Creating some wallpaper variations of the Designers Republic Wipeout logos that I’ve been recreating throughout the year. Supersized and cropped work well as wallpapers. Lots of appreciation for these logos. Visually simple, technically complex.
@bigbluewolf.bsky.social What would your thoughts be on him running Norwich after his disastrous end with Wolves? I mean, we’ll be lucky to stay in the Championship at this rate, but when I saw he was in contention, my reaction was “Oh FFS”.

Picked up this from Nintendo this week, arrived today: genuine Nintendo Bluetooth SNES controller. Not been in stock for around 18 months, and not paying eBay scalper prices… Felt just like 1992 all over again! Nice playing ‘retro’ titles on ‘original’ hardware…

I love this game so much. I’m **still** wandering around places I’ve never been before. I’ve been near here for a Shrine, but never explored it. Like a new game all over again! May ‘23 I got this, still playing, still love it just as much. #totk #zelda #nintendo #TearsoftheKingdom

True. I don’t love it, but it is the reality check that we spent, for some, 5 years warning them about.
As a teacher I love GCSE results day. It's a formal day of 'fuck around, find out' for so many dickhead students who've been utter tossers for 5 years.

@zeldadungeon.net Well, I received TOTK on UK launch day, and I’ve taken my time to savour as much as possible because you only get to do it for the first time once. I have just taken on and defeated Gannondorf this afternoon… Man, what an *absolutely epic* game this has been…

Just had confirmation that my delivery from Evri has been left on my porch. I sincerely hope they tucked it in the corner first and not just left it in plain site as per their photo…

@mikegmoore.bsky.social I’m guessing you’ve read this article? How many times have we played this and just wandered around doing nothing! Mentally, and now proven, time well spent!

The only version of War of the Worlds that is worth anyone's time, other than the original book, is Jeff Wayne's musical. Even the best of all the films, dramas and radio plays are bad adaptations of the source material. Ice Cube just joined the latest in a long list of failures

Photo dumpy-afternoon. Computer space has transformed a fair bit too. I think my fave. part has to be the box shelf that I built with storage for cables, HD’s etc.

Looking back at photos of our home: come a long way and I’ve learnt a lot over the years. 2016, 2021 & 2025. Quite pleased with how it stands now: just need a new carpet!

Well, another day ruined and BBQ cancelled because of this fucking rain. On the flip side, I’ve finally built my Optimus. Cool little set. Feeling like he needs a Bumblebee…

Well this is probably the best Star Wars spin off of all. Rogue One has been one of my favourite SW films of all, but this absolutely did it justice. Def. worth a watch…

Thoroughly enjoyed the Super Tourers at Brands Hatch last weekend. Some truly iconic Touring Cars, great to see them on track-and blown away by the quality of some of the daily drivers on display in the car clubs.

Nice chilled way to end a busy weekend. 9:53pm, a bit of Prodigy live at Glastonbury just before bed. Nice.

That time of year again… Always falls on Father’s Day too, so no one can tell me I’m not watching it! Just unfortunate for everyone else in the house that there’s some form of Qualifying or Free Practice on pretty much every day up to Race Day 😂

So, we’re going to lose-that’s clear. So, stick Ivan-Toney on and let him get stuck in. Tuchel is doing *nothing* for this squad at the moment, 366 days until the World Cup is not a long time given how disappointing tonight’s performance has been…

Productive day!

Great start to the holiday. Shitty cold, can’t breathe or taste anything, pounding headache and ache all over, and now, one blocked ear with pain all around the side of my head. Apart from that, everything is a-ok.

Nice little Bank Holiday walk this morning to the park, bloody freezing after the pouring rain first thing walking there, too hot and sunny to wear a coat on the way back-only in Britain. And now the heating has just kicked in. Make your mind up! 😂

So warm today, decided we’d get Sausage and Chips from the chippie and sit down the seafront this evening. You could have easily have mistaken it for a summers evening. Bloody lovely, and a nice way to finish the working day (no washing up either 😂).
