Balatro is hands down one of my favourite games of the last few years. Finally popped one of my best gaming achievements in a while (after 244 hours of game time). Beating Black Deck on Gold Stake was no joke. Now the long slog towards C++. Only 111 jokers and a whole bunch of challenges to go...

I entirely believe that 30+ people were all simultaneously fired for gross misconduct, and they just HAPPENED to be the same 30+ people who were trying to unionise. Yeah, that's definitely what happened. They 100% weren't fired to trying to unionise. Absolutely not. FUCK ROCKSTAR GAMES.

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct. Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I haven't watched much Twitch over the last couple of years. A lot of my former go-to streamers don't really go live anymore (not like that's something I can relate to 👀) and others have outed themselves as assholes. I need new streamers to watch.

In the wake of today's ruling by the UK Supreme Court, I stand side-by-side with my trans friends both here and all over the world. It's a dark and difficult time, but please look after yourselves. Trans rights are human rights.

Update, we've had the lil shrimp (his name is Charlie) for 9 weeks now and he's settling in great. Basically owns the place at this point. Also, currently in a fight to the death with my ISP to get stable internet speeds that can actually allow me to stream again 🤞🤞

Haven't been on the socials much lately, but content *should* be returning soon. Lately I've been spending my time looking after this lil shrimp, who we took in from a rescue three weeks ago and love to bits already.

Fallen behind with my book reading over recent years, beginning to correct that now. Picked up this today, Roddy Doyle has long been a favourite author of mine, all the way back to the Barrytown trilogy.

Given that the temperature dipped into minus numbers this week, it was clearly time for my annual "oh it's got cold, I'll shave my head" moment 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

My first multi-part print (not my model, found on makerworld), a Hunter knife from Destiny. Just waiting on deliveries of the paint and the metal pegs that will help hold it together. Pretty damned happy with it and the picture doesn't do it justice (the camera on my S21 Ultra has seen better days)

In the long run, what has happened in America will make me fight more and fight harder for the society I believe in and to defeat the rise of populist fascism. But for the next few days, imma pack all that away in a corner and play with my new toy
