Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

Sertraline has done me a great good in that I'm slowly beginning to get my brain back and not be weighed down all the time by endless paralyzing anxiety but also it's made it so if anything wakes me up from 3-4 am onward I'm like, fully awake and can't sleep again and that is GRIM AS FUCK

Definitely tempted by the Dandan secret lair because wow that new art is truly sublime, but it's £100 and I do think I'd ultimately get more from building my own personal Dandan list.

2026 gaming backlog #12 - Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES) One of the many NES sequels that shook things up dramatically compared to its predecessor. Interesting, but I don't think I could really say it hits the heights of SMB1 by any stretch. #videogames #retrogaming #mario

Just watching the Chelsea v Newcastle replay and what a soft, whiny team Chelsea were there. The desperation for a penalty, Cucurella shouting for handball when he leathered a ball into the shoulder of a defender from a yard away- they spent more time complaining than playing. #PremierLeague #EPL

New review! 378 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES, 1989, Konami) This week, Ellie looks back on the radical age, joining Leo, Raph, Mikey and Donnie on their journey to defeat the villainous Shredder in an infamously tough NES game. thealmightybacklog.wordpress.com/2026/03/14/t...

I made a video about making art and I'd love it if you gave it a watch!

2026 gaming backlog #11 - Gradius (NES) Also crossed off Gradius today! I've really found myself enjoying shmups recently, and this is one of the all-time classics. A foundational part of the genre, and still a tough but fun challenge. #videogames #gaming #retrogaming

2026 gaming backlog #10 - Contra (NES) One of the most iconic run and gunners of all time, and yet I'd never played it! Still holds up brilliantly; it has the same appeal to me as a good space shmup, learning the stages and dodging bullets with looping leaps. #videogames #retrogaming

Don't make art for anyone else. Don't show it to a single soul. Don't even judge it yourself. Exist inside the process of creation. If the end result is pretty, that's a bonus. But the real result is what happens inside of you, during the creation itself. Embrace that deeply human impulse. Be free.

Go and get some pastels, or some paint, or something - anything. Go put some marks on paper. Move your arm across the page and watch the colour unfold as you do so. Follow in the footsteps of all of human history. Make your own cave paintings. Remember that impulse you had as a child. Let it out.

I'd forgotten the amazing power of just... Drawing. Physically putting marks on paper. Abstractly, emotionally, not for anyone else, not to be 'good art', but just for you. Like a child does. It's so good for you, guys. It's so good for the brain.

What an absolutely remarkable thread 😂

As part of EDHREC's ongoing Community Corner series, I interviewed accessibility advocate Alexander Nathan about how disability and Magic intersect. Check it out below. edhrec.com/articles/not... #MagicTheGathering #EDH #MTG

An absolute MARATHON 3 hour game - that was peak Bracket 2 magic 😅 Aragorn finally scraped the win after a game that saw everyone fluctuate into the threat position, but especially the Tidus precon - that deck floored me, it's SO GOOD! Tonight's deck: moxfield.com/decks/wisWfM...

#MagicTheGathering with Friends! It's a Universes Beyond fight tonight! Aragorn leads the Free Peoples vs. Tidus counters, Cloud swords, and Arcade/Susan multiversal legends! starring Jason, @whitetiger89.bsky.social @chronomagistrate.bsky.social B2-ish?

I think one of the tough nuts to crack with brackets is that there's an asymmetry when it comes to how people perceive the format. Some of this is just delusion (like when cEDH players assume they're a much larger percentage of the population than they actually are) but some of it...

We're setting up a stream on Twitch this Sunday! If all goes to plan, Flint will be live playing games and making a space for those who struggle with mothers day and might need a break Things are still in the works but interact with this post if you'd appreciate that 🙌

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Always a joy to play against my dear friends, though that was Venom's least successful outing so far I think. missed land drops early and then by the time a board happened I just couldn't keep up with the other decks 😭 ah well, there's always next time tonight's deck: moxfield.com/decks/PYeMDD...

Watch it RIGHT NOW AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA www.twitch.tv/warroomedh

#MTG with Friends! It's a stream game, woah now! Venom's Kamigawa lunch is up vs. Noctis FCA set.dec, Rex Nebula Beige Alert.dec and Anti-Venom life loss denied.dec! starring @warroomedh.bsky.social and @chronomagistrate.bsky.social hosted via @girudo.bsky.social B2

2026 gaming backlog #9 - Gato Roboto (PC) A charming, short metroidvania. Does the basics well, and introducing different things for Kiki to drive aside from her main mechsuit helped keep things fresh. Mild challenge at times, but mostly chill + easy. #videogames #indiegame #metroidvania

Been very, very behind on writing my reviews for the blog due to depression and illness (after illness, after illness, after...) but *finally* got last week's review done, ready for upload today. now to start work on writing TMNT for this week though...

One year ago today, we started WUBRG Sky! Thanks to everyone who has made it a special place to geek out and be yourself! We're at 294 members and always growing! Let's see if we can make it 300 today!

Be me, playing Pokopia.

The biggest and most prolific MTG creators all engage in manufactured and monetized discontent rather than promoting healthy ways to engage with the hobby. In doing so, they build a cycle of blame and complaints, which social media amplifies and encourages punters to echo, actively making MTG worse.

@optaanalyst.optajoe.com have given Wolves a 99% chance of relegation, Burnley 99%, West Ham 53% and Forest 30%. 16th-placed Spurs have just an 8% chance of relegation, but their form is dire. To dare is to do, Spurs. There's never been a better time to defy the odds and go down 😆

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

I've known writers who use subtext and none of them can block warriors. commandersherald.com/trans-magic-...

You know a game's struck a chord when it refuses to leave your head. Spent the whole walk to and from dropping my smol off at nursery thinking about it. Incredible, privileged to get a perspective that I have never had. More important than ever that people experience these kinds of narratives now.

2026 gaming backlog #8 - Venba (PC) A heartbreaking narrative puzzle game that uses cooking sections to underscore a powerful story about immigration and parenthood. Absolutely beautiful. #indiegame #videogames

They're like normal wills but they take four times as long and the solicitor does a lute solo in the middle.

SSRI brain fog is so unbelievably hard to navigate. Every time I sit down I feel like my mind leaks out of my head and I realise I've spent all my time just blank and staring. Non-functioning. Empty.

I will die for this bird (because it will kill me) HE SO ANGYYYYYYYYY IT'S ADORABLE AAAAA💜😍

New review! 376 - Blasphemous (PC, 2019, @thegamekitchen.com / @team17.com) This week Ellie immerses herself in the grim, gore-soaked world of Cvstodia and joins the Penitent One on his journey to bring an end to the Grievous Miracle. thealmightybacklog.wordpress.com/2026/02/27/b... #videogames

Ecstatic that the Green Party scored a win in yesterday's by-election. It's one thing to have vocal support but that it turned into tangible votes and a seat in Parliament is proof that Labour's far-right pandering is driving voters to a real, alternative, and progressive choice.

Pokemon TCG for me. I was very young, there in the very first wave of the game but like a lot of kids didn't see value in them after a while and probably sold them all for a pittance at a car boot sale.

Streaming was a bust due to technical difficulties, so I introduced @sianclare.bsky.social to Vampire Survivors instead 😅
