Crazy skies in London right now

Please send me marketing emails about future monkey island stuff:)

A quick reminder: vast wealth does not equal vast intelligence

The only book I’ve read about free will that made any sense. Also the only book about free will I’ve ever chosen to read…

That was the first game I played during the first lockdown.
If you can complete it without looking online for hints, hats off to you. I had to check a guide many times, still loved it though

I like sand, but hate Anakin

I would imagine the experience of time would be fundamental and broadly similar in the sense that something can remember the past and anticipate the future.
But contrary to that the film Arrival does a great job of showing an Alien species that experience time radically differently from ourselves

The singularity is hear: it is apocalypse by way of everyone on earth’s uncle becoming an ‘author’ overnight and asking anything with eyes to read their debut ‘novel’…

Likewise. I’m saving it for a broken limb or bedridden illness scenario 😅

Yeah, I loved Divinity 2, but I put it down for a year at about 3/4 the way through, feeling guilty that I left my character hanging. I managed to get to the end recently though and it felt good to get closure. Have you played Baldars gate 3 yet?

It’s like climbing a giant Miro painting

Merry New Year’s Eve!

Yes, I probably played most of them. Completed none

For me, Landstalker and Shining Force 2 in a two way tie for first. I’ll go back to them one day, no doubt

Merry Christmas! 🎄

People here know Die Hard is a Christmas movie right? They were strangely divided on that one over on the bird app…

When it sorts out the Riemann hypothesis in an afternoon we’ll talk. Until then it’s most likely just regurgitating our previous bunglings, which it has proven to do nothing but to date

But sometimes it lands and doesn’t go gross, and we can slide about on it

I started with Chungking Express, the first indi film I can remember loving. A perfect place to begin with him, then maybe Fallen Angels next 👍

😎👍

Dear Santa, I know Ive never written to you before, but there’s this skull vomit bottle thingy…

How is Bluesky for promoting music? How does it compare to Twitter in general?

My first album is now available on Vinyl, please help spread the word! Thanks 😎👍

Capcom were waiting for this title…

They should bottle such powerfully repellent odious Musk

I’ve hated Piccalilli since I was a kid. I’m sure my parents remember, but after visiting them for the past couple of days, got on a train back to London, opened the sarnie they’d made for me to see a ton of it in there. Tastes like uranium. I ate it to be polite, saw flashing colours, passed out

I re-read Hardball Wonderland and The End of The World recently, in preparation for this coming out. I felt like it had changed a lot in the nearly 20 years since I read it, the changes are probably with me though.
Today I will start The City and its Uncertain Walls. Thank you for both Murakami-san

I salute you. More people need to say this more frequently if we are going to stem the soulless tide of AI ‘art’.
