You've probably never seen a cooking simulator like this! This is William's new game, Food Lab. It is a real simulation of cooking. Check out the trailer. Do wishlist the game too! store.steampowered.com/app/4889000/... #gamdev #game #cooking #simulator

Went out this evening to see The Erotic Secrets of Pompeii at the Railway in Winchester. The supports were really good too, especially Peer Pleasure. A fun evening. #music #livemusic

Can anyone recommend any cool online shops (similar to @presentcorrect.bsky.social ) who sell interesting things? Amazon is basically like Temu now and awash with shit. Etsy is just awful. Thanks!

I wouldn't go to see Oasis if you paid me. Can't think of anything worse than being around all those drunk rowdy blokes.

Just received in the post, this wonderful, in my opinion, album from 2001. This is a reissue from 2025. Lovely downtempo, sort of trip-hop, ambient music with lots of samples. Susumu Yokota "Grinning Cat" Can't wait to play it on the turntable! #vinyl #vinylsky

Hoping to return to printmaking in the next few weeks. I've been refitting our kitchen. Things are finally moving a lot quicker after having a few holdups. #printmaking #diy

I have to modify a kitchen cabinet tomorrow to accommodate a waste pipe and a mains water pipe. It's so frustrating, I want to not have to do that. I want it to be all neat and tidy!

Every time I play vinyl now I have a near transcendental experience. It took me 40 years to get here but now I hear so much subtlety, nuance and timbre with every recording. I'm externally grateful for being able to get to this point and intend to make the most of it. #vinyl #audiophile

The new Green Lung album is good but it's not as good as their previous albums IMO.

Anyone got any recommendations for music with trombones in? It doesn't matter if it's rock, classical, jazz, world music. I'm up for all of it! #trombone #rock #classical #jazz

I will listen to anything and everything. I'm a voracious devourer of music, especially new music. I won't like 99% of what I hear but it's a good hit rate. #music

Is there an AI labelling thing on Bluesky any more?

Is it some kind of holiday in the US? There are no Bandcamp editorials today; annoying.

Just spent about 3 hours trying to connect TV's HDMI output to the soundbar. Factory reset the TV, factory reset the soundbar, tried every setting. It actually connects and says it's connected but no audio. Pah!

#nowspinning Black Country All Stars "Black Country All Stars Fantasy World of Music" A gorgeous album, beautifully recorded. I loved it so much I bought three copies. One to play. One as a backup. And one as a backup to the backup. Sounds stunning! #vinyl #nowplaying

I just finished watching "You, the Living" – the middle of the Living trilogy by Roy Andersson, having watched the other two previously. I found them quite moving. The third film does have some very disturbing bits in it though. But I enjoyed the weirdness, the singing et al. #film #movie

Anyone know how to deselect the current path in Photoshop? There doesn't seem to be a command to do so. It's very annoying. #photoshop

I love seeing all the vinyl and turntables on here but it really triggers me when they are covered in dust and crap.
