Exactly and the Empire might skimp on safety railings but toilets are too much of a necessity. Can't have all that white armour getting dirty.

Brilliant and so far so great. That is quite the praise! Can't wait to hear more. It is a highlight every fortnight when a new episode drops.

It is soooo good.

I think it is a reasonable number. Given how few toilets there are in general in Star Wars.

Long commute means podcast time and I have just caught up on @forcemajeurepod.bsky.social and this season is great. I am really enjoying it so far.

It is for the best. No one needs more of that.

It shows! He definitely would be. I am just very glad the Emperor is finally, definitely, permanently dead and gone.

And I am very excited for that too. The way the galaxy is set up for the campaign sounds fantastic and makes so much sense.

I think I saw it twice in cinema in part because I didn't want to believe it was as bad as it was.

Understandably so. The only Star Wars movie I don't own

Thoroughly enjoyed it was a fantastic start. Also loved the Session 0 and the Rise of Skywalker rant, which I agree with.

This was a damn good start to the new season of @forcemajeurepod.bsky.social Really looking forward to getting more of this story and characters.

It was a hell of a bang!

A change of pace is probably good given the ending. It never ends. I am excited for the start of the next season. Also love the new name!

It is a tough one to follow but excited to see how you do it.

08.02.2026 11:53 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

It most certainly was not. I was not expecting that at all. Great way to end it though.

Finally caught up on the Mecha Hack game this week from @forcemajeurepod.bsky.social thoroughly enjoyed and what an ending!

In just under a week, season 9 of Force Majeure starts! As I'm a little bit behind with my promo posts, let's get things going, starting with our season banner reveal!

a man is standing in front of a wall that says fandango movieclips on the bottom Alt: The character of Daniel Jackson in the Stargate movie stepping through the Stargate

Caught up on Fallout season 2 tonight and it is very good. However I have made the mistake of hitting play on the Stargate movie and now I am wholly invested even though I have seen it so many times already.

Boooo to that. Fingers crossed it will. Nothing like a bit of Lego building to keep that festive cheer.

Excellent and a great way to unwind before facing back into work!

That looks like a fun set to build!

Haha I get that. I do need to rearrange my ships now and get the Starship Collection ones all in one space. They are easy to place anywhere so are kind of dotted throughout the house.

Oh no. A Lego day is a good day. So far this is a nice little kit that won't take up too much space. Only four bags though so won't take too long. The 3PO might take up a bit more space alright.
