Hello! I'm John (Some people call me Ed - don't ask). I'm passionate about looking at social history through old media. Expect forgotten TV shows, movies, game shows, random physical VHS finds. We also play video games, old and new.

I bloody love this game. Especially when we go past the normal player limit!

IT'S HERE. The video that took over 40 hours to edit, seven streamers, three views, and a whole lot of chaos.

PREPARE FOR DRAMA!!

ANOTHER schedule update and a bit of a behind the scenes explanation.

I'm in a slightly better place now after what I can only describe as a meltdown from bottling everything up. Flora has been extremely supportive. This weekend was pretty much a write off because I couldn't do a thing.

Yep. Thankfully I've only had the issue once. And that was because I wanted to see a game page where you throw dildos at pigeons. As you do.

John Lindsay @oddtrots.com · 6d

Same. You need to add a credit card to verify your age as debit cards don't guarantee you're 18 or over. They seem to think every adult will have one.

It has to be a credit card, not a debit card.

I get you. It's easier to give advice than take it.

This is why I try to make an environment on my streams to escape this mess - something I'm grateful for as not everyone can.

Because if I don't remember the positives, I hyperfocus on everything bad in the world. I'm not saying I ignore it - because it would be wrong to pretend everything is fine.

John Lindsay @oddtrots.com · 8d

Sorry. I tend to keep this out of social media, but people are dying daily because of others fighting for control and their own gains. And NOBODY is truly intervening for peace.

John Lindsay @oddtrots.com · 8d

I guess it's easier to paint roundabouts, shoot neighbours, bomb people you've never met before, suppress peaceful speech and promote hateful content. Capitalists ignore it all as long as their stocks are up. And religious groups weaponising faith - something that should bring hope, not hate.

I'm so fucking sick of humanity. Everyone seems to pick a side and force a divide with hate. Innocent lives are being taken daily. For what? Nobody wants to seek reason or understanding of one another. Nobody wants to seek peace and unity. Nobody wants to talk unless it's for money and/or power.
