Wow! There are suddenly a lot of you! To the thousand or so new followers I’ve gained in a day, hi! Great to meet you!

In case you didn’t know, I do silly lore videos on the internet, occasionally make dumb let’s plays with friends & people have apparently decided to call me “lore daddy.”
Holy Based!
“FUCK AI” is turning into a movement.

After his Frankenstein Q&A at the Chinese Theater, Guillermo del Toro asked the audience to scream “FUCK AI.”

Almost thought that was a continuous “Aiat” for a second there…

Little bit of hope that I enjoyed. Soteria and Astraea potentially reuniting is a titanic movement of forces in Destiny’s world. It could lead to anything from a council of intelligences to a new Warmind.

Best of all. It’s just a good thing happening to two characters that deserve it.

Just… gotta bang my head against this wall until it works.

Feeling uninspired. I think I needed time off years ago and I’ve never felt like I can take a break for long enough.

But, there’s nobody who’s gonna do it if I don’t. So I shall return to writing.

No sympathy pls. I just need coffee.

Love to see it. 🔥
Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

I’m stepping back from the other site. You can all still reach me here though.

I’ve not had genuine discussions in the other place without someone coming in with a bad faith take or being generally awful.

Not so here.

I have like 1/30th of the followers here. But I vastly prefer you lot.

Seeing the change of that degree to final boss for epic raid is wild.

Not just a different kind of encounter but the kind of encounter that we’ve genuinely never seen before.

Wasn’t sure if I should expect new narrative for this but it’s there too! I’ll cover that when I can!

So like… they kinda cooked with Epic Raid no?
September 28, 2025 at 12:58 AM
See you all later this evening 👀
🚨 HEADS UP
This Friday, September 26th @mynameisbyf.bsky.social

Apologies if content is a little thin on the ground at the moment. I am hitting the burnout stage of things and I think I need time to recharge.

That and a bunch of IRL nonsense is happening to make skies a little more grey.

Just need some time to make things ok.

Me after playing the main story in Destiny Rising:

“Man… it’s impressive what they did with this.”

Me when anyone who’s a random unnamed character voiced by AI speaks:

“You know… I take it back. They had it right in Dune where they outlawed AI…”

Hey gang. I small note. I messed up with the schedule. I was meant to be streaming tomorrow and not today.

Totally my bad.

We’ll be live with stuff tomorrow.

Take a doggo picture or two as an apology
September 17, 2025 at 7:15 PM
Quick change of plans for stream today gang! Team Maurice wants to do some 5 Feat Raid practice so we’re going to mix D Rising and D 2.

Rest of the schedule should be unchanged.

Stream starts in an hour and a half or so!

Quietly adding more layers of existential dread to life as I see Poland’s air defense were tested by Russia last night..

Ok... I get it. It's a nice time for an event. More good loot with my Tanks vs Brings pls.

Slowly coming to terms with the probability that I’m gluten intolerant.

I walked through town the other day and was looking to grab a bite to eat. Everything we eat has wheat. It was like watching joy evaporate before my eyes…
