Monday service: Goblin mode

https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2022/03/17/goblin-mode-meaning/ I wish I'd never heard about Goblin mode... I feel awful that there's a name and a description of how things are going for me right now. I'm still recovering from the way the pandemic conditioned us to all stay inside, many of us are. I think I've said this before; I wasn't the most social of people in…

Self-isolation, week four

It reminds me of when I was unemployed, having all this free time. But it's weird - instead of bumming around playing videogames all day and moderating meaningless internet forums, this time I am spending my time improving my situation. I asked Twitter when the lockdown first started if this crisis brought anyone's mortality into sharp focus. It did mine.…

Timely Friday update

Hey, I'm going to do a Friday update on a Friday for a change! I'm in the front room watching Jake while he sleeps rather than writing it in my study as usual, using my video-recoding laptop rather than the familiar keyboard on the main PC... I've never used this keyboard to type before, so I keep missing letters and…

Musings

I'm just sitting here on a sunny Saturday afternoon, at the PC with a green tea and a couple of biscuits, editing the next series of Sonic games (Sonic 2, for those of you who care), thinking to myself that I've not really written anything that wasn't a Friday update on here in a while. I started doing Friday updates…

Bi-yearly update 2014

Hey, this is going to be an epic update, a half-year special so to speak. I’m going to go back and take a look at the targets I made at the start of the year and see how I’m doing with them.

With regards to the Fitness Targets – I’ve done nothing. I don’t know why. Can I not be bothered? Or do I feel like I should be doing something else? I think I feel like I should be drawing or recording videogame footage, but then, I don’t really spend enough time doing those things either, so I have no idea. I reckon I should draw up a timetable, allocate my time. It would illustrate that I have more time than I think I have. But then again, now I’ve said that I’ll put off drawing it up and won’t change until I’ve drawn it up. And a plan like that is ridiculous to think about now seeing as something that I never imagined would happen at the start of the year is happening…

How to play Minecraft

So, Jane's Xbox (360 - but do I really need to clarify that?) is downstairs, and Lewis has taken to playing Minecraft on it while Ethan watches. At first, a few months ago, it was Skyrim - but after Myrtle saw a person behead another person it was banned while Ethan was awake. I don't think Lewis realised that I…
