James O’Connor @jickle.net · 11/09/2026I know we have litigated this once every three weeks for the last 30 years but it’s a *little* concerning that this critical reception is being widely read and understood as disastrous 2160
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 09/09/2026Free joke concept for whatever satire website wants it: GOG introduces age verification system 5144
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 22/07/2026Working in game dev has given me a much keener sense of how games are made, the processes people undertake, how a design comes together, and so on. But I am playing Denshattack and I truly have no fucking idea how you make a game like this. It rules. 2272
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 05/07/2026Here is my cool physical game - a copy of Wind Waker HD with a smudged signature from Miyamoto on it (the smudge does not matter because obviously I am never selling it) 0180
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 04/07/2026It’s cool how you can just watch Broadcast News any time you want 010
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 28/06/2026Hello party people. @lisavertudaches.bsky.social has released an art print of a nice crab and I think people will like it so I am sharing it here: www.hobbie.ink/store/p/riga... 060
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 27/06/2026Somehow watched two movies with hoofed protagonists in a row 010
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 07/06/2026You’re allowed to post these on a Sunday if the most recent film you watched was an Evangelion 160
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 02/05/2026I was recovering from a bad cold over the last few days so I watched a lot of movies (just outside this last four is Kevin Smith’s The 4:30 Movie, a slightly generous three stars) 160
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 19/04/2026Homer buying the Itchy money. "Eleven-hundred" is the funniest number possible. 1161
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 18/04/2026Trying to organise my viewing so that I have a good top 4 on Saturday morning (I am Jickle87 on there if you would like to be LB pals) 050
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 09/04/2026This interview I'm currently transcribing ended very politely 140
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 03/04/2026Made a pilgrimage to the great Murray Bridge bunyip, always a true delight 050
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 06/03/2026They're saying he has great taste. They're saying that it was easy to just pick 9 games, actually. They're saying he looks like a genius right now for his choices. (my9games.com) 6310
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 14/02/2026Chappell Roan sang a blinding cover of Barracuda and then a few songs later came out carrying this thing. 10/10. 2120
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 08/02/2026I took exactly one photo the entire time, and it’s of my own whiteboard scribblings from a panel I was on about paper prototyping 130
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 01/02/2026I am playing this game very slowly but it is wonderful. The character art is unreal. Look at these guys!! 180
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 31/01/2026Truly great to see Letterboxd highlighting the fantastic Lesbian Space Princess - the first ever full-length animated film made in South Australia - here (also I am on a heater of a film run right now) 060
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 29/01/2026Sounds like he's living a very normal and stable life to me 010
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 22/01/2026The Films Critic Circle of Australia nominations list (if.com.au/fcca-announc...) contains a true jump scare 430
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 17/01/2026Had to watch another movie this morning to get a more interesting four (I had not watched R+J since high school, what a picture) 130
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 31/12/2025I saw 41 new release films in 2025, which is a lower number than I would like. Here is my top 16. Thank you. 150
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 26/12/2025Back to the Future is a holiday movie series, in that they are all about trying to get back home (3.5 is maybe a bit generous for Olive the Other Reindeer but I was blinded by the Michael Stipe cameo and song) 040
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 10/12/2025Did the absolutely vile McDonald's AI ad steal this shot from a proper masterpiece? Who can say. 180
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 03/12/2025This is the one day of the year that you can legally wish me a happy birthday 6170

James O’Connor @jickle.net · 14/11/2025Had to reset the board last night with a guaranteed masterpiece 260
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 31/10/2025If you log into Power Rangers Mighty Force this weekend, my pride and joy - the Pumpkin Rapper event I wrote over *two years ago*, the first one I wrote for the game - is finally running. 2377
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 24/10/2025I have three of these Darkrai EX cards now (also come at me for mystery picks) 030
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 15/10/2025I opened two TCG Pocket packs today and they *both* contained this guy. Pretty good! 050

James O’Connor @jickle.net · 25/09/2025I had to write in my top vote for ABC National's best books of the 21st century so far, which feels like an oversight 0312
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 18/09/2025Quietly sneaked over to Melbourne and went to @acmimuseum.bsky.social last night to check out Game Worlds, which is really wonderful 1241
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 10/09/2025My pack in Pokemon TCG had six cards in it? I don’t think I’ve ever seen this happen before?? 120
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 03/09/2025Today people are sharing an out-of-context paragraph from a review of the new Frankenstein movie to lambast the reviewer for apparently not understanding the source material. This is the *very next* paragraph. 270
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 01/09/2025According to Goodreads, readers of my book also enjoy the incredible Friday Black by the phenomenal Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah (whose novel Chain-Gang All-Stars is probably my favourite book I've read in the last two years), so that's cool 151

James O’Connor @jickle.net · 26/08/2025Truly there is no one doing it quite like @forgottenworlds.bsky.social, this thing is gorgeous (and deeply nostalgic) 3144
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 17/08/2025Strong line-up this week, although I know I am in a minority giving No Country a lowly 4/5 130
James O’Connor @jickle.net · 15/08/2025There is some truth to this but have you considered this sticker of my cat Cherry 020
