I remember seeing her videos a few times years back. Thought they were complete shit (and I don't say that lightly.)

The one that tore it for me was where she angrily declared she'd be voting UKIP over a completely nonsensical non-issue. She's an utter moron.

I'll take 'they made a calculated move to piss people off just coz' for £50 please, Robb.

All I'm saying is, nobody's buying that you found that copy of Metroid Prime just laying in your driveway one day.

To your credit, the £1.99 sticker is genuine, so at least you're not in the realm of 'I found this first party Nintendo game for three quid in Barnados, that post-it note price tag is 100% legit, so my wife can't divorce me.'

Lee Anderson is that rare breed of human who wakes up in the morning with his personality dial wedged firmly at the 'hateful' setting.

I honestly think he's mentally ill. It's not normal to spout the kind of bullshit he does so easily.

Hang in there, man. I know full well that some days, when life decides to clobber you, it clobbers you HARD.

G'm glad to know you, glad to call you a friend, and sincerely hoping for much better days ahead for you.

Hang on a sec - I may be citing out of date info here, as it's a while since I checked. But doesn't YouTube require a video to be watched for more than 30 seconds before it counts as a view?

That whole exchange could only have been improved by one of them saying "I'm just stepping outside. I may be gone for some time."

This gave me a much needed belly laugh today. Thank you!

That's a great colour scheme! Really looks like it was pulled from the pages of 2000AD.

Absolutely awesome publisher!

Doomed Colonist @doomedcolonisthde.bsky.social · 4d

I think you're going to love it. I remember the first time I cracked the book open, I was blown away by how much was actually in it. Most of the supplementary books are well worth picking up as well. They do a lot to broaden the setting and plant some cool ideas for adventures.

Doomed Colonist @doomedcolonisthde.bsky.social · 4d

These guys have offered some of the best showcases for your games imaginable. This and their Pendragon sessions are unmissable!

Funny story: back when I was still able to earn a bit from videos, I once titled one to include the words 'not clickbait!' - and it was immediately demonetized. I removed those words, and BAM, instant green dollar sign.

The way thsi stuff works REALLY is stupid. Like it was set up by toddlers.

Doomed Colonist @doomedcolonisthde.bsky.social · 5d

Trick question! The answer to this one is always 'back pain.'

I'll add here:

Transparent full-range overdrives and reverb pedals with dry-kill switches are possibly my new favourite things. Although I realised today just how much I love using ALL of these tools.

The compressor and delay have been with me since my mid 20s!

Doomed Colonist @doomedcolonisthde.bsky.social · 5d

I'm going the wringer a little bit at the moment. Nothing I can't get past, but it's not much fun being right in the middle of it right now.

I had a chance earlier today to sit down and work out an ambient guitar set-up. This kind of thing helps me to clear my brain. Lots of joy to be had here.

A Laney guitar amp head and an assortment of guitar effects pedals on a table. Very pro set-up. 10/10. No notes.

Wasn't 'Defund My Arse' a hit for Toni Braxton?

The products are also more than a bit shit, even if folks aren't troubled by the guy's misdeeds.

Does the guy know she'll pop caps and shank bitches WITHOUT the promise of extra pizza?

Oh, he's TOTALLY gonna show up at your front door at 2:00am with a list of people he needs killed.

That's got to be a great feeling!

Sincerely very eager to get my hands on this one once it goes to retail. I'm going to have to wait a while, as this year's not been kind to my bank balance. But it's at the top of my shopping list!

Doomed Colonist @doomedcolonisthde.bsky.social · 9d

I can't place the name of the band, but I know their greatest hits by heart.

"Can't Get You Off Of My Face" is a banger. And I loved their ballad "You Should Have Listened To The Woman."

Doomed Colonist @doomedcolonisthde.bsky.social · 9d

*SIGH* It's always the good ones who get hurt, innit?

Doomed Colonist @doomedcolonisthde.bsky.social · 10d

It's a large part of why I got out of this scene. it doesn't usually get to me, but there comes a point where you see bad behaviour getting more attention than the actual stuff we're all supposed to be here for.

There are some pig ignorant twats and real drama queens in this space, sadly.
