My son was upset this afternoon so I asked him if he wanted to help me make smash burgers and squash out his bad feelings a bit. Thus was born Beef Sadness. That made him laugh a lot so I say that's a parenting win.

Watching my son play Pang on the SNES in expert mode and he is determined to beat it. This happens a lot - he picks a random game for yucks and then quickly becomes slightly obsessed and plays until he completes it.

Son has now decided to draw all of the levels from Doom 2 from memory and I have to grade them. Already scarily impressed with his level 1 effort. Glad to see he's inherited my level of obsession over the things he likes.

Reading King Sorrow by Joe Hill at the moment and it's very good; kind of fantasy, kind of horror and highly enjoyable. I fancied doodling the chap himself.

Son has been building the Doom map I loosely designed for him. Of course he's making it 100 times more bonkers.
