Anything not saved will be lost.

I made a small save point for my upcoming Medieval Fantasy Village Lego MOC, a marker for adventurers/players to visit.

Can’t be too careful with all those rogues, mages, and city guards about, better save just in case!

1 Screenshots from the movie "Blade Runner" (1982): First, a close-up of a futuristic computer screen displaying information about a character named "Roy Batty." The screen includes a blurry photograph of a man in a headband, labeled as a "Replicant (M)" with details such as "NEXUS 6," an inception date of "8 JAN, 2016," and notes about his function and physical/mental level classifications. The image is bathed in a blue neon glow, with a high-tech, dystopian aesthetic.

Lynne Ramsay is a generational -and national- talent and you should go see Die My Love.

Happy Halloween to my mum who would often calm any worries my younger sister had about ghosts with the reassurance that "It's not ghosts you want to be worried about, its murderers climbing in through the window"

One of my favourite cinema experiences tbh.

Went in completely blind to the source material. Massive cinematography. Incredible soundscapes.

Desert power.

After 5 seasons, 51 episodes, and a whole lot of variables along the way, our Fargo rewatch is complete. I can easily say it’s the best TV ive ever watched. Beautifully profound. Staggeringly so.

S3 > S2 > S1 > S5 > S4

I have a *lot* of feelings about it. Ask me about it next time you see me.

The new minifigure factions are great, but even by Creator standards the castle looks quite blocky/unfinished.

Cant wait to see what remixes other AFOLs do with it though!

A screengrab of Tumblr user Gemini Zines's text post reads "i think everyone should make zines. about everything all the time. make a zine about a playlist, about a good sandwich you made, about a cool bug you saw, about a skill you can teach, about a cause you care about. put them everywhere. pin them to community boards and tape them to poles and leave them in cafes and in between library books. i hate how social media has been taken over more than ever now by big greedy corporations and people and has become a mess of churning shit out for the algorithm. zines have no algorithm it is just the love in your heart the passion in your soul whatever your pencil decides to put on paper!! and it's beautiful!! make zines now!"

1 Screenshot from the movie "Taxi Driver" (1976): First, a man in a yellow T-shirt strains to do a pull-up on a bar installed in a doorway, lit by a bare bulb in a cluttered room. The subtitles read, "June 29th. I gotta get in shape now. Too much sitting has ruined my body."

Jun 29th - Travis Bickle wrote in his diary that he's started eating right and exercising regularly.

Drafting the Archaeological Mental Model of Blue Prince Back in January 2023, I ran an online study in which I got participants to play a game about a ruined village and tell me what they thought happened to it. That game was Nothing Beside Remains, a 2…

It's finally done!📝

In this blog post, I apply my theory of an archaeological gameworld mental model to Blue Prince, and argue that half the fun of the game is in what happens off-screen:

Is the Nintendo Switch the best console of its generation – or just the most meaningful to me? For years, the Switch has been ​a companion through life’s changes​, gaming milestones​ and a lifeline to fun in chaotic times

A little sentimentality is forgivable at the end of an era, so here's me saying farewell to the Nintendo Switch, the console that accompanied me through some of the toughest and most rewarding years of my life when I was a new parent

Credits rolled on Blue Prince after 44 in game days racking my brain, solving puzzles, and opening door after door.

Brilliant game.

And I know there’s still more to discover…

The rot at the heart of British culture that allows something like today’s Supreme Court ruling to be made…

Boycott Rowling. Teach your dad about pronouns. Withhold your vote from politicians who don’t vocally support trans rights. Fund trans artists and creators.

TERF Island needs to die.
