"...then everything went black..."

Hurrah for darkness and adventuring!

I made this after remembering there was a scene in Megalopolis featuring three quotes in a row (spoken out loud, ome after the other - with citations!), from the techbro's Roman bellend of choice:

An awful prick by the name of Jesse Singal is being horrible on Bluesky, and Bluesky are too fuckwitted to do the decent thing and kick him out. I'm not on Bluesky anymore, so I wrote this

hooray

why is all social media so depressing anyway

Spot the subtle edit.

New article on Blammo:

(The post's on Spectrum covertape games and Neighbours - this post is the start of me expanding what I'm writing about on the blog. I'm also hoping to cover music and stuff as well)

Post by **vom** » Mon Feb 17, 2025 8:12 am

A good read! I feel like my life revolved around monthly cover tapes for years (all C64 for me though, which probably had slightly less of that homebrew weirdness)

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Feb 18, 2025 3:17 pm

Whut Vom said!

And yup, I think there was less of that interesting DIY oddness on the C64 - it was more (in my experience) a cool piece of pixel art plus a cracking SID chip ditty, and that was mainly it.

Another new Blammo article, on a silly record by a bunch of twats:

I've also added an About page, which has a FAQ:

Inspired by something daft I saw (and photographed) in London yesterday. The photos are included in this

Plus this slightly old article from Blammo which I didn't post here for some reason

https://blammo.site/the-actual-special- ... -spectrum/

It's more of a short essay / opinion piece than an article, but there it is... all online and everything

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Thu Jul 03, 2025 4:31 pm

Also I can't recall if I posted this anywhere (apologies if I already did)

Hooray for batman

Excellent things

Post by **endar** » Thu Jul 03, 2025 5:28 pm

Also Michelle, I don't know if you are aware of the twitch streamer Xyphoe. Ashens has probably raided him at some point. Anyway, he has an animated emote called Batfap, which is basically... that

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Thu Jul 03, 2025 11:33 pm

I think I might have seen one of his streams, but never saw the "batfap"!

Wanking Batman is the best Batman. Trufax!

I'll get you for this! I'm still alive!

The article is a real pleasing read, btw! Hurrah!

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Fri Jul 04, 2025 1:36 am

Thank you again! Apologies for the false death assertion...

Possibly my greatest achievement

Some Slightly Crap Photos Of Old Badges

Example:

(Sorry, it's a bit big because it's on my blog)

Post by **dng** » Tue Nov 04, 2025 11:31 am

hooray. i love old badges

Post by **dng** » Tue Nov 04, 2025 11:32 am

i wish i was an old badge

Post by **vom** » Tue Nov 04, 2025 12:00 pm

you could print your face onto a badge

and then simply wait

Post by **dng** » Tue Nov 04, 2025 12:30 pm

My face, and a jaunty corporate slogan

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Nov 04, 2025 1:56 pm

I always wanted one of those badge making machines you used to see in the toys section in Littlewoods catalogues, when I were a lad.

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Nov 04, 2025 1:59 pm

As for the above badges, I certainly remember the Invade Your Library one.

Hurrah for badge photos!

Uh oh! Politics!

Excellent wordage Michelle!

(I knew nowt 'bout this piece of 'art'.)

Post by **dng** » Fri Nov 21, 2025 9:06 pm

The front page of the express (I think) the other day was a picture of four men vaguely smiling in an empty room, with headline “outrage as asylum seekers have party”. Somehow that’s even less depressing than people demanding a mural be removed for being “political, somehow”. And not for being cheap as shit AI ultrapiss

The absolute opposite to my previous post

SHIT SNAKE 3 is an unofficial fan game sequel to both SHIT SNAKE, and SHIT SNAKE 2: SHIT HARDER.

Post by **dng** » Sun Nov 23, 2025 11:08 am

ha, i recently started planning a shit version of snake too (it was going to be a turn based thing called slower constrictor)

Post by **dng** » Sun Nov 23, 2025 11:09 am

but it wouldnt have been as good as this

I have stepped into the bold new world of videos where I'm in front of the camera, showing my face and everything. Here are the links. I look the best in the first one.

Finally fulfilling the prophecy of the thread title

Post by **dng** » Tue Jan 06, 2026 12:25 pm

also hooray. lovely stuff

Post by **dng** » Tue Jan 06, 2026 12:28 pm

also hopefully my small town simulator game will feature a generative shipping forecast nonsense thing (if i ever get round to it, and can make it either funny, clever, or at least evocative in some slight way)

Post by **dng** » Tue Jan 06, 2026 12:29 pm

otherwise i'll have to just steal this because its better

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Jan 06, 2026 8:46 pm

Those be rather good vids, Michelle!

Also - more shipping forecasts need to mention the GoBots vs The Rock Lords, imo.

I laughed a whole load at that!

Also, also - I now wanna LWT t-shirt!

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Wed Jan 07, 2026 7:52 am

I got my LWT T-shirt off of Redbubble. I think this is it: https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Lon ... 6602.IJ6L0

Also this just happened

Unsettling & good!

Due to "events", I have had to severely reduce my online presence. However I have now relaunched my website, and here is the second post. The first post was a photo a friend of mine took of me, in a pub. (Also the old .xyz domain still works, but it just redirects to the new one)

Unsure about anything else but writing going ahead, but we'll see
