34, Bi, Northern, Autistic as fuck, mate.

Used to spin a roulette wheel and yap nonsense for a living. Now play Pokémon and yap nonsense for a living.

Will still deal roulette in exchange for chocolate.
It might be the day after Halloween, but I'm still gonna use it as an excuse to post pictures of my black cat.

He is my absolute world. He found us 2 1/2 years ago after living on the streets for a few years. I am SO glad he gained the confidence to jump through the window.

I have a MOUNTAIN of editing and voiceovers to do today, and there is only one thing that can get me through - blasting Cuban Boys and Spray through my headphones at unhealthy volumes.

This is, and forever will be, one of my favourite songs of all time: youtu.be/rNTRQhW8te0

I don't usually cross-post my work stuff on here, but I know a lot of people like Pokémon!

Also, if you're here from my channel, enjoy my face but tell *nobody* I have one!
If you're a friend of Malamar and want to play with it in Pokémon Crystal, I've added it to the backports section of my website: trainersquidgy.com/wiki/Crystal...

Just talk to Professor Elm's Desk, and you can set one of your starters to be Malamar!

If you see this, QTP with a title screen that's iconic to you!

I put Inkay and Malamar into Pokémon Crystal.

I can't sleep, so here's a video of a cat chasing a roulette ball round the wheel on TV.

If you see this, QTP with a Pokémon that shares the same first letter as your name!

It's a bug that's also a bus! What's not to love?

I dunno about anyone else, but I've always found that I want to post and engage more with people on here, but I'm always too anxious that I don't have owt to say.

So I'm saying "fuck it", I'm just gonna start using BlueSky how I used to use Twitter - as a place to share inane thoughts.

What the effing crap is this on my Bluesky feed?

I came here to escape the conspiracy bullshit that's left over on the other site!

I am totally getting the absolutely not Granada logo t-shirt!
New tour merch has arrived at the Spray Warehouse, Archive and Visitor's Centre! Including the *all-new* bright orange Failure Is Inevitable.

Get yours on the Spray October dates, snd.click/@sprayontour

I'm certain most of it's wrong, but here's what I think I heard:

[Verse]
Space age, Hovercraft, Laser Rays, Jetpacks
Ohhhh
Bright nylon chiff socks, space age disco balls.
Ohhhh

[Chorus]
It's the future, the future, the future, the future.
We live in the future, the future, the future, the future.
I'm not gonna lie, with the way the vocals were placed in the mix, combined with some pretty interesting word choices, it took an age. Then I found it.

The video which made me cry with joy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNTR...

A LIVE version of my all-time favourite song! I didn't care if it was short!

I'm going to see @spraypopmusic.com in 6 weeks' time, and so I've been thinking about my journey as to how I discovered them! It is as ridiculously convoluted as most of the rest of the things in my life.

Before I tell it though, if you haven't heard their music, go here: linktr.ee/spraypopmusic

I've always avoided going to live music events because of my 'tism and anxiety, but earlier this year I (re)discovered @spraypopmusic.com and saw they're playing locally in October, so I've just bought tickets.

I'm equal parts excited and terrified! I'm sure I'll have a blast though!

Experimental post: Untruthful Mario Boxes
Occasionally, box art of Mario-related games will be misleading about the number of levels a game has. I list three examples in ascending order of "fraudulence", alongside equivalent statements if these were real estate ads.

I absolutely adore programmes like this - just a slice of real life from a bygone era, with no editing, no commentary, just conversations from three hairdressers in Blackpool in 1994.

I'd LOVE to find more programmes like this: youtu.be/aUIr-UB7eEQ

I'm not sure if it's an autism thing, but I just cannot handle the final episode of anything. Once I know a finale's coming, I'll stop watching, then rewatch up to the penultimate episode a few months later.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but does anyone else autistic do this too?

I really wish I could feel happy about this, because it's truly inspiring to see people raise money for good causes.

However, the way I was treated by Mencap when I was a "Mencap Ambassador" means it's always going to be bittersweet to see them getting praised.

They actively hindered my chances.
We’re overwhelmed by all the generous donations from Traitors fans after hearing Alexander Dragonetti’s story! 🎉

You’d wanted to know how much has been raised...

I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like this, but I'd love to get to know new people and make new friends on a place like here, but I find it hard because I never feel like I have anything worth saying.

Anyway, I'm Callum and I enjoy Pokémon, Eurovision, meteorology, and I'm also a croupier.

It's been a very fun nostalgia trip over the last few weeks writing the Twitch Bot.

Even with all their faults, I genuinely think that the live TV landscape is significantly worse without the quiz channels.

I'll always have a soft spot for them, and my sense of humour was shaped by them.

The Quiz Lounge bot is heavily inspired by the call in quiz shows of the mid 2000s like Quiz Call, Quizmania, and Quiz TV.

At the moment, we have 17 different puzzle types ranging from Word Towers, to logic games, to Word Grids.

If you want to play, visit twitch.tv/TheQuizLounge!
