iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

My wife ordered a giant bag of flour. Followed it up to our local depot then it just said "undeliverable". Contacted the seller and they said the pictures weren't pretty.

Judging from the colour bleed / atribute clash, I'd bet that originated in a Spectrum

That implies his ears fold down, like car wing mirrors

He's wherever he goes every first weekend of the month - so it's as much the background as the foreground. You'd think someone could make a manky golf club suite background

Did I say Wife, I meant, um, wifi, yes, the picture came from... the... wifi?

The wife's process for creating the thumbnail in Procreate was presumably: * Load the AI generated larger image * Crop * Erase the fence and fill in the chin

Wouldn't surprise me if he thought Fred Jr got the bad genes, meaning Don got the good ones. Like his brother used up the bad ones.

Having trod on many a midnight slug, to be honest I think with socks is worse

@stepickford.bsky.social Do you have the faintest clue what he was saying?

It also would take five minutes (!?) to load in that sequence from tape

pretty sure that last one is one of the cheap Ikea chairs that have followed me around for the last few house moves - pretty sure they'll disintegrate in the same way sooner or later

My computing teacher had a single platter from one of these sat on a shelf, stupidly heavy. We'd pass it round and marvel about how far things had come (and this was long before SD cards existed!)

Like the headcount in Home Alone, only maybe some were penguins.

An *estimated* three people. So they're so sparse nobody could even be bothered to just count them properly. Yeah, there's some people. A bunch. A couple of handfuls?

I got a few front pages and mentions in the newsletter for crap I made, way back when!

I thought it was "hot stuff" from the full monty. Snot stuff? Not Snuff?

If you want creepy, mine sleeps with his eyes open, and you're never quite sure if he's asleep or just silently judging you

Damn those interfering electrical owls in the wires!

Can you hear the recordings it's made?

Richard @benjymous.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I went through the UK top 40, and there was only a single recent song I'd heard played before (Tame Impala, which 6music had on the playlist) Presumably people who only listen to chart music wouldn't recognise much that 6music plays, either

It's going to be overrun with people taking selfies next time it's foggy, isn't it

Blindly assuming that you can just ask the AI to give you progress pictures. There's a reason genai doesn't show you the progress pictures any more, and it's because it looks like boiling insanity, and nothing like anything a human does

But also, weirdly, pushing the metric system like crazy

Love this... (artist: Janis Goodman)

Image shows a drawing by artist Janis Goodman and it shows a huge computer that is plugged into 4 electrical sockets and is guzzling water via a hose attached to 2 taps. There is a woman sat nearby. This drawing is titled "The Data Centre Who Came To Tea"

"drank all the water in the tap" makes far more sense this way around.

I just came across the @japan-cambot.bsky.social account, which posts footage from four random public webcams around Japan every hour. On top of being a nice change of pace to have stuff like this show up on the feed, there is some potential art reference material there too!

That's why they need to reintroduce Kinnect again!

Screengrab of the old infamous Sony "McDonalds!" advertising parent. Drawing of a person stood in front of their sofa with their arms in the air saying "McDonald's!" at a huge tv showing a picture of a burger.

I've never played a Final Fantasy game, but I experienced much of FF7 and FF8 watching a housemate play on his PSX when at university

Only way I can possibly think of is swapping in advertising billboards, or having TV screens playing stuff - point is the game would have to have placeholder advert space in place beforehand, and the player can just move past and ignore
