I think the heat has finally gotten the better of me today. It's not as warn as it has been, but now we don't have that cool sea breeze washing into our caravan everything feels horribly warm. Had to have a lie down in the middle afternoon.

[itshappeningmeme] I can't wait to see how much these tickets are going to set me back. #oasis

The fog of war in this game seems to be a little.... unevenly applied. I'll stumble upon an enemy unit but can't do anything with it. The enemy stumbles upon my unit and they're still allowed to finish their move. That seems incredibly unbalanced. #advancewars

Playing some #advancewars and I just completed a mission that basically required me to spawn and then send out 20 odd infantry units to their death. We ultimately outlasted the enemy, but fuck me I don't feel good about that in the slightest.

Bit of an emotional mess at the moment. Spent much of last Friday crying at my son's nursery graduation. Spent more time than I'd like this week thinking I wasn't giving the kids the holiday they deserved. Now I'm sat here looking at the snaps from the previous three holidays whilst hugging my […]

Well we're home now and all miserable. So what did we do? We booked our summer holiday for next summer already. Just like last year. Yay.

[UKPol - White British Male] "wawaaa why du they 'av to say it's a wite British male?'. Why? Because whenever something bad happens and they don't instantly announce the ethnicity of the arrested party you lot start looting the local fucking high street you fucking twat. #ukpol #ukpolitics

Playing #advancewars reminds me of playing #xcomenemyunknown a lot. Mainly because I'm fucking terrible at both of them.

I've hit the stage of our family holiday where I never want to see, hear or be around any of these dickheads again in my life.

Not to go all *midlife crisis* on main but I definitely fell in love with the women working in HMV. It was a full on Ramona Flowers moment.

I'm not usually a #football shirt guy but the new #swfc home shirt is a thing of beauty. Shame about the advert, but I'm sure you can buy a version without that? #soccer

After a very busy day I found a little time to start #advancewars last night. Then about six hours later I put the thing down and went to sleep. I am now running on far too little sleep and it's all my own fault. What a game though right? #videogames #retrogame

[Photo from a future episode of HotD.] What's she seen? Wrong answer only. #hotd #houseofthedragonhbo #asoiaf

I finished #SMB3 last night. What a game eh? Kind of amazing that it runs on the same hardware that the OG Super Mario Bros game runs on too. Expertise I guess. Some of those levels feel like community made Mario Maker levels, for better or worse. Some of them […] [Original post on mstdn.games]

Tunic, Neon White and Drop Dutchy are all fantastic. And I've heard nothing but great things about Sea of Stars to boot. https://mastodon.world/@steamdeckhq/116880041287662055

[UKPol - Clacton By-election] Lulz. Looks like RestoreUK, The Tories and Labour will be skipping the Clacton By-election. Hopefully the Lib-Dems and Greens follow suit. Give Farage is hollow victory, then let him face the music once again. Haha. #ukpol #ukpolitics

I spent a lot of time redesigning and improving the new https://fediverse.info it would mean a lot to me if you boost this, and spread awareness of this powerful onboarding resource ❤️

[UKPol / Farage] You get the polticians you deserve. I've said that a hundred times and it holds true once again. Farage is a self serving cunt of a human who's entire political ideology is 'How Does This Benefit Me?'. He doesn't care about you. He doesn't care about your community. He doesn't […]

The writing still sometimes makes no sense, but I've really enjoyed being 'back' in the world of #westeros with the most recent episodes of #hotd. Season two was an absolute disaster, largely because of how it ended; moving the final two episodes of that season to the front of season three was […]

Three. We're at three on the trot. What is this, 2013 GOT? What is happening. https://mstdn.games/@danielholt/116835153383234073

It ain't bad out there today. #cleethorps #uk

I'm going to attempt to stream the most recent episode of #hotd tonight on my caravan sites temperamental data signal. It's been shit every single year we've come here...but this year (I think it's because we're on a totally different part of the site) I've had a very stable 5G signal […]

Took the kids out for a evening walk last night along the beach. We walked for a good bit, found an amazing beach we hadn't seen before and had a wonderful time.... Until Daddy tried for a shortcut on the return journey. Daddy made a mistake and the eldest ended up making like a mud wrestler by […]

[Eye contact selfie or something I guess?] I'm a millennial on holiday and I'm taking selfies.

Wouldn't be a British caravan holiday with the kids without a little #gojetters on a Sunday morning would it? #uk #parent

Deciding on playing through #smb3 for the first time on my holiday (when the kids are in bed obviously - Daddy is allowed to chill too). I'm enjoying it so far... But fuck this guy. Seriously. What a top tier knobhead. #retrogames #videogames

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drszHQJtR7o I am so fucking hyped! #oasis

#Flyers #Ducks @hockey

I *think* #minathehollower may be bad for my mental health. It's just, honestly insanely frustrating to play. I'm getting almost constantly knocked back to my death. Enemies can attack in ways that you just can't (namely diagonally). And I find the art style to be rather difficult to parse, let […]

[Minor HotD spoiler hinting at things to come.] People gotta stop watching #hotd like it's a team sport. These arseholes are exactly that, arseholes. Even the ones you think you like are gonna do some shit that you'll find irredeemable. Essentially, if you think this story has a happy ending […]

Just spent 15 minutes researching the differences between two versions of the song 'Takedown' off of the KPOP Demon Hunters OST. I can no confidently tell my daughter why there's two versions of the same song on the album. Parenting changes you guys.

#minathehollower I dunno man, I dunno.

I don't want a massage but I would pay someone to scratch my back and play with my hair. Why can't I get that?

I'm starting #minathehollower and already I'm thinking its harder than what I wanted it to be.

I'm now the loving owner of a copy of #deadasdisco. I've been eyeing it up for a while and finally pulled the trigger. Now I've spent about ten minutes with it and it seems really fun..... ......Anyway, given it's still in early access I've thrown it into my EA folder and I'll play it when it […]

His legs may be gone, and he doesn't check as hard as he used to but Ovi is back for one final ride. I am hyped. My captain my captain! #Hockey #HNOM #ALLCAPS @hockey

Just realised that one of my favourite developers (who went AWOL for like half a decade) have a big budget game coming out in a few months... It's a Silent Hill game and I've got absolutely no history, or interest with that franchise. And now I'm sad. Y'all should go play #storiesuntold and […]

Some people aren't happy unless they are mad.

Seven hells! Two great episodes of #houseofthedragon back to back. Imagine how we'd feel about season two if we ended with these episodes rather than needlessly pushing them into season 3. Ridiculous decision by the HBO exec team and one that really hurt the show as a whole. Still, fucking […]

[SPOILERS FOR HOTD 3x02 - Pre release Leaks. Continue with caution.] I'm expecting Otto to die during this season, but if the rumours around his demise coming as early as the next episode (302) are to be beleived, then I'm very dissapointed indeed. Through all the shows many faults, Otto (and […]

I’ve been doing something kind of fun with my latest #CrossStitch project. In an attempt to tame multiple chaos stitching ways & deal with a confetti filled pattern, I’m completing one color at a time. I still get a dose of chaos choosing the order of the […] [Original post on mindly.social]

This just ended. Thanks for the responses. This actually did significantly better than I thought it would. https://mstdn.games/@danielholt/116786910765542286

One more week. Five days. That's all that stands between me and my partner and sweet freedom that not having to do the fucking school run brings. And then? When we do have to do it again.....both of them will be at school full time. What a dream. What an absolute dream. #ukparent

John Carlson signing for the #hurricanes would be almost as painful to me as that time Lars Eller signed with the Penguins. I've never been a Carlson Stan or anything, but he's been in DC for such a long time I'd hate to see him on any of Pitt, Philly, NYR or Carolina. Please John. Sign in […]

We're away next week. Caravan. British seaside. You know the drill. The weather is looking....we'll we're talking 30s again. Now I'm wondering if I've got space for four people, a week's worth of stuff *and* the AC unit in my 09 MkII Focus. Might have to sacrifice the eldest kid. She's not […]

It's gone kinda cool, so I'm taking this opportunity to play a little steam deck in the garden.

.... Don't give me hope. #uk

Getting a double-jump in a videogame is almost always a fantastic moment. Just got it in #lunaabyss and I don't know how I ever lived without it.

#lunaabyss is a videogame ass videogame.

Anyone on here ever ordered glasses online? Looking to get myself some presciption sunglasses off a website and I'm a little worried that I don't have my PD on the prescription.
