In ADHD awareness month there has been a lot of discussion around the challenges we face and the impact untreated or undiagnosed ADHD can have. And rightly so. But I think we should also be raising awareness of the benefits and awesomeness an ADHD brain can bring.

Today’s #humpday #haiku is a less silly one, but addresses an important issue that seems to be tearing through the western world right now. I’m UK based. The lack of human empathy saddens me.

Immigrants, go home
Not because I want you to
We don’t deserve you

From Norfolk to Cologne in 24 hours. We made it with all of our belongings, and all set for #Gamescom #ONL

I just want to hear the guy saying “World Premiere” live, don’t care what gets revealed.

Also, please give us a release date for Slay The Spire 2 @megacrit.com

So, Google with their “Do no evil” were the tech heroes. Then they became bad.
MS became heroes of gaming and reason, whilst Apple scammed with $999 monitor stands. Then MS destroyed studios and Apple committed to security and privacy for users. Now Apple kiss Trump’s ring.

Can Valve make phones?

I’m back, and it’s time for another Humpday Haiku.

A Mecha Hitler
Massive layoffs of game devs
The price of AI

Nb. Let me know if you enjoy or dislike topical haiku. Aim is to snapshot my brain, not offend or upset friends 🙂

It’s been a while (I blame the ADHD, just for everything these days!)

Here’s a #humpday #haiku

Peer recognition
Costs nowt, but it means so much
So why’s it so rare?

It’s Wednesday. Time for another #humpday #haiku

Pack away the gloves
Spring is around the corner
Wait, is it snowing?

A day late I’m sorry, but here’s your #humpday #haiku

We have clear blue skies
Forecast is for wind and rain
Great British weather

I launched my very first #DnD campaign as DM last night.

Play of the day came from Alvina the sorcerer who cast Prestidigitation to create a terrible smell, causing a group of guards to keel over, allowing the party to get a good look at the dead body that they were shielding.
No swords required!

It’s Wednesday, which brings us to another #humpday #haiku

Lost in frozen fields?
One key rule of survival
Don’t eat yellow snow

It’s time for another humpday #haiku . This one is in honour of my feline friend who likes to hog the sofa after a day of carnage

Joy in causing pain
Pleasure in destroying things
Ahh, to be a cat

2025 begins, and today I have begun planning my very first D&D campaign as DM. Wish me luck!

Right. Stormlight Archive Book 5 finished.

It was fine I guess.

Words you never want to hear

Here's this week's Hump Day Haiku

Drunk too much coffee
I'm surrounded by people
Oops...soggy trousers

The Black Watch tried to warn us

Some call it the “pile of shame”, but I prefer to see it as my “mound of future conquest”.

About 6 months into the hobby and this is mine. What’s in yours?

Stop what you’re doing and post a gif of your favourite anime.

My wife and I want to spend time watching nice things on Tv for a while, so here’s a fun one for you all to play along.

One movie you’ve never watched but always meant to.

One movie you’ve watched but your SO, bestie, child, favourite cat hasn’t.

One movie you want to watch just because.

It’s Wednesday, so here’s a hump day Haiku for you all

I give you head boops
You can nuzzle my floofage
Don’t scritch the belly

My first ever Warhammer team. I took up the Warhammer 40k hobby, focussed on Kill Team as a very nice entry point.

This is my Veteran Guardsmen - The Death Korps of Krieg.

In the 6 months or so since, I have amassed a pile of shame with Fellgor Ravagers, Pathfinders and Scouts and now Hivestorm!

Does anybody have some good follow recommendations for inspiration for wannabe DnD DMs?
November 6, 2024 at 3:38 PM
Haven't been around the other platforms for a while, hoping this is a new place to share ramblings about fun things without the toxicity. Think happy thoughts!

I'm going to waffle about Warhammer 40k, the Cosmere, Board games, particularly solo games, and Video Games.
