Another one gone 😞

The GOAT has arrived. The show is infinitely better from this point on! Nothing bad will ever happen to him 😢

This isn’t for game devs, this is for investors and the people who tell them where to invest their money.

In the Don and Betty are getting a divorce arc of Mad Men. The show makes it clear that Don is a bad guy in it all but somehow Pete is still the worst. Vincent Kartheiser really doesn’t get enough credit for the work he does making Pete a compelling asshole.

Train chaos on the route to Middlesbrough today. Trains from London cancelled and now a land slip has closed the other line. 🤞I make it, otherwise I’ll be looking for a hotel in York 😅

Got my stuff together for my lil SRPG project. It is fun to be revisiting RPG Maker after so long. It is the same but different at the same time.

If you told younger me that in 2026 I would be hyped for a video game starring a giant chicken man, he’d say, “Seems legit” and carry on with his day.

Nearing the end of season 1 of Mad Men and they really don’t make shows like this anymore. Long form drama with a monster/ad-campaign of the week format. It just works.

Finally watched Sinners and ended up really enjoying it. The Jack O’Connell literally jumps into the movie and starts messing shit up!

Both kids settled in bed by 8:30! 💪 Feels a bit weird to have a proper evening lined up now

Fuck me. The stupidity of some people who interact with these things.

The Star Wars fandom is currently up in arms at the Mando and Grogu Super Bowl spot. A fun little ad that was targeting people who aren’t already going to be in line to see the film on day one. From their reaction you’d think the Mandalorian had drop kicked Grogu over the goal or something.

Oh boy, the vultures are really circling now. I was hoping we’d avoid the revolving door of PM’s from the Conservative era but alas, here we are.

The big difference between this rewatch of Mad Men and my last one is that I no longer smoke. This show man, it’s giving me major cravings and it’s been a good 12 or so years since my last cig.

Playing Fire Emblem Engage has got me wanting to make a little SRPG as a side project. So weird that so few games outside of FE and Advance Wars go for simpler tactical combat.

Anyone know how to get two neurodivergent kids to go to bed at a reasonable time 😩

Started playing Fire Emblem Engage tonight. Why does every turn based RPG need the most drawn out and laborious tutorial section?!

I’m in the give me more remasters, re-releases and remakes of all the games camp. This industry is terrible at preserving its history and these are often the best/only way to easily play older games on newer hardware.

Fun long weekend of games and chums, weirdly celebrating the life of a chum no longer with us ahead of his memorial service next week.

That moment when you tell your players they have 5mins to strategise and start a timer 🤣 #dungeonsanddragons #dnd

Mad Men S01E02 = ALL MEN ARE BASTARDS

One day I’ll best Fate of the Fellowship….one day…

Started re-watching Mad Men, damn this show is good.

There is more cringe than people who call their phone their “daily driver” Mate it is your phone. Chill out.

My love for Rocket Raccoon has entered a new stage: Last night I dreamt I was his son.

Managed to survive until my January payday 😮‍💨

So Farage is going to resign right? Better politicians have been forced out for much less.

The SENCo at my kids’ school is clearly using ChatGPT to write their emails. How can I trust anything they say at this point? It is all copy/paste walls of garbage.

Good producers have stopped me making a fool of myself on many occasions.

I wonder which “fans” misunderstand their franchise of choice the most? Star Trek Star Wars Warhammer 40,000 They all have an incredibly loud and equally stupid contingent that refuses to see the themes and messages of these worlds. 🤔

Rewatched Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning and it’s a damn fine film. It may be a bit bloated and has multiple opening acts but Ethan Hunt is the living manifestation of destiny, you’ve gotta let him cook!

Custodes (Henry Cavills fave Warhammer army) got a glow up last night and finally some female head and body options! The updated designs are also more in keeping with the classic art for them too. It’s all very cool to see.

X blocking the ability to pay to make Gen AI porn of images in the UK doesn’t solve the problem at all. It is still able to be done as part of the platform’s offering. Your images can still be used to violate you.

That they allowed it, even for a moment,is shameful but at least they’ve seen sense. Eventually. After everyone had to shout at them. A lot.

No one I know uses ozempic but if you take a look at the UK papers you’d think everyone is overdosing on it. Why are we so obsessed with weight loss in the UK?

“That’s not to code, lawsuit waiting to happen.”

I’ve got a TPK-ing D&D weekend to plan for the end of the month 😱 The players will suffer, in a fun way!

Tackling board game manufacturing cost estimates for my homework this week. I don’t know if you know this but….everything is expensive.

At Hot Wheels Monster Trucks live which is very cool. Except for one problem…I forgot to change out of my slippers and into trainers 🤣

So his Game Awards acceptance speech was pure BS then. Good to know.

This is creepy A F

There are 242 working days in 2026. If you write just one page a day - just 250-300wds, roughly 5 Bsky posts - you will have two full scripts or a novel by New Years Eve. If you write just two pages a day - just 500-600 words - you will have five scripts or one epic novel. Just. Keep. Writing.

Glad to see my queen getting more story in season 2 of the show!

Feels like it’s been 10 years already and we’re only on day 7

I actually had some time today to do my homework for the board game course I’m on + some design work off the back of it too! Folks, is this what free time is like for everyone else?!

What the fuck

Finished Pluribus season 1 and had a very good time. It’s a real thinker of thing if you want it to be.

2024 was a tire fire, 2025 was one of rebuilding for me. He’s hoping 2026 chills out a bit.

STOP CALLING THEM REBOOTS, THEY ARE LEGACY SEQUELS YOU FOOLS!!!! Reboot = Re-doing everything from the beginning. Legacy Sequel = Continuing the story that ended X number of years ago. IT IS NOT THAT HARD TO GRASP!!!!

Did some major organising of my board game collection. This is my pile of unplayed shame (not including expansions). Determined to get it down to zero ASAP
