Jupiter and I popped over to Lisbon for 24hrs; Pokémon, Pastel de Nata, photography and an aquarium visit. Had a hoot, although definitely ready for bed!

Should have posted earlier but have been catching up from Gamescom (and celebrations). Received an absolutely amazing (albeit totally ridiculous) birthday present from Jupiter this year: A Pokemon Pinball Machine. Some pictures and my current high score:

Post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet (if you feel like it): Pancake hated that plant, so replaced it.

Pancake with a head cone shaped like a flower. He looks unhappy and is sitting in a plant pot, bending a plant entirely out of shape.

Been seeing the sights from both East and West (Thorpe Bay to Bristol) over the past few days.

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Being spoiled as am now out for another day with Robin, this time helping out for a bit with a school trip to the zoo!

011

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Got along to Robin’s end of term performance for a little club she’s been doing after school. She was playing Matilda in, well, Matilda and was phenomenal. Very proud of her, especially as she’s missed quite a few lessons here and there.

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

It's been another month, so I'm back in print for @debugmag.com #15. Inside you can find my thoughts on: Aethus, Galactic Vault & Modulus. Additionally, I've a nice little two-pager on Pathway, an exceptional title that Robotality should be cracking on with a sequel to.

Debug #15 - Single page review of Modulus.

I’m quite well known for my orange hoodie. For Father’s Day yesterday Jupiter arranged a (matching colour) hoodie with designs from Amelia and Robin on it. I also got some lovely cards from the kiddos - with a tribute to my Beef Pho among them.

010

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Went along to see the new Toy Story with the kiddos. I honestly don’t think they’re ever going to stop making these at this point.

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Also, spotted wild deer (wish I had longer lens with me) and nightmare caterpillars.

Not nightmare caterpillars, these are cows.

Nice Sunday nature walk today, spotted an Egyptian Goose and Mandarin Duck.

Lovely weekend away for the (previously mentioned) anniversary of being a family. Although definitely need a holiday off the back of it!

010

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

This weekend we’re celebrating seven years of being a family unit. It’s amazing how fast time flies, and how much we’ve managed to do in such a short time. Surely the luckiest man alive.

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

Got along to #mcmcomiccon for a couple of days, with Kai, Robin and Jupiter, this weekend. They had an amazing time checking out all the stalls and Leftfield.

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

Movie Crew! (Saw Devil Wears Prada 2 - which felt a lot like Devil Wears Prada 2, 3 and 4, but was good!)

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

Turning to dust today as I took my kids to the 25th anniversary (!?) of Shrek. We evidently only sample the higher art forms.

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

Learning and playing #culdceptbegins (and the translated re-release of the original) today.

010

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

A little change from the usual today as I went along with Robin (the youngest) and her school for a school trip. It was really fun helping out and spending some time exploring with her. Makes me miss the Summer and school breaks more though - not long now!

010

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

Got some lovely flowers through from Jupiter!

Greens and reds and oranges and yellows, I know all the colours but can’t name flowers sorry.

010

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

Went out for food (Kai’s choice) celebrating some great news that he got this week!

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

Trying to take shots of products today and, for whatever reason, Pesto loves the camera.

Caught our resident corvid having a drink this morning.

A magpie, hunched down as it whips its head from a small pot-pond. Water droplets arch from its mouth to the pool.

Just spotted this little chirper in the garden atop the trampoline lining. (Using one of Jupiter's old lenses as she's away.)

A little robin on the orange band at the top of a trampoline.

Movie trip with these goons, saw the Sheep Detective, which was actually a pretty good whodunnit.

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

(Also, sneaky dip to an arcade where I won an extra ball on the Star Wars table… narrowly beating Amelia’s score)

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

Beach Lunch and a quick play around in this suspiciously warm and bright time of year, then off to amusements afterwards.

I never thought I’d be saying this after all the hubbub 7-8 years ago, but today is the first day that Kai will have lived full-full time here, having entirely moved out of his other house. He’d always been in a tricky spot, being the eldest, I’m proud of him for looking out for himself.

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

After far, far too long, we finally got along to see Jupiter’s family. I had an amazing time, this past week, even if it was a little uncanny at times. Very privileged to get to do it in such times - but glad to put names to faces and places.

Couple of days of exploring land, sea (well, lakeside) and air with Jupiter.

Jupiter and I, 2500ft in the air in a hot air

Little explore of the place we’re staying in for now. Everything is vast and detached, but peaceful and easygoing.

My camera was on black & white mode and I didn’t realise until after taking these two shots, but it actually holds up great. Cara travelling a road in front of old, wide-boarded buildings and early 1900s buildings

My camera was on black & white mode and I didn’t realise until after taking these two shots, but it actually holds up great. More old buildings, detached, many windowed, vast sky beyond

A railroad crossing sign, large metal bridge off toward distant wooded forest. Clear sky

Pocket Gamer/Digipals/BigBossBattle/IndieGamePlus car pool for #newgameplus today. Had a hoot, great to see everyone and lovely to see such a strong showing of games.

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Went for a little morning walk yesterday and happened to pass my favourite sculpture (doesn't it look like an inventory gimmick from a game?).

This looks like a ball, torn in two and pulled apart, inside are orbs that look like faces, or items, in five rows.

Close up of some pink blossom, clear blue sky in the background

Close up of one fo the happiest faces on the aforementioned sculpture. Next to it is a ball with a smaller face, it is covered in circles, making it look like some kind of sponge or possibly a pufferfish/sea-mine situation

Narrow shot of violet flowers, a row of trees behind, clear blue sky beyond.

I'm back in print again, this time for Debug #14! Grab a copy to read my reviews of Cairn (@thegamebakers.com), Into The Grid (@flatlinestudios.bsky.social) & Menace (@overhypestudios.bsky.social). Those reviews were joined by an ICYMI feature on @hitpstudio.bsky.social's Schildmaid MX!

One page review, Cairn, opposite an Into The Grid review.

Menace review. I gave it a five star because I'm a sucker for it.

Tulip farm today w Jupiter & the kiddos. Didn’t realise that there were quite so many Tulip varieties!

Lovely, much needed, break (w/ K-BBQ, Gin Mixing, etc) in Cambridge with @jupiterhadley.com

Cocktail arrangement, garnishes, shakers, three different sized glasses and an ice bucket

1984 moment here as I caught my first wild shiny in weeks. Am back on the wagon.

Some photos from a little walk earlier

a trodden muddy path leads through blooming bushes near an industrial unit

A swan swimming near a sign that reads "Man may come and go, but the river goes on"

An abandoned bicycle against a tree, mixture of dead and alive grasses alive and in front. A chalk board saying "I hope you never fit in" off to the left.

I like the angle on this one. River in the foreground, but little enough of it that it shows reflections of the tree, but could just be a lake or pond. Tents are around the largest, foreground tree, while other tree varieties make it look like the edge of a woodland despite blue skies clearly visible behind, inferring a lack of depth.

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

Absolutely lovely feedback from the youngest's producer for the last term. I say it often, but I can't believe how confident and capable my kids are - I was a nervous wreck as a child. So proud of her, and her brother and sister.

Text reads: "Robin is a wonderful performer. She is capable of taking on a variety of different characters with ease, and she always shines when she is on stage. Robin has a super-clear delivery, she uses her voice excellently in her character work and whilst she is singing too, which is fantastic! "

Swapped out my camera, so did some tinkering around with the settings when we popped out in the brief break between rainclouds today.

A gull, from below. You can see through its feathers due to clear sky. Clear blue sky behind.

Just a goose, on one leg, standing about 50cm into a man-made pond. Reeds/brush behind, a block of flats in the distance.

Omg, I happened to go to the same place and with the one I love!

Another amazing PGC London, I was busier than ever but had an amazing time. Wish I could have caught up with more people, but it was non-stop. I didn’t take any pictures, so here’s a picture from the roof of The Barbican and one of Jupiter with the Lumino City blobs instead.

Jupiter Hadley between two orbs. Each orb has digital, sleepy eyes.

It’s tacky, but just like low-light, a little extra ice on the scene really shifts how things look.

My shed is a little tatty, snow makes the distant trees hard to make out.

My frozen pond-pot, the fountain doesn’t work in the ice. A dusting of snow on top.

Snow caught on a web leading up to a weathered bee-box.

Results are concluded for a walking challenge that some of my PoGo group and I took on. Pretty chuffed that I managed 200km+ from Dec 1st to Christmas Eve, especially considering how much time I spend behind the wheel (and at the desk).

209km travelled, 17% of my team which managed 1161km.
