Also hello ๐ I am still alive. Maybe I'll start posting here again properly at some point...
In just under 3 weeks I'm running my first ever half-marathon, in aid of MSF! If you feel like chucking in a few quid in support I would hugely appreciate it โบ๏ธ

Until you've built a level and had 10 million people play it without getting lost or frustrated, you can shut the fuck up about yellow paint.
Had a wonderful weekend catching up with some old friends and playing board games I've not played in years. Good times โบ๏ธ

Nice. A classic theme. I got a bit bogged down in the bottom right section.

Annoyingly if I'd have done the downs first I'd have had loads of plonks and probably would have finished a lot quicker

Catching up on Eurovision news:
The stage looks cool. The font is fine.

Couple of American brands in this one which messed me up a bit. So not the easiest solve for me

My account will probably be fairly quiet for the next couple of weeks. Wife and I have both finished work for the year and have entered full vegetation mode.
Which perversely means I barely look at my phone because I'm far too busy sleeping, eating or playing video games
I just preached at a bear so hard in Qud that it found god and started carrying my shit for me
It's now wearing battle armor
Very much appreciating Salman Anwarโs photo of The Shard in the UK, which he points out theyโve tried to make festive and instead made look menacingly evil.

Ok back to normality with this one. A very very smooth fill compared to yesterday!

I love this song so much. It goes so hard.
I discovered Bambie when I saw them play Download fest the year before they did Eurovision and this was one of my most played songs that year because of that set

Hahaha almost 20 mins? I have no idea how I would have ever solved that if it wasn't for Puzzmo's hint system.
A clever theme but wow that was a difficult crossword ๐

I've been informed it's a nyckelharpa. A Swedish keyed fiddle

I know a lot less about Taylor Swift than I do Chappell Roan but I managed

Ahhh they were so good! Even better than I thought they'd be!
Whole band gave it absolutely everything. And they ended with an incredible moment where Gunnhild, the lead singer, sang completely unamplified. Haunting and beautiful. Highly recommend!
I loved today's puzzle! Amazing work โฅ๏ธ
Soooo,
what makes BlueSky impressive is composable moderation. As in, you can trivially subscribe to a moderation channel that behaves more like you want.
Assuming the built-in mod team'll go as hard as you want was never gonna work out, but since we can do the above, we can just work around them.
Next year ๐ค
Gig night tonight! Norwegian folk-rock band, Gรฅte. Have listened to some of their stuff but not super familiar with em so looking forward to being surprised!
Right? I'd never heard anything of theirs before and immediately became a huge fan.
Also thanks for the recs! That Sugar Pit album is excellent. Can't believe I'd let that one slip by
Someone thought 'guess the eyes' would be good for the festive coffee room๐
Who wants to see the worst pie chart of the year #dataviz

Always gonna enjoy a puzzle that's built off a Chappell Roan reference

Catly is AI garbage, there are better cat games made by (cat-loving) humans.
Alt text: Little Kitty Big City (black cat running amok on a city street), Spirit City Lofi Sessions (drinking tea with magic cat), Cat Quest III (magical cat adventuring party), and Nine Sols (mysterious cat cyberninja).
