tetsuya mizuguchi truly, earnestly believes, with his whole heart and whole mind, that generic vocal trance from 2003 has the power to awaken humanity's shared consciousness and guide us to universal peace. The strength of his conviction is so powerful that it might actually cause this to be true

Announcing our next game in a matter of days, very excited

Man, I really feel a profound sense of loss for Destiny 2. So many good memories there and it feels like it's circling the drain

General Contact Unit

Made some flapjacks, they fell apart a lil tiny bit but quite pleased with them all the same

Well we were going to announce it anyway so

Thought this was very good https://codegood.co/writing/why-your-best-engineers-are-interviewing-elsewhere

Looking forward to my second Algorhythms event this evening!

After a few wonderful weeks of celebration with my husband (!) @joelotter.com, it’s back to the grind. If I missed your messages or calls in the chaos, my apologies - please chase!

Alan Wake 2

Left her with her grandparents for two weeks and now she won’t speak to me

Once again fallen into the trap of finding new ways to make writing on my blog easier instead of spending that time writing on my blog

Last day of honeymoon today! I suspect going back from this to London winter is going to be a bit jarring

I had a lovely weekend, thanks

Blaseball man

Just did my first 10K in over a decade (a few months after doing my first 5K in about the same time). Wasn’t fast but I didn’t stop! Feeling very proud of myself

Watched the first episode of Frieren and I’m fuckin bawling man

Not been a member of a political party for about five years but I think I’ve seen enough to feel good about changing that today

It’s the spooky season again, so we’ve put the Halloween skins back in the Feud piece store! Get em while they’re, uh, spooky

This is grim & dangerous over reach. This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent. Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

I think Bluesky could still be saved. Won't be, but could. They should hire me as Head of Comms. I could fix her (Jay) azhdarchid.com/jay-graber-c...

The Deep Blue Okay by Self Esteem is a song my brain simply refuses to get bored of. Whole album tbh

Good lord I’m getting married in two weeks

Lord let me never crash out as publicly as the Bluesky leadership

So there are a lot of Fediverse servers, right. One for basically any topic or community you could think of. Unfortunately today while researching something unrelated I stumbled across a “feminist” (TERF) instance. I’m not going to say the name […] https://www.joelotter.com/notes/2025/10/02-172924/

This is really good. I wrote something similar last year which now reads as far too optimistic imo www.joelotter.com/posts/2024/0...

I was able to speak to this sailor from New Quay, Hannah Schafer, 24 hours before she was seized by Israeli forces. Read her last messages before she was taken here -

TERFs are trying to bully a beloved London public swimming space into throwing out their longstanding traditions/policies in order to force trans people out of using the space. Please consider voicing your support for inclusivity here hampstead-heath-bathing-ponds.commonplace.is/en-GB/propos...

Went to my first Algorhythms event last night and it was fantastic

It's National Poetry Day today so for once I'm gonna post one of my own. I did this little series of more visual pieces a few years ago, they're all here: www.joelotter.com/clunks/

there's a big problem with the culture here on bluesky, and it's that not nearly enough people are posting about the 10 year anniversary of Carly Rae Jepsen's groundbreaking and timeless album EMOTION being this year and how awesome that is

Gorgeous day walking on the High Weald and around the (Five) Hundred Acre Wood

Me when Splatoon came out on Wii U

Bit of good news for your feed today

“Dropped your Brit card!” is a schoolyard insult where I’m from

The world is full of horrors but, conversely, my cat’s head is really warm when she comes for a cuddle after she’s been sleeping

Went to see me old mate Gecko play with Chris Read and a full band at Folklore in Hackney last night and it was lovely

Well that’s taken the difficulty out of deciding whether to join the Greens or wait and see

cannot believe how bad the Your Party launch and rollout has been. took a huge and deeply felt upsurge in british left wing politics and just pissed it up the wall

The poet in this is Kareem Parkins Brown who is IMO one of the most essential voices of this decade

The chief judge of the Rwandan genocide tribunal has concluded, after studying the evidence exhaustively, that the Israeli government and military are committing genocide in Gaza: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/o...

Today we released Storm Lancers on Switch! Honestly so cool to be part of a Nintendo Direct. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXW7...

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

lol Bluesky’s latest moderation fiasco has made Masto feel busy for the first time in ages. I’m here if you fancy it otter.garden/@joel My instance (I run it) also accepts new folks btw. And i won’t ban you for saying rest in piss

Often reminded of that brilliant Matt Lees quote from a while back where he says Dark Souls is difficult in the same way a person is difficult

You join us live from Danny Dyer’s birthday drinks.

Me in the back of the car: “Silk-song! Silk-song!” @okw.bsky.social: “We have bugs at home”

I still believe
