Another day in Scotland, another day of adventures (and feeling exhausted after 🙈…hence why this post includes yesterday’s outings 🫪) yesterday we visited The Isle of Mull via the ferry. We went to Duart Castle owned by the Maclean family/clan (1)

Two posts from me in less than a week?! Hell! In less than 2 days?! It’s more likely than you think! Especially as me and the lads are now in Bonnie Scotland! 🤩🤩🤩 and for as far as the first day in Scotland has gone, it’s gone bloody lovely!…mostly once we got to the house we’re staying at 😅 (1)

This mf’er then proceeds to say he STRONGLY DISLIKES Club Penguin because he doesn’t want to compete with a Puffle?! My dude! You basically have a Puffle sat next to you! 😤😭

In exciting gaming news (for me), I just hit base 90s in OldSchool RuneScape, and am only 100 total levels away from maxing my account! I may be a kickass politician, but I'm also pretty good at my medieval point-and-click MMO. 😤

So Skyrim has a new product placement creation out.... but wait! It's free, has a bunch of new items, two new dungeons and a fully voiced companion? It's actually pretty decent all things considered and I enjoyed it quite a bit. youtu.be/pT15jkI-w_o?...

This is such a huge blow, not just because this month is Suicide Prevention Month but also for every month and for every person who needs this support. I remember contacting Papyrus back in 2017 and got through to the nicest Northern man, I wish I could thank and tell him how much better things are

This bundle is sat on top of a dark blue blanket that has wjite birds, stars and moons dotted on it.

It’s been pretty eventful for Joost and his fan base recently as his latest album, Dutch Hardcore, was leaked (on Roblox to start with I think? Which definitely adds to the madness in my opinion 🫪) but now he’s officially released the album, I can’t say I’m a huge fan of it. (1)

In lieu of this news 📰 article (🔗 www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...) about RuneScape turning 25 there is one very important omission. RuneScape survived to be 25 *because* of the LGBTQ community 🫂, not despite it. Pride 🌈 belongs in Gielinor. Fuck Mod North.
