Shining split screen. Wendy looks at what jack typed, it says "same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was" picture under is Jack torrence with extra wide shoulder pads, looking menacing.

Oh. That's how it works now. 😭

It's a gem of a show. An absolute gem. Perfect pacing, brilliant writing and every character feels real, like they could do an episode exploring the backstory of absolutely anyone and it would make perfect sense to the narrative.

GENUINE CONVERSATIONS I HAD WITH J NASH

(Part 2 of a limited series as I reflect. Internally.)

There's no such thing as "So bad it's good."

I can't NOT try programming a new Pablo. Couple of evenings' work in TIC-80, which has some nice restrictions along the lines of a 42¾ year old computer (you can POKE directly to the screen!) but can be programmed in modern JavaScript.

When You Accidentally Click A Link To X Add this to your X-it strategy

I made a tool to make sure you don't get sucked into a cesspool if you accidentally click on a link to X.

You knew him better than me over recent years, judging by your posts (and as well as anyone could ever truly know him). I hadn't seen him since the mid 90s and we'd each been useless at keeping up the past 8 years. I doubted I'd see him again but there's a finality now... which he'd probably love!

It wasn't, it was his first pen name.

When he became Jonathan Nash, he also changed his handwriting slightly. He committed hard to everything he did. I mentioned it and was impressed that I'd picked up on the lowercase 'a' changing.

You are Morrissey and I claim my five pounds

I believe so. (That issue's also notable for having a cover illustration by Jamie Hewlett, long before Gorillaz.)

Yep. Amstrad Action was great. Same DNA.

Jesus. The problem is she had absolutely no interest in the Spectrum, she was 'just' an editor. Your Sinclair became "By the People, For the People" by the end.

Yes, it made me feel sick. And I may have burnt my bridges somewhat with RG at the time, when I was thinking about approaching them... (My bridges were mere embers at the end, I think.)

We did a couple of 14 hour days. I thought that was normal, being a wide-eyed 18 year old, but he had been pouring everything into YS for the last year of its life.

There's two sorts of people; people for whom he was a favourite writer, and wrong people.
