Underrated part of the Sydney Sweeney gambling ad is she reassures us the app can't be used to bet on wars, the concept no one had heard of like three years ago

Perfect couple of posts summarising the Wolverine / AAA space.
User @nisei_yoshimi posted on X:

time was if you wanted a wolverine game you called up acclaim or etc and they gave it to some lads from scunthorpe named like Galactic Visions who would code a 6/10 third person action game for PS2 xbox and gamecube in ten months. and it would cost about £500 and a few curries

Follow up post by @nisei_yoahimi: 

developing a 6/10 wolverine game in 2004: uh we thought if we did like tomb raider but a bit of devil may cry combat it'd be well fun innit

developing a 6/10 wolverine game in 2026: the company has my children. I have not left the office in months. Take this note to the authori

One year anniversary of my opening the Google Doc and starting the first page of my manuscript. It’s crazy to think since then it’s been on the desk of editors in all the big publishing houses and imprints. Now did they like it? Mostly no and some pending, but still,

It feels like I’m howling into the winds of social media but I’ve gone and done a comps and tropes list for THEY CRAWLED ACROSS MY BODY. 🐛 #booksky #authorsky #horrorbooks #horrorwriters
An image of a dark jungle with many moths flying around the screen.

The post reads:

Four Books Like THEY CRAWLED ACROSS MY BODY

Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer
The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler
Ascension by Nick Binge
The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling The same image as before, but with a trope list of the following that can be found in these novels and They Crawled Across My Body:

Doomed expedition 
Body horror
Into the incompressible 
Biology and evolution go brrrr
First contact goes wrong
Exploration horror
Uneasy allies

Today I start writing my pop star horror WIP, Siren! 🎤👹 Very exciting to have a new thread to chase after a difficult year and struggling with my last project. I’ll get back to that one day, but Siren’s song was too loud to put off any longer.

Illustrations for my scifi horror novel THEY CRAWLED ACROSS MY BODY. A grieving archaeologist joins an expedition to study an island that has suddenly appeared in the Atlantic — only to discover it’s sentient. An ancient, intelligent organism that doesn’t take kindly to pests. Art by Max Mitenkov.
Expedition 21 walking through a dense, foggy jungle. An android leads the way, while soldiers and scientists follow closely.A minuscule figure of a red headed woman, dancing naked and frantic in front of the a giant tree with brain-like foliage.

4 years in New Jersey, 6 months in California, 4 months in Texas, dozens of trips to New York / PA, and Nevada was neat that one time.

Made the mistake of stepping on the scale for the first time since 2024. Where did this extra 20kg come from? There should be metabolic amnesty for when you’re depressed, deported, and the primary caregiver for a deteriorating parent. Is there an ozempic for that

Very much the same pipeline as hummus and speciality coffees (I’m talking like, a hazelnut latte) having broken containmament of any luxury connotations well over a decade or two ago but you still get some out of touch stragglers. A uniquely UK example: flat screen TVs

Reminded of the boomer LBC caller stuck in the 70s who said they'd rather we attract "the brightest Americans." Just racism. Americans in STEM study and work in America. For decades the best students overwhelmingly come from China and India. And the UK is rapidly less value prop. for the Chinese.

Much like the tired old “they don’t make good movies anymore” the whole “there are no good books (for men) to enjoy” is such a lazy, half-brained sentence that could be dispelled by 15 minutes of browsing the latest releases. I promise. It’s an asinine cop out. You just don’t WANT to read.
