I appreciate Metroid 4 reminding me of how to use the psychic bombs each time I need to use one as otherwise I'd completely forget they're there.

Much like the many 3rd party Star Wars LPs that littered the discount rack in our local Woolies in the late '70s I would soon also fall under the spell of any record that hinted at a Space Invaders connection. It was a confirmed sale if they actually had invaders on the cover.

It's a daft character and I loathed him being in Shang-Chi, upstaged by a flying footstool but hell, I could watch Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery all day long. Wonder Man is surprisingly entertaining.

Please, may I open that can of worms?
TFA: Work paid for the whole company to go and see it and I remember coming out utterly deflated. Thought it was just awful.
TLJ: Enjoyed this more but its worst bits were far worse than anything in TFA.
TROS: I remember actually enjoying this in the cinema.

Lode Runner - well, it's more of a overall concept than an actual character, I guess.

R.I.P. Sal Buscema. For me, one the quintessential silver/bronze age Marvel artists. It was always about the story and not him. I wouldn't search out the books he was on but I was usually glad when I read one he'd done.

Would I miss it if the internet disappeared tomorrow? Of course but I'd also vote for it to go.

TBH, my mind keeps reading it as 'Cruella Braverman has defecated to Reform' and I'm really not making any effort to try and read it otherwise.

I get letters from HMRC. They usually have my name and NI number on them yet when I try and log into my page on the gov website it says my details don't match their records and after three tries I'm locked out. Oh, for goodness sake. Really?

Couldn't add paracetamol to an order this morning because, apparently, Experian (whom I've never had any dealings with) thinks I'm not old enough or some other guff. Heaven knows what other spurious info about me is floating around out there.

Why have a Board of Peace when you've got the UN? Surely it's not a blindly obvious attempt to replace it with something that the dumpster gets to control (and make a nice little billion or ten on the side)? After all, it's not like the logo even looks similia... oh.

Davos delegates falling over themselves to hear what demented word salad the cheeto stain has to offer up is really quite depressing.

After the chummy nonsense of Reggie and the loveliness of Satoru Iwata I'm not sure I like a Nintendo with faceless head honchos. I couldn't even tell you who's in charge at NoJ nowadays.

Just to assure you all that I've not yet received my invite to be on the Dumpster's Board Of Peace™. Probably because they know I'm not likely to stump up their $1b grift after three years. Think of all the games and comics I could buy with that.

Found an old '70s Hulk sticker today. Thought I'd share.

Had another bout of ‘wish I had somewhere to set up an old micro’ today. TBH, it beats anxiety about paying bills.

What better way to start a Friday than with a real video game. None of yer fancy, shamancy, cozy narrative nonsense. I particularly like how they describe other levels 'cos I ain't never getting past wave 1.

I draw a pretty mean average cartoon.
Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.
I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.
No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at
Is anyone brave eniough? 👀
