Me and my son just completed SAROS together. Such a fantastic game and there's still a ton of playability to go. Son is now eager for SAROS: Zenith! I think this and Still Wakes The Deep have been my faves I've played this year.

My plan worked: my son is now pretty good at Saros (it took him 3 goes to get to a very good level of play, what is this kid) and he's now helping me out with the bosses. I love that videogames are something that we enjoy a lot together; he really does appreciate them on so many levels.

Jess Bradley @jessbradley.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I've been playing Saros (badly) for the last couple of months and just asked my 10 year old if he wanted a go. Is this a ruse for me to watch him get good at it and help me with the tricky parts? Maybe.

Has anyone used Shmup Creator at all here? My son is obsessed with Gradius at the moment and I've read some good things about it. He's really good with Doom Builder and while he's learning basic coding, he just wants to make a game! It sounds like the kind of thing I would have loved as a kid.

For the last few weeks, we've had a juvenile robin in our garden and I've been going out to feed them and generally sit there while they hop about around me. Yesterday and today, they took food from my hand from our kitchen window. Best. Day. Ever.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

I'm very excited about this! Cowboy Koala, book one of my new three book series, will be out in January 2027! It's a weird west adventure with a whole host of funny characters and critters! Pre-ordering through Waterstones in October will also get you an exclusive sticker sheet!

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

A few weeks back, I made a junk sketchbook out of scrap paper, bags and just random bits I didn't want to throw away. It's been so much fun to work in!

I helped son do a canvas painting of one of his favourite ships from Gradius (plus one of his original characters). He has done an amazing job for a very ambitious first try! I mainly helped with paint mixing and slightly fiddly bits. He wants to do some Earthbound characters next!

Found an old blank canvas in the cellar (from my acrylic painting days) and son wanted to have a go at making something. He chose a very tricky ship from the Gradius games, but we're going slow and having a lot of fun with it!
