It's a set photo from the filming of Aliens with actress Sigourney Weaver posing with the alien queen puppet.

Just celebrating some awesome women before the day is done.

He's fun* (*damentally flawed)

Every TF liker should experience this mould once.

DM me and we can arrange it, cheers.

I remember this song getting some nasty criticism at release / as part of Up reviews. Too schmaltzy, a little creepy? Don't be silly. It's gawjus.

youtu.be/UIXs66BPooY?...

Down to five copies of The Console left here, on hand - copies I can sell to you for £15 posted.

Cheers to people who've bought a copy over the last week - I lugged them up the hill to the post office yesterday, so they're on their way to you now.

Want a copy? Lmk, and it can be done.

He's not wrong tho. (Love this.)

Not even trying.

Kids these days don't know they're born.

I don't buy as much as I'd like to, but a few splurges per year keep me ticking over. Tbh I don't have the space to buy more. (And definitely no space to go vinyl over CD.)

Some CDs I just bought, by The Armed, They Are Gutting a Body of Water, HEALTH, Water From Your Eyes, Daniel Avery and Jamie XX. The last one was 3 quid so go on then, chuck it in.

It's me, the guy who buys CDs.

Ah, yes, the pulsating rhythmical remedy.

It'll never not sound incredible.

I saw / heard, and I'm enjoying that too.

Why did nobody tell me the Daniel Avery album of late 2025 was this good? You naughty recommenders. You stopped mid-Oct, again, didn't you.

I'm not watching but I remember the 'Massive' era. So silly.

'Game changers' where the only way to win the game is to not play.

I need it back, somehow, somewhen. Before my hip or knee gives out.

Naturally there are other legal ways to get a lot of these games *digitally*, and maybe that works for you.

I love the swapping of the carts and the reading of the manuals.

This is a very convincing argument for getting into Evercade, if you're not already.

Then there's the Renovation cart. The Sunsoft carts. The Gaelco carts. The Bitmap Bros carts.

Such an affordable way to (legally) obtain and enjoy otherwise-exceptionally-expensive games.

If I win the lottery, I'm putting on a fake ATP. You can all come. I think it'd heal us.

Unless you were booked to DJ at ATP.

Hello! Why not celebrate it being the weekend by listening to our latest episode, out NOW!? This week with added @mikediver.bsky.social in the role of Super Special Guest!

Give it a listen and then write us a letter for a future show. You know you want to!

Brighton pub-goers/knowers:

What's your favourite pub for a solo pint? Somewhere you know you'll get a seat, and nobody will bother you. It'll not be too loud, but not too quiet. And the beer is decent.

If you're in the market for me talking about Alien games, here's a listen that might be up your exceptionally niche street.

Similar feels. I like the last two more but I've a place for this one, too. Scratches a different itch.

Modern Transformers Targetmasters toys, on a desk, just now.

A #deskbot trio for your Friday.

Stay on target, do your best, and have a great weekend.

Chunk it and we're good... I'm not going in sliced.

By coring it, sliding it over a carrot/parsnip/dense spring onion and going at it like a corn cob?

Yes.

Grapes
Mango (dried)
Apple (sliced)
Grapefruit (whole)
Pineapple (chunked)
Cranberry and sultana mix
Opal Fruits (vintage)
Blackberry crumble (w/ custard)
Nerds and/or Dweebs

Systems number was *not* right.

But anyway, recommended app for anyone who likes collecting video games in boxes.

Gameye app stats showing I've acquired and logged 1,224 physical games and 61 systems. Apparently that's worth over 20 grand, which either is or isn't a lot, depending on where you're standing.

I see your nine games.

I raise you your Gameye stats.

(Caveat: I've not added all my games to it yet, but systems is right.)

Gameye is a very useful app if you, like me, enjoy browsing game fairs and retro shops but aren't great at remembering what you already have.
