Slightly less random today as I'm packing for my flight to Japan next week and want something fun and light-hearted to play while travelling. #RandomGameSaturday

Dutch copy of Lego Lord of the Rings for the PS Vita. Aragon is trying to look intimidating, but it's hard when you're a Lego mini figure.

ZW Veluweroedel vorig jaar. Het bestond uit 19 dieren. Nu zijn er daarvan, voor zover ik er zicht op heb, nog 3 in het territorium aanwezig. De rest is verongelukt, gedood door andere wolven, Europa ingetrokken, of “verdwenen”. Dus cijfertjes over aantallen en zo zijn ook maar momentopnames.

Seeing comparisons between her and Thatcher and as a Brit I can only read that as an insult and warning.

just a reminder that bandcamp friday is tomorrow & streaming services are interrupting music streams with ai generated shit, flooding the database with artists that don't exist in any way other than profiting the platform owners

so instead of paying a monthly fee, buy an album or two each month ok

Hey everyone. I’ll be honest, I’ve run out of rope on this “being a writer” business, to the point where my site either takes off, now, or I start applying for whatever local shop/cleaning jobs are available. This isn’t a “threat”, just an honest statement of where I am. Sorry.

because stuff always works like this when you're a one-man band, obviously it's only now that Alien:Earth is finished I'm finally getting chance to remake the moulds for our Xeno:Morph kit. He's back in the shop as a pre-order, anyway!

model of Morph from Take Hart only he's got an elongated phallic head, dorsal tubes and spiked tail like Giger's Big Chap from Alien.

I enjoy a well-thought-out, rule-based magic system in fiction as much as anyone, BUT I also think that we should give more props to what Terry Pratchett did in the Discworld books, where it was less about rules and more about vibes and, more importantly, what fit a given story the best.

Big guys: What's wrong with you?

Little Guy: Nothing is wrong with me. I'm Autistic.

Tezuka & Ishinomori both died at 60. Mizuki (the creator of GeGeGe no Kitarō) died at 93. I think about this a lot.

No cheating: post your lock screen

A photo of a signpost amidst bushes. The sign post is dark green and old fashioned looking. On its pole is a ladybug. Above the sign a grinning Totoro can be seen. The sign reads Ghibli Museum Mitaka, 300 metres. A yellow arrow after 300 metres points to the right.

#RandomGameSaturday and I reached into my PC games shelf to find one of the first games I ever bought. Still love this one. ^^

A CD jewel case which contains the game Tomb Raider featuring Lara Croft. The front features Lara in a blue tank top with her arms outstretched holding two guns. The print quality of the cover isn't great and you can see the dots. It's very much a cheap release.
