Can you say it's your twentieth wedding anniversary if you were widowed? Or do you say it would have been our twentieth wedding anniversary today? Either way, twenty years ago today. I miss L.

It's the 4k tier monthly. Plus an extra profile because my daughter is at uni so can't use the family plan.

Fuck me. Just had an email from Netflix email to say my subscription is going up to £27.98. Absolute madness.

If you feel that the remastered version of The Witcher 3 is too bright, you might want to turn bloom off.

Every title has to go. If they don't. Then there's just no point in the Premier League anymore.

I still can't decide on whether to get Ace Combat 8 on PC or console.

The new Ford Car Driving DLC is out for American Truck Simulator today. It adds cars for the first time, and new courier and exploration gameplay. And is less than £7. I imagine I'll be playing this more than the sadly dull Forza Horizon 6.

Share someone who looks stylish posing with or next to a car. There is no cooler photo than this.

Colin Chapman posing sat on the front of a Lotus Esprit, with his private plane behind him.

That, Tomb Raider, and Gran Turismo probably my favourite games of that whole generation. And in my top games.

If attendance at a major women's conference was down 80% due to a boycott fighting against trans *inclusion*, it would be all over the Times, Telegraph, Mail etc. This last weekend, attendance at a major women's conference was down 80% due to a boycott fighting against trans *exclusion*. Crickets.

Given how Carl's relationship with Rachel (aka Mona) proceeds in the books, if they are replacing her with Cordon I may need the mind rubbers/bleach on standby.

I think she was "alt" in the sense of her very modern sound courtesy of her then husband Mutt Lange. That album sounded like Def Leppard goes country. It even had Lange's trademark big back vocals.

I don't Jewel was ever country, more singer songwriter. I was surprised when Shania had hits over here and the songs sounded nothing like the album I had, because I'd got the US version.

So everyone seems to be talking about Choosing Texas. So I've just given it a listen. The most generic slop country song. I managed about 90 seconds of it.

I'm playing the fem-voiced V and find she's ok. But like Fallout I do struggle to escape into gritty RPG settings. I'd rather go somewhere beautiful vistas.

No £111m for me alas. Not that I'd know what to do with it.

So many odd things on the list. And silly omissions such as Battlestar Galactica. The Diplomat is utter toss.

Very strong reviews for Ace Combat 8. I think I'll go for it. I just can't decide between the PC or console version.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

I knew lots of evangelicals at university in the 90s and there was a common issue of media literacy among them. So many had got fixed on the Bible being literal, that they struggled with anything else not being literal, especially with a slight connection to their faith, such as Pride.

Grumpyrocker @grumpyrocker.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I knew someone at uni who loved Pride, and also thought it was about Jesus. I did point out to them that Jesus was not assassinated in Memphis on 4 April.

Maybe our parents were right in the 80s that videogames were just a fad. The whole industry seems to be dying on its arse.

Some of the Xbox reorganisation makes sense. But the layoffs are once again so brutal. I do wonder at the Turn 10/Playground merger. Is there much left at T10 to merge?

The RNLI is the closest you will ever get to actual Batman. When rescue is visibly, viscerally, obviously impossible; when the water is a smothering, thundering black wall and the wind is screaming straight from Hell; when you are absolutely going to die: someone’s hand pulls you out and you don’t.

This Labour government has been a massive disappointment from the off. But its failure to protect the #RNLI has me genuinely seething with anger.

I would love to ask a prominent BBC journalist to give me an example of an illegitimate concern. Is seems to me that it has become a question not of fact, logic, or ethics but of volume. If a big enough proportion of a village was anxious about Bigfoot or Chemtrails, BBC would cover it in a way...

It sounds like heat stroke medicine. But is some daft race that involves using exercise machines along the way.

so real 4 this take, they’re both dumpster fire artists. for anyone who needs yet another reason to hate Ed Sheeran: he also actively harassed his ex Ellie Goulding & even got her blacklisted to the point it borderline killed her career.

I've always disliked Ed Sheeran. Welcome to the club.
