Being on an EU-hosted server was part of the appeal for sure, but if I’m being honest I mainly did it out of curiosity to see how the process worked, and to “vote” (for want of a better term) for a more diverse ATprotocol ecosystem

Just completed my move to Eurosky, complete with custom domain handle, and the whole process was amazingly quick, painless, and with (as yet) no change BlueSky’s usability.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Would migrate again

Forget the Lord’s Prayer, fucking Ryan Moloney of all people popped up in my dream last night because of all Matthew’s chat about the moral corruption of Neighbours

100 percent agree, I feel like I'm going mad seeing people bashing Discord or hoping that a new service grows to replace it when any competitor is going to get backed into the exact same corner!

Got told I was “unusual” by an absolutely massive man wearing dungarees in a pub bathroom after he saw me wash my hands prior to using the urinal.

Context: I had just eaten a very greasy burger and wanted to clean my hands before touching my penis and yes, I washed them a second time afterwards.

The cutscenes in MGS1 remake The Twin Snakes were originally far more faithful to the original. But after Kojima saw an early version he fed back that they should be punched up, leading to the Matrix-y bullet time cinematics in the final game

The single dumbest gadget I want to will into existence is an E-Ink Steam Deck so I can read visual novels in bed without blasting screen light at my eyes

You don't even have to be able to do the voice tbh. The only option currently is a Brazilian man with a thick-ass accent

Don't ask me how I know this, but the market for Dominic Toretto impersonators on Cameo is absolutely terrible. Great opportunity for a hench bald guy who owns a pair of sunglasses to absolutely clean up

I've found myself theatrically taking notes when playing video games at my desk for work occasionally, just so people know I'm Taking Things Seriously

Excited to have heard myself mentioned in the latest episode of @backpagepod.bsky.social, thus securing my place in the canon of UK video games journalism as “guy who was excited about the announcement of Metroid Prime 4 at E3 2017”

This looks amazing, congrats on the launch! Is there an option to filter by platform?

Still, nice of Jay Rayner to have reviewed the experience of going on a date with me

“The problem with Mr Porter isn’t just that blurb, which reads like it was written by a horny adolescent lad with no experience of the things it describes, but the contrast with the tedious reality.”
