Funny that the things people are whinging about online (the pop and synth sections) are the parts of the new Periphery record that I like the most 🫠

I don’t have a dog in this fight, despite living in a predominantly Hibs area of Edinburgh, surrounded by Hibee neighbours. But I want Hearts to win today so badly - Scottish football really needs the stranglehold of the Old Form to be broken, even if only briefly.

Just read that Tool’s Lateralus is 25 years old today and I’m away to have an existential crisis

Oh man, I want this Lego Minas Tirith set so badly but it’s outrageously expensive, even by Lego standards 😭

One of, if not the, lowest Reform % I’ve seen in Scotland today. I was hoping for a Green win but very proud of my constituency!

Absolutely MASSIVE result! Hoping for lightning to strike twice in Edinburgh North Eastern and Leith!

Seeing 20%+ Reform votes in Glasgow, Aberdeen and various parts of the central belt is pretty sickening

Upgraded my Mac Mini from an M1 16GB to M4 24GB and am honestly dreading migrating all my music shit over to the new machine, installing libraries, getting settings the way I want them, dealing with moving licenses etc.

England today.

Just been to vote 🟢🟢

Bloody hell, Spurs won a league game. It’s been a miserable season with the potential to get even worse but… is this hope?

Erm power cut in EH8?

This has been a dreadful season as a Spurs fan and it looks likely to get so much worse but at least there’s the Arsenal bottle job to enjoy

First game of Kemet last night ! Lots of fun! Heavy conflict games can be a bit marmite with our group but this went down a treat as the city of losing a battle is rarely too severe #boardgames

Anyone who received their postal ballot today in the South of Scotland region, please be aware that "Independent Green Voice", which appears second on the list on the peach regional ballot paper, is NOT the Scottish Green Party. This is in fact a deliberate vote spoiling attempt by right-wingers.

Just had to look up what ‘aura farming’ is and a) my age is really starting to show and b) I’m still not even sure I know what it means

Pragmata looks very much like My Kind Of Thing

Lads, I’m playing Resident Evil 2 (1998) and I’m having an absolute whale of a time

Saw this handsome heron up at Holyrood Park this afternoon

It was also my first time in Ocean Terminal in nearly 10 years, when I finished up my last job in Leith. What on earth has happened there? A complete shell of itself, barely any functional businesses left. It was never exactly bustling but I used to enjoy popping in at lunchtime for a browse

Took the boy to see Super Mario Galaxy this morning. It was fun! Don’t quite understand the storm of vitriol against a fairly well put together kids’ film 🤷‍♀️

Edinburgh is really showing off for spring today. Figgate Park looking glorious.

Well, that’s my first playthrough of REmake since 2005 or 2006 done. It’s just sublime, and hasn’t dated anywhere near as much as you might think. I’m toying with the idea of replaying the whole series, which would take me most of the year. Speaking of which… on to Resident Evil Zero (groan)

Every time Trump opens his mouth, my pension saving fall, petrol prices go up and the interest rate for my upcoming mortgage renewal increases. I reckon I’ll probably be £250 a month worse off by the end of the year, maybe more, because of the giant orange toddler.

Project Hail Mary is very good but 20-30 minutes too long. I was staggered to find out that the test screening was apparently 3 hours 45 mins long

Edinburgh is just showing off today

Mind when 5 and a half years after a console launch you could pick up a slim / more power efficient version for a wee bit over £100?

Went to the garden centre on Saturday and now have an irrepressible desire to spend big bucks on a self-contained water feature for the back garden. If this is life in your 40s I’m kind of here for it tbh.

I finished RE9 at the weekend and honestly the Leon sections almost ruined it for me. Absolutely nobody asked for RE5 and 6 fan service. I’m now playing RE Remake for the first time in probably 16 or 17 years and it’s simply wonderful.

I introduced my kids to Untitled Goose Game and they LOVE it HONK

If you ever think your job is tough, imagine being this guy whose job tonight was pretty much to keep Diego Simeone and Igor Tudor in their technical areas.

Why oh why would you pack a CAT 5e cable in with a 2.5Gbps networking device?

Now do banks cranking up interest rates when the BoE base rate hasn’t budged yet

Can’t stop playing this absolute beauty #guitar

Slowly working my way through Resi 9. I find the Leon sections a real chore. It’s Resi 6 level gameplay and they’ve managed to make RC incredibly bland. The Grace levels are absolutely masterful and RC feels like a HUGE drop-off from the Care Centre. Should have centred the whole game on Grace.

Power Paladin were already one of my favourite new(ish) Power Metal bands and the I find they go and release a Warhammer Fantasy Battle-themed song ❤️ youtu.be/Chp9L5WEAzU

It’s almost as if the FIFA Peace Prize doesn’t mean anything anymore

Resident Evil 9 is real good

The 10 hour campaign is a selling point for me in the new Resident Evil.

Me, eyeing up Japanese import E-IIs

1. Windwaker 2. A Link to the Past 3. Breath of the Wild

Wait, what, why is there a shit Panzer Dragoon section in Doom: The Dark Ages?

BREAKING NEWS: Edinburgh councillors have thrown out plans for a ‘green’ data centre at South Gyle. There was cross-party agreement in refusing the plan, with concerns about ‘how it affects the climate emergency’ and ‘how emissions could be minimised’. edinburghminute.com

I really don’t get the CRT revival but it’s kinda cool seeing people’s setups

Some absolutely madlad has ported Super Monkey Ball to a WEBSITE. monkeyball-online.pages.dev

Absolutely nobody needed that Megadeth cover of Ride the Lightning

100% tariff on the MM/DD/YY format.

Age of Innovation last night. Second playthrough and I really began to appreciate the extra mechanics compared to Terra Mystica. Better still, a rare win for me! #BoardGames

Watching Spurs this evening was a terrible mistake

Just me, a 42 year old man, making responsible financial decisions #LEGO
