Clip - Ulysse 31 - Nono le petit Robot - J'fais du bruit - 1982 - HD

You don’t need a lottery win. I suspect the license is quite affordable for anyone with the budget to do it justice. I was lucky enough to be living in France, home of this cartoon, when it came out. I can still sing along to this classic. Absolute banger. youtu.be/WVIMRFK4Zao?...

This article is deranged - this is a device designed to solve the issue of the fact that your phone camera is often in your pocket so isn’t sufficiently efficient at harvesting data. Really, really obviously it’s that.

Is it “stop looking at the edges of your massive telly” or is there an artistic reason?

Jared Earle @jearle.uk · 27/09/2026

Is it some sort of George Miller-esque technique to make us look in the centre of the frame? A nod to Lucy’s use of analogue photography? Is it done in the camera or is it a digital post-production trick?

I’m watching LUDWIG on iPlayer and I’ve noticed they’re using a weird lens. The edges are blurred in a way that makes it look like a cheap vintage lens, only very expensively. Check out the right hand side of this shot to see the lens distortion. It’s weird and I can’t unsee it.

A scene from the BBC’s Ludwig with a married couple in a stately home. The leaded window on the right shows lens distortion.

Jobs in games aren’t real, in spite of Games Workshop and RPG and video games companies projecting soft power worldwide. Whereas fishing gave us Brexit.

Most Jareds are shit, though. Leto, Loughner, Subway, Kushner … There’s me, Harris and Keeso holding up the good Jareds. It’s a tough battle.

If you get a capybara first, you can use that to get the tiger.

But there’s also Robert Anton-Wilson who wrote the Illuminati Trilogy before all that.

I have the shitty coloured Halo Jones books along with the decent black and white ones, so I’ll buy them again because I’m gullible enough.

I want that big hard cover to go with the Ultimate Watchmen my brother-in-law got me for Xmas one year.

100

I admit I’m a bit of an Alan Moore fanboy, though. I might be biased. I also worked at Forbidden Planet in the late 80s, so my collection is heavily weighted to that era. Example pictured. But it was Halo Jones in @2000ad.bsky.social that made me into the fan I am today.

A selection of Alan Moore comics from the 1980s, including Swamp Thing, V for Vendetta and Watchmen.

Every time Alan Moore wrote a minor or secondary DC hero into a story, he completely changed the way you should look at that character, in a good way. Other British writers did this afterwards, including that bloke who wrote Sandman and Grant Morrison, especially in Morrison’s 26-issue Animal Man.

Anne Billson @annebillson.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Alan Moore revitalised American comics in 1984, two years before he wrote Watchmen. He took over writing Swamp Thing from issue 21 (my copy pictured below) and opened the door for Karen Berger’s British invasion that led to the creation of Vertigo comics.

Reread 1980s thriller in which the story hinges on keeping rogue agents in check by threatening to trigger a New York Times exposé of their unethical activities & occurs to me that no novelist will ever again be able to use this plot point because no one takes the New York Times seriously any more.

And a year later, I was working in Forbidden Planet, Nottingham. It’s such a cliche.

It’s why, for instance, SLA Industries is distinctly British as we were raised on 2000ad while US teams were Marvel/DC. It’s DNA stuff, and not just visually. I’m a product of that. In ‘87, I admired my complete collection of 2000ad before I got on my motorbike to ride to GW’s Eastwood factory.

130

That is acceptable. 2000ad looms large over British hobby culture.

The Dragonborn needs a companion that doesn’t complain about carrying your burden. I mean, we all love Lydia et al, but what you really need is a Kallax voiced by Matt Berry that you summon with a shout of “IKEA!” www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwde...

This is my home river. If you turn left out of the front door to my cottage, you’ll pass a field and then you’ll reach this river. It’s the beginning of the River Ayr and you can walk alongside it on a footpath for twenty five miles, all the way to Ayr on the west coast of Scotland.

If they had worked, we would have willingly ceded responsibility to the robots for driving because they would be demonstrably safer. That’s the nose of the camel in the tent right there. I’m shocked they fucked that step, but … phew.

230

The only way the robots take over is if we willingly hand over governance to them in the name of security. Unfortunately, I can see this happening. Luckily, step one fell flat on its face because of cost-cutting. Step 1 is self-driving cars, but Musk fucked that up by replacing LiDAR with cameras.

I know the trick over the brake lights for my 748 because the lock cable used to fall out of the latch.

I came here you say it’s worse thanks to the different gallons but it looks like you know that. It’s weird!

I use it to stop my Kriega loops from flapping about under the seat.

When I see below average art on new RPGs, I appreciate it as it shows that even with less skill, they chose not to use AI.

The helmet holder on a 748/916 is a piece of wire that loops through a latch under the seat. I had to buy a replacement as mine didn’t come with one. I can’t find a pic, but here’s a pic of the decal with instructions.

Do you want me to start arguing with you about cheese or badgers or something so I can sour you on SLA Industries? I’ll do that for you if you want.

Jared Earle @jearle.uk · 08/09/2026

That’s the right answer.
