Some days you wake up with a plan. Some days you find yourself having to jokingly rewrite a chapter of The Great Gatsby for a YouTube video about NES games at 3 in the afternoon. It's me. I am the "you" in this scenario.

Shy crab.

A photo of a pale brown crab in an aquarium tank. It's peeking out from between a large pipe and a wall of rock. A couple of fish are visible in the foreground. The crab has its claws pulled in towards its body and it has a tiny, tiny little face that looks almost nervous.

Gonzo is, once again, telling it like it is. I unironically wish I was as good a communicator as this cat, who can instantly get the exact point across in very few words, most of which aren't even spelled correctly, and people immediately understand them.

Okay, Zelda direct thoughts. Not fussed about the film, so on to OOT. OOT looks a heck of a lot less "Nintendo hire this man" than I was worried it would. The problem is that the two things that DO look like that are Link, and Kokiri Forest. I wonder if it's something to do with the lighting? As…

My latest, newest video is out at last! Watch as I talk about another old flash game that barely anybody's ever heard of. Other topics somehow brought up in this game review are everyone's third favourite deodorant brand, and Sweden's impressive contributions to pop culture!

There's nothing quite like the feeling of finding a minor spelling mistake in a major Wikipedia article, and therefore being unable to correct it as the page is locked due to vandalism.

The word "languages" misspelled in the Wikipedia page for Spain. I have just about resisted the urge to @Wikipedia in this post.

Oh look, a Yellow Wagtail has wandered into your feed for a little paddle. How delightful!

A Yellow Wagtail pauses in a shallow puddle, one foot lifted as though taking another careful step. Its vivid yellow underparts stand out against the soft browns of the muddy waterside

There are two likes on my previous post. One of them is from @chiitan.love, and the other is from the Club Penguin bot. I think I've got this whole Bluesky thing down now!

When people tell me that Roblox now is no different from what Club Penguin was when I was a child, these statistics are why I think that that is complete nonsense. Does Roblox have any moderation or safety features at all?!

Some moments Hasbro has never apologised for:

A moment from the original Transformers cartoon showing a sign for the fictional Arabian country of "Carbombya City. Population 4000 People. 10000 Camels."

A half page from the Spotlight Arcee comic of her explaining Transformers don't have girls and she's the result of being stuck in a vaginally excavator machine.

The "Romeo and Juliet card I'm not a pedophile" scene from Age of Extinction.

I'm so glad someone else posted this, I was quite interested to see why as well, but other than this post, all I got was ads for toiletries and a video of a robot driving off of a pier.

Post a perfect album from the '90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, or Alice in Chains. (Which is easy for me as I'm not a massive fan of any of those bands)

Managed to dream an entire episode of Toygrind last night, where Mr. Adams reviewed Beast Wars Buzzclaw whilst standing in a garden next to a shed. I was a little disappointed when I woke up and couldn't find it online.

I love video games. This is from a DOS game called Nuclear War. I've played the game a bunch of times, but I've only ever seen this once, and I have no idea what actually caused it. The game is on the internet archive now, and is actually great fun. It's even got Spitting Image-like caricatures!

Text from the unsubtly-titled DOS game "Nuclear War" that reads "The flying cows of CattleTech killed absolutely no one."

This is one of the most "web original horror fiction"-inspiring images I can think of, this is the exact kind of thing that I can imagine in an "erased from reality" story. Doesn't Mike seem so overdesigned compared to the others? With the belt, the buttons on the jacket, and the striped trousers?

I've just seen Toy Story 5 in cinemas. This is one of Pixar's best films in years, in my opinion, and although it is clearly meant for those familiar with the previous four films, it is by no means a key-jangling nostalgia fest. It has something to say, and characters to say it with. Fun, emotional…

I think enough time has passed for me to say: you all fucking lost your minds too much over that Australian breakdancing woman at the Paris Olympics. The sport isn't even called breakdancing, it's called breaking. The conspiracy theories I saw about her were insane.
