Why not? Are my posts not good enough for you Mr Bluesky?
- Comment on Sen. Lindsey Graham lobbying for investor Scott Bessent as US Treasury secretary 2 days ago:
Given the batshit crazy other people that seem to be put into the other positions… I assume this guy doesn’t believe in money and thinks they should instead switch to a system where basic necessities and housing are provided by your employer, and everything else must be earned through hard work and a points system at your company and government run stores… right?
Or is it even crazier than that 😅

- Comment on Crunchyroll just Committed a Federal Crime. 2 weeks ago:
Ah yes, technology videos are really bad. Especially that Technology Connections guy, he’s the absolute worst.
And don’t even get me started on technology video reviews, tutorials, guides, educational materials and tech news. I only consume technology information in newspaper form. This new video thing just won’t catch on.

But what is he addicted to? We’ll never know!
This new coddled baby internet for children where you can’t say adult words is getting tiring.
When does the adult internet come back?
- Comment on Rhys Darby to Guest Star in Upcoming Season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 4 weeks ago:
Love Bill, when I saw him live last here in Manchester he was trying some new material, hung a joke on the punchline using the word juxtaposition, and nobody laughed because they didn’t know what it meant xD
God, I felt embarrassed to realise the bar for education here is that low…
- Comment on Rhys Darby to Guest Star in Upcoming Season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 4 weeks ago:
Fuckin A, he’s absolutely fantastic, can’t wait to see what he gets up to on SNW, which is a wonderful show that doesn’t take itself too seriously :-D

If nothing else it’ll make a decent bit of filler before something better like Firefly Season 2 comes out!

- Comment on For the two *Over the Garden Wall* fans here 1 month ago:
Good point, it’s hard to build up a media presence and an audience when you’re such a short little one and done thing.
So lovely though :-) I might try to get my friends to watch it with me this spooky season
- Comment on Amazon will “ramp up” Prime Video ads in 2025 1 month ago:
Oh yeah, forgot about those! I enjoyed the boys and invincible a lot, I never got around to watching wheel of time, I will eventually, but I’ve heard nothing particularly good (or that it’s middling at best) so I’ve shoved it to the back of my to watch list.
- Comment on For the two *Over the Garden Wall* fans here 1 month ago:
That show was great, I know it wasn’t exactly the next Gravity Falls or whatever but did it not have at least a decent pile of fans?
Given how good it was, I can only imagine it’s because most people don’t know it exists.
- Comment on Amazon will “ramp up” Prime Video ads in 2025 1 month ago:
American Gods, Rings of Power, Good Omens, the Expanse, Man in the high castle, the Last of us, etc etc.
It’s not always as good of a selection as other services, but it’s got a fair few gems on there and a good amount of back catalogue films and tv shows that are fab :-)
And the fact that they collect so much stuff that would otherwise not be available at all (usually because its only on some random foreign streaming service and refuses to work with netflix) is where they really shine.
That said, I immediately stopped using it when they brought adverts in to the paid subscription. I’m not paying to watch adverts, sorry, no.

Check out Ludwig on iPlayer it’s a good watch! David Mitchell in some light, witty modern day Poirot detectiveing.

Haha yeah that stuff is great :-) Bonding at its finest!
Not quite the same thing but reminds me of how my father would always tell me I have hollow legs, on account of the huge amounts I’d eat whilst remaining skinny. I mean, I’d have a proper big evening dinner, then a bit later a microwave lasagne, then another microwave meal, and maybe a bar or two of fruit and nut chocolate, and never put any fat on xD
Growing teenagers for ya :P
- Comment on Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its users 1 month ago:
It’s still a win thankfully as you say, especially given that for me at least we’d be meeting in a European court.
Though in general I hope I never have to take valve to court, period. Honestly if that happens something REALLY bad must have gone down haha.
Like a steam deck checking its phone while driving and running over my kids or something.

When I was 15 that would have been the coolest shit!
Not to say it’s not still cool, my capacity for joy and wonder at the novelty of crossovers has just faded over time is all.
- Comment on Ubisoft Says That XDefiant Has Fallen Behind Expectations 1 month ago:
It sounds a little novel if nothing else, I hope it picks up :-)
Man, all business/capitalism/personality-politics stuff aside, it must suck to be a developer, artist, writer, actor etc on something for years, pour your heart into it for a solid percentage chunk of your remaining lifespan on this Earth, and then have it fall flat.
Especially if it’s not so much the thing you made, but stuff outside of your control that’s holding it back. Lacklustre marketing for example - I hadn’t even heard of this.
- Comment on Clipped it blud 1 month ago:
Haha yes! I think we all reach a point in our lives when we truly become adults, and it’s when we realise that adults who didn’t understand our lingo and were embarrassing actually:
- Understood more of it than they let on,
- Used it incorrectly around younger people for a laugh, or to help bolster the kid’s confidence (the kid gets a little “omg that adult doesn’t know what blorpitybloo means! I’m so much more cultured than they are” boost).
- Realised that every generation has their language “thing”, and we don’t necessarily have to keep up with the latest word on the street to be fulfilled, or to connect meaningfully with the younger generations.

I found stardew relaxing! Especially, strangely enough, how it doesn’t try to grip your attention too hard.
Like, it lets you feel like it’s okay to just put it down for as long as you like to do other life things then come back to it whenever you’re ready ^_^
Check out the “You suck at cooking” YouTube channel, it’s not actually for people who are terrible at cooking haha but it’s a very well produced, witty series of recipes that are simple to follow and usually teaches me a thing or 2 along the way :-)
And the videos aren’t any longer than they need to be, which is refreshing!

Hello fellow Western capitalist nation citizen, it is I, a relatable friend colleague of David! David will vouch for me, what a capital guy!
So, me and the boys (David’s idea, you know what he’s like) thought it might be pretty radical to scooby over to our local air force base and take some cool photos of us doing kick flips with their buildings and infrastructure in the background.
We think it would look totally tubular and really show those capitalist pig dogs (who we outwardly claim to love otherwise the secret police present in every Western nation will disappear us and our families, something we deny, but other nations with better intelligence services who don’t lie to the great people of their glorious nation educate their populace about) what we think of their money war machine.
Oh! And then we can up post the photographs immediately to TikTok for the klout points!
What do you say, are you in, Breve? David said you’d be in.
