Wee bit of history here @qubds.bsky.social! @vyzndr.bsky.social / @hiiragitsukiko.bsky.social / @yreval.bsky.social. Not sure how this became 18 years ago, but here we are!

Wasn't looking, but stumbled across a USB with my honours project and this on it. I was still mostly backing up by CD then. So even if the CD is still here its probably RIP.

I am partially a little sad looking back that I was done just as the scene down South was really powering up. While they were exciting times, I was just done. Doom and AJay did some amazing work.

I wore the white hoodie that came with TTT2 that day. It was definitely a non optimal choice xD. Azza took a picture of all of us, but I guess he the shakes due to post tournament adrenaline.

And Cobel too obviously! xD

@yreval.bsky.social Kind of crazy that its *that* long ago now. I only have contact with Roo and Mike these days. Hope Blag and Liquid are doing well!

100% silly spoon

Thanks to Marc Farrimond for this photo!

A few weekends ago I attended Q-Con Belfast as an attendee. The last time I was an attendee was 2005. But old habits meant I still ended up contributing. I took (most of) the photos for the miniature painting competition this year.

The downside of being off social media for so long is that when you finally have something fun to share, you're just not used to sharing anymore!

Some productive looking bunches of weeds 💪

The incident that kicked this off was on FB. But I'm leaving the Meta sphere of influence since it was so easy for them to refute my identity. If it happened in FB it can happen on Insta or Whatsapp. If they think I'm not me, who do they think is? It's easier to just not deal with it.

Killowen are one of the few Irish Distillers here. Clearly, I have met the high BS standards for community account integrity. Zuck and Elon can't harm me here. My circle of protection is drawn.

The opening of The X-Files in 1993 and the cover of Nineteen Eighty-Four in 1987.

This is Aya, she will be 5 in June. I expect she will be a semi regular fixture here.

I genuinely thought the appeal would solve it. Quite confused that it didn't, but not dwelling on it either. Just moving on!

mr_kyle here, Meta refugee. Apparently Meta do not believe me to be who I say I am. Feels like an X-Files episode.
