Money's a lil tight right now so making my services more widely available. Audio editing/mixing/mastering for YouTube, podcasts, albums/EPs, etc. If you want me to write for your website or consult on a piece you're writing yourself, I can do that too. Lemme know if you're interested!

posting is harmless provided you don't take it seriously- the second you start believing you're doing Important Work, that's when the madness takes hold

God, I miss Alasdair Gray so much. I really must visit the archive at some point. Read Lanark. Read 1982, Janine. Read Poor Things. Read Old Men In Love. Read How We Should Rule Ourselves. Read it all. Life-changing stuff.

Usually dread the thought of ever having kids, loathe the possibility that a loud one will be in my vicinity. Then a random baby will start smiling and giggling at me in a cafe and suddenly I go into full Jester Mode to further smiles, while thinking "I would be the World's Greatest Father." Curious

Goddamn. Beyond the prescience of the politics here, as I get older I find myself in absolute awe of people like McKellan—those who have developed such a mastery of their craft, studied and practiced for so many decades. That mastery, that dedication is enough to put a lump in my throat!

Anyway, Microsoft's gaming products are subject to a boycott from the BDS movement, due to Microsoft's ongoing support for the IDF. Bethesda is owned by Microsoft.

⚠️ NEW VIDEO ⚠️ 2025 was another amazing year for indies but there were too many that didn't get anywhere near as much attention as they deserved. Here are 5 of my favourite underrated titles and a montage of 129 upcoming ones, so get your wishlists ready!

I feel like a lot of people are going to use the moment we're in, these new files that have come out that link Epstein to chuds like Moot, to be like "the internet was a mistake and anyone who believed in it was a fool." I would offer an alternative: our enemy, namely capital, is the same as ever.

OBAA is one of the staggeringly few films of this era I think people will actually remember in years to come, Lighthouse is great, Leon could be really good if it weren't for the weird sexualisation of a very young Natalie Portman and Whiplash is bad to watch as a musician

This might just be me being weird but does anyone else think of things as recent, forgetting that they're actually old as fuck? Like I just saw a video reference Viva La Vida by Coldplay. I still think of that as one of their recent songs. It's almost two fucking decades old

Anyway, if you need me to edit your writing/consult on a script, write for your website, do a lil mock review, edit/mix your audio, make some music for something you're working on, my DMs are open and my rates are good.

It is *staggering* how common this is, and pretty depressing how deeply the algorithm seems to favour it. As long as it's got a flashy thumbnail and a title like "Donkey Kong Broke Me." (and optionally a dude on a green screen) it doesn't matter. People can fall asleep to it. Watch time baby

“Let People Enjoy Things,” like “Let People Hate Things,” is a nothing phrase—an abdication of saying anything substantive, dressed up as generosity. Its real function is to discourage any kind of thinking. Critics shouldn't worry about crowd management. CRITICAL ERROR:

Ok I looked at some Highguard footage again. Looks like the most generic fuckin game ever made. Is the reason people are hating on this version of this hugely generic thing literally just that it was the "one more thing" at Geoff's ad show? It was the wrong order of advert?! Pure toddler brain

Fully backed. Creator voices clearly only matter so much. The people actually spending money on the product may be a different story. If you can, let Patreon know how badly decisions like this disrupt the lives of creators, and that they should prioritise those creators before App Store placement.

Game devs have it real hard, critics have it real hard in different ways. The only people who don't have it hard are YouTube commenters. We must unite around this and make it hard for them. Hostile environment for morons
