I wonder which “fans” misunderstand their franchise of choice the most?
Star Trek
Star Wars
Warhammer 40,000
They all have an incredibly loud and equally stupid contingent that refuses to see the themes and messages of these worlds.

Rewatched Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning and it’s a damn fine film.
It may be a bit bloated and has multiple opening acts but Ethan Hunt is the living manifestation of destiny, you’ve gotta let him cook!

Custodes (Henry Cavills fave Warhammer army) got a glow up last night and finally some female head and body options!
The updated designs are also more in keeping with the classic art for them too. It’s all very cool to see.

X blocking the ability to pay to make Gen AI porn of images in the UK doesn’t solve the problem at all. It is still able to be done as part of the platform’s offering. Your images can still be used to violate you.

That they allowed it, even for a moment,is shameful but at least they’ve seen sense.

San Diego Comic-Con will no longer allow AI 'art' to be displayed at their event
"Material created by AI either partially or wholly, is not allowed in the art show"
This follows backlash from artists after SDCC initially indicated AI-generated work would be permitted

No one I know uses ozempic but if you take a look at the UK papers you’d think everyone is overdosing on it. Why are we so obsessed with weight loss in the UK?

So his Game Awards acceptance speech was pure BS then. Good to know.
Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

There are 242 working days in 2026. If you write just one page a day - just 250-300wds, roughly 5 Bsky posts - you will have two full scripts or a novel by New Years Eve.
If you write just two pages a day - just 500-600 words - you will have five scripts or one epic novel.
Just. Keep. Writing.

I actually had some time today to do my homework for the board game course I’m on + some design work off the back of it too!
Folks, is this what free time is like for everyone else?!

Reboot = Re-doing everything from the beginning.
Legacy Sequel = Continuing the story that ended X number of years ago.

Did some major organising of my board game collection. This is my pile of unplayed shame (not including expansions). Determined to get it down to zero ASAP

The stars aligned tonight. The youngest cuddled up on the sofa with me to watch the first half of Back to the Future while the eldest read the Batgirl omnibus I got her for Christmas. We’ll make nerds of them yet!

I finished The Game Changers by Tim Clare this morning. A delightful read about the power of games throughout history.
The key thing Clare highlights throughout the book is that creating and playing games is human nature. An inherently rewarding activity that is good for mind and body.

All week I have been melting in my in-laws house.
I was thinking that it must cost a small fortune to run the heating 24/7. Then I remembered they have the heating allowance on top of their sizeable pension and investment income.
So why not turn your entire house into a sauna? 🧖 YOLO
