Might have screwed up here

I'm sleep deprived today so I'm allowed to slack off work and look at expensive big box editions of classic games I can't afford thanks

Feeling nostalgic for the Wii opening menu music of all things

Someone come over here and forceably stop me from spending £130 I don't have on a boxed copy of an ancient video game.

Had a weird dream where I continued to politely refuse an offer of instant coffee (because it's trash) at a social gathering as people got more and more mad at me. Let me just say I've never been more proud of dream me for not giving in and abandoning the true coffee faith.

It's very funny that my brain still somehow ranks lemonade as a d tier drink then the second I actually taste some it revises it to S tier for the time I am drinking it. It then reclassifies it to D tier and the cycle begins again.

I used to worry about making new friends once I became started working from home self employed, but turns out regularly posting garbage here draws other weirdos like moths to a flame.

Not me seeing another YouTuber cover a game I wanted to talk about really well and quietly shelving the project for the foreseeable future.

I'm supposed to be trying to cut back on sugar but also I would really like a smoothie, the duality of man etc etc

All tuckered out

Outraged that I was badgered into running a Pathfinder 2E game and now I am genuinely enjoying prepping stuff for it 😠

Went back to doing my regular exercise routine after being ill for several days and nearly threw up. Anyway I was still right to do it.

'this is the longshan culture, by which I mean the longshan period, by which I mean the longshan horizon, by which I mean 14 different cultures trying to sneak into the video wearing the same trenchcoat'

I swear to God I am never reading anything about the Chinese Late Neolithic again once this video is finished.

Might end up finally watching Majuular's ultima video series if only so that I don't inadvertantly rip stuff he says off whenever I get around to doing something on Ultima myself.

Again asking why it's OK for Uncle Graham to doom scroll right wing racist anti-trans hate speech algorithmic propaganda in to the wee hours but young people have to have their entire social and study support network cut off at the knees.

Randomly decided to look at my Myst video audience analytics and yeah, that 35-44 group makes sense

I'm sick atm so of course I can't rest and just wrote 1500 words of my Riven video for no reason

youtu.be/7MPJY01SO5g New video, this time I explain how well Scotland resisted the Vikings, big thanks to @thehistocrat.bsky.social and KhAnubis for the thumbnail design.

I think I'm gonna start calling European populations and polities "tribes" in my videos the way people do with every group of Africans and see if anybody notices

It was wild re-reading the short story I entered into a contest recently because the pacing of the first 75% is fine and then you hit this point where it just brutally rushes to the climax because I realised I had like 600 words left and a third of the story still to write.

My kingdom for an Ico PC port.

No comment on the quality of the film as I haven't seen it, but I'm not sure what maniac thought they could spend $200 million on a masters of the universe film and somehow make their money back.

Apparently I bought Final Fantasy Type Zero HD in the last week which is appropriate because I have zero recollection of this event.

Sad to report that now that I have a bit of money again I am suffering a relapse into my medical condition (buying little treats)

Spending today being God's strongest soldier (dealing with a little bit of hay fever)

Me when I finally get my second coffee of the day.

Never been as disappointed as when I found out that some of the insanity of The Mystery of the Druids is due to decisions made during the english translation and dubbing, rather than all of it being in the original German.

Researching China's Longshan culture really got a lot easier when I accepted the argument of some archaeologists that its better to just use Longshan as a name for the period, and that rather than one culture there are actually several closely related cultures throughout this time in Northern China.

Almost got caught out by a google adsense phishing email today so anyone who has one of those accounts keep an eye out.

POKEMON GO TO THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

I'm kinda eh on the idea of an Ocarina of Time remake, but the one thing that would actually piss me off is if they decide to make it in the modern BotW/TotK style with weapon degradation etc.

Sad to report that I felt bad about myself all day and then I exercised and now I feel better ☹️

Ok after 3 days of failing around I finally have it straight enough in my head to work with.

In related news I sure do love living in a society where there's a 90% chance that engaging in a popular fad will result in something awful 5-10 years down the line.

POKEMON GO TO THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

The bullying is going well btw.

God I'm really tempted to play Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 just in the hope that my inner contrarian likes it and I end up making a video about it.

I was right on the money with this, they spent two thirds of the session exploring a town I thought they'd stop in for 2 minutes and I had to adlib the entire thing lol

Well this place has officially been around long enough that I only vaguely remember who the first generation of people who randomly got massive followings on here then were gradually outed as creeps and sex pests even were.

Not me hurriedly writing little encounter blurbs right before my pathfinder session for a group who will probably chose to take a different route so I won't get to use them 🙂

My kingdom for a bf to watch wrestling with

Genuinely struggling to put together some sort of chronology of the Longshan period of Northern China for the video thats more than just a vague 'yeah this is a time when big settlements emerged and gradually turned into cities'.

Someone just revealed to me there are massive Lord of the Rings lego sets so if you need me I'll be very happily declaring bankruptcy.

I like how Blue Prince warned me to use a pad of paper to jot down clues and after four hours I have found precisely zero clues. Pretty certain I've missed a bunch of stuff.

Still not sure how I, a borderline asexual person, somehow ended up with a timeline full of horny people

It is new bag of coffee day so if anyone needs me I will be transcending this earthly form.

This ended up doing up about 40 times better than I expected in its first month so thanks to everyone who watched!
