Fannying about in Blender again, creating the setting for the next chapter in Keezees. 1000 points if you can guess both inspirations for the scene (one real, one fictional). #webcomic #comic #scotland #glasgow #blender #3dart

A friend just returned from Antarctica, including a trip to Damoy Hut, a former British Antarctic Survey shelter that's preserved as a heritage site. And what were polar scientists reading in the 80s to pass time during a blizzard? Why, the Thrill Power of @2000ad.bsky.social of course!

Saw Predator: Badlands today. Loved it. Easily the *counts on fingers* 4th best Predator film.

Found Resident Evil 4 for the PS2 for 2 quid in a charity shop. Yaldi. Been a while since I found a bargain game in a charity shop. Opened it up and found ancient artifacts; added my own to continue the story. #ResidentEvil #retrogaming #PS2 #bargain

The latest episode of Keezees is up! (# 516). Back to a normal schedule, even with a new job, hows that for planning? Need a catch-up? Here's a link to the archive. keezees.com/archive.html #webcomic #comics #indiecomics #comicstrips #Scotland #Glasgow

The Cathouse have put up all their crackin photos from Halloween over on their FB page, so go and have a swatch, I'm reposting a couple of me here. www.facebook.com/media/set/?v... #scotland #glasgow #cathouse #cathouseglasgow #halloween #spiderman #spiderpunk #spiderverse #punk #diy #cosplay

The latest episode of Keezees is up! (#515). Apologies for the wait, but my Spider-Punk costume took up all my spare time. Back to normal now, though! Need a catch-up? Here's a link to the archive. keezees.com/archive.html #webcomic #comics #indiecomics #comicstrips #Scotland #Glasgow

Guess who won the Cathouse Halloween costume contest? Female Pinhead, Florence Pugh from Midsommar and myself were called on stage and the crowd had to pick, genuinely thought one of them would win, but the crowd picked me; cash prize and Osiris vouchers, yaldi! #halloween #spiderpunk #punk #cosplay

Sneaky peek at this year's Halloween costume. Just need to hope my safety foam guitar gets the thumbs up from the Catty bouncers (I couldn't hurt anyone with it if I tried, it's soft as fuck) #halloween #cosplay #spiderpunk #spiderman #diy #punk

No idea what I'm doing. Bought a cheapo pair of gutties, bleached them, painted them red, now I'm trying to attach this canvas before adding a fuck-tonne of eyelets. My sewing skills are getting better, but this is going to test them. #punk #diy #sewing #spiderpunk #halloween #cosplay

Every year I tell myself "I'll get tickets for the annual SLF St Paddy's Day gig at the Barrowlands" and every year they're sold out straight away. This year was worse cos they played Glasgow TWICE, the Barrowlands and the Kelvingrove bandstand. Both were sold out. Gutted.

Found images of the actual badges Hobie Brown wears on-screen, and made my own cos I've got a badge maker (don't be jealous) and stuck them on my SpiderPunk battle jacket. #halloween #spiderpunk #spiderman #cosplay #punk #diy #badges

That's actually genuinely gutting :(

Painted and strung my SpiderPunk guitar. Printed off the guitar's stickers and glued them on, found some old wood effect wallpaper and stuck pits on to look like wear and tear, then went nuts with some Monster markers to make it look cartoony. #halloween #spiderpunk #spiderman #punk #diy #cosplay

Quick update; gave the SpiderPunk guitar a lick of paint. #halloween #spiderpunk #spiderman #cosplay #diy #punk

RGB sent to printers

More screwing and punching (and sewing), made some wrist/arm-bands for the SpiderPunk costume. A safety pin should be good enough to wear them. If not, I'll work something out. Why buy stuff when you can make it? #Halloween #cosplay #spiderpunk #spiderman #punk #DIY

Looked up fictional bands in the Marvel Universe & painted patches for them, my baseline Spiderman onesie arrived today along with foam clay to make head spikes & new eyes, and silver leather cord to make guitar strings & barbed wire. #halloween #cosplay #spiderpunk #spiderman #diy #halloweencostume

All the nuclear attack scenarios from the 1983 film Wargames have been listed by some mad bastard. Some of them are ideal band names. Favourites so far are... Chad Alert Turkish Decoy Iceland Maximum Bangladesh Thrust Sudan Surprise

Some more progress with the guitar. For the strings, I'm going to use some of the silver leather strips I bought ages ago to make barbed wire jewellery, and cut up hot-glue sticks to attach the tuning pegs. The wonkiness is deliberate. Getting there. . #halloween #punk #propmaking

#Halloween props and costume are underway. 10 points to whoever guesses what I'm going as.

Here's a wee poem for you, inspired after I was going through old Halo Reach videos on my 360, remembering my glory days. Reigning supreme, Carrying my team, RIP DAVESANAL CREAM #Halo #HaloReach #retrogaming #xbox #poetry

FYI whoever DM'd me, I can't access my DM's yet (new phone won't take Bluesky for some reason and I can't hook up my webcam to pass the new security bullshit ¬_¬)

The latest episode of Keezees is up! (#514). Woops, didn't realise I hadn't posted it, this week has flown in. Need a catch-up? Here's a link to the archive. keezees.com/archive.html #webcomic #comics #indiecomics #comicstrips #Scotland #Glasgow

New idea for the comic; an all girl band consisting of 3 nuns doing punk covers of Sound of Music tunes, called "The Nones".

Ooooh Myyyyy

Done!

Today is the 50th anniversary of the release of the greatest album of all time. In our new game we have added a room as a tribute to its opening track. Also a little Wall & Dark side reference in there too, maybe we should put Battersea Power Station & a flying pig in for good measure.

The sword of Ianna es sin duda uno de los mejores juegos jamás desarrollados para #MSX2 #ZXSpectrum y #AmstradCPC Una joya de @retroworks.es que te deslumbrará y que puedes descargar desde retroworks.es/php/game.php... Imprescindible 👍🕹️😊 #retrogaming

FFS. It's taken me 30+ years to realise why the opening theme to Thunder Force 4 is so familiar...that's the opening to Metallica's "Creeping Death", isn't it? youtu.be/Wqvwy9TV1g0?...

The latest episode of Keezees is up! (#513). The HMS Scotsman is finally revealed. Again, this part of the story has been knocking around my head for 6+ years. Need a catch-up? Here's a link to the archive. keezees.com/archive.html #webcomic #comics #indiecomics #comicstrips #Scotland #Glasgow

I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org

Went to a punk gig this afternoon in Glasgow. Moonshine Docks, The Fragz and Graffiti Club. Great bands, great gig, bought some merch. Unfortunately I realised there was a MAME cabinet next to my table and before the main act I started playing NewZealand Story until I got the high score. Priorities.

The latest episode of Keezees is up! (#512). Sorry about the delay, my PC literally blew up last week (the PSU went kaboom), took me a week to fix it. Need a catch-up? Here's a link to the archive. keezees.com/archive.html #webcomic #comics #indiecomics #comicstrips #Scotland #Glasgow

The Time Masters/ Les Maitres du Temps. WTF were the BBC thinking, putting that on in the afternoon? "It's a cartoon, it must be for kids", IT ABSOLUTELY IS NOT FOR KIDS www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b6f...

There are few moments in gaming where the game makes you feel like a God; case in point, after achieving the Jackpot on Roadkill on the Amiga, it tells you to "GET THE SUPER JACKPOT" and when you get it?...ooft. What other games have this kind of moment? #retrogaming #Amiga

The latest episode of Keezees is up! (#509). I was trying a new pen style, and I kind of like it, it's a wee bit more loosey goosey. Need a catch-up? Here's a link to the archive. keezees.com/archive.html #webcomic #comics #indiecomics #comicstrips #Scotland #Glasgow

Not particularly hot take: "...the place was abandoned, but there was warm food set on the table" is the Wilhelm Scream of scary story telling, it instantly pulls me out of whatever I had been enjoying up to that point. Please stop. Almost as bad as "Some point the finger at the Knights Templar..."

Years ago I heard it was an actual chart-topping band, under the nom de plume "The Spacewalkers", that made the Captain Zep theme tune but I can't remember who the accused were. Anyone know?

Scavenger was created by author of Nebulus, John Phillips, showcasing an phenomenal shadow effect unlike anything seen before on the #AtariST and #Amiga. The collapse of Hewson saw John move to The Bitmap Bros, resulting in its cancellation. gamesthatwerent.com/2021/02/scav...

Genuinely don't know if my site is safe from this bullshit UK #OnlineSafetyAct. I've got swearing in my comic, that's the most "dangerous" thing on the site. The guidelines seem deliberately vague as fuck. "Abusive or hateful content", that could be FUCKING ANYTHING.

Another two (TWO!) new episodes of Keezees are up, (#506 and #507). I am a generous God. Need a catch-up? Here's a link to the archive. keezees.com/archive.html #webcomic #comics #indiecomics #comicstrips #Scotland #Glasgow

Just realised that Savage Princess 1 passed 2000 downloads last week! Woohoo! Although Savage Princess 2 (which IMHO is better) only has 800+. No idea what CTR is, but SP2 has a higher one. What's the CTR?

A lot of you retro gaming types will be jetting off on holidays about now, so why not load up your tablets with a 92-page ZX Spectrum magazine? Perfect reading to accompany your pool-side Margaritas. Especially since it's just been updated to fix a couple of nasty typos. breakspace.itch.io/issue-2
