Loving 1990 day on @6music.bsky.social, although enjoyment somewhat tempered by the realisation that it was Thirty Five Fucking Years Ago.

There's nothing better for mental health than firing up a game that toasted your PC back in the day, and flicking everything up to Ultra just so you can laugh in it's 1,000-frames-per-second face. 😋

You know who would have done a great Spider-Man game? Blast Entertainment.

Radical plan may result in two England-Australia Ashes series every three years England and Australia could play two Ashes series every three years from 2027 onwards under a radical two division plan being considered for Test cricket

"Radical plan" = England, Australia and India to play each other even more often www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j...

Making plans for going out in Drury Lane tonight and am disappointed to remember that Aldwych tube station closed in 1994.
