....aw Tale as old as time - got to move fast enough so the insane weight of the planks for the next staircase up doesn't kill me, can't move too fast or the character launches themselves off the little ledge at the top of the stairs and the weight means the single-storey drop kills me anyway 😭

You know. In the far off days of 1997, the American government just straight-up executing people in the streets was considered so alien an idea it was satire

Absolutely incredible this reel of comedian Chuck Nice railing against modern tech enabling people celebrating being stupid ended up with a chatGPT ad running at the bottom of it. Absolute cinema

It's loquat season, and after the best crop I've had in years there was nothing for it but jam! (Except for that last one, somehow I was worried it might make the batch taste a bit...salty 😅)

What a delightful way to discover the game you're playing is unquestionably Australian

Speaking of ads in media, I snapped this last weekend when I walked past a newspaper stand in rural Australia for the first time in a while. I remember when the headline on the front page used to be what sold your newspaper...

For me it was Oni - played it on the PC, loved it, basically nobody I ever mention it to has heard of it... It was weird and silly and the levels felt mostly empty space, but you could shoot people while doing ninja flips and so teenage me was enthralled

Ah, Oblivion. I'm so glad that even with a new coat of paint, you haven't changed a bit.

Truly an horrific elevation of the joke thanks to how Bluesky chose to crop image three 😅

Perfect juxtaposition of posts in my feed, no notes
Screenshot of two Bluesky posts, one a sarcastic point about devout Christians wishing certain people to die and the other being a joke proof of dogs having souls because the jokester discovered their evil soul-sucking sword worked on someone's dog

Prince Orlofsky with a bit of light side stage reading waiting to charge on for the Act 3 Finale of Die Fledermaus! I have been utterly captivated by @kateforsyth.bsky.social's phenomenal retelling of the myth of Psyche and Eros - review coming soon 🤩
