After a cozy romance to act as a palate cleanser from a dark fantasy trilogy, back into fantasy for the 3rd and final book in Saara's Faebound trilogy. #NewBookDay #SaaraEl-Arifi

Red Dwarf. Really loved the original show when I was younger, though seasons 7 and 8 showed signs of ware. (Chris Barrie not being available for all of season 7, Season 8 feeling notably different with its much bigger cast) Checked out the revival series, but just wasnt as fun as the older stuff.

Ooh, I like this, Kermit as Samuel and Uncle Deadly as Remmick? Miss Piggy trying to play Annie, Mary and Pearline? So she can flirt with Kermit and both of Michaels characters?

Lol, saying for more about yourself there buddy, trying to run straight to claiming racism when your cant debate whats being said...

Matthew 'Dark Star' Haycock @mattdark.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Aww, cant actually counter whats being said, so have to use the club they support to pretend they are wrong. Good lord the delusion is pathetic...

Wierd how you keep contradicting yourself, switching your argument everyone time your disproven...

I notice CNN says 'showing up' to court, rather than being dragged into court, unaware of whats going on, with no lawyer to speak on their behalf, (Thanks to Trump stripping away rights/laws) all while hiding the name of the judge who seems to have no remorse about grilling children and toddlers.

After a dark fantasy trilogy that went bleak in a number of places, switching over to a cozy romance before jumping into a few sequels. #NewBookDay #JossWood

As someone who doesn't watch football, so was never really aware this was something in place, it suddenly explains the number of train trips I've had on a match day, where it felt like half the passengers were going to see a match, with oh so many of them 'warming up' with crates of pre-match booze.

Kemi continuing to do her best to ensure as few people as possible vote for the tories. Honestly, just waiting for the tory vote to tank as the right-wing jump over to reform, at which point she announces she's standing down as party leader and quickly jumps ship to reform.

Oh, I unsurprisingly, already have gaby blocked, probably from some other absolute rubbish she's spewed.

Not that they arent trying, already seen them go from denying fuel prices are worse, to trying to convince people that they will have to 'learn to make sacrifices'... Yeah, something they have already been facing thanks to the rising price of food, imports, ect...

they are still getting a regular blu-ray, but then the 4K release is being held back as a limited run, steel-book edition only. (I know that doesnt affect everyone, but it really bugs me) And then there's all the film soundtracks that are no longer getting cds, mainly digital, with the odd vinyl.

Matthew 'Dark Star' Haycock @mattdark.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Same, getting physical copies of the stuff I really enjoy where possible, though some places are definately making it more difficult/annoying. Like, Disney is already bad enough for a lack of physical releases for TV series (At least in the UK/EU) but now there's a growing pattern with films, where

Richard Tice as well. Oh how quickly the far-reich rushed in to support him, because they think it will trigger the 'woke lefties' by trying to prop up someone who couldn't even say something as simple as genocide is bad, rather than just confirming how sad/revolting we already know they are.

and because its usually a smaller venue, rather than an arena, it feels more intimate/personal and just has a different sort of energy.

Been going to gigs for smaller bands lately, and you really see/feel the difference for a lot of it. Pay a fraction of the price compared to the 'AAA' artists, (to the point that even treating myself to a vip pre-show ticket was still less than half the cost of the 'cheap' tickets for a big band)

negative, which has led to laws, restrictions, ect. Big tech doesnt want to admit there is stuff like tech/social media addiction, because they dont want more rules being enforced on their platforms, where they are reliant on keeping peoples attention for the sake of profit.

even a simple walk through a public area/journey on a train/bus can suddenly feel more stressful because of all the other noise, which music helps drown out, much like how an alcoholic has become reliant on beer to feel 'normal'. Big difference is, stuff like Alcohol or Drug addiction is seen as a

Gotta love that she tries to downplay it by trying to rely on a false comparison with music, despite the fact you could say some people have something close to an addiction to it. I use music to help drown out external noise when out and about, and if ever my mp3 player is out of power, it can make

Matthew 'Dark Star' Haycock @mattdark.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Ironic that she calls it anti-science, in order to ignore the science and studies that have shown media addiction. This just screams "I got paid to defend the corporations under scrutiny for creating an addictive enviroment"

I can kinda see that after weapons, went in blind to that and wasnt sure if the humour was intentional.

Got mine booked for first thing Saturday. While the trailers haven't screamed 'Resi' to me, it really looks intriguing, and I did enjoy weapons, so curious to see how it turns out!

Yeah, assuming (hoping) that's the case.

Funny he mentions Dario, but not Grok, especially after his freinemy Musk was just dealt a blow in court over people using it to make porn of women and children...

Is Disneys difficulty deciding if they'll cancel it after a single season or not?

Sadly, the wrong lessons were learned just a few years later when we had the London bombings in 05. The same types of people used it to vilify/target any and all people that didn't fit their Aryan views, which some people fed on to fuel stuff like Brexit and (re)launch their political ambitions.

Just add that to the list of things he wants us to forget, like the Epstein files, the cost of the ballroom, fuel prices, the Epstein files, the criminal convictions, boasting about having the tallest building in NY after 9/11, the Epstein files... And what else? Oh yeah, the Epstein files!

Its just been one big race between the 2 of them to see who can get rid of all their goodwill first. Microsoft took a large lead the last couple of gens, but Sony just keeps pulling stashes of Nitrous out from somewhere to rapidly close the gap.

There's nothing to sue over, so long as you ignore everything you see...

Even though I have it on PS5, Monster Hunter Wilds is tempting just for having the local multiplayer option.
