Was "witty, beautiful and depressed," now just the latter.

Occasional writer, often a nerd, living alone with CFS/ME.

Semi-professional #ttrpg muse and not a vampire.

LGBTQ+ folks are welcome and safe, phobes can get in the sea.

Ok, just... when we forget, we look at the poster on the wall, remember?

The poster!

I was introduced to him by Select Magazine, as part of a free cover tape in 1993, and our school year of 14 year olds went mad for him.

It was a weird time.

If you're watching Slow Horses and noticing over the seasons how Standish is becoming more confident and capable in herself, just remember that she's gave birth to the Kwisatz Haderach and is mother to the God Emperor Of The Known Universe.

Come on.

We held our annual #FFXIV Halloween Spooktacular House Party last night, and the standards in the costume contest were just off the charts. I wish we'd had 20 prizes to give out, not just 3.

The quiz went well, only one question that had people stumped and an exciting two horse race for 1st place.

It's a very first world gripe, but with all the actual crap going on in my life I'll hope you'll indulge me this one:

Why on earth are we at the point where a game's bloody hotfix patch, not even a content patch, is TWENTY THREE GIGABYTES?

Mickey's Castle Of Illusion is perhaps my single strongest Megadrive memory, but I've also got fond recollections of John Madden's Football, Populous and, oddly, F22 Interceptor.

The decision to find a kebab is one that comes upon you at the most inconvenient time possible.

The middle of the night. Half past two on a Wednesday afternoon where the only kebab shop is a bus ride away.

Sneak peek of my heartfriend and I's costumes ahead of our FFXIV Halloween Spooptacular House Party. Obviously it's me wearing her Mira costume because she's at work and hasn't had chance to try it on yet.

We'll get it done, done, done.

I was going to reply with "sky's on fire, lads" but then Bsky decided to throw this up and I can't stop giggling.

Unexpectedly spent the morning in hospital from the small hours til now.

I don't recommend it, lads. Though they were very nice and helpful.

Alternatively, you could fall asleep listening to The Magnus Archives like I used to and have a wonderful romantic dream instead...

I've had the Beef Wellington ones, and I can report that they were Not Good.

Honestly, just get yourself a pack of Seabrook's Beefy crisps and you'll be much happier.

Also, you wouldn't have just eaten flavouring containing DRIED TEA LEAVES.
October 24, 2025 at 3:27 PM
I see we're on to "Christmas Nonsense" flavours of crisps for the year then, here on Very Normal Island.

I'll try them later. I don't have high hopes, but I shall report back for science.

I'm not sure about the burger, but these are in the promo too and look good?
October 22, 2025 at 3:37 PM
So, as it turns out, the current McDonalds promotion in the UK is actually grabbing menu items from the franchises around the world and not just making up weird and ridiculous shit.

In which case, I need to ask my Australian friends if they're doing ok?

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness?

I was a fool and bought in to the out of context screencaps of DanDaDan, passing it off as just another sex obsessed Shonen.

Oh, how wrong I was, and how I can't wait for these characters to be back in my life again.

Oddjob was shorter than every other character and therefore difficult to shoot in Goldeneye, giving a player the advantage.

Similarly, in Unreal Tournament, custom skins also altered the size of your hitbox.

In my case, a little smaller. In the stompy Space Marines lads cases, much larger.

Oops.

I thought I had both the RPG the wargame rulebook, but alas it seems only the RPG rules are still with me.

The wargame rules might have gone with @edfortune.com when we moved out, but it's been 15 years, so I've got no clue, sorry.

I can absolutely guarantee this will happen:

Settling down for the 5 hour marathon of cyberpunk anime YOUR FORMA while it's still free to watch on YT.

Immediately sent by this opening image of "The Moon" newspaper as an expy of The Sun.

Ridiculous. Fantastic.

Lalas are delightful. They're also chaos gremlins.

There's no in between.
