The sales page for my book 81 Jokes For The ZX81 now has a preview of some the pages as people were asking "hang on, what are we getting here?" spelk.press/gb/products/...

The point of concept art is not to translate the perfect idea in Peter Molyneux's head onto paper. It's to come up with a BETTER idea than what is in Peter Molyneux's head because he's not necessarily a brilliant visual artist

NEW: Remedy's latest game, Control Resonant, is filled with art galleries. The galleries are filled with real art When I began talking to Remedy about it, I was delighted to discover who the artists are: many are the game developers' parents My story... www.gamefile.news/p/control-re...

Pie Warehouse sounds amazing though

Currently working on the image upload stuff for my CMS, which is only around a year late (look, it’s been a weird year)

calm down

I’m sure Apple will manage to make the Duo reasonably robust, but we get 5-7 years of daily use out of each iPhone between us (then becomes a test device) & none have ever broken, there’s no way it’s getting anywhere near that

Just noticed that in one of the Crisp Sandwich Day photos someone posted you can see my hands gesturing to explain something while the person next to me looks like they’re dozing off

the UK has the loosest gambling laws in Europe and let me tell you: this is one of the things that is killing every. thing. else. property greed is the other. but gambling is destroying high streets, areas, social cohesion; if you don't live in an area infested with slot arcades you don't get it

trying this "tiny computer" app on my duo, and it's such a fun idea. yet i've also never felt more attacked. this whole app is nerd bait. this was created by someone who has never used any of these computers once but has a claude subscription. type 'paint' to launch a drawing GUI on my c64. c'mon.

hellraiser: revival is truly the most perverted, revolting mainstream game in existence, and that’s precisely why i think it could save video games before big dogs like xbox ruin them 😇 kotaku.com/hellraiser-r...

Really pleased to start my first day as Senior Content Editor for Ballon d’Or!

Jojo’s thrashing the hell out of the toy I got her in London (it’s a cauldron with an eyeball creature that can be stuffed in it)

There was this time Cleveland did a balloon release event and the tv news portentously declared "the Mistake on the Lake no more!" and then when the wind turned unexpectedly, the balloonfall became a disaster and the airport shut down and there were fatalities. Anyway this event has now been outdone

Hey Gemini what is my kid's name and what does she look like, I'm at her school play and I can't figure out which one it is

🥪 We’ve just done the final site update for #CrispSandwichDay 2026, that’s a wrap/sandwich vole.wtf/crisp-sandwi...

Romulus was a bit of a greatest hits remix like The Force Awakens, & had one unforgivably stupid line of dialogue, but the cast was good and it did feel like an entertaining fresh start Whereas Covenant was rather dreary & pointless filmstories.co.uk/news/alien-r...

Incredible work from HappyToast as ever

I should probably make a map for next year so countries can be ticked off

Already some amazing crisp sandwich pics on here & Mastodon, see @vole.wtf to browse the reposts

It’s even OK to call it a “chip sandwich” if you really must

People forget that back in the 90s, kids weren't on the computer all the time, they didn't have cell phones. Instead they watched the Beethoven dog movies

Happened to glance upwards, saw the sign, burst out laughing

Disappointed; maybe next year?

Slightly unsettling start to the day when I couldn’t get into my hosting (turns out they’ve had a problem & reset all the passwords)

A busy Crispmas Eve yesterday, thanks to all who came to celebrate! We go again today from 1pm. #CrispSandwichDay

Viscerally upset by the Beth Upton stuff. They won't be satisfied until they have hounded a woman – who the tribunal explicitly found had done nothing wrong – to her death. Btw the "incident" in Australia is that a patient worried she *might* be forced to be treated by her. She of course wasn't.

This seems like a big deal

Before pneumatic tires became standard equipment, inventors really thought hard about how to get a softer ride. Here's the Peugeot Lion from 1892.

Another place to celebrate tomorrow, this one’s west London

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

oh COME ON can we not at least have a weekend off broccoli2shell.com
