I've been a big dweeb who's read lots of manga (very legally) online before now, so it feels very special to finally own a complete physical edition to enjoy.
At first I thought Delicious in Dungeon was just an excuse to draw food, but it evolved into one of my favourite stories. Give it a try too!

Tom Lehrer's passing has me thinking about his opinion on satire (and why he backed away from it as a medium).
It's how I feel about a lot of news sites now. Or the floodgates of social media from Bluesky to Tiktok, Instagram to Youtube. Love comedy, but don't know where my voice belongs in it now.

![A quote from Tom Lehrer that reads the following: "I don’t think this kind of thing [satire] has an impact on the unconverted, frankly. It’s not even preaching to the converted; it’s titillating the converted. I think the people who say we need satire often mean, ‘We need satire of them, not of us.’ I’m fond of quoting Peter Cook, who talked about the satirical Berlin cabarets of the ’30s, which did so much to stop the rise of Hitler and prevent the Second World War."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bfuxajutpiaxoyhdow2k5alk/bafkreic4xqr6nz7vzkzehoobubox5ybfjqywfhbqvxcbzbqerpifjwn6yi@jpeg)

I've probably forgotten several places I've visited or stayed at, but I do need to see more of Wales & Scotland.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

My grandad would've been 100 today. Here's him (far left) age 14 in 1939 rocking a rebellious look with his older brother and sister.

Having a terrible Crohn's flare these past two weeks and it's crap.
Thanks to the wonders of smartwatch tech I at least have my feelings supported. On the left is my typical stress level week (blue low stress, shades of orange getting darker for more stress) compared to this week on the right.

Crush your colleague's child shoulder with your many fingered morphing hand. Watch as they grab their thumb stump in desperation whilst one eye painfully becomes a square. Question not the tiny stethoscope becoming a gas mask.

My local GP now has this poster and I just don't understand how such terrible looking generative guff got past so many pairs of eyes for approval.
It cost money to print it and nobody thought "maybe hands shouldn't look like that" and "why are one of our doctors a small child".

It's genuinely surprised me to see takes like this responding to Steve's old PC Zone Sims review.
It's good we've moved past the performative lad aspect of those days in mags, but I think chaotic & funny irreverence still has a place to question wide reaching corporate control of creative spaces.

In honour of the Sims 1 & 2 re-release announced for this week, here are some objective reviews from PC Zone (the very first magazine I wrote for).

Miss both of my cheap old BMWs, but not the maintenance costs, insurance and how they would like to kill me. Very solid drives though, miss the non-race one more than the race one.

Life on Mars, the TV show where a modern day police officer travels back to 1973 and is befuddled by older technology, was filmed in 2005.
Today's Life on Mars would have them travel back to the primitive year of... 1993.

Seeing 38% of kids dropping in two decades to 28% reading regularly is wild. That's close to losing a third of the audience!
In brighter news though magazines, graphic novels & manga are increasing their audience.

Any unusual Christmas traditions in your family? Every year my aunt dresses up the giant toy bear she has (called Alex) for Christmas.
Because so many people would have a peak under his outfits, she then started putting a thong on him to surprise folk.

Time to go electric with the Tango T600 EV. If it sells you on it or puts you off yes that is George Clooney and he owned one.
Sadly it does have a tiny boot though so might be disqualified.

Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden. It's a fever dream of a JRPG that I just can't explain, so I hope an extract of the story will help draw people in.
