God I wish more people saw and understood Max’s point here. youtu.be/W_19-cos8Bc?... And not even just for gaming. But like…the internet in general. To quote a friend of mine. “People tend to forget that much of what we see online is intended to rage, shock and disgust you for easy viewership.”

Just finished Wonder Man. Genuinely a brilliant show. It made me cry. VERY highly recommended.

I never bring it up here but I’m a fan of 80s and 90s wrestling and the biography of Gorilla Monsoon by Brian R Solomon is wonderful I got to the end and started tearing up. Gino was a good man and getting to the end made it feel like losing an old friend. Thanks so much for everything Gorillla.

I am currently watching the opera Castor and Pollux. I was not expecting Pollux to Kamehameha/Hadoken the demons of Hades to death.

So happy that it’s not just a quick cameo but that they’ll actually be in the writer’s room for the episode. Love seeing the talent that helped build MST3K being celebrated and embraced and highlighted

Completely random but a friend bought me an old 50s Basie LP from a charity shop. Sounds surprisingly good condition for something that’s clearly been played a lot. Very charming. #jazzsky

Damn I’m enjoying this Walter Smith III album. For a modern jazz album? It stylistically sounds like something that came out of the late 60s or early 70s. Damn it’s smooth. I’ll have to track down a vinyl of it one day

I’m a very lucky man to have both of these. Very stylistically different. But they both sound amazing. Satriani in particular sounded literally perfect. I could have been persuaded it was the master recording for Pete’s sake it was that good.

I really respect this official Gundam art for having Sarah look at the audience and go, “Can you believe this fuckin guy?”

Folks, we've got movie sign. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rif...

White Lightning coming through! Yes! Tam-a-mo! Tam-a-mo! I am….way too excited for this.

It’s only just hit me last night how much I was desperately hoping for the Cagliostro dub to be good (which it is. AMAZING. Thanks so much to everyone involved) when I realised that the first time I watched it? I was legitimately crying. Which I don’t do often. I really do love Lupin #LupinIII

Most TF manufacturing and shipping comes outa Vietnam which hasn't been hit by the tariffs in the sameway as China. The Prices in the UK prove the price raises have 0 to do with the Tariffs and everything to do with Hasbro smelling an opportunity to extort customers in a way most wont notice

He arrived! Believe in the thief! It’s a beautiful dub and I’m overjoyed to have this at last after so many years.

90% of my animation friends are unemployed. I'm on hiatus. The value of animation is proven every year. Greenlight new shows! Don't overdevelop. Don't chase trends. You can't chase trends w/ animation! It takes too long! Tell good stories. Take risks."Demon Hunters" was a risk & look how it paid off

I hate it when I can’t sleep. God damn it. Last night sucked

Been experiencing Gundam for the first time. Here's a Zaku drawn from memory.

The more and more of Macross 7 I watch? The weirder it seems to get. I’m enjoying it. But it is insane. And Mylene is driving me nuts. And also the military guy in charge of the Jamming Birds. Screw him

Just found out they planted a Sakura Cherry tree outside the local library as one of 30 across the local area because of efforts from a local Japan association (which is apparently a thing.) Give it a few years and we’ll actually have our own local cherry blossoms!

Allowed myself a moment of drawing for fun. It was. Back to work. Stay safe, abolish ice.

Here’s my three sentence review of the shitty Tomb Raider anime on Netflix. COLONIALISM BAD! HULK SMASH! AFRICAN CULTURAL GODS APPARENTLY USELESS!

I just got the dispatch notice for my vinyl copy of Flying Beagle! Yes! Is it after midnight? Yes. Do I care? No. The news is too good not to share!

The biggest sin of a Lupin movie or special, or even just a TV episode, is it ending up being boring. They made an episode about a clogged toilet a fascinating character study; it’s a character-driven show, that’s why it works, and some writers forget that and go all-in on plot =p

This is the kinda shit they're building in the Principality of Zeon

Blackmore’s Mildly Grey Afternoon (slightly diminish a band)

Finished Blokees Soundwave. Great kit but think when I do anoyher (and I Will, just not thus month) ill use my model equipment, becouse ow my fingers) #transformers

The hoover just ate my headphones so I guess I’m buying new headphones today. Oh boy. Bloody rumba thing.

Oh yes! Now THIS is how you start the year! #LupinIII Between the classic TV special collection, VS Cats Eye and the new Cagliostro dub at the end of last year? I am VERY happy indeed! Plus I want Voltes V for my mecha collection!

God the new Cagliostro dub is so fun. I forgot how genuinely fun Caggy can be when it isn’t just background noise. I hope my own copy arrives soon.

Happy Hogmanay to one and all! May 2026 be a good one! Goodnight everyone! Enjoy yourselves but take it easy!

I just ordered the Bluray steelbook of Cagliostro with the new dub. If all goes according to plan, I should get it by the end of January. Fingers crossed!

How did I just spend two hours watching an Italian TV broadcast of a Montecarlo Circus Festival full of insane stuff? If I can get that VOD? I’m sharing it with as many people as humanly possible.

Can we please stop using the word slop To describe anything other than AI generated shit? If people worked hard on it and people enjoy it, it has value whether you personally enjoy it or not.

Note to self: Reading Captain America’s Winter Soldier arc while listening to 40s jazz is possibly the best idea I ever had.

hand crafted ones contain small stories, be they little narratives that may or may not have any real importance but are still fun to find, or perhaps an environmental tale that nods to how the world works. Such things you do not get with AI. Those just exist, nothing more.

We already reached the limits of this without AI. Procedural generation brought us hundreds of worlds to explore in Starfield and they all just plain sucked. The only worlds worth a damn in the entire game were the hand-crafted ones. Now they can do the same thing by spending untold billions more.

A slightly delayed Merry Christmas to one and all! May we all have a great one. Best wishes to one and all!

Live your life in such a way that your broken jaw isn't the highlight of social media's entire year.

I feel very lucky because these arrived today! AIN is my favourite internet anything in years and I can hardly wait for Series 5 when it happens. Thank you so much to @secondwindgroup.com for all your hard work and I hope you all have a great 2026 when it comes! Now to enjoy these all over again.

The Game Awards themselves? Absolutely meaningless. But between a new Mega Man game (FINALLY YES!), Two new Tomb Raider games, a spiritual successor to KOTOR and the slightly baffling announcement of Total War: 40K? The reveals are worth checking out in the morning.

"I asked chatgpt--" Shut the fuck up. I asked the Lady of the Lake, and she said you are unworthy of the sword Excalibur. You will never be king.

My actual response would probably get me banned from Bluesky. So here's a less strongly worded version. I already can. It's called having a heart and lovely, treasured childhood memories that are mine and mine alone. Now can you do us all a favour and go rot in hell where you belong.

Love you, GKIDS, and know the social media person probably can’t answer, but who’dja get to dub it in English?

I find it odd how some people were describing Digimon Beatbreak as "peak" given were almost 10 episodes in and I cant tell you ANYTHING about the leads. Ghost game I knew the core elements of characters in their introductions and saw them grow from there. Beat dive... nothing. #digimon

Whoa it's almost like this entire cultural movement is based on fake bullshit at every level and our leaders should stop letting fucking social media dictate policy

RIP Bob Caudle. Thank you for everything. You treated the audience with the respect they deserved. Truly one of the greats. #wrestlesky

In the last week I’ve read an obscene amount of comics. The 50 Years of John Stewart collection, IDW Sonic Omnibus 4, Williamson Superman run, The Spirit 80th collection, the Captain Britain: Betsy Braddock mini run and Dan Slott Fantastic Four run 1 to 11.
