As LEGO Store freebies go, this one's pretty nice.

Trying to get a clear view of Mount Rushmore from the car park without actually going in was an oddly authentic experience. The kids kept chanting "Heads heads heads!" As I circled past toll gates, peeking through trees. (American Truck Simulator)

I do like this game. (American Truck Simulator, of course)

The blackout curtains in the kids' room have turned it into a camera obscura. This is the image of the buildings opposite, protected onto the wall. So cool!

Finally getting around to Telling Lies, which has been sitting in my backlog for years. Good game, but the interface is killing me. Also, is this canon?

The combination of an old Digicam and the empty laser tag lobby makes this picture feel haunted, unsettling.

The games industry used to look like this. How far we've strayed from the light.

Had these Mezze 99 Classics as everyday carries for a year. Wonderful cans, deep thumping bass, tinkly treble, decent soundstage--and the detachable cable and futuristic auto-adjusting headband are the icing on the top.

Not exactly modern unless you live in the 1990s, which I happen to.

Ooh, which Sennys do you have? I have a soft spot for Sennheiser for introducing me to decent cans waaay back with the HD212 Pros. PS New Mind Maps on the tenth!

I don't know what Schedule I is, but Steam has tried to get me to buy it more than any other game ever. No thank you.

Time to cash in my Father's Day present.

Just had a tweet on Threads liked by the dude at the bottom. That's a first.

I can almost see my house from here! The irony being that by the time American Truck Sim adds Wisconsin (in . . . 2028?) we'll very likely have moved many states east.

Gyro steering works surprisingly well. I always hated it on the Wii, but some combo of slower driving and assigning a control to engage/turn off the gyro, allowing for resets, really helps. I mean it's no Moza truck wheel, but I can't use *that* for couch truckin'.

Oh hey, you know what else was on British TV when Lynch was working on The Elephant Man? Not that anyone was, oh I don't know, trapped in an endless void or anything.

I'd be gutted to learn that the text that accompanies releases from Selador Records was AI. I know co-owner DJ Dave Seaman has edited a few magazines in his time; honestly their press releases and newsletters feel very much '90s glory days magazine, the kind of thing you'd once have paid to read.

The constant stream of "DEMS GIVE YOUR MONEY TO ILLEGALS" texts have, in the past week, morphed into this kind of thing. Addressed to my mother-in-law, demanding she prove her loyalty and expressing disappointment she hasn't yet.

I love the late '00s breaks sound, and this encapsulates it perfectly. Part bro-step, part glitch-hop, somewhere between Madeon, Adam Freeland and Knife Party, all searing, molar-shaking baselines underscoring the ghosts of electro and rave. Big-time party music. youtu.be/ehyoX27Cvfs?...

We were talking about flying saucers sweets/candy and what the *fuck* is this?

As deep cut references go, it doesn't get much deeper than Ghost Town devs seemingly scanning in my Mum's recipe book shelf.

Surely one of the oldest CDs--or things in general!--I own. One of those timeless, ageless tracks that still beguiles and mystifies. How the *hell* did they make it, much less make it back in 1992. 40 minutes of absolute magic.

Extended American Truck Simulator session reaps its rewards.

Note: Derail Valley is exciting primarily because it was built for VR and you can futz with everything by hand before driving/riding locomotives as if you're actually on them, but also because you get a book of station maps that all look like this:

Dave Seaman's mixes are always full of bangers and this is no exception. Twenty-six years on and it still sounds phenomenal--and of course, the man himself is still going strong with Selador Recordings. What a career.

My Yakuza game has been interrupted for 30 minutes of . . . this?
