Having the kind of week that I can only presume people have just before they do something that warrants a Netflix documentary

Softening the deathly blow of agoraphobia and anxiety in stressful situations by repeating "It's research, I'm Louis Theroux, I'm Louis Theroux" the way Mark Corrigan does in that one Peep Show dance class episode
Just started Spider-Man Remastered (replay) and god, what a stunning intro it has. Straight into the swinging, straight into the whoopin' ass. Incredible game
*Chappell Roan voice* Well what we really need is an agamem-nominon
I'm in a horrible place. Not mentally, just in Hull
Heard a weird noise somewhere in the flat, got up to investigate. Found a quarter of a peg on the kitchen floor. Found another part of it behind the kettle, and another two parts inside a nearby pot. What in the fucking X Files filler episode is that about then
Palworld is a tough game to recommend, but it's not said enough how hard the Tower boss theme goes. Feels like a lost 90's Dream Theater b-side, Korgs all over the shop, absolutely no need for it www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjgb...

Everybody talks about Making Plans for Nigel, but nobody talks about The Mayor of Simpleton, a much better banger www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ciq0...

Needed some I'm Sick Entertainment so I've rewatched Iron Man 1+2, and by god did we have it good back then. Never wanted an Insomniac Iron Man game more in my life (citation needed)
At what age do you stop feeling shame for calling in sick at work, asking for a friend
Just found out that Keith Richards has a cameo as an immortal bloke in the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and that arguably pinpoints the exact moment it all goes to shit for that franchise
My rating of The Odyssey is that me and my partner drove home for a whole hour in existential silence
I've made an album of moody, atmospheric music inspired by cult synth movie soundtracks, presented as the lost score to a doomed sci-fi film. Listen to it, read the track titles, and imagine the movie in your head. Available digitally or physically on cassette tape! 🔗 numinalvoid.bandcamp.com
You ever just get that overwhelming sadness about Robin Williams again
Good news: Four months after downsizing from a house to a flat (that somehow costs more money than the house) I have cleaned the pile of moving shame from my dining room table and prepared it to receive a second pile of shame, also known as "The Seraphon box I started a year ago"!
Why didn't they spell it 'Oddysea' if he was lost at sea?
Thought I'd watch The Devil Wears Prada 2 for a touch of escapism, but an entire team of journalists gets laid off in the first four minutes of the movie
Denshattack has the juice. This could be 2026's Neon White leaderboard scrap if everyone locked in
Honestly love going to the supermarket on a Friday night, man. Nice sunny walk, picking up a bunch of tasty food for the weekend, no tasks on the horizon until Sunday. Joyous. The key to happiness is actually just never taking for granted that you can afford groceries
This match is basically how me and @jordanmiddler.bsky.social ran a website
For sanity reasons I will not be googling where Gus ends up
Today at 10 AM EDT Sotheby's will start the live bidding on its natural history auction featuring one of the largest, most complete skeletons of T. rex ever found. It could fetch $30M+ and go to a private collector. Here's what science--and the public--stand to lose. My story for @wired.com 🧪
Grant me the hubris of the most boring man you know writing op eds at a gaming website
Started a Palworld 1.0 save with my partner, and once again confirmed the three universal truths: death, taxes, and accidentally making the same cute girl character except one has pink hair
hello! do i know anyone with contacts for devs who worked on titanfall 2? would be a huge help for a piece i'm trying to get going 💜
Not the worst week I've ever had - time to remember how to go to work
