Attended the Pokemon collab at the Science Museum with some of the road trip gang today!

A fistful of pictures from a recent spooky walk we went on - hadn't yet sorted the photos. Quite a fan of Kai (as a wizard) walking down the moody, overgrown passage... it's a little cursed.

Neon corridor, Pac-Man and arcade doodling on the wall.

Previously mentioned Wizard in a room with a bike - neon paint on the wall shows an alien, letters on christmas-light-style chains, while the UV light lights up a rope tied around his hat.

Starting to edit through the images from yesterday's (incredibly fun) @brilliantindietreasures.com event on the Golden Hinde! Here's a fistful, I'll post again when the rest are up and updated on the site.

Over on B3 we managed to get a pre-release experience piece for the new SWU Set alongside it's launch news, and might just have something in the pipes for another major TCG Also, keep your peepers out on Monday for our thoughts on Paizo's 13 Omens.

It feels like Big Boss Battle is really starting to come into its own lately. I don't know whether it's down to the slightly bigger team and wider coverage or because I'm getting through my backlog and so things seem a little quicker... but I'm always excited to look at the homepage these days.

I did feel like I didn’t understand the character archetypes here, or half the film was cut… but the latter would have bumped the runtime to six hours, so maybe it wasn’t that. Did enjoy it though, but it could have ended much earlier rather than shifting pace and scale so often.

Dann Sullivan @isleofdann.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

We went to see Hope at the cinema, it’s a cautionary tale about checking runtimes before entering the screen. As well as that it’s the second horror film I’ve laughed at in a row now (Resident Evil was the other) - much better than being terrified.

Currently learning BSL alongside Jupiter, we're a good couple of weeks in now and it's really fun. What's really interesting is that I already knew (most) of the fingerspelling but nothing else, while she has, over the years become great at ASL/Pigeon, so we're both approaching it differently.

Should have posted earlier but have been catching up from Gamescom (and celebrations). Received an absolutely amazing (albeit totally ridiculous) birthday present from Jupiter this year: A Pokemon Pinball Machine. Some pictures and my current high score:

Post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet (if you feel like it): Pancake hated that plant, so replaced it.

Got along to Robin’s end of term performance for a little club she’s been doing after school. She was playing Matilda in, well, Matilda and was phenomenal. Very proud of her, especially as she’s missed quite a few lessons here and there.

I’m quite well known for my orange hoodie. For Father’s Day yesterday Jupiter arranged a (matching colour) hoodie with designs from Amelia and Robin on it. I also got some lovely cards from the kiddos - with a tribute to my Beef Pho among them.
