A Kiwi in Oz. Disappointingly average. Aggressively mediocre. Determinedly unlucky. Individual parts of my life may sound way more interesting than they really were.

That is an amazing version of Puss In Boots. It blew me away!

His shorts are way too tight. It's constricting his legs, making his eyes bug out, and well... emphasising other things too.

New series of #ReturnToParadise and once again I am distracted by Anna Samson's ridiculous cheekbones.

It's been thirty years since you wore glasses, and yet they still represent the quintessential Weird Al.

If you want a fun couple of hours, watch YouTubers first time playthrough of Portal 1 & 2. You'll feel frustrated and triumphant at the same time.

It looks so corporate. It doesn't look inviting and exciting, it looks like an ugly over-designed urban art gallery.

I feel like the main mechanic of Adventure Games, which was exploration and puzzle solving, was present in the 3D shooter/platformer/Myst games, so it was more of an evolution.

I often think about the movie About A Boy, where Hugh Grant was independently wealthy due to his Dad having written the biggest novelty Christmas song in the world, but who hated hearing the song everywhere he went.

If I was him I would suck it up.

Because it happened just before I was born, I grew up when the adults around me were amazed and thrilled by the achievement, while I was unable to grasp the enormity of it and didn't see what the big deal was.

Bluesky, which prides itself on having no algorithm, is introducing an algorithm.

When I dislike something I ignore it, or remove them from my following list. It works perfectly well without insulting anyone.

The house next door is being auctioned. Going for around $765k. Pretty sure whoever buys it will knock it down for redevelopment, it's a decent sized plot for Units.

It's gratifying to know that creepy-looking henchman-types are nice in real life.
