We went to a garden centre today and checked out the tropical fish section. I absolutely lost my mind when I found out that Vampire Crabs exist. Look at them!
I wrote a game! About attempting to strangle a horse! And dying of eg Spider Bumhead or Bonegone Horsefright! It's free! And VERY SILLY

I don't need a controller, but might buy it just for the description. Honestly, browsing eBay recently is horrid
I have finally gone back to Doom Eternal's DLC and I am here to announce that it fucking slaps. As does Doom 2016. And Doom The Dark Ages. Just absolutely ridiculous. Lovely stuff.
Ha! Wonderfully, there is actually more to that description where I describe the controller. Ebay apparently just chose to focus on that.
The selling experience is also pretty rough. Hooray for the march of progress!
I emailed the company to get the damaged ones replaced! So they currently live amongst my records in their nice tidy cases, but damn the coloured vinyls are so *pretty* it seems a shame not to make more of that.
Isn't it SUCH A PRETTY THING???
Oh you are in for a TREAT
Speaking of cool things that sexy people want.
Do you want six Clair Obscur vinyl slipcases? There's no record in them and the top edge is cracked slightly, but it would make a lovely bit of wall art for nerds!
Basically it would be a real shame to bin them

Six hours left on this, and it's currently leas than the ratbags at CEX were offering. How EMBARRASSING!
Do YOU want an XBox controller? Sure you do!

One of my biggest regrets is seeing this comic on the shelf of a newsagents back in the 90s and not immediately buying it poopsheetfoundation.com/index.php/mi...
UFO50 was a genuinely incredible game, and what the devs should do next is release exactly the same thing again, but this time it's a puzzle game, and puzzle is that you're emulating the games and need to get them working _just_ right. Obviously you never then *play* the games. That would be silly.

If you are unsure of how to spell mnemonic, here is a handy mnemonic:
no one ever appreciates my vision
God dammit. I can't believe that when some dorks trained an AI to sound like me I didnt call it my sloppelgänger.
(As ever: I was fucking livid. Never do this to anyone.)

Threaten us with a good time you ghouls.
Seriously, they're really not handling this particularly well are they?

I don't know why people act like it's demeaning to say, "Don't worry your pretty little head about it." Do you have any idea how nice it would be to be told not to worry about something? And hearing I have a pretty head on top of that? If you said that to me I'd kiss you.

Now the ship's got to go back to Southampton to get the grain.
