Tristan Carlyon @tristancarlyon.bsky.social · 05/10/2026That I remember, the early 80s BBC adaptation of Day of the Triffids. Brrrrr Probably Dr Who before that, my mum tells me that a plaintive cry of "Don't want Doctor!" could often be heard from small Tristan, but this show is the one I remember properly putting the wind up me. That title sequence! 020
Tristan Carlyon @tristancarlyon.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Reminds me of how I read the Podkin One-Ear books to my littlest when he was younger, but by the time the last few came out he'd aged out of them a bit. I bought them anyway and read them myself as I wanted to see how the story ended. They were great 010

Tristan Carlyon @tristancarlyon.bsky.social · 24/09/2026This story was in the first Dredd annual I ever got, very soon after I started reading 2000ad. The psychedelic nightmare colouring hit me like a hammer, and the scene where Dredd stabs the spider's giant eye remains imprinted in my brain 010
Tristan Carlyon @tristancarlyon.bsky.social · 20/09/2026While I played a lot of games on the ZX Spectrum, the switch didn't really flip until I encountered the original Super Mario Kart at a friend's place. Just blew my mind. I ended up buying the SNES off him... 130

Tristan Carlyon @tristancarlyon.bsky.social · 29/08/2026The way this cartoon is cropped reminds me of when I was living in York in the 90s. I would occasionally get strangers giving me shit cos I had a beard. One day I was out and heard someone yell "BEARD!" from a passing car. I looked round and he had one too and was giving me two thumbs up 020
