Hello Muddah, hello Fadduh.
I've got to hold my hands up and admit that 10cc were class.
What if the Beach Boys were recording Pet Sounds but Brian had just bought a Big Cheese fuzz pedal and wouldn't stop saying "maybe here I could rip a solo" and Mike Love kept singing in a succession of silly voices?
10cc (self-titled)

It still freaks my nut out to this day that "Sing Sing" is the name of an actual prison and not just the way '50s mobsters and wise-guys talk about jail.

Always funny when an article about a left-leaning politician says they plan to actually improve people's lives and then there's immediately a line about how "party moderates" aren't sure about that.

Might be a bit jejune but Being Alive genuinely informed the course of my life about six years ago which led to an (ongoing) five year relationship and a one year old daughter.
Just watched the clip again of Dean Jones from the Pennebaker film, while she ran around her bedroom, and started crying.

Feels so weird to look back at my Letterboxd entries from over 10(!) years ago and wonder what the hell I was thinking.
3 stars for When Harry Met Sally? 3 stars for Dressed To Kill? 3 stars for There Will Be Blood?
Basically any of the 3 star reviews. You're the one that's middling, pal.

Having to do that thing after beating a challenging game where you just sit on the title screen for 10 minutes to let your mind go empty.
Almost had The Doubt about whether I'd be able to do it. Needn't have worried.

Appreciate difficulty is a heated debate which makes me glad I'm amazing at games.
This is for beating the last* Silksong boss while cursed, which meant no charms and no healing.
Plus! I did it once and it glitched so I was invincible. I did it again clean just to be able to gloat wholeheartedly.

Thing to remember about Dragon Quest VII is that it's very long and quite boring. As much a note for myself as anyone else.

Coming to the end of Act 2 in Silksong and I'd tentatively put it above Hollow Knight right now. Saw some criticism of the movement being "stilted" and that's wild. It's so fluid.
Although any of the haters and losers who've expressed issues with platforming/gauntlets, your journey is ending here.

Although I feature prominently in this image as a jump scare, just to say I am not the boy mentioned.

Fortunately had my "that's the one you were struggling with?" moment with Silksong.
Always a worry when you're going through something challenging and fear this is the time you've finally lost a step.

For anyone missing the wall-to-wall coverage/stumbling on oddities of the Olympic Games, I've been turned on to the World Games (live.theworldgames.org) which is an affiliated event made up of sporting federations that haven't made it into the games proper.
Canoe polo? Drone racing? It's here!
