Don't often look forward to the postie arriving but I did today. They brought me a copy of @davehone.bsky.social and @markwitton.bsky.social 's Spinosaut Tales. This should be very interesting.

Yesterday, my parent channel's Hudson Soft retrospective (part 3) got some interest, but some of you may want to start at the beginning, so here is part 1 which covers Hudson from 1973 to 1987. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYAx... #retrogaming #hudsonsoft #famicom

Would the people with the fireworks please insert them into their rear end before letting them off please? It might muffle the noise a bit.

Over on the Rubbish Heap's parent channel, the 3rd instalment on Hudson Soft, which covers their history between 1992 and 1994 and looks at whether NEC and Hudson saw the PC Engine as a success or failure in the end. And lots of games shown! youtu.be/Iy8ZfEEcTtU #retrogaming #pcengine #hudsonsoft

Our biggest ever buy one get one free bundles have just gone live. secondsandsales.com/collections/...

I really need to stop lusting after the Meadowphysics Grasshopper back pack. I don't actually have a use for one eve though I think its cute. meadowphysics.com/products/gra...

In my ongoing quest to run a YouTube channel that only a tiny amount of people watch, this week over on the Rubbish Heap I take a look at a Japan only Saturn Bomberman game and wonder - is this one more of a case of Fright rather than Fight? youtu.be/pFrK5T5rNJw #segasaturn #retrogaming #bomberman

Arrgh! Fuck off with the fireworks! 🤬

My only problem with the new super interesting paper confirming Nanotyrannus was a thing is that its published in Nature and not something open access. I hate paywalls. 🙁

Quite enjoyed this episode. I seem to have pre-ordered the book as well.

I'd probably buy these if I didn't already have them.

Happy to announce, my palaeoart below, won the "Impression on China" Award (II), organized by the Chinese Embassy in Poland.

Was a bit surprised to find it was 2pm when I woke up, didn't think I was that tired. Oh well. 😀

This may be Wednesday but it feels like Monday. Bit rude of it.

King Prince Charles is visiting the Vatican today, presumably to request Prince Andrew be moved to a different parish after some trouble.

Anyone posting ai slop should be shamed but especially journalists

Not at all fond of Mondays.

Seeing the message Win 11 update 25H2 is available doesn't excite me in the slightest. I just hope that after it gets forced on me I'll at least be able to uninstall the AI rubbish again, did that with the last update. Co-pilot is a waste of space.

Oh. 🥲

A story in three parts

YouTube is being useless, basically won't play anything (on both phone and laptop) even adverts.

Been watching a load of video about small camper vans and really like a lot of them. Then reality hits when I remember I can't afford one, haven't the skill to set one up and am too tall for the ones I like. Bloody reality, its so annoying. 🤣

So sick and tired of migraines. Especially on a nice bright, still Sunday.

And the sky was happy until it heard about the coastal storm that’s coming.

Were Nigel and Nathan fronting for a non-woke Russian tampon manufacturer and lost the contract or something?

Oh dear, 3kg of cola bottle sweets + carvery over 3 days = problems. That is a bad craving. 😮 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In advance of the publication of my new book with @markwitton.bsky.social, "Spinosaur Tales" (Nov 6th), for #FossilFriday, here's a nice close up of a tooth of Baryonyx sitting in the jaw of the holotype. More spinosaur goodness coming in the next weeks as I desperately try to promote the book.

Freedom is just another name for “a gap in the law”.

The back garden is getting tidied up today. I apologised to the foxes.

Today will be fuelled even more coffee than usual, its my only hope to be able to human. ☕☕☕☕

This should be provoking freak outs from all the right people. BBC online news article: "Human skin DNA fertilised to make embryo for first time" . www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

One absolutely wonderful sunset. Wow.

Could watch the foxes that have decided our overgrown back garden is a cool place to be for hours. It is a pity that I don't have a camera that would get me good pictures of them.

We've given in and turned on the heating.

Its all down hill to the weekend, a very good thing.

Did anyone give a time for the rapture? Thinking it might have been postponed yet again.

Very happy that someone/thing snuck some lovely weather in.

The UK has recognised Palestine. It must now end its complicity in its destruction, and in the genocide of its people.

Very much this.

Don't think coffee is having the desired effect today, still sleepy.

Been pretty sure it wasn't My Party and now the latest stuff just confirms my feelings.

New guide book day. Peak Bagging Peak District by Anna Paxton from Vertebrate Publishing. Nice book with a load of interesting routes for an area I love.

5 small pleasures of life 1 1st coffee 2 realising I'm still not dead 3 2nd coffee 4 3rd coffee 5 going back to bed. So unexciting, but that's me these days.

Is it actually Autumn now or is there a sneaky bit of Summer still hiding around the corner?

Not sure which is greyer, the weather or my mood.

Well that's another anniversary I missed, but woo, Super Mario Bros is 40 years old...a couple of years ago one cold Christmas/New Year in my apartment in Iwate, I sat down with my pencil and some color pencils and recreated the Japanese box art. #retrogaming #supermariobros #artwork #nintendo

Glad I got home before the thunderstorms, that's seriously heavy rain. Its not joking about and will straight out soak you.

Autumn portal, no. 3.

As good a result as possible had from my hospital appointment, blood is being blood not treacle and I don't have to go back for 8 weeks.

Seems my favourite GP is leaving the practice, this happens all too often.
