Steam Machine is an amazing bit of kit, as I theoretically have access to (almost) my entire PC games library, but I’m just playing hours of American Truck Simulator, while listening to audiobooks, as the novelty of being able to easily play it on the big telly in the lounge just doesn’t wear off.

The eclipse was pretty cool, to be fair.

A nice summer weekend to hopefully tell the heatwaves to fuck off for the rest of the year.
Attending the emergency room after shoving tiny toy cars up my nose.
Shaking my head for the entire eclipse, so people know that I disagree with Griffith's massacre of the Band of the Hawk.
The best joke in The Bear is still the restaurant’s WiFi password being “gofastboatsmojitos”
Sainsbury’s substituted my usual blackcurrant cordial for a Mandalorian and Grogu branded special edition one, so now my morning drink looks like I’m about to chug the T-1000. Modern life is rubbish.

Summertime and the living is hot, just constantly hot and humid and sticky.

Making my WiFi password extremely long and complex, so that suitors to my wife are humiliated by their inability to enter it correctly while I am away waging war against Troy.
And, as always, @clarklebee.bsky.social wraps things up with all the comics-related links you could ever hope to find over the course of a week www.tcj.com/yub-nub-this...

Main objective: speak with a therapist about setting reasonable boundaries with your family, and explore your self worth issues.
Yanda and Yotsuba about to drop the hardest future garage EP of 2011.
Certainly interesting going from an NBA finals that people across oceans were talking about to a World Cup that I've only so far seen Americans talking about.
Would be really interested to know why Pat Cummins and the Australian cricket team get a shout out in the credits of Mixtape.
Spend the weekend indoors, it’s good for what ails you.
And last but by no means least @clarklebee.bsky.social is here once again with a stunning roundup of links from comic sites across the interwebs. Like you were going to do anything with your weekend anyway.
World’s first trillionaire? Fuck off and bend the knee to the OG if you really need to lick boots.
I think my absolute favourite bit of every Summer Game Fest is when they get deep in the weeds with a run of absolute nothing burgers and the presenters have to keep pulling the “you ain’t seen nothing yet, please stick around. PLEASE.”
Getting hands-on with Billy Bat AND the new volume of Yotsuba&! in the same span of weeks is a pretty bonkers confluence of high anticipation, I'll tell you what.
