I'll be honest, I hate this time of year anyway. Mostly because its when my seasonal depression really kicks in the hardest.

But I especially hate fireworks season.

Organised displays? Fine.

Random folks letting off explosions louder than WW2 bombs, night after night? Sod right off.

What's this? Some actual optimism and seeds of hope, in the current political and societal hellscape?

I like it. Maybe we should try this a bit more often. 💖

Heard about the Bruce Springsteen biopic & thought it was about time I properly dive into his music. & given the biopic focuses on the Nebraska album, I figured I'd start here.

I can't remember the last time a record moved me to tears, but this one sure did. Floods of 'em.

Utterly bewitching. 💖

Aww hey, I was on this tour! What a wonderful day it was.

And yes, the video is one of many in the backlog that I'm finally getting round to making and releasing soon xD
One year ago today was “The Sefton Sparkler” tour, giving the 507s a fine farewell on the Northern Line.

Although some 507s continued for another few weeks, this was the final time 507001 moved under its own power… for now.

I was a *huge* NASCAR fan growing up. My old YouTube channel even revolved around it.

Then the playoffs were introduced in 2014, Two years later, I dipped out of the sport altogether.

Over ten years on, & one thing has remained true all this time: the playoffs are still utter garbage.

Revisiting one of my very first and very favourite PS1 games this week.

The fact you play as a female French Resistance fighter in WW2 is powerful enough, but the words of the opening narration still hit so hard.

'What would you do? Surrender? Collaborate? Or *resist*?'

Normally, I'm not a Halloween person at all, and SADs are heavy for me this time of year.

So Reiza Studios decided to make October 31st way more enjoyable this year, by dropping an entire pack from the era of sportscar racing that made me a fan for life.

Trick or treat? This is such a treat. 💖
🔥 Sportscar fans, you're in for a treat tomorrow: The 2005 Endurance content in Automobilista 2 is releasing tomorrow, winding the clock back 20 years!

So I'm going to do something called a 'stream' today...ever heard of them?

It's about time I came back, & in the most appropriate way possible - with a Tea 'n' Trains stream, on the brand new Train Sim World 6 Birmingham-Crewe route!

www.twitch.tv/heyitsajomega - 2pm UK time, see you there <3

Went to a lovely little model railway show in Forest Hill yesterday, and I'm now spending this morning snuggled up with a cuppa tea and one of the books I got at the show.

Happy Sunday 💖☕️

So, I've been awake since 3am, I've walked nearly 8 miles today, and now I'm knackered and my feet are killing me. And my leg hurts where I tripped on an escalator and grazed it on the way home.

Worth it for a day full of trains big *and* small?

Yeah, I'd say so. 🥰

I'm currently on the sofa, with a cup of tea, reading an old railway book, with snooker on the telly in the background.

I'm such an old man at heart. And I absolutely couldn't care less if I tried.

This is bliss. 💖

How many of the top 20 best selling PS1 games have you played?

In my case, less than I expected. But given I'm not into horror or Final Fantasy, & those are about half the list? Less of a surprise.

Gran Turismo & Crash Bandicoot though? My besties. 💖

So, having been on the waiting list since last July, I had my ADHD assessment on Friday.

It was 2.5 hours long, it was intense, but my god, it felt like a lifetime of weight was lifted off my shoulders.

And after a follow-up phone call today, it's official.

I'm combined-type ADHD. 💖

Yep, that's the best thing to do honestly.

Don't give it any credibility or attention. Don't treat it as actual art. Treat it for what it is - a tech demo and marketing exercise.

Just ignore it and let it die. Like a fart in the wind.
I'd bet good money that the $30m is not what the studio will py.

Open AI will probably swallow the comptue/processing costs.

So its a PR puff piece for the tech.

If the world has any sense it will tank. Critics and audiences will hammer it, and the whole thing dies.

So let me get this straight; this AI-generated movie is going to cost the same as a movie made by real people, be written by real people, and use art presumably made by real people to feed the AI-slop generator?

Genuine, serious question - why does this need to exist?
OpenAI confirms they're helping make an AI-generated movie called 'Critterz'

• Goal is to finish production in 9 months
• Budget is ~$30M
• Plan is to debut the film at Canne
• 'Paddington 3' writers penned the script
• Art will be fed into Chat GPT 5 and other image models

So in July 2024, I got myself on the lengthy waiting list for an ADHD assessment, via NHS Right to Choose.

After a gentle nudge on Monday to check the status of my referral, today I got my assessment formally booked in.

I can't quite believe it. It's actually happening.

Heck!! 💖
