A big TV showing the golf, a tablet on a small table showing snooker, and a relaxed looking black and white cat.

My setup for the evening: Dual-screening snooker and golf with the cat chilling on my lap. Perfection.

APPARENTLY it costs the
NHS over £300,000 a year
to remove foreign objects from
people's rectums. Why aren't we
removing British objects instead?
Was Brexit all for nothing?

The Seance of Blake Manor is so fucking good. Pretty sure I'm going to get to the end without having solved much and immediately restart.

I rented a drum practice room for a couple of hours this week to get some solid time on an acoustic kit. Here's a bit of my attempt at No One Knows (at 80% speed).

People capable of loving some paintings or etchings or whatever can rarely do this without knowing something about the art-ist. Again, the situation is social rather than scientific. Any work of art is one halt of a conversation between two human beings, and it helps a lot to know who is talking at you. Does he or she have a reputation for seriousness, for sincerity? There are virtually no beloved or respected paintings made by persons of whom we know nothing. We can even surmise a lot about the lives of whoever did the paintings in the caves underneath Lascaux, France.
So I dare to suggest that no picture can attract serious attention without a human being attached to it in the viewer's mind. If you are unwilling to attach your name to your pictures, and to say why you hope others might find them rewarding to look at, there goes the ballgame right there. Pictures are famous for their human-ness and not their picture-ness.
There is also the matter of craftsmanship. Real picture lovers like to "play along," so to speak, to look closely at the surface to see how the illusion was created by nothing but an unusual human being, with hands and eyes. If you are unwilling to say how you made your pictures, there goes the ballgame a second time.
Good luck, and love as always

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen As a restaurant owner - I'm astounded at the rate of progress since microwaves were released a few short years ago. Today's microwave can cook a frozen burrito. Tomorrow's microwave will be able to cook an entire Thanksgiving Dinner. Ten years from now a microwave may even be able to run the country. Recently I was watching a livestream of a local microwave salesman.

I have a long-held and thoroughly untested theory that boss fights should be *easier* than the fights preceding them. A bigger health bar, sure, but they should be a celebration of "Look how far you've come! You've taken this massive fucker down with ease!"

GHOST TOWN by @fireproofgames.com is one of the best VR games I've ever played. It's beautiful--a technical marvel--and full of articulate, physical contraptions to solve. But the real draw for me is the story and the atmosphere, which are top notch. Play this.

A black and white cat, lying in a cat bed, staring at the camera with a look of pure malice.

I don't know how long she's been sitting there, and I don't know how long she's been staring at me, but I get the distinct impression that I'm being hunted...
