I tend to get tired at about midnight but if I have the day off work the next day I'll sometimes just ignore it. Then my brain gets all confused, assumes it's not tired and I end up sitting here at 2am wide awake writing about the thing that just happened and then posting it next to a humorous gif.

So... GWAR covered 'Pink Pony Club'...

Every now and then a movie just, for whatever reason, escapes me. I forget it's released, even when reminded I never get around to watching... Spider-Man Across The Spider-Verse is one of those. I even owned the art book before getting around to watching the movie! I have nothing much to say that

The only reason Scotland aren't being given another Independence referendum is because Labour know which way they'll vote. You can also replace 'Scottish Independence' with 'Rejoining the EU' and it's the same sentence. Don't mind me, posting political stuff while debating when to put the food on.

In a bit of a movie mood the past few days, next up is Final Destination: Bloodlines. I went off of the series a long while back as my dad would watch them RELIGIOUSLY over and over. I swear one was on every damn week! This reboot of sorts surprised me in that it felt fresh and I enjoyed the watch

I'd thought I'd give Greenland (the movie!) a try last night and I shit you not the first 25mins of the movie are, IMO, the best representation of what would actually happen from a real life natural disaster (comet strike) that I've seen in movie form. It's a shame the movie didn't end there.

Was introduced to Lord of the Lost via Eurovision where they placed dead last with Blood & Glitter which was, frankly, criminal. Anyways apart from being pretty awesome I found out they do the odd cover...!

My sister has grown very attached to a guy from the US deep in Orange Fuck country. We had a pretty awkward conversation but I feel like I made my position clear. I worry a bit because she's always been much more 'on the right' than me with her views. But she's her own person I guess.

Last night's viewing pleasure was Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning and... yeh, it was alright I guess? I think I was more emotional about the fact MI and Tom Cruise have been on my screen since I was 10 and this was the finale rather than anything happening on screen.

Bantha Burgers - Star Wars Ultimate. Bloodstone Bearclaw Pastry - Guild Wars 2. Both super easy to make and both were really good! Some interesting flavours coming from the burger meat and the pastries had a bit of a zing to them in that they use paprika and coffee!

How in the year of 2025 have the GW2 Orr metas not been put on timers?! Well over an hour of waiting for the Grenth event to pop just to get a tiny chance at an item used for a Homestead decoration...

I have an idea for a video game that I know, without being all big-headed and all, could pop off and yet I'm sat here during my lunch break of a job I don't particularly enjoy just staring into the ether. Having no clue how I would go about even starting to make it happen.

My GW1 buddy has been AWOL for 8 days now and we've not played since 18th Dec. Showing offline on Discord too. I don't know the guy that well but we've played/chatted 3-5 times a week since last April so it's very odd. Hope he's alright :/

Not saying it's definitely going to happen but... I'd be well up for a UK/Europe based Guild Wars 3 announcement event. Not really sure it's feasible given the current climate to travel over there so I think if ANET were to give some of us a cheeky heads up ahead of time we could arrange something.

*happy joyful noises while the world is burning*

Pretty day today. The smattering of cloud warmed it up a little but it was still pretty clear. Also spotted on a sea marker what I think is maybe a juvenile gannet? I'm no ornithologist and this was the clearest shot I could get so not too sure.

I think the fact that Pokémon are named the same thing as the only word in their vocabulary is a little silly.

I have this tradition at the end of Wintersday in GW2 where I take my three mains up to the gantry atop the Crown Pavilion and take turns drinking something alcoholic. I just like the idea of my characters getting together for a few drinks I guess, even if I can't see them all on screen.

(Spoilers, don't watch it) Cobra Kai was the biggest surprise I've had from a series in the past decade, I thoroughly enjoyed it until sadly it came to an end last year. I then got word that Ralph Macchio would be joining Jackie Chan for a crossover of sorts, old and new Karate Kid and a potential

I've never really been up on Japanese wrestling so I can't profess to be a Hiroshi Tanahashi fan but I still knew of his influence and what he means to so many. One of the all timers took his bow today and I'm lucky to have seen him wrestle his final UK match. As is apparently tradition... GO ACE!

Braised Deathclaw Steak from the Fallout cookbook... except I found out that if you replace pork belly with low fat loin steaks it kinda just cures the meat 😆 That was... intense!

(No spoiler) I really enjoyed the first Now You See Me when it first released because it had some heart to it, the trick was magnificent and a finale I didn't see coming. The second movie was a let-down as it seemed to position itself more as an action movie, the final trick dull and uninteresting.

(no spoilers) I never really saw Stranger Things for the juggernaut it is. More style over substance but as with Squid Game I can see why it got the following it did. This final season really didn't change my mind in that respect but it does feel strange (🫡) saying goodbye to something that's been

*Usual morning scroll through bSky* Starts hitting AEW New Year's Smash spoilers. Starts hitting Stranger Things finale spoilers. *stops scrolling*

2025 has been a terrible year irl but a pretty great one in the fictional space. I'm grateful games exist and there's been some decent series to watch, it's taken the sting out of a year full of health issues and the complete destruction of my social life. On the plus side 2026 has to be better!

Apparently my new thing is looking at Florida homes for sale and wondering why anyone would want to live there in a wooden shed for half a million dollars. In strange news today the musician Trevor DeMaere sub'd to my 0-video YT channel and ‪Alex Abrahantes of AEW fame responded to me on bSky.

Sitting there Xmas day, bad back so could hardly move, email alerts come in from eBay saved searches and I see a light gun I don't own. I'll take that thank you very much! Arrived today. The box to a light gun. Because I didn't read the MULTIPLE warnings that I was paying £15 for an empty box...

You have NO IDEA how big the original of this was in the UK back in the day... Yeh I've been listening to 90s/00s bangers on YT for the past 4hrs now, I'm deeeep down that rabbit hole!

Didn't think I'd spend the first hour of my morning today defending the Avatar franchise from brain dead takes and the usual 'it has no culture so it's bad' trope. People just can't for some reason accept that just because they dislike the movies others can have a differing opinion.

🫢

Well that was... certainly a christmas. Definitely one in a whole long list of other... ones. 🎄 I'm just going to sink into a rum & coke now and have A evening. Hope you're all having a great day!

I don't consider myself a good writer in any way, shape or form but I do like being a little silly now and then... 😅

Tried getting in the festive mood with a trip out to see some cool Christmas lights with the sis and nephew. Difficult year, kinda just want to get through it but it's always nice chatting to the little one about Minecraft and whatever crap he's currently watching on YT^^

John Candy wasn't THAT guy for me growing up but was keen to watch the doc to find out who he was as a person. The answer? This is a 90min documentary about someone who was 'nice' and 'respectful'. I just don't know that I needed to watch this to get that impression. I love that he was pretty much

Who the fck thought locking the Indiana Jones DLC behind a massive chunk of the story was a good idea? Lose the save, sucks to be you! -.- There's literally a button on the main menu that tells you who to get the DLC quest from. Instead of, you know, launching the fcking quest! Bloody ridiculous.

When watching movies I tend to leave my place late so I don't have to watch the trailers. Arrived late to Avatar, trailers still running but have no idea what movie is being shown. "Oh [redacted] has a new movie? Cool" 10 seconds later: *[redacted] will return in Avengers: Doomsday* ...

Sitting here now wondering if I should go watch F&A again. As much as I thought it could have been improved upon I can't state enough how much this universe means to me. The strength it gives me when things are rough irl. A bit like GW2's Tyria it's my go-to happy place.

Avatar came out at a time in my life where I NEEDED that movie. It's my #1 of all time, I'm forever grateful for it. The Way of Water brought visuals that I could never imagine. I can see its flaws but it's more of what made the original special. So with that said you'll know how much heavy

I want to give myself a gift for the holidays, and one of the most enjoyable things for me is drawing something for someone. ^^ So, here's a tiny unplanned raffle / giveaway for fun. Happy Xmas & NY!

Solar Opposites peaced out recently and it wasn't a great end to a very average animated comedy. Justin Roiland's rightful kicking off the show left it in limbo but Dan Stevens did a great job replacing. Ultimately though I'll probably remember it most for the 'In the Wall' episodes, those were fun.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw Mick Foley trending... thank fuck it's for all the right reasons. The guy has been my fav wrestler since childhood. Before I was aware of the man behind the char I adored him so as an adult seeing him carry on being an amazing human it makes me smile so damn hard.

I don't deal with praise well, it's not something I'm super used to receiving but my sister suggested I post some photos of my new bedroom decor :) Ignore the empty frames (and bowl on the table), the prints I ordered arrived B&W -.-

Finally got around to watching the final season of Snowpiercer. I think the series is one of the most underrated of modern times. It never got the love it deserved and while the final season wasn't the strongest I maintain that it's one of the best series going at just telling an interesting story.

Robin Ince was forced to quit a 16 year strong BBC podcast due to his 'problematic views'. Care to take a guess what they are? Support for the trans community. Speaking out against the genocide in Gaza. Criticism of Trump. I'll be glad when the BBC shuts down.

Me right now, fresh out of the shower...

I've always wondered why we never got statues of the three 'claw island heroes' in LA or somewhere. Would be a nice touch if ANET did that and put a little plaque next to Tybalt similar to the Stan LePard one.

More than deserved, one of my favourite performances in a game I've ever experienced. Jennifer is also such a nice person OMG...

Just sat down to lock in for the stream (guess who im rooting for!) and saw the VoE ad 😆

Actually teared up during some of this -.- It's weird thinking back over my time with GW2. I have some amazing memories but also some bad ones. What's clear though is that GW2 has been that welcoming, comforting constant over the years and it's actually taught me a lot about myself during that time

🍎😔 Forgal was 'my guy' but Tybalt was very special to many in the GW2 community. Rest well Jim. "I've done a lot of things wrong in my life. But this one thing, I'm gonna do right."
