Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It sounds good, Jerry, but what if I want to have a meganightnap during the day? I'd feel silly telling people I was having a daymeganightnap? We're going to need to solve this before the first round of investments. 050
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I think a lot of men fear women without even allowing themselves to realise that. They never let themselves really get to know any women as people. Then they're unhappy. Then they blame women. 0484
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I mean....Skeletor is a better person than Jared Leto. 0282
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 05/09/2026This feels quite scoldist? Those of us with no discernible sense of humour are able to like people too. (I say 'like', really I mean 'tolerate'. No. 'Abide'?. 'Disapprove of less' is maybe it?) 1860
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I'm kindof a sucker for the 'Die Hard on a...' subgenre in general. 030
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Directed by the brilliant @racheltalalay.com. (Who's also a really interesting person to follow if you're into film and tv and how stuff is made.) 030
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I'm itching to know if 13,556 is what we all think it is. (I was certain before I saw 13,554, and now I'm doubting myself.) 180
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I also think Bruno and a non-exhausted Zubimendi, mean we're likely to have a greater and more consistent level of service to our attackers. And I'd expect Vic to kick on a bit too in his second season in the prem. Early signs with Tzolis look positive too. Plenty of reason for optimism imho. 120
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 05/08/2026They work fine as standalones, but there is definitely added depth if you play them all (Think of it like watching the Indiana Jones films.) The first is easily the weakest (still fun), with each one there is a noticeable jump in depth/quality. See how you get on. As you say, you can skip ahead. 010
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 04/08/2026.....Especially assuming you played the remake of the first TLOU(?). But Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy are more modern and comparable, and might scratch that itch. (Still worth playing the originals imho. They're genuinely good, get better as they go along, and give the newer ones more impact.) 110
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 04/08/2026....different types of games, and different in tone. The storytelling quality, world-building, character work etc is still there, so they are probably the closest thing. But the first three are older games, and while they held up well, they show their age compared to the TLOU games.... 110
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 04/08/2026HaHa! You're one of us now. Once you have played TLOU, you will spend the rest of your days chasing that experience and it really doesn't exist elsewhere. Those games are unicorns. As you say, Uncharted is also Naughty Dog, and while different types of games... 110
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 18/07/2026That's essentially the entire relationship between us and the French. We both love and are offended by the very concept of each other. Like siblings. 060
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 11/07/2026I think it's ok to block someone who responds in this way. Their position appears to be that while sad/serious things are happening, no one should ever talk about fun/joyful things!!? It's hard to believe that it's said in good faith(?), but in many way, it's actually worse if it is. 0100
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Yep. He's like a cross between Henry and Ronaldo Nazário. Extraordinary athlete, magnificent footballer. 0100
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Nope. And no luck involved. Courage, composure, tactical nous, skill and heart. Legends, every one of them. This will be remembered long after they all hang up their boots. 1120
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Now, I wasn't there, so I can't say for definite if this conversation did, in fact, take place. But when I mentioned it to Genghis Khan at brunch just now, he seemed skeptical. 2150
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 01/07/2026The fact that they're trying to frame it as 'consumer preference' and 'retail trends' when they've done everything possible to push people into not buying physical, is especially galling. 020
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Ok fine, but when your brain goes slient...that's on you. 2120
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Yes, I think both things are true. They were sloppy and naive defensively in key moments in the first half, but they did also show some fight and spirit, and produced some good moments too. Disappointing, but not a capitulation, and certainly not the disgrace some are painting it as. 060
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 20/06/2026That looked like it could've been a penalty on McTominay too. Big call at 1-0. 140
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 18/05/2026To be fair, it sounds deeply improbable. It's a pretty weird coincidence that they ALL turn out to be actors. 040
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Yep. At the end of the day, this is what it's all about. 😭🥰 100
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 08/05/2026This is a disgusting attempt to marginalise the 'quirky tie' community. 030
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Yep. When I lost the last of my dogs, the silence in the house was heartbreaking. For months, every time I came home, I still half expected to hear the sound of scrabbling paws. 1140
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 13/04/2026He's so egregiously, comprehensively and transparently awful that merely perceiving this glaring reality really isolates you from all the people who can't/won't see it, too. In their tolerance of him, they become something completely unrelatable and fundamentally 'other'. It's incredibly depressing. 1112
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 01/04/2026These dudes are extraordinary. So much effort into analysing all the ways that they believe women fall short, not one joule of energy expended on considering the possibility that they themselves might be a colossal dickhead. 22188
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 24/03/2026It speaks well of you that you are giving him that much credit. I think this might be more of a case of 'It is difficult to get a man to understand something when he finds it really difficult to understand things.' 171
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 18/03/2026As someone who has not (thus far) released a game on Steam, it's really just the looking at my computer and crying that I connect with. 0170
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 17/03/2026By scoring highly skilful goals that are difficult to emulate, Arsenal are setting others up for failure and lowering the quality of the game on a global level. Disgusting. 060
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 14/03/2026It's been an exhausting, nerve-shredding, excruciating day. And utterly glorious. Worth every year it's shaved off my life expectancy. 0120
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 12/03/2026Yep. Definitely more comfortable to think that the reason you believe the stuff that most people reject is because you're 'edgy' and 'interesting', and 'do your own research' than to consider that you might be stupid, hateful, ignorant and frozen in emotional adolescence. 0317
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 10/03/2026'We shouldn't normalise this framing' = 'this much anger and energy.'? Are you 'spending anger and energy' replying to me right now? I presume you only ever comment on existential matters? Wouldn't waste time chastising people over comments about A.I. actresses you happen to disagree with? 2310
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 10/03/2026'and this time SHE's released a pop music video, where SHE sings about the backlash to HER initial.' Describing what 'she' is doing, like 'she' is a being with agency, is not 'just how you write things'. 1480
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Quotation marks or not. It's not an actress. It's code. We shouldn't normalise this framing. 51881
Reposted by Tom StowGail Simone @gailsimone.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up. 113130944411
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 05/03/2026I can't remember the last time I was this very specific combination of nervous and excited for a movie. I've never liked the idea of anyone remaking or re-imagining it. It's one of my all-time favourites. But I also love your work enough to know what's possible here. So for once, I'm hopeful. 030
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 02/03/2026As much as I love this franchise, this is the first one since the original that I haven't bought at launch. Having experienced them on #PSVR2, there's no going back for me. 052
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 08/02/2026Yep. Extraordinary talent. Great singer/writer/rapper/lyricist and musician. I'm assuming you've seen them, but in case you haven't, The Jenny and Screech trilogy and Money Game Part 3, are pretty special also. 040
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 17/01/2026'Blimey' is a very underrated word. Used judiciously it really is a novel in two syllables. 070
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 12/01/2026PSVR2 please!!! These games are made for VR. It's their ultimate form. Would happily pay an upgrade fee. After playing 7, Village and 4 on PSVR, it would be really heartbreaking if this one is flat only. 0462
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 05/01/2026I was going to scold you for sexualising him (I mean...it's Bluesky.) But then I saw the picture and realise he didn't leave you much choice. Now If you'll excuse me, I have, er...things to do. 170
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 21/12/2025I know someone who's told me they're a 'centrist' for about 40 years now. Given how much the political topography has shifted in that time, what this steadfastness tells me, is that their 'centrism' has never been about what they believe, it's been about what they need others to believe about them. 01267
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 19/12/2025I love all the reviews that are basically 'yeah, they're an incredible visual experience, full of wonder and groundbreaking spectacle BUT....', and I'm like 'SOLD.' For the price of a cinema ticket, that right there is more than enough. (I actually think there's more to them, but the point stands.) 160
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 12/12/2025Perfect. This fixes all of the biggest problems with the book, like it being a bit of a downer, and...like...about stuff. 1800
Tom Stow @tomstow.bsky.social · 11/12/2025But then how will people know I'm clever and interesting? 040
