A kangaroo plushie dressed in an astronaut suit stands on a table surrounded by stickers to take. The kangaroo is carrying a boomerang and an Aboriginal flag.

Fascinating! Do you know if JAXA has had any engagement with Traditional Owners groups/First Nations People re: capsule recovery in Woomera?

Hallowstream is the best streaming series going, which sometimes plays a game and sometimes sits on the pause screen for an hour and a half to have a discussion about contemporary art, or archival practice, or what if there was a tiny Michel Foucault.

Returning to Vice City What follows is a sort of loose collection of thoughts I had during my current re-visit of 2002’s Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Don’t expect some grand conclusion or an essay; just come with me on this...

Blog post: Returning to Vice City

Some notes playing through GTA Vice City over the last few weeks.

What kind of sociopath brings a full punnet of strawberries to work and then leaves it to rot in the shared fridge.

Let's Play Blue Prince - Episode 13
YouTube video by Dia Lacina Let's Play Blue Prince - Episode 13

Within minutes of starting @shirokumahi.me accuses me of cursing us with a run of pure chaos...

And in that moment, she has absolutely no idea what's in store.

This episode of our Blue Prince LP is wall to wall ridiculous. Enjoy!

Having once cooked goose, I would suggest Happy Goose Day is incompatible with World Heart Day.

in ONE stream, even knowing that this superstition-game would happen, austin and I: invented a demiurge called the Red Duke, wondered whether luck was being siphoned between each other/towards previous LPs by other people, started reading barthes, and started to wrongly suspect the game was broken

The one that always sticks out in my memory is the discovery that Saturn's moon Titan has a hydrological cycle, rivers, lakes and seas - just like Earth. Must have been in my mid-late teens.

I think that just means there's much less active ingredient than stated, due to degredation over time, rather than whacky side effects. But that would just be a guess. You should buy a new bottle and do a blinded comparison for us.

I think this increasing trend towards necromancy is good and productive. Certainly I have never consumed any cultural touchstones across thousands of years of history that warn against the dangers of attempting to overcome death.

I am perpetually baffled at how rubbish digital radios are. I had one over 15 years ago that was functionally identical to this one.

Can't wait to find out the difference between 'carrying a weapon' and 'preparing to commit violence'!

Like, you could blow them onto the lawn, then use your new lawn mower to pick them up while also mowing the lawn. Unprecedented levels of productivity.
