Using my vacation somewhat usefully and started reorganizing and cataloging my books today, taking a break - phone vibrates, it's the Folio Society newsletter. Perfect timing. Use of Weapons on May 6th... now I can leave some space. 😘 Can't wait to have the whole Culture series... when? 2032? 🙄

Switching back and forth between Blue Prince and Talos Principal Reawakened is maybe not the best idea. Movement is alone is kinda jarring. Slow and deliberate or might as well be red-shifted. 🥴 But they are both so good. Also Lost Records Tape 2 should be dropping soon-ish(?)… this month is great.

Taking the yearly inventory - no wonder I can't fit any more beer in my fridge. And yes, I know that Kodacolor-X is basically unusable unless I shell out for C22 dev. But I got it with the 50 year old Fuji Neopan SS which works perfectly well btw. ☺️ #analog #35mm #120mm #largeformat #filmphotography

Immensely happy to see more LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS. Don't get me wrong, Secret Level was kinda neat, but this is it, I really don't need more video game stuff. If only they could match the Volume 1 trailer... "aggressive" and "in your face" should be the default vibe for this stuff. #LDR

Two days until Blue Prince and Talos:Reawakened, one week until my 23 'maybe this will keep the burn out at bay for a while!?' days off work, two weeks until my birthday - which will be hopefully uneventful and just another boring day. All things considered this month might suck less than average. 🤞

Love this album more with every track they put out. Can't wait to put on this record, sit down with a glass of whatever I fancy that day, put on my headphones, and give it a listen somewhere near the end of this month. bruitofficial.bandcamp.com/album/the-ag...

Don't think I've ever seen a trailer overstay its welcome as hard as this one. And has it really been almost 12 years since the first MewGenics teaser? Fuck. 🤨 Anyway, didn't think I would see this released. Ever. Added to the #Steam wishlist and now hoping it will be as nice as Issac. 😹

New We Lost the Sea coming in July. Hit that pre-order button so hard. And will probably again once it hits Dunk! 🤣 'A Dance With Death' is great and just what I needed today... but "All strings on ‘The Gloaming’ written, recorded and mixed by Sophie Trudeau" has me more than a little excited. 🙃

Can't say I'm surprised... not really anyway. Sadly this won't change anything about this shitty little 'gaming culture war' grift going on. Most of his flock either won't care or spin it until it sounds positive. The few that do will just move on to the next 'content creator' to get their opinions.

Listened to the whole of #deafheaven LPWP about ten times or so by now... absolutely in love with it. It's no Sunbather but pretty fucking close to it. Probably my AOTY unless something really surprising comes along within the next eight months. Hoping for a EU tour - festivals don't count.

I probably shouldn't have listened to this at the age of 12 or 13. This together with NIN's Broken EP might have damaged my taste in music irreparably. Or did they...?

Poor boo boo. I don't think it's as stressful for him as it is for everyone affected whenever he opens his pie hole. IMHO someone who shows no compassion whatsoever deserves not an iota of pity. Pile it on until he's a sobbing, catatonic, mess in some dark corner and never comes out again. #fuckmusk
