The Xbox Series X came close but a. is too tall and b. no one has ever seen one and I'm pretty certain it doesn't exist.
A photo of a black xbox series x console with a controller, a big rectangular cube shaped thing that is sadly too tall to fix global economic trends.

Clearly all the problems with modern society are due to the absense of perfect cube based video game consoles since the Gamecube was discontinued and I for one would like to thank Valve for reversing this depressing trend.
A photo of the new, black and very cube shaped steam machine console thing sat on a wooden table. A controller, a screen and a players hand can be seen to the left of it. Also there are little mario looking mushroom models next to it for some reason so I think Nintendo might sue.

Hey folks! My latest video, examining if the Roman's attempt to conquer Ireland, is now live over on youtube! We had a lot of fun making this one on location over in Anglesey and Ireland so I hope you all enjoy it!

The thumbnail for my latest youtube video 'Did the Romans Invade Ireland?' featuring artwork by Ettore Mazza of the Roman general Agricola stood on a cliff in Anglesey and staring across the sea towards Ireland. The general is a man with short brown hair wearing roman military gear and a red cloak.

Just randomly went to my youtube front page and err WTF IS THIS RECOMMENDATION???
A screenshot of a youtube thumbnail for a video titled '2 Hours of German WW2 Officer to Help you Study/Work/Focus' from the channel Radical Living. The guy in the thumbnail is very obviously a nazi wearing a full nazi uniform and decked out in nazi regalia.

A thumbnail for an upcoming livestream I'm going to be on later today titled 'Ten Enigmatic Ancient Cultures'. In the foreground are two white men with beards, one wearing a brown hat and a grey t-shirt with the text 'Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks' written on it, whilst the other is hatless and wearing an anorak. In the background is a depiction of a Japanese Jomon neolithic village.

As annoying as I find CK3's habit of regularly bricking your active saves when a major update hits, it did lead to this hilarious situation where the game randomly gave almost the entirely of east Asia to the King of England (who was my tributary at the time).
A screenshot of the game CK3 showing that the newest update that added East Asia to the game randomly gave most of its territory to England.

Tricked a friend into letting me show them Disco Elysium not because I think its a great game but actually because I want an excuse to spend more time with my loved ones 🙂

Specifically Kim.

Finished the Pathologic 3 demo and sad to report that Dankovsky is a lobster guy 😔
A screenshot of a Pathologic 3 demo conversation where one of the option is for Dankovsky to say 'Well... actually, some animals, like lobsters, don't undergo aging and death. But they can still be killed by external forces.'

Also here's a mini painted recently i guess.
A pretty much done shot of a warhammer snotling pump wagon (wooden wagon with blades haphazardly bolted to it) that I'm currently painting. The wagon is painted in brown, metal and red shade and it now has a ton of little green goblin looking guys perched all over it. The base looks like brown craggy rock and has small green plants on it.

Working on editing some more on camera footage and just now beginning to realise how much grey I have appearing in my hair
A photo of me (white male with brown hair and a beard) in a grassy field. My head is turned to the side so you can see the greys starting to appear.

Going through footage I filmed for my current project and discovered that with facial hair my resting face looks perpetually annoyed.
A photo of me (white maleish person with brown hair and facial hair) wearing a grey raincoat. I'm in a field surrounded by grass with the sea in the background. There is an island in the distance.

This person chose to direct this at someone who made nearly 3 hours worth of Pathologic videos, might as well be saying the sky is blue.

Bought some old metal LOTR minis off eBay and I feel like by stripping them down and repainting them I'm destroying the childhood of whatever kid had a go at painting them originally.
