I know that @santhum.bsky.social is extremely happy about this 🐎

Went to see a "corpse flower" today that is set to bloom any moment. Its called Smellanie and stubbornly remained unbloomed.

It is very satisfying to find this on the shelf in @ebgamesau.bsky.social 🥹

A scene from Animal Crossing New Horizons showing a character holding a whale shark, standing on a beach. There's a rocky outcrop behind the character, with fishing equipment around. In the background is a wolf character who sucks at fishing.

After a busy week, it's been a pleasant day doing the fishing tourney on Rockay island 😅

Delighted to share the following:

✴️ I'm now a "Game Dev Consultant" at @indiebi.com
✴️ I'm now a Steam Partner, as "Big Haggis Energy", to eventually ship my first game
✴️ I made mince and tatties this evening :3

An open pizza box; a cheese pizza with one slice missing in the base, with a box of chips resting on the side, and a pot of gravy sitting in the bottom left of the inside of the lid. On the inside of the lid, the message reads "I've upsized this pizza. Enjoy!" with a large smiley face.

I have some good news to share, but I want to make sure the inks dried first before crowing about it.

In the meantime, mini celebratory filth.

While all the Animal Crossing games have their strengths and weaknesses, Wild World remains my favourite.

Largely due to the time of my life it fell in, but it's also the chunky graphic textures, the mild unhinged interactions (and rudeness!), and the simplicity

Love that Silksong has managed to snag both GOTY and Game You Suck At! 😆

Coming soon: Gallows Corner - A Peasants' Revolt RPG Rise up, ye pitiful commons! Throw off your shackles and take up the call: England will burn, and we will build better in the ashes!

This looks absolutely delightful. Play a post-plague era peasant in England, seeking revolution 👀

If you're in the giving spirit and have some free time soon, go through the games you've played and give them a review, it means a lot to Devs 🥹💖

Endangered Key Deer's STEAM REPLAY 2025 Check out my 2025 Steam Replay

Full linky thing: s.team/y25/ccdcdmm?...

A "Wrapped" Steam screenshot for Endangered Key Deer. Shows 57 games played, 458 achievements, 624 sessions, 42 new games, with the top games being Crime Boss (32%), Suikoden (7%), On Your Tail (5%), Go-Go Town (5%), and Promise Mascot Agency (5%)

Despite being all over the place this year, I apparently still made a poo-load of time for gaming!

Screenshot of the Monzo bank app's 'Wrap', showing a computer mouse poking through an orange window made of coins and game controllers. Text reads "The legend of Oli and the insurmountable backlog. You spent more than most at Steam. You'll get through your library... eventually"

Thanks for the call out, Monzo 🥲

I had an unintentionally threatening promise from my bank that they'd send me a "wrap" of 2025 soon. Hated it last year, nothing like being told how much you spent on bills, coffee, and beer while you're surviving the Christmas stretch 🥲

A close-up outdoor selfie of a man with a ginger beard and blue eyes, wearing a brown leather wide-brimmed hat. Australian outback is visible in the softly blurred background, and he's looking at the camera with a calm, faint smile.

As 2025 winds down, I realise I'm carrying more unprocessed feelings about the year than I expected.

When structures change or disappear, it can leave a strange void: burnout, reflection, and noticing how quietly effort/recognition fades. No drama, just recalibration.

Got a new hat today, though!

Found this excellent bit of street art 🥹

Asuka fan here, too! I picked up a pop mart blind box last week when I saw it was Evangelion, and delightfully got Eva-02, albeit as an odd mashup in phone holder format 😅

Been a delightfully high abv night

A lot has happened in the last few days but I can least juggle it all from the comfort of my very teal new setup 👀

Everything about this is amazing, the longer you look the more horrors that appear 😂

Happy birthday to the industries most loveable scamp, also wishlist Wax Heads

In this day and age, they're pretty comparable to be honest - I'd just go with whatever one has a better deal going at the moment!
"Back in the day", Id have said HP hands down - had so many issues with Alienware kit, but that was literally two decades ago now.

Honestly, the fact that I had to go back so far in time to find an example still redners the whole situation a sadness 😅

Oh absolutely! Not endorsing him, just the closest I can think to match, though if you follow the NHS route back, Attlee was probably the best? Admittedly my knowledge is shaky there though!
