  • I didn’t make it through all of S1 of Invincible (though I’ve read the comic a couple of times and really wanted to like it), but at one point during a conversation William had two mouths because they pasted the open mouth over the closed one and didn’t have it in the right position.

    I also noticed in S1 of Gen V during a fight scene you could literally see the seam around characters’ faces where they’d been stuck on the stunt actors, so after that I just assume anything from Amazon made recently is going to be sloppy. That was probably the least of Gen V’s problems though.




  • The other day I finished The Two Towers, it was great. Right after that I binged all of Skin Game (Dresden Files 15) in one day which has been my favourite in the series since the first time I read it.

    Now I’m just cleaning up a couple of random things I’ve had on the backburner, then it’s Return of the King, Peace Talks and Battle Ground as soon as possible so that I can get to Twelve Months.

    Other than that, I’ve picked up my The Wise Man’s Fear audiobook again now that I’m working out regularly again because it was my gym noise back in… wow late 2024. Time flies.

    Apparently Michael G Manning’s latest book came out a couple of weeks ago too, but I haven’t had any luck finding it for some reason, no idea what’s happening there 🤷‍♂️


  • Same, I have a couple of extensions to fix youtube. No ads, no shorts, no recommendations, no autoplay, no “most relevant” whatever the fuck yt thinks that means, then keyword filters and auto-hide played videos. The subs tab is just unwatched stuff from the people that interest me.

    When it becomes too hard to keep up with fixing all of the shit they break each update to try to make free users’ experiences worse, I’ll leave before letting them push anything on me I don’t ask for.





  • I just took 2 wonderful weeks off and played about 160 hours combined of Transport Fever 2 (city builder but without the city-building that only focuses on logistics), FOUNDRY (voxel Satisfactory), Teddy’s Haven (cosy fantasy shop sim) and Bobo Bay (basically Chao garden from Sonic Adventure 2 that someone finally made into a standalone game).

    Less than two hours into my first shift back I was already utterly miserable, and now 90 minutes after that I’m just… burned out. I guess it’ll be back to Pokémon after this because I won’t have the mental bandwidth for much else. Just gotta win the lotto!
