Won a painting competition with this fella this weekend.

Converted from a garden ornament with brass rod legs, plastic components, sculpted additions, kitchen roll for cloth, mod podge gore.

this was so much fun to write and one of my favourite events I've ever been to

can't wait to see it in the flesh. I assume these things are printed on flesh, right?

Official Launch Trailer for The House of Hikmah | Arrives April 8th, 2026 YouTube video by Lunacy Studios

I've wished for Arab-made games about Arab mythology for so long, and despite assisting on the project I still can't believe there's one swinging for the fences this hard. House of Hikmah is something very needed in a time where the world would rather erase us.

an interview transcript reading "Cool. Stunning cock. Thank you very much for your time."

I'm pretty sure my interviewee didn't say this, but now it's all I can hear in the recording

Probably. I wrote 4,000 of the fuckers (words, that is) ages ago. Don't buy this based of whimsy and boots alone. But they're probably in there.

I'm in this. Three times. Some of my favourite words in a while. Words like "whimsy" and "boots"

oh I've already made my mind up not to, it's far too much money. just want to quash any fomo while I'm at it, which you've aided me in doing.

that said, I might go play an old one too

crikey

interesting. honestly was more bothered about missing out on z-a over winds and waves, after arceus iterated in interesting ways.

but the _nostalgia_, Grant. spending an hour kicking pigeons reminds me of kicking pigeons when I didn't have bills or responsibilities

finally got paid a big invoice and very nearly bought a switch 2 off the back of the zelda rumours. I resisted. it's weird missing a generation of pokemon games for the first time since being a kid, but it's nearly 400 quid man. that's so much money

need someone to tell me legends z-a is shite pls

Hello! I'm a painter - if miniatures count

Trans lives are more important than Harry Potter.

JKR is using part of her vast fortune to fund legal cases for women who don’t wish to share space with trans women.
There are thousands of other causes that better protect women which that money could be used for.
If you consume Harry Potter produce, you are helping to fund transphobia.

These sounds have lost all meaning to me

Joe.

I will say I've never queued for a spud of any persuasion, but I was at a Christmas market and my tiktok-pilled pals informed me that we walked past a 'celebrity jacket potato content creator'

he has purple hair and gives you one and a half spuds, apparently, which seems like half a spud too much

A new York times article with the headline: What are jacket potatoes and why are the English waiting hours for them?

unbelievably funny headline

can you predict me some commissions too please diego

Pretty sure that's how Warzone esports started out. If there's no way to host private servers it's too much of a faff to all queue at the exact same time to try to get in the same lobby, so they just do kill races which are not only boring, but completely uncompetitive

Pretty sure that's the holo pattern for Tera ex cards!

also I've found that, while I enjoy building lego kits, I hate doing all the tiny fuckin stickers

Congratulations! Need a replay soon.

oh yeah baby

Terry Pratchett in a blue jacket and Akubra hat holding a young owl for release.

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️
