Clearly all the problems with modern society are due to the absense of perfect cube based video game consoles since the Gamecube was discontinued and I for one would like to thank Valve for reversing this depressing trend.

Genuinely enjoying that its raining really hard today because now I'm the only person out walking my dog and he's less likely to act up if he sees another dog.

Turned things around today from morning depression posting to probably having a script done tomorrow 🙂

Going back to an old badly formatted script I wrote back in 2023 and reading through it thinking 'bitch you used to live like this?'

Ok so I'm pretty certain the fixed English subtitles are now up for this video (the youtube ui for adding subtitles is now confusing and awful due to their push for generative ai dubbing).

More than a little relieved now that the shittest week of the year in the UK is over.
After a week of having to comfort a dog that's extremely scared of loud bangs I just want to say that if you've let off a firework in the UK in the last few days then I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

Woah now that I've finished my Pathologic videos it occurred to me I can rewatch Hbomb's video now without being worried about subconsciously ripping it off.

Memories of plunging my hand deep into the very cold peat to uncover Iron Age wooden planks last seen over 2,000 years ago.

In 1986, I started work on my first archaeology dig at Corlea 1, dated to 148/147 BC. I didn’t know then it would be some of the most spectacular archaeology of my career.
