+ fair warning… this is unlikely the last words you will read or hear from me on the subject of this scene. 👀

Late last year I interviewed a host of folks from one of my greatest loves… ‘The DIY Arcade scene’ for Issue 5 of @apwot.bsky.social This week the weighty and lovingly designed issue dropped through the letterbox…

I love my TWSBI eco and endorse this message

unsolicited recommendation: if you are going to buy a fountain pen and you don't already own a lot of fountain pens - you should get a TWSBI Eco. satisfying to refill, comes in lots of colours, doesn't dry out easily, writes well. mine cost about £40.

in other shockingly self suffient news I successfully diagnosed and replaced a broken window handle/ lock this week. I feel so powerful this year in an incredibly low level and practical way.

Tomorrow! West Midlands adjacent folks! I made a felt flag and everything … because roller banners are a scourge upon this earth… and because I love a good bit of procrastination crafting.

honestly the sight of him grabbing the thing and then just hoofing it wholesale in the wrong direction. He sat on the floor in shame/a sulk for the rest of the puzzle

Hello. I changed the pressure valve in the espresso machine today. I feel that I deserve a certificate and special badge to celebrate. Specially as the machine did not, A. Blow up B. Electrocute me When I turned it back on.

whilst I appreciate that the months of the gregorian calendar are different lengths there is one fact I’ve known since I was a child. It is always September, but it is never August.

Those mornings when the moon is still up in the sky. They’ve just finished their night shift but they’ve decided to sit at the counter for a coffee to catch up with the sun before they head off home.

Roo and I got caught in a biblical downpour. As I now aim the hairdryer in her direction, the many people who have experienced the energy of a “wet dog” will understand why I am also shouting the words of an exorcism. “SATAN… I COMMAND THEE TO RELEASE YOUR HOLD ON YHIS CHILD”

eventbrite.co.ukLet's Go Indie!An evening of playful insights about indie game development from Milktooth, the new studio behind the highly anticipated game Bad Magpie

I’m so angry about Jason Arday. A name I did not know a week ago. But each time I’d open the news someone had a headline with his photo and each time I’d ask why on earth it was news let alone front page news. I can’t think of a time I and so many folks watched a person be harassed to death.

I know I’m far from alone in stating that the UK press have blood on their hands - but it’s not just the right wing press and telegraph, the guardian and various left wing sites joined in too. Just angry and sad and no idea what to do with it.

bless her, Roo was so well behaved at the eclipse yesterday. It was super busy on the common and she did not bark at a single person. so many folks kept trying to catch her eye and call her over though. i take pride in overhearing folks whisper about how cute she is.

this is one of those annoying vague posts... we had good news about a videogame heritage project that has been on hiatus for a while. We'll be breathing new life into it with a host of absurdly great collabrators this Autumn. I've this low level rumbling of excitement as things slowly spool up

And this is all aside from that Other game scene history project I've spoken to a few of you about on the QT that is also moving forwards. ...just lots of good low level rumbles of excitement about project's I'm super lucky to be able to work on.

Nothing could quite prepare me for how many colanders I’ve seen today. I’ve seen the colanders of friends and strangers. Online and off. In the streets and in the fields Never again will I live through a day with so many colanders in it.

There’s a distinct lack of photos of everyone’s Blue Peter pinhole eclipse viewers on here today. I want to see and judge your attempts as well as your cereal choices.
