No one says 'cock-a-hoop' anymore.

@alexolney.co.uk Whenever there is a Pokemon Presents coming up, I get highly amused thinking it'll get these kinds of responses out of you.

I wonder what the likelihood is that I could write off 'new monitor' as a business expense and buy myself a big lizard.

I'm more proud of this than I'd care to admit.

Why the hell am I not verified? I have written SEVERAL things. SEVERAL

Me, presenting to my wife a DIY solution to a minor problem in the house: "My only concern is that this might be if anything TOO effective" Fails immediately.

Are humans custard?

GameChat's looking mighty acceptable right about now.

@nintendolife.com @alexolney.co.uk If #Pikmin5 lets you commandeer with a whistle a normal-sized, tribal human armed with a shovel or hoe or other yard tool for combat who absolutely towers over the Captain and their Pikmin, does that count as a spiritual successor to #DoshinTheGiant? #Pikmin

New pope revealed

The fact that Indy is getting a full card release and Oblivion and Fallout are codes in a box (not even Game Key Cards) smells like Machine Games may have put their foot down. No evidence to support this whatsoever.

@alexolney.co.uk was correct!

@alexolney.co.uk I paused at a moment in time

Casual reminder that this actually happened to me in my actual life. youtube.com/clip/UgkxY6H...

They desperately need to reprint this.

I feel like I'm preaching to the choir on Bluesky of all places, but watch this video now. Not later today, not tomorrow, n-o-w.

Lying shouldn't be acceptable. Nor should taking bribes. Or kowtowing to big companies. Or marginalising innocent people. Or murdering them. Or sexual assault. Or sexual assault on a child. When the hell did any of these things become a matter of contention?

Shout out to the dream where you find that whole other half of your house you forgot about and you decide to finally utilise all the extra space. I hate it.

incredible things are happening with microsoft word

Quite a lot of people seem to be taking these Direct rumours entirely at face value. I had sort of hoped said people would have grown to be a bit more cautious and sceptical, but here we are 🤷 I understand the hype, I understand the want, but rumours are just that, and can be made by anyone.

Cry me a pissing river.

The list of YouTube channels I actively do not enjoy is long indeed.

Am I just getting a bit too 'old man yells at cloud' or are basically all jeans available to buy stretchy and rubbish?

If @mattkc.com hasn't considered putting a GameCube in the eMac whilst keeping the original Mac guts contained as well, he absolutely should. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dYL...

Attention YouTuber types, some new options have been automatically enabled for ✨𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓈𝑜𝓃𝓈✨ that you're probably going to want to disable. They can be found in Settings>Channel>Advanced settings.

At this time of year?

Reminder: Nazis are the bad guys.

Ok, you've had your fun, bring the price of SSDs back down to sane levels again.

Good Sonic game. Good, not great.

Project Hail Mary is a bloody good time (book).

Current mood

I have played games

I can only assume the recently awful processing times on YouTube are due to compute power being redirected to all the AI bollocks they keep trying to shove in our faces. My stance is biased, and the evidence negligible, but here we are.

The bold colours and (to me) unreadable script honestly made me think there was a new Splatfest for about half a second.

It's with a VERY heavy heart that I wave goodbye to Felix as a colleague, but a tremendously full one that I see him move onto newer pastures that excite him so. Felix has been a rock for me, and the channel won't be the same, but I wouldn't trade the time we worked together for anything ❤️

Can't believe the Earth is 26 years old today 🎉🎉🎉

🐥🥝🦇🐝Don't forget the winter sale for all my games is still going on on Steam: store.steampowered.com/curator/4176... And also @itchio.bsky.social !🐤🥝🦇🐝 siactro.itch.io #wintersale #birbgames #lowpoly

I have worked out why turkey is used as a pork substitute. It is because the legs literally taste of pork.

I don't believe in coincidences. @antdude.bsky.social pushing Rick on the Battle Chariot is absolute proof that he's been stealing my personal choices and passing them off as his own.

Predictably, Nintendo's success with the format has meant that a 'direct' is starting to become a noun in its own right. www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/12...

Quite disappointed in Tom's Hardware for publishing this article comparing the Switch 2 and Steam Deck OLED. For the battery life test, they pitted the S2 running Star Wars Outlaws against the SD OLED running Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. www.tomsguide.com/gaming/handh...

The Geoff Awards

This man turned 34 today.

Release Hilda on Blu Ray you cowards.

It's time

It took Metroid Prime 4's soundtrack to make me really smell the compression used on Nintendo Music. Bleh.

Knitting is just one massive knot.

I've never understood the argument that being LGBTQ+ is a choice, because: 1. It very obviously isn't 2. Even if it was, so what?
