I’d like to create a musical called My Fair Lad.
Like My Fair Lady, but instead of a Cockney girl becoming posh, it’s about training a foreigner to act British: tea etiquette, weather chat, pretending to understand cricket, tutting, and more.
Might be autobiographical.

I've been using my Steam Deck docked and linked to my TV much more than handheld anyway. The Steam Machine is exactly what I need!

I was doing some gameplay design work for a character power based game - and it tickled me that The Lost Vikings, Thomas Was Alone, The Cave, and Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light were all valid references for a specific system.

And there are many other games where you can distribute rightful vengeance on nazis and fascists. Like The Saboteur!

There is a lot to like about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. But punching nazis in the face is my absolute favourite. It just never gets old.

A mate of mine recently was targeted by a very sophisticated AI voice spoofing scam. She almost fell for it too, but was saved by having the presence of mind to ask for their family codeword.
If you do not have one, establish one right away!
Keep it simple but not guessable.

I saw some eye drops on a pharmacy shelf and they inspired me to create some fake products we all need. :)

We all know the clichés of aliens bringing total annihilation one way or another. But where are the stories about aliens visiting Earth to explore strange new cuisine; to seek out new tastes and new flavours; to boldly eat where no alien has eaten before!?

Do you have to watch kids' shows? I recommend genre swapping in your head! Creature Cases is fun and all. But in my head I am imagining each episode as True Detective and that makes it much better. :-)

I couldn't remember the word "churros" the other day so I called them "donut fingers" instead. And the more I think about it, the more accurate I find that description.

Shockingly, the term "power nap" was only coined in 1998.
My theory is that Cornell University social psychologist James B. Maas just wanted to convince his bosses to let him sleep at work. But he ended up rebranding teensy little sleeps into business-lingo by accident.

I didn't realize until just now that direct messages require an age verification here on Bluesky. So whoever messaged me... I'm afraid it'll be a while before I can read that.

I’m deeply honoured and excited to be joining the @baftagames.bsky.social Committee. I’m looking forward to supporting the incredible work BAFTA does to celebrate and support games as an art form.

I truly appreciate when someone shows an interest in gaming and I usually do my best to support them.
But sometimes... sometimes it is hard not to make a joke. And someone saying "Hollow Night Sing Song" instead of Hollow Knight: Silksong is one such moment. :-D

I need to reset the counter. I once again used Genital Jousting as an example to explain to people (who don't know games) how varied and different games actually are.

Hobbit Day is on Monday (22nd September). But I thought I should remind you all in case anyone wants to make a Hobbit Weekend like I will.

I've just recently decided to re-read Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke. What a perfect book to accompany me as we are watching the intriguing news unfold about 3I/ATLAS.
