I still really want to see @mattgrayy.es’s made-up painting of a donkey

My one (UK) can be a bit over-eager when people are cooking but it’s not too hard to make it stop beeping and I’d rather have it this way than have it fail to notify me of an actual fire

I’m gonna hold off on listening to the whole thing until all the episodes have come out but The Chariot Race is one hell of a cue

The toy orchestra from Child’s Play was excellent

I once said “monopoly” with the emphasis on the third syllable so it rhymed with “slowly”

Kirby games are easy because the developers didn't want to be mean to Kirby

It really was astonishingly poor, from Wayne Gretzky pronouncing every other country wrong to the commentator talking over every single interview with the sound mixed so you couldn't either of them properly, culminating with the Head Village Person calling it the FIFA Cup

That means a LOT, thank you 😁

Lost Ship is the track that hooked me onto FTL and by extension the rest of your work so I couldn’t resist having a little jam to the new version. Gave me an excuse to practice in G# minor as well

Are the two New Year episodes both with the same guests or are we getting ten non-comedians this time round?

I’d describe it as retro sensibilities with modern production values, the spirit of games from the 90s with none of the tech limitations

I think that would be like a Bond villain’s volcano lair

As long as it hasn’t been trained on the work of uncredited, uncompensated people who weren’t even asked for permission, and doesn’t drain a lake every time it’s used then sure

As someone who is all too familiar with being mightily troubled by a looseness, under those circumstances time can be SHORT and you take what you can get

It feels like that would mean everyone even slightly north or west of London would be sent somewhere else

Casino Royale came out 19 years ago so idk if that counts as “just had”. I do agree with the point that origin stories are massively overdone in general though

Lost Ship got me hooked on your music and then Curious Merchandise convinced me to follow this career path as well. Can't stress enough how much of an influence you've had on me

By which time I will be arriving in Mark’s drawing of a wizard (or as most people call it, West Berlin)

I just worked out how to have my DAW make all new tracks a different colour and it’s great

I think what annoys me most is how unaware they seem to be that they were mainly elected simply because they're not the Tories, and yet seem bent on enacting some of the Tory-est policies I've ever seen (institutionalised transphobia comes to mind).

So Sam’s a lot greyer in the beard in this video than he was during Season 1, so I think it must have been the first day of the season. Which, from the colour of the tie, seems to have been Crowd Control. Pretty sure there’s more seasons to come.

I’ve started getting into Call of Cthulhu recently and Dark Window is a big part of the playlists I use
