It's Sunday, I should relax and read, right? Wrong, I must make all the things I enjoy productive. 45 mins on an exercise bike while reading.

I appreciate IKEA is going for chill here, but ‘enjoy the luxury of just being’ is what an authoritarian regime says when you’re supposed to be grateful you’ve not been purged yet.

Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you a king. Pledging your sword, breaking your toe on an orc’s helmet, driving evil from the land, & getting crowned by an old man while 4 halflings watch with approval is how you become king.

Reading a historical fantasy set during the Mongal empire and listening to a history podcast about the same era. I'm so content when I'm being a giant boring nerd.

I'm still fairly early on, but Dragon Age Veilguard is really not grabbing me. The controls are just so clunky, I'm mostly mashing a basic attack and rolling, and everything just feels......cheap. It's like a glammed up PS2 game.

Something bold and different. I'm actively put off by "genre covers" that all look the same.

Keep your friends close. Keep them in a box under your bed. Remember to put food & water in the friend box.

Fight scene chat: A jab is a little distracting shot from your (usually) weaker hand. Try not to have characters knocking people out with "a jab to the head."

Beyond the moral and environmental shitshow associated with AI, the biggest problem is that it doesn't actually make anything better. It just makes mediocrity easier.

By the age of thirty, you should have a good job, a party of six close friends, a solid main weapon, most of the summons, and at least 50 megaelixiers in your inventory.

Okay, I've gone down an odd wormhole. I found myself on a celebrity look-a-like agency's website, and filtered by price, lowest first, and I'm absolutely dying at some of these. 😂

Don't believe the (lack of) hype. The new Captain America is really decent. Not ground breaking, but it's a top half MCU film. Not every film can have the stakes of Infinity War. That was two hours well spent.

I've mostly been reading shorts, novellas, and at a push - smaller novels recently. I'm starting my first chonky boy novel in ages, 400+ pages. Pray for me. Pray for my attention span. Pray the first chapter isn't infodump lore. 🙏

(The right type of) Suffering can be good for the soul. Go for that run, Read that book, Write that book, Take that course. Do hard stuff that invests in you.

No game has even come close to being as pretty as Cyberpunk 2077, has it? Like, I've not got a particularly artistic eye, but just look at this game. 🎮📸 #GameSky #Cyberpunk

Tips for psychopaths #132: Spice up your Valentine's Day by going into random bars and restaurants, find people sat alone, and take them by the hand and glumly say to them "They're not coming, I'm so sorry."

"A naked child weilding medieval weaponry." "You're sure Jeff? That's the iconography you want for this new romantic holiday of yours?" "Did I stutter?" The invention of Valentine's Day, probably.
