With the new release of Hammer’s classic Dracula this week, what better time to pick up issue 1 of @claretzine.bsky.social. With features on all of the Hammer Dracula films. claretzine.com/shop
Playing Elden Ring on the sofa while watching Man United losing on the telly. Very occasionally the future isn’t too bad.
Thinking of that cosmic force that was Maestro JACK KIRBY on what would’ve been his 109th birthday. Thank you for showing us the way, King! @jackkirbymuseum.bsky.social
It's only possible to start worrying about continuity once you have writing so that you can compare multiple versions. Legends of gods and monsters date from well, well before writing. Gods and monsters come from the subconscious of the human race. Writing was invented to manage bureaucracies.
Watching the GTA thing and the guy is getting non stop head shots on all the enemies. It looks so smooth and slick. It will be a very different story when I’m flailing about, missing every shot and failing every mission while crying, and having to listen to the interminable driving dialogue again.
ICYMI I just released WOLF last week. A 3D First Person Shooter for the Game Boy Color! RT to spread the word please. @itch.io -> thalamusdigital.itch.io/wolf-game-bo... #gameBoy #indieDev #retroGaming
What Dolly taught us is that it is in fact possible to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams of avarice but still be a fundamentally good person with a strong moral compass, and the only reason more rich people aren't like that is because they don't want to be.
I saw some amazing 4 colour NES pixel art at the Ai Weiwei exhibition in Manchester yesterday. They didn’t say what game it was from though. I’m guessing something by Konami.

So riding a bike adds extra time to my life, but I have to spend all that extra time riding a bike?
Warren Wells, AICP@warrenjwells.bsky.social · 3w agoAmazing study here. For every hour you ride a bike, you live one extra hour.
There are so many qualifications on this plaque marking Little John’s Grave, I’m starting to doubt whether Robin Hood even existed.
No rich guys have got in touch yet, fyi. If you're a rich guy, you can be first in the list if you're quick 👍
Dan Marshall@danthat.bsky.social · 3w agoIf you're a rich guy who is a fan of point and click adventures please PLEASE get in touch.
We *can* all do something (not spark wildfires, for example). But asking individual citizens to solve systemic problems is peak neo-liberalism. Not watering our gardens isn’t going to fix pipes or build reservoirs. Government needs to do more than ban barbecues and send scary alerts. NOW.
The UK Government will keep granting new oil & gas licenses and won't legislate to restrict the bad practices of utility companies (including water waste). But no sure; it's a family having a BBQ that are the real monsters here 🙄
I finally made it to the Power Up!, a hands-on video gaming exhibition at the Manchester Science & Industry Museum where Plok! is one of the exhibits under the banner "Manchester Made".
This morning listening. Forgot what a great album this was. RIP Mr Orbit.
