No jokes: Mickey Mania on the Megadrive had like an old granny spider boss that little me could not cope with.

Pretty sure you actually just walked right and beat it or something in hindsight, but young me just couldn't get that, was in full fight or flight mode.
What was the first video game that scared you?

It doesn't have to be a horror game. Maybe you didn't even play it -- plenty of ads freaked me out as a kid.

Sungazer last night is heavy favourite for gig of the year. 10/10 musicians but also mad fun vibe and plenty of crowd participation that wasn't annoyingly forced.

Gutted these shorts and t-shirts combos weren't at the merch stand tho

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.

Finally finished a playthrough of DW Origins, and I do not get how people are loving it. Probably just a different perspective of people who liked the old ones, but this feels worse than pretty much any iteration I can remember (I skipped 9 cos I could tell that was doodoo from the get go)

Outdoor gigs in Scotland, a good idea? When the rain stays off aye

Geordie Greep's band is 10/10, could do with another album of material but all great musicians. Was not expecting the jazz-ish equivalent of Slipknot with 2 drummers and percussion

Getting some Greek scran before a gig and the place seems to be playing Greek rap metal or something, I'm down

Dr. Who is a terrifying premise. Don't like the idea of an alien that can go any where any time but still chooses to mostly hang out with the British.

Last year I had a bit of a personal challenge to listen to more new (to me) bands and artists. Ended up being a very metal centric year but definitely enjoyed it. This year I've been trying to do the same but broaden it to other genres, but despite music being more available than ever [cont.]

Forgot to add to the gig list on Wednesday, but went to see Chat Pile then and they were immense 🤘 Even QMU's crumby sound mix murdering the vocals couldn't stop it being great. The man had a surprisingly deep knowledge of Scottish cinema too 🧐

I think if an FGC person makes a post about "Previous game in my series of choice is better than the newest release"
You should be forced to show you actively compete/ run tournaments for the older game since its so good. Or else we get to blow you up for being corny.

Yes, EDINBRAWL IV has reached the cap of 150 entrants.

“A.I. makes art accessible.” Art has always been accessible. There was like a six month period where I drew all the sketches for my comics with a lined notebook from the grocery store and a random green marker.
