I’ve obviously pissed off Luke that much he’d rather enjoy the view of the sofa. #LuketheCat

Update from Channel 4:
Channel 4 quote posting their own post. Original post: "Because we did not win the BAFTA for best TV channel ever we have decided to try and claim ITV as ours." Quote post: "Update. The BBC has said they would give us one of their BAFTAs to calm us down."

Well, the Bone Temple has been watched, I’m sat in the cinema and the 28 days later tune is ringing out whilst the credits are running. Feck. It’s going to take some time to process. Lets hope the final one gets funded and gets released.

Completed my second game of the year. Nostalgia was strong with this one. Star Wars Lego II just reminds me of playing with my son on the GameCube and 360.

A couple of cheap pickups. I do love a PS3 game, and Sega Rally is a dupe, but couldn’t leave it in the shop.
The Force Awakens PlayStation 3 game for a bargain price of £1 Sega Rally on the Dreamcast, no front cover though.

Well charging my car at 4am at Maccies after taking the eldest daughter to hospital with a suspected twisted ankle after a night out was not how I planned on spending my new year early morning. #parenting

2 panel comic. First panel: a skeleton robot with an atomic purple exoskeleton stands over a burning wasteland and shouts “KEEP MOVING, HUMAN SWINE!” Panel 2: a bunch of humans shackled together are walking through the apocalypse landscape. One says “I gotta say, that clear purple casing looks so sick.” This is a redraw I did of a comic I drew in my first year of comics! Circa 2022

Yesterday @bootsmcgoot.bsky.social and I saw some techbro giving “30 pieces of advice for people under 30” over on Twitter and it was all grind culture bullshit. As adults of 38 and 43 respectively, we compiled 30 pieces of advice that people under 30 won’t have heard before:
1. Phone calls are usually cheaper after 6pm 2. Read protect your floppy discs to prevent accidental data loss 3. Stop spending all your money on Pogs, they’re this year’s yo-yo. 4. Always label your VHS tapes so you know what’s on them. 5. Can’t afford posters of your favourite band? The splash pages from a recent issue of Smash Hits will look just as good blu-tacked on your wall 6. Unloading your mouse driver is a quick way to free up conventional memory when playing a DOS game 7. Hosting a tupperware party will allow you to meet people in your neighbourhood 8. Always carry a comb at work in case you need to neaten up that side parting at short notice 9. Pop a wheelie on your BMX to impress the older kids 10. Get in the habit of checking at the pump whether your petrol is leaded or unleaded to avoid costly mistakes 11. Rewind multiple tapes at once by threading several onto the same pencil 12. The right blacmange will wow your guests at any dinner party 13. A coax aerial splitter will allow you to watch Sky TV in two rooms at once with just one decoder card 14. You can temporarily pause your tamagotchi by pressing the A and C buttons together. 15. If your recorded programs look fuzzy, adjusting the tracking may improve the picture 16. Make sure you know your home phone number by heart: if you’re stuck in town without change, the operator can always reverse the charges. 17. If your internet connection keeps dropping, the culprit may be a call waiting tone - disable it by adding *70 before your ISP’s number. 18. If the local box office is out of gig tickets, don’t give up. Virgin Megastore may still have some behind the counter. 19. Travelling to East Germany? Apply for a visa at least two months in advance to avoid stress. 20. When sending mail to a new penpal, include an SAE to make receiving a reply more likely 21. If your NES cart fails to load, blowing into it will remove dust from the contacts 22. Ask your mum to hold on to toilet rolls and washing up liquid bottles in case Blue Peter ever repeats the Tracy Island instructions 23. Avoid confusion in the future by filling in your cheque stubs in full at the same time as the cheque 24. Buying a light meter will help you avoid wasting film on shots that just won’t develop properly. 25. Whenever you get a new planner or school diary, write your address inside the front and they’ll be more likely to find their way back to you if lost. 26. When meeting friends in town, agree on a precise place and time to meet in advance. If someone’s late, just wait there and see if they turn up. 27. Carrying a spare lighter, even if you don’t smoke, will allow you to strike up easy conversations at gigs and bars 28. Before heading out on a long car journey, write the road and exit junction numbers as a list - it’ll be easier to refer to than a road atlas. 29. Keep a note of which local shops close over lunchtime so you don’t waste a trip. If you aren’t sure, look them up in the yellow pages - a phone call costs less than a bus trip! 30. Learn your mental arithmetic: you won’t have a calculator with you all the time.

I was made redundant in August from ${dayJob} and then found myself writing a 3D engine for the Spectrum Next team that can be called from C or assembler in z88dk. I'm quite pleased with this.

As I’ve benefited from my eldest daughters Disney+, I’ve finally caught up with Andor Season 2 and Alien Earth. The shows were great and I’ve enjoyed Sydney Chandler’s and Diego Luna’s performances. The stand out alien for me was the Eye Alien. That was creepy as fuck, especially whilst in the 🐑 .
