TBR well stocked up for winter.

It has blown their wee minds that they can just put a game up on @itch.io and that people will download it and play it. They are always making up tabletop games but this is the first they have put out their in the world. Honestly, among the top moments of fatherly pride.

The kids and I did our first game jam. If anyone wants a fast-paced, trick-taking, social deduction game based on gruseome folklore, you may wish to risk a journey down REDCAP ROAD.

I mean, as far as opening lines go, it's very distracting. Of course I am going to go listen to Liquid Swords before continuing.

Quick! Does anyone know how to fix a CD player that won't accept its own tray?

Well this is heartening to stumble across.

Thank you for the shout out @erikmchatton.bsky.social 🖤

Pizza Lasagna 2.0 — now with a layer of spaghetti carbonara* as well as the 8-hour ragu.

I hope my kids appreciate me following through with their cockamamie culinary fever dreams.

*Obviously not 100% authentic as I suspect that would turn nasty in the oven, but close enough to stay true.

Hungry, Hungry Carnivore has caught something far bigger than its usual prey and I am fascinated by this bug battle.

Sunday morning chilli oil.

As my kiddos have a severe peanut allergy and a hunger for new delicious foods, I'm learning to do everything from scratch. It's awesome.

Been experimenting with soy curing egg yolks. These things are decadent AF.

Ia! Time for CARTOGRAPHY OF LARVAE to shine!

"Ligotti goes to Scotland" - Twitter review

Bleak baroque DIY zines FTW (but also in need of a more permanent edition)

If anyone is going to the Unquiet Shores conference this week, Writers' Bloc will be there on Wednesday with some watery gothic spoken weird & stand-up horror.

Never thought I'd get these through the door.

Not letting their ill-fated journey from 2020 Kickstarter dampen my excitement over such lush editions of my two favourite collections of weird.

@mattmbartlett.bsky.social , @grimscribepress.bsky.social - You are truly dapper chaps to get this sorted!

Really should let them design all our meals

Not quite the originally planned pizza lasagna, but 9yo's two-layer pizza is ludicrously outstanding.

Guess who strayed from the path without considering how fast dusk is settling.

I mean, I believe Alex Sanders and Ol'Dirty Bastard make a good pairing. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who'd group them together.

With sympathies to the delivery folk, a pretty awesome day for getting cool books in the post.

Can I just take a day off work to read?
