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

New article on Blammo:

https://blammo.site/an-obscure-video-ga ... e-history/

(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)

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)

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.

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

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

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

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

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
