Seeing more and more businesses in my town using AI-generated advertising to "save money," which is coincidentally what I'll be doing by never ever buying a single thing from them.

Just enjoying some HILARIOUS content from Based Sony! Did I miss any news, by the way?

FOR TWO DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS YOU CAN PLAY WATCH DOGS 2, ONE OF THE MOST STRAIGHT-UP EXUBERANT AND SNACKABLE OPEN WORLD GAMES EVER MADE SMASH THE STATE WITH AN CUE BALL ON A BUNGEE CORD REFRESHING store.steampowered.com/app/447040/W...

Fitness creator on the Internet: This is 100 calories of chocolate and this is 100 calories of blueberries. See how the pile of blueberries is bigger? Me, furiously taking notes: This searing insight has actually fully changed my life. Thank you.

Day 2 of No Hair and I can safely say that this is the best decision I've made in years. No random bits of hair falling on my face, no random tangles causing pain and discomfort, no wasting time on blowdrying and styling. Absolutely unmatched practicality.

Diving back into full fitness mode after a short heatwave-induced break and needed some serious tunes for today's weights.

A proper Saturday night soundtrack.

Finally went ahead and did it, after wanting to for ages. A massive relief, it has to be said.

YOU CAN REWATCH THE 2019 GLASTONBURY HEADLINE SET ON THE BBC IPLAYER NOW AT www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

My Blu-ray collection has very noticeably not been deleted from my shelf.

Watching a darts player called Fred Krueger and he didn't walk on to this. Very disappointing stuff.

Treating myself to The Good Stuff, this afternoon.

Shout-out to everyone else whose biggest challenge in hot weather is trying to keep alive a dog that seems absolutely determined to find the single hottest spot in the garden and roast itself to death for no reason.

You: Why should the country stop because it's a bit hot outside? I remember back in 1976... Me, approaching you with a comically oversized novelty hammer:

code veronica, despite only being like six hours long, is actually the longest game ever made

Today we say goodbye to Sir Keir Starmer, a weird horrible little freak with no genuine convictions besides cracking down on the left and supporting genocide. He will be missed by literally no-one.

If this film were made today, it’d be about two men from the ‘90s waking up in 2032 and realizing they’re the most liberal people in America.

Just got home from my job as the guy paid to make sure that horrible music is played at blistering volume whenever you're out in public and that it's only ever turned down on the rare occasion that a half decent tune happens to come on. Apparently I'm doing a phenomenal job and I'm getting a raise.

Some uplifting tunes for a lovely Saturday afternoon.

Me watching you play Final Fantasy X: You see when Wakka kicks the Al Bhed Machina in Mushroom Rock Road, here? He broke his toes for real there and they just kept it in the game. True story.

This year is the 50th anniversary of the standalone edition of The Word for World is Forest. This Berkley Medallion edition is from December 1976. Cover art by Richard Powers.

Someone is building Morrowind DS and i'm going to cum

I had one of my wonderful ideas and impulse booked a trip to Edinburgh in August to finally see The Cure live. Been wanting to visit there anyway so bundling it with seeing one of my very favourite and most personally important bands of all-time just makes it all the better.

I'm playing Final Fantasy X, a game that I've put dozens and dozens of hours into over my lifetime but have never finished due to various memory card shenanigans, and I have to say, this is one phenomenal piece of storytelling. I will absolutely be finishing it this time.

The most irritating voice you've ever heard: More like Wokemon, am I right guys?

After one of my more enjoyable work days in a while, I think I've finally figured out the secret: I sit in a room on my own with headphones on and nobody speaks to me.

As someone playing the game for the first time, I'm finding Navi a lot less annoying than Link's rolling noises so they have to make that even worse, if possible. It should sound like he's being electrocuted while falling off a cliff with every roll.

Today's weight-lifting accompaniment.

When regular people in real life ask me if I'm excited about the World Cup, I have to try and remember that they probably aren't talking about darts.

I'm playing Ocarina of Time for the first time and I have to say: This is one exceptional videogame. No nostalgia-blinded rose-tinting going on with this one.

This really is as far as the conversation needs to go.

happy pride

Every once in a while I remember how much I love Keane. Absolutely phenomenal band.

AI is the future and you just have to get on-board or be left behind by the magnificent march of technological progress.

Silent Hill fans:

I went back to my Pokemon Platinum run from a while ago and put in like 20 hours over the last few days. I have zero nostalgia blindness for Gen 4 and I absolutely loved this game. Genuinely sad to say goodbye to it.

I waited a few years after release and got the console for a lower price, which was the style at the time.

Another full day of enjoying live shows and playing Pokemon while trying not to melt for me, I think.

Every so often the YouTube algorithm recommends me a video like “Can you beat Skyrim without using weapons?” Or “Can you beat Super Mario 64 by only jumping?”and I simply sigh to myself that through Christ all things are possible while clicking the “not interested” button

I have been Outside in This Weather for a walk. A very bad idea. Going to mentally write off the next two days and melt into my sofa, figuratively and, quite possibly, literally.

Hoped to get back to streaming tomorrow so of course now is the best time for one of my PC fans to break. The machine still works but sounds like a particularly loud lawnmower. Very cool. Fun times.

Planning to spend the rest of my day the way any self-respecting British person does when it gets a little bit warm: Standing outside making as much noise as possible for no reason.

Can't do anything, these days.

Introduce yourself with ten bands you've seen live: Dir en Grey Metallica Iron Maiden Trivium Depeche Mode Nightmare Cannibal Corpse Opeth Avenged Sevenfold Bad Omens

Pretty sure I'd put this in my top five Maiden tracks of all-time. An absolutely stunning song.

Did one of those music things everyone is doing.

Painfully underrated band.
