Greetings, and welcome to the me: I'm a cheeky 31 year-old poly autistic demi-boy (he/they).

I make games with @ppu512.bsky.social and I enjoy annoying people by reading too much into everything. Whatever “fun times” may bring, let it be brought!

“The No.1 highest grossing movie worldwide when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go…”

The implications are loaded. Based on this, ANYTHING could happen to me next year but what I do know is that there will be zero middle ground lol

I will not hear any alternatives.
A drawing submitted to Nintendo Power magazine for a similar “design a Mega Man boss” competition. This one was briefly highlighted in an episode of the Angry Video Game Nerd: Weaseletta and Terror Teddy submitted by Grayson Shuler from Madison, NC, USA. The surprisingly detailed drawing depicts a large stuffed teddy bear (Terror Teddy) with an angry expression, sharp teeth, a blue bow around its neck, blue eye shadow and green stitched-on patches all over its brown fluffy body, each patterned with miscellaneous red shapes such as diamonds, squares and triangles. On its stomach is a TV set depicting its companion, also to the left: a small doll (Weaseletta) with red scruffy hair and two pigtails wearing spiky dark sunglasses. She has a chubby face and scrunched lips. Her limbs are very short. She wears brown shoes with spikes underneath, a simple blue skirt and a pink shirt with grey ruffles at the neck, an orange jacket-o-lantern face and the sleeves torn off past the shoulders. A speech bubble provides a description for both characters, presumably from Grayson Shuler: ‘“I’m not daddy’s little girl. I’m daddy’s MEAN girl!” Dr. wilt’s daughter is a terror! This is especially true when she climbs aboard her robotic toy of destruction, Terror Teddy! “My daddy will always come back for more…and so will I!”’

“To me, to you.”
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer wearing a suit and tie, standing in front of a wooden panel wall with a Union Jack flag hanging on his left side and the Stars and Stripes flag on his right. Starmer is positioned behind a White House lectern with a microphone positioned on top of it. Subtitles below depict him as saying "there's a famous slogan in the United Kingdom"

On the left: Beit Hanoun in North Gaza during the 11th of Defember 2023.

On the right: the exact same city during the 27th of July 2025. Gone.
An aerial shot overlooking a solidly developed city of medium density buildings interpersed with greenery, and to the right a large green area. This is Beit Hanoun in North Gaza on the 11th of December 2023. Aerial footage shows the medium density buildings are now completely levelled and the greenery razed, leaving dusty swathes of grey rubble behind. This is Beit Hanoun in North Gaza on the 27th of July 2025.

I have a name suggestion for the new UK political party from @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social and @zarahsultana.bsky.social

Both images include alt-text.

(Condolences for any lovers of persistent running gags, but I have decided not to support the name, "Party McParty Face"; that boat has sailed)
Part one of text from an email being sent via the Microsoft Outlook app. The email reads as follows: Hello, my name is George. I'm a 31 year-old North-West Londoner and I joined "Your Party" a few days ago after becoming disillusioned with Labour's continued trajectory of alienation and disappointment. One of the most immediately appealing aspects that convinced me to become a donating member of "Your Party" is the promise of democratic contribution in all aspects, including the name, which I am given to believe you are open to suggestions for from members of the public. Seeing no other forum through which to field my own suggestion as a possible option, I have decided to email both Corbyn and Sultana together. In the interest of democracy, I will also be sharing my reasoning on social media via the 'Bonsai Treehouse' handle in the hopes of sparking potential discussion with other people, members and non-members alike. I also hope there is an opportunity in future for all members of "Your Party" to share their ideas and contributions face to face in an open floor setting as well. A new party name is something that has been keeping me up at night as of late, because it must communicate intent, alignment and aspirations in no more than two words, but ideally only just one word. What's more, there are so many possible names that have not only seen use in countries within the UK and around the world, but are also potentially open to misrepresentation and misappropriation even from its own members (for example, the "Reform" party demonstrably does not advocate for anything that even closely resembles what a reasonable empathetic person would consider "reform" in any socio-political sense). Part two of text from an email being sent via the Microsoft Outlook app. The email continues as follows: So that got me thinking: what kind of name could symbolise the unmistakable and firmly cemented goals of radical establishment-shaking upheaval that no willing influential powers today or tomorrow would be capable of twisting into something that it is not, diluting into something softer or eroding until nothing but an empty shell is left? With that all said, here is my suggestion: The STRIKE (STK) Party I believe this name, on the surface level, could serve as a bold and eye-catching contrast to other parties that do not dare to tread much further to the left of the political spectrum and could provide plenty of opportunities for publicity through knowing puns and visual metaphor. Beyond the obvious worker union action that the name would invoke, "Strike" to me feels like it could tap into the current voter mindset that desperately desires to act out against injustices in a political landscape that has deprived them of many democratic options, leaving only a primal base urge in its place that must be directly mindfully, purposefully and with surgical precision. I do not doubt that you have heard many other name suggestions so far, some invoking feelings of hope, solidarity or uncomplicated virtue and while those feelings are very much valued, this kind of imagery I feel has become all too common in modern politics and therefore, as predictable and open to subjective whims as "heritage" or "justice". If there is any name that I believe can openly and confidently embody genuine material action for generations to come, it's "Strike". If you have read this far, thank you. George Cheal

I done made a meme.
James Sunderland, a white clerk with thick greasy blonde hair wearing a green life preserver jacket, holds a long wooden block with nails pressed into it while staring at a window from the inside the ground floor of a small derelict building. The foggy light from outside is further obscured by old newspaper pages plastered to the glass and scrawled onto the paper is a message seemingly written in blood: “There was a goatse here, it’s gone now.” This image has been humorously altered from its original form where the bloody message originally read, “There was a hole here, it’s gone now.”

“There are many kinds of death…and some are better than others.”

#28YearsLater
Hairy, white skinned, cleanly shaven man with blank expression cast in heavy shadow and low orange light, wearing a green vest, the wall is comprised of white wall tiles that give way to plaster six feet up. The man’s look is intended to resemble that of Doctor Kelson from 28 Years Later.

Big news: I am now officially a member of the @ppu512.bsky.social team, and I got the business card to prove it!
The front side of the Pixel Pushers Union 512 business card with the company logo in yellow against a flat red background. The card is inside a plastic case attached to a lanyard. The rear side of the Pixel Pushers Union 513 business card showing the name “George Cheal” with the job title “Dean of Design” followed by the Pixel Pushers email address and @BonsaiTreehouse. The card is inside a plastic case attached to a lanyard.

I got the body horror Jelly Baby.
On the left: a normal jelly baby sweet laid on a black desktop surface. On the right, a mangled mess of sweet chewy candy that comes nowhere close to approximating the mere suggestion of a jelly baby and instead looks more like something that emerged from an explosive accident.

“Traffic is heavy”, you say? Well, jokes on you: I’m taking the train! 🤣
An iOS calendar notification: reminding me about my booked ticket for the Good Game Dev Club meet up at the Stoke Newington Loading Bar: “Traffic is heavy. It will take 39 minutes to get to the Loading Bar.”

I’m convinced this is in reference to Halloween Resurrection when the real Michael Myers gets dissed by Busta Rhymes in a Michael Myers mask…and he walks away from him too, like he really hurt his feelings lol
The real Michael Myers being dissed. Busta Rhymes with a Michael Myers mask doing the dissing.

Hate on ‘Rise of Skywalker’ all you like (and with good reason) but I still unironically love this shot:

Not joking or being cynical, it’s a reminder that history is cyclical and every generation must be prepared to fight these battles, because SOMEONE will always be around to start them.

An email via my inbox from X.com saying that my Twitter archive is ready to download. See if you can figure out what’s wrong with that sentence.

I mention all of that because this thing is apparently being demoed at the Tokyo Game Show this year. You know what it is?

It’s a light gun that automatically detects where an LCD screen is in relation to the sensor on the device to minimise the hassle of manual calibration.
