And it’s also why it’s so hard to make others even notice the problem. “How do you communicate to other people that there’s a problem when the results of that problem are invisible? What do you point to as evidence when what you’re trying to point to is, by definition, just a lack?”

This is the exact phenomenon that creates the sense of “conspicuous missingness” (at least for those sensitive to these things) that I talk about in regards to the video games scene in my video What Is the Games Industry Missing? youtu.be/9JbfFYUVR-U?...

I was absolutely giddy all day. Of course I got picked on by the tour guide (who told me I played along so well I’d “make a great actor one day”, I wonder if he’s a fan of the channel 😂), another one asked me if there was a reason I seemed “so excited”. Fucking yeah man. I’m in the Tower of London

If I had to guess how it started, I will admit that the embarrassing reason is probably this Goosebumps I read when I was like 9 years old. Definitely one of my top 5 Goosebumps books (some others would be Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb and Beast From the East, not that anybody asked).

I’ve had a weird fascination with medieval crime & punishment ever since I was a kid. When people used to ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up I remember my (very cool and normal) answer being I wanted to be a jailer. The Tower of London always held a special interest for me.

This was always going to be one of my top days out on this trip. I spent five hours at the Tower of London today and it absolutely ruled. There are towers. There are friendly ravens. There are horrific instruments of torture

When you said fur suit I was picturing like a two-piece suit made of fur. Which would also be something to behold

I read an entire 600 page novel and there was even anything good in the goddamned closet

Pixel a Day @pixeladay.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
I had to look it up and Google tells me it’s just there to “emphasise Henry’s secretive nature” - nah man. Nah. You can establish secretive natures in many ways but if you have a locked closet in a mystery novel that you specifically draw attention to, there better be something fuckin good in there

Pixel a Day @pixeladay.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
I just finished Donna Tartt’s The Secret History and perhaps my pettiest gripe is that one of the main characters has a padlocked closet and the protagonist is like, huh, that’s weird, and then we never come back to it again. This is a mystery novel. It’s not even an interesting red herring

Of course it’s essential to keep an eye out for sneaky AI but have we forgotten that students have been turning in half-assed generic essays since the dawn of man

Pixel a Day @pixeladay.bsky.social · 15/05/2026
This is how I feel when teachers pronounce that a student’s work is AI because it lacks specificity. I mean maybe, but also, it’s such a common human error that in Year 11 we gifted our English teacher a stamp saying “BE MORE SPECIFIC” so she wouldn’t have to keep writing it on everyone’s papers

Now that I've just discovered @pixeladay.bsky.social, thanks to @realdavejackson.bsky.social, I now get to do my favorite thing and binge the channel. It's my favorite ways to explore new creators. If you haven't seen her latest on Wanderstop and Celeste it's a must watch.

Have you watched my latest video? (And have you shared it if you enjoyed it?👀) Here's what people are saying about it! "This might be your best video" "a timeless masterpiece" "Yep and that's me crying" "extremely inspiring" "This came at such a perfect time" "I think I needed this video." "Meh"
