Celebrating secret book stuff with an overdue haircut

Very excited to announce that I am at the “I am involved in something cool that I can’t tell you about for another 18 months” stage of a book project. *mysterious author screaming ensues*

So many possibilities - finding Yorda on the beach in Ico, Nier: Automata Ending E, 17 missed calls in Life Is Strange: Before the Storm, Alice beginning to forget in Spiritfarer - but the final half hour of Death Stranding wins. I cried so hard I couldn't see the screen.

It only took forty years to get an adaptation of (imo) one of King's best. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAtU...

We lost Starcadian. Fuck. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyO-...

STORY TIME. Way back when I was a spotty teen, I loved PC Zone magazine. It was nerdy but also laddish and uncouth, and readers could write in and insult one of the editors in the hopes that he'd insult them back. So, I did.

*me in a yr9 classroom, head in my hands* Look I know you’re 15 and curious about everything and you have no filter but you can’t just ask a teacher, “Sir, are you wasian?”

Okay *now* the package inspection vibe is actually feeling much better for our cozy game restoration game. In this screen you can inspect packages to get clues on what sort of game is inside it. If you're looking for a puzzle game to complete a quest, you may see labels #cozygame #indiegame #unity

'The realm of Sauron is ended!' said Gandalf. 'The Ring-bearer has fulfilled his Quest.' And as the Captains gazed south to the Land of Mordor, it seemed to them that, black against the pall of cloud, there rose a huge shape of shadow, impenetrable, lightning-crowned, filling all the sky.

ABC analyst: "Victorian Liberals keep finding new ways to fail" Liberal HQ, Brisbane: so empty of celebration that they can't get vox pops Dutton's own seat in doubt this is honestly the greatest gift 2025 could've brought

Reminder that if you'd enjoy an evening of delicious schadenfreude, you can tune in to the live Sky News Australia election feed from 6pm onwards and watch their presenters melt down

Dead serious images from today's Australian election: a voter dressed as a tomato sauce bottle budgie smugglers most crucial: the sausage

Making a man pick between One Nation, Family First or Trumpet of Patriots as his last preference for the senate is diabolical.

And so begins the slow march towards a democracy sausage

If you think I'm being dramatic re: Australian voting, for your consideration: the virgin US Presidential ballot paper VS the chad Australian Senate ballot

I miss 2007, when all I had to do was walk into a booth and choose between the Libs (no) and Labor (yes) versus today when I need to hedge my vote between 11 socialist micro-parties while building a 78-stage flow chart to ensure my preferences don’t end up being handed to a nazi

Spent months tearing my hair out over why I never have ANY disc space no matter how much I delete, so I used a proper analyser and… 30GB in old Unity installs? Okay, that’s on me. But 22GB in hidden .part download files? 136GB of cached data in an invisible media analysis folder? macOS, the fuck?

My novelisation of the #doctorwho episode 'The Well' comes out on July 10, but you can preorder it now. www.penguin.co.uk/books/469656...

Here we go again with another r/fantasy Bingo sheet! I think this'll be my fifth year?

it pains me to hand it to him

In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, if squad banter is interrupted by combat, your team members will pause until enemies are dead and then resume with context?!? “Ah, before we were so rudely interrupted. What were we discussing?” “The Mournwatch, I believe. Blah blah…” Goddamn, that’s cool.

Did not expect this to be such a banger. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL0p...

After 617 continuous days of writing minimum 500 words a day, I finally broke my streak. Had no brain space left after a full day of editing other people's work. I feel like I've let myself down. Ridiculous, to rely so much on a ritual like that for my self-realization, and yet.

Me after 8 hours spent screaming in front of my laptop: why can’t I find the perfect line to close out the first scene and summarise the theme of this book, why, WHY Me, after 15 seconds spent sitting on a public throne: of course

Am really not enjoying how all the major Australian news outlets are like, "Neo-Nazi arrested interrupting Welcome to Country ceremony", and the comments sections are all, "Actually perhaps the Neo-Nazi had some good points"
