you'd better have a good week yourself too (or else 💖)

Happy Monday everyone! We’d love to kick your week off right by introducing you to Rio, who is getting back into multiplayer CoD games with his friends, thanks to the support of our incredible occupational therapists!

Pragmata X Insert Coin

YOUR LUNAR ADVENTURE BEGINS SOON… 🌕

We are proud to announce we’re teaming up with the good folk at Capcom to create a new range for PRAGMATA!

Get ready to hack yourself a new style in the coming weeks…

UPDATE! my local cinema's coming soon listings:

not to self diagnose, but i think i'm f-cking cooked [anime girl running with a heart next to her]

It's genuinely so cool they can do it, but two weeks early is kinda nuts... how long is the run in cinemas going to be? The whole 2 weeks or a few days of showings?

Rip anyone who's job involves social media, I guess 🫠

Oh wait that's meeee 😭

which half? left or right?

TADC, a cuppa tea, and everyone leaving me the fuck alone for 32 minutes 💯✨️

Come on then, how many of you are younger than my Neopet?

excellent tankard game 👌🍺

Unfortunately since posting this video on tiktok just 4 days ago I've bought tickets to my first card show and had to put myself on a pokemon spending freeze until then 🙃

...on the plus-side I have a cute mini-binder on its way to me 😅

idk I’ve seen a bajillion kids movies where the kids parents die & let me tell you, having a convo with my kid about how anyone can die at any time & it doesn’t matter if they’re someone’s mom or dad is way harder than having a convo about how sometimes someone has two dads or whatever. And yet

AHH! I still need to see Wolfwalkers 🤩

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

🔥; pombon, keep your paws down!

Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."
