Just fired up Final Fantasy 8 for a little session and I really think Sorceress Edea’s intro is one of the biggest serves in gaming history 💅🏻✨

I’m storing up all the talkativeness for when you’re back, but it’ll be split three ways in the evening at least 😆

So @drcarpineti.bsky.social is away for the whole weekend and I’m having a relaxing solo dog-dad weekend with Clue (hiding, suddenly camera shy)

A so-so story, I felt it deserved to be a novel rather than a novella - it started tugging at a really exciting story thread and then just left it, as though pointing it out was enough, instead of exploring it in a fun way. It was a neat little start to some Halloween reading, though! #Booksky 🍄📚

Ok, did not expect “The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe” to feel quite so relevant to this moment.

Here’s Edmund, deciding to side with the leader who he’s been told disappears people.

He did want Turkish Delight and to be a prince (and later a king) and to pay Peter out for calling him a beast. As for what the Witch would do with the others, he didn't want her to be particularly nice to them - certainly not to put them on the same level as himself; but he managed to believe, or to pretend he believed, that she wouldn't do anything very bad to them, 'Because,' he said to himself, 'all these people who say nasty things about her are her enemies and probably half of it isn't true. She was jolly nice to me, anyway, much nicer than they are. I expect she is the rightful Queen really. Anyway, she'll be better than that awful Aslan!' At least, that was the excuse he made in his own mind for what he was doing. It wasn't a very good excuse, however, for deep down inside him he really knew that the White Witch was bad and cruel.

OH LOOK. Guess who said about 6, 7ish yrs ago that it felt like they didn’t want teachers anymore, but rather ‘facilitators to learning’ where screens did the teaching & people in the classroom only did behaviour management? Teacher autonomy is basically zero these days as it is, so glad I got out

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I've really come to realise how much influence Final Fantasy 7-10 had on my associations for musical themes, and how they absolutely nailed it every time.

Every time I see snow/winter, my brain goes here.
Every time. ❄

Needed to upgrade my phone for a while, tried today, and Barclays denied my loan request for Apple.

Good credit score, full time job, home owner, mortgage, not to mention having used them for about 15 years, with no missed payments?

Time to jump ship. At least I won’t have to use Barclays! 🚮
