parliament and singing. Budapest is one huge party right now.

I've been enjoying building and painting my 40k minis but honestly I don't really like Space Marines aesthetically. So I've been eyeing Age Of Sigmar. As a High Fantasy dork, that is infinitely more my speed.

Marathon Aesthetic is a personality-check.

Clearing 30% of the lobby and then extracting in overtime.

I am now fully obsessed with Marathon. When I'm not playing Marathon, I'm thinking about playing Marathon.

This is fine.

"AI will not be a core part of our business" says President of CoreAI.

Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms is so fucking good.

Already know I don't want to play as Space Catholics, so these wide boys have become a testing ground for every random painting tutorial we find online.

AppleTv (a service I pay for) just played an ad for Hijack, as I was about to start watching Hijack, which spoiled everything that happens in Hijack. This shit is why people turn to piracy.

I enjoy painting these little wide boys.

Cal did you watch The Substance yet?

Aeldari are not really my vibe but they are crying out for some Wipeout paint jobs.

No senior managers at any company are excited about it. The only people excited are shareholders and AI investors.

The credits to Hamnet roll and nobody stands to leave. You can hear people openly sobbing.

If alcohol is so bad for you then why does it stop the shakes?

I finished a couple dozen books in 2025. These were some of my favourites.

Got to play some Black Knight pinball tonight, and I'm going to be playing that song in my head for the rest of the month #RipTaswell
