I think The Criterion in St Andrews needs to hire this crow to perch on their sign full-time.

Tonight’s entertainment: Reading a signed copy of Budgie’s biography while listening to his first album as a Banshee.

For some reason I’m finding it very hard to get any work done tonight…

Feeling kinda fungi today, so I took a walk to Maspie Den in Falkland.

If you’re at the Games Day at the Big Real event in Dundee today, find me during the breaks and say hello! (You can also get a chance to play Reforj!)

Reforj looks pretty good on a 9k wraparound screen. I wish everyone could play it on one of these!

My cat is having none of my shit today.

My wee whippet making last minute flight checks before takeoff at Tentsmuir Beach, Scotland.

Nightstand reading: GOTH - A History by Lol Tolhurst, founding member of The Cure. I’m halfway through it and I don’t want it to end. I’ve listened to so many episodes of he and Budgie’s excellent podcast, Curious Creatures, that it’s Lol’s voice reading the book to me in my head.

Took a very chilly walk from Pitlochry to Killiecrankie and Soldier’s Leap, with a detour to the Linn of Tummel.

Anyone that has experienced a Scottish winter knows why I’m relieved to finally see these guys popping up.

I asked my dog if he’d like to go for a wee walk, but he just looked at me like this and I’m pretty sure his answer is “Fuck off.”

My daughter Googled me and apparently their AI thinks me and @crecente.bsky.social are the same person…

✅ Dark hair
✅ Dark skin
✅ Beard
✅ Game Industry
✅ Named Brian

Yup. That checks out. We must be the same dude.

That thing where you go out for a walk along the seaside, but have to turn back because giant hairy cows are blocking the path.

Same spot, a couple days apart. Scottish weather can be fickle.

Sunday’s activities: Gothing it up in creepy old cemeteries and abbey ruins in one of my old stomping grounds. They also built a taco stand. They had a Latino living there for two years, and they build a taco stand AFTER I leave?!? Oh, the indignation…

I used to live in this village, and every time I passed this sign I thought of witch farts. I visited again today and yup, it still makes me smile.

Christmas decorations are stashed away for another year but I can’t bring myself to take down the faerie lights. Scottish winter days are so dreich and dreary, it couldn’t hurt to leave ‘em up til spring, right? I can’t be the only one that does this.

Winter in Scotland. It’s not the cold that gets to you, it’s the darkness. I get to the studio before the sun rises, and it’s gone by the time I leave. However… sunset views like this right on 4J Studios’ doorstep are stunning.
