My two favourite star wars things of the last 20 years are the most childish: Skeleton Crew and the grown up: Andor Most of the other stuff falls a bit flat for me

James Cameron....oh man. He's gone full Ridley

The PowerPoint selling AI to Kier Starmer must have been quite something

Amongst colleagues and friends, I predicted this 😊

Going out with some pals this evening. Introducing my midlands posse to an old uni friend

I have mixed feelings over Marvel movies but I lurve their logo and Michael Giacchino's music. Made a lecture register code homage/pastiche/rip-of. The important thing was that I could update and render the code in under an hour. Eevee to the rescue

Someone on Tiktok said my vfx work was "tight" That's a pretty rad compliment for a vfx artist 💫

As you may know, I co-designed the Mass Effect board game, which is in my favorite genre of board game: the dungeon crawl/tactical action Therefore I present this thread of 10 of my favorite board games in this genre, defined as 'you control single characters (not units or armies) and fight others'

Maybe I'm oversharing but what the hell: the new anxiety meds I'm on are incredible. I feel like a new person

The world seems to be turning into the opening crawl from The Phantom Menace
