Old video games bloke from Newcastle. Definitely Left-leaning and hence increasingly annoyed in these troubled times.

Have yourself a Hieronymus Bosch Christmas.
This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

How do we, as a society, let companies get away with this behaviour?
I am bewildered that this labour of Sisyphus is being carried out by volunteers, while Southern Water, which has admitted responsibility for the catastrophe, is doing nothing to remediate it.
‘We feel we’re fighting a losing battle’: the race to remove millions of plastic beads from Camber Sands
A huge cleanup effort has seen volunteers working to remove beads by hand and machine. They can only wait and see the extent of damage to wildlife and dune habitat

And an affront to human dignity.
A cultural act of war.
Buckle up - because this now amounts to a direct and deliberate attack on our country and its cultural sovereignty. Which side our politicians take - Trump's or the BBC's - over the coming days and weeks will speak volumes about their patriotism.
Trump says he will sue BBC for at least $1bn over Panorama edit
The US president confirmed he intends to sue the broadcaster for at least $1bn over the Panorama edit of a 2021 speech.

Ooh dear, Commodore (Ab)User! The review of C64 Elite in issue 20 reveals it was "not original" because, haven't you heard of Star Raiders (on the Atari, not the C64)?
Star Raiders' reputation intrigued me for years until I played it and found it incomprehensible. What was I missing, Atari fans?

Big day for my friends at Three Fields Entertainment! After 5 years Wreckreation launches on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. It's a funny, fast, FAFO open world driving game with racing, crashing and building your own mad stunt tracks online. And I helped a little bit.

25 years @alexjward.bsky.social!
It's been 25 years?!
SONY PlayStation 2 released 25 years ago today, October 26th 2000 in North America.
What else can I say other than the PS2 is one of the greatest and most important consoles in the history of video games. There's simply no debating that.
The PS2 is legendary. Period.

Wow, I suddenly REALLY want to go to John Menzies next to Monument Station in Newcastle and buy a Spectrum game.
I'm like a Vietnam veteran having a flashback, but in a good way.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

#OTD 45 years ago (7 Oct 1980) according to my diary, I drew these images for the Hitchhiker's Guide BBC TV series. Douglas Adams as both the ad exec and as Paula, the worst poet in the universe. I was 19 years old and having fun.

Being @geordiegamer.bsky.social comes with certain responsibilities. Today I had a dose of James Bolam in this great old BBC doco then came the John Woodvine news. Both from south of the river, but their roles in When The Boat Comes In make them both part of Geordie history. youtu.be/2si49AFf_AU?...
