There were a lot of old sci-fi novels in my house growing up, and I'd always wished I could explore the lavish, bizarre landscapes I saw on the covers. I think this might do the trick.

"I can hold my breath for ten minutes", especially the RtMI version - "In my prime, I could [etc]" "were you in your prime then?" "...Eight minutes"

If this is anything like their last game, this is something that will linger in the mind long after the credits roll. If On A Winter's Night Four Travellers was a dark, ornately crafted treat. Can't wait for this one.

We get it whenever a US chain opens here - we don't need a news article about Manchester getting a Popeye's when we have a Spรคtzle restaurant within walking distance of town

Very true, based on two things I have done in the past year that have immeasurably improved my wellbeing:
1. Painting a wall in my house with blackboard paint for drawing silly drawings whenever I want
2. Inviting friends over to play around with arts and crafts stuff regularly

RIP Nigel the business worm. He died doing what he loved (business, being a worm)

Made the mistake of trying to leave the house this weekend. I had to admit defeat and go home instead of going to the cinema. When it's too hot to sit in a dark room with a fan on, that's when you know it's bad.

You say that now, but just wait until somebody dances like nobody's watching. Then you'll be glad of it

there should be a consumer electronics review site called does it beep dot com and the sole criteria it uses to judge kitchen appliances, cars, washing machines, etc is whether it beeps at you and if so how annoying the beeps are

Paraphrasing, from someone with some difficult experiences: you're gentle enough that you're someone I feel really comfortable and safe saying no to

I forgot lunch existed for about two hours the other week, then wondered why I was hungry

Stephen Tobolowsky as the T-Rex. Wallace Shawn is busy playing Buzz. No other changes.

It's nice to be reminded that history is not a straight line from censorious to permissive. I don't know why people like the myths so much, when the fact people were always trying to have fun and be risque with their art is so much more fun

I love this. I feel like a win would be having a smoothly run event while making sure the big dramatic moments can happen - distract everyone else with a parlour game so the mismatched couple can split up without spoiling the vibe.

Had a great time at yesterday's Twin Peaks S1 marathon at Cultplex (@cpxmcr.bsky.social). Forgot how much I love Pete Martell with his daft little face

a cartoon of a man with a strange face is standing in front of a fridge Alt: Sergeant Cortez from Timesplitters teleports away from a room in some kind of base, compound or bunker. He looks like an archetypal sci-fi action hero, with red bionic eyes or goggles, a shaved head and grey armour. He looks pleased with himself for a moment before his expression turns to one of surprise as he disappears.

I think it's nice to chat a little when you're both stuck on a long journey. It can help anxiety in a way. Like if you both gripe about the delays or the lousy seats, you can go "ok they're mad about that" and not "they hate me" when they look mad

Sonic's chaos emeralds are clearly based on a deep appreciation of the work of Jordan Peterson

Playing one of these as an adult is a great way to build self esteem. A witness says "She was going somewhere with a great wall" and I'm like "OH YEAH I GOT THIS"
