For those concerned that all I'm doing this summer is laying on the sofa with a cat and reading, I have also been laying on the sofa with a cat and playing Donkey Kong Bananza.

@louiestowell.bsky.social Consider yourself an influencer because I've picked up these for my class in September. I turned to a random page of Donut Squad and instantly had the giggles, I think this will be a good icebreaker book for my new Y4s.

I was just saying in a reply yesterday how music you forgot about is such a treat to revisit. I can't even remember how I came across it today, but looked up N.E.R.D. and gave their first album a listen. Instantly got chills of nostalgia with the first track, Lapdance.

Predictable as ever, Ironheart gets review bombed. I'm sure all 17k of them watched the whole show.
I can't even be bothered to go out and rate shows I do like, who has the energy to do this for ones they hate? Just...don't watch a show you don't like? Is that hard?

Just finished Caliban's War. I loved her in the TV show but the books have really made Avasarala my favorite character. Jefferson Mays does a great job narrating the audiobook. On to Abbadon's Gate!

I can't understate how satisfying it was to finally take this MOTHERFUCKER down. Down to my very last character. It had a sliver of health, as did I. He was doing his insta-kill move. 163 parries.
I am BUZZING. Hahaha this game is so good.

Hubworld: Aidalon preview decks printed and assembled, hope to squeeze a game or two in the next week.
It's a long wait for the release (Jan 27) but if I can just tempt one of my friends into backing it too that would be great.

I am doing my 2nd Lost rewatch and reminiscing about when it first aired and I ran a Lost fansite. The Internet Archive has the odd snippet but I really wish I could read all the reviews I did.
It did capture my review of the final episode. Including all the comments from the haters :D

So pleased I got this gorgeous Twin Suns playmat for Star Wars Unlimited when it was obviously mis-priced. £15.95 from Chaos Cards! Fair play to them for honouring it. I've spent thousands there over the years so I see it as a loyalty reward 😄

Damn these prestige cards are so good. £25 a booster is very expensive but I like shiny new things.

Pretty happy with how Hera turned out. Got to really get a move on to complete the squad in 2.5 days before my game!

Cute! My cats aren't quite this small any more, but Cinder still likes to come up and demand attention on my desk and doesn't care if I have important work to do!

Ah man, RIP. I got into Twin Peaks very late, when The Return was about to come out, and loved it. Some of the most electrifying TV I've ever watched.

I cannot get enough of Doechii's Denial is a River. Looking forward to exploring the rest of the album. You know, once I can stop playing this on repeat.

After much back and forth on colours (and many mistakes), my first batch of a Tyranid Combat Patrol is done! 18 days to get the rest done but now I've nailed down colours and processes, I think I'll manage.
