Podcaster, gamebook designer, disappointment. Queer. He/him.
Watching Luke Littler play darts is like reading a really good poem about a fast lad who is good at darts.

Stupid Twine project I started to try and get my head back into the interactive fiction game has gone fully mentile. 170 sections and counting. It's also extremely, extremely libellous.

My podcasts will remain audio only because seeing my weird hairy face will only frighten people.

As a humble podcaster, it’s good to see this headline. You feel immense pressure to get on the video pod train, but it’s so fucking expensive to do - which feels like the complete antithesis of what podcasting was supposed to be; a chance for the indies to have a shot.

After being awake from 3am to 7am I finally got some sleep and dreamed that the DUP opened a theme park.

My very lukewarm take on Avatar is that they're cinematic experiences more than narratives. They are designed as spectacle and not a multimedia franchise. It doesn't matter that they aren't very good stories. A theme park ride doesn't need a story to succeed.

Feeling sorry for myself so watching TNA Slammiversary from 2009. Opening match is an absolute banger despite the king of the mountain rules being an incredibly stupid stipulation. Jay Lethal has been an MVP for so long.

Wetransfer has sent me a personalised recap of 2025. Wetransfer. I’m so very tired. What it won’t say is that I stopped using their service at exactly the same time as loads of other people over changes to their terms of service.

If this got more views on YouTube than the actual show, it would make my year.

Christmas reading to go with my special Christmas present of Covid.

My week off lasted several hours before I started working again because writing things no one will ever read is still better than spending time inside my own head.

First mince pie of the season. Will this tip me over into festive good cheer or is that going to have to wait until it's reasonable to start day drinking?

To everyone on Bluesky finding out about Walliams and despairing at the fact that "I read those books to my kids" I just want to reassure them that it's OK. He didn't write them.

I'm not a boxing fan but I would like Jake Paul to suffer some kind of consequences for his phony and underhanded attempts to portray himself as an elite level boxer. I would like one of these awful self-aggrandizing pricks to experience contact with reality and this seems like maybe the time.

The BMA has come out swinging for the rights of all trans people in healthcare settings and beyond - both patients and healthcare providers.

Genuinely brilliant news amongst the bad - please read it and share, and remember that we are NOT alone. Not by a long stretch.

Doing Stand By Me tonight because I've somehow never seen it. It is, as the kids say, a banger. RIP Rob Reiner.
