Will add to my list…!

Kind of confusing! I keep expecting to be able to go down wells or up through rock 🫠 But still – so enjoyable! It has great replay value

I recently started BOTW from scratch again and the Thunderblight Ganon fight is doing my head in. I hate that guy

You imagined it! But I’ve just looked it up and I’m definitely going to…!

Me and who

I cannot get to Europe for this but you can bet your ass I’d write the hell out of a paper on how the Catholic Church reckoned with the demoniac spectres of Spiritualism during WWI

(Apparently it’s about the tennis ?? but I choose to believe otherwise)

This has not aged well

A Website To End All Websites | Henry From Online How to win the war for the soul of the internet, and build the Web We Want.

you’re right! it feels mostly awful to Go Online™, these days. the internet in a sad state, for reason after reason after reason. but there is a way to fix it; to trade the voidful howling for a quiet & joyful song.

here’s how to win the war for the soul of the internet, and build the Web We Want.

Oh no, thank you, I actually just had a year.

I feel like a little electric shock might be a good way to combat the out-of-body experience that airports and long-haul travel tend to deliver

This needs to be the cover of an eerie novel about a haunted house

This is insanely good. Rare to see a website with such tactility

Ahh, I love that. It’s like having a nice time-capsule!

I deleted my Spotify account a few months ago. Zero regrets. Currently using a mix of Bandcamp and my old library of ripped CDs loaded onto an iPod classic and let me tell you, the iPod still fucking rules

Can I ask what the book is? Sounds very up my alley…
