So, on the 14th of February, I received the news that my father had passed away. Now, before I start, please be aware that although he was my father, we were not close. He left our family when my brother and I were very young, and while we did go and stay with him and his new wife for a…

David “melatonin” Watson

Or lewismistreated, however you knew him. I don't really know how to say this. Well, he took his own life recently. Karl (Lost and Found) broke the news on the 15th of January 2025 in a group chat on Facebook that I originally set up to let everyone know that the Random Fury! forums were closing, back in 2018. I…

Direction decided. A fresh start.

By Iain 16 July 2024Reflections, Site Related, The Mission, VideogamesNo Comments

With reference to this post: https://iaindstewart.net/blog/2023/11/03/starting-again/ This is another one of those natural break points in my life where everything seems to be changing or shifting - this time it's not me waking up after a long period of apathy or feeling aimless, but I feel like things are going in the right direction this time. Lots of things are…

The Braking Point story mode in the F1 2023 videogame

By Iain 15 June 2024VideogamesNo Comments

I may be a year late with this, seeing as F1 24 has just come out, but the story mode in F1 23 is just awful. I think it fails in two key aspects. The first aspect is the characters. The story is based around a fictional Formula 1 team and some of their top personnel: the two drivers, the…

The Tomorrow War

By Iain 24 December 2023Films/TVNo Comments

So it's been a while since I've watched a movie, but I've got a bit of time over the festive period and I had a hankering for some long form entertainment, so I thought I'd see what was about. I was going to watch Dune, but it was a bit too long for the time I had, so I settled…

Starting again

By Iain 3 November 2023Reflections, The MissionNo Comments

I know I've not properly posted on here for a long time... I go through phases where it seems like a good idea to document stuff, make a big fuss about "here's what I'm going to do next", and then never get around to it. It's got to a point where I want to start the next "big thing" (which…

Don’t invite disease into your mind.

Considering the circumstances of the universe, each and every one of you reading this is amazingly lucky to be alive and exist in this world. In this world there are unlimited great experiences, beautiful things, challenges and opportunities that you couldn't even begin to imagine in your wildest dreams. Seek out those instead of looking into the deep catacombs of…

So it’s official

By Iain 11 January 2023ReflectionsNo Comments

I have ADHD. I had my assessment with a psychiatrist last week, and I've been sitting with the diagnosis, not really sure where to go with it. I was pretty sure I had ADHD anyway, so I don't feel like much has changed. Maybe I should talk to someone about it, find an ADHD coach. That's most probably the advice…

Progress

By Iain 19 December 2022Reflections, The MissionNo Comments

I'm coming to the end of my knee's recovery period, and I've made quite a bit of progress since first being off work. I put up a bookcase upstairs, sorted out a bunch of old clothes and bits and bobs I don't need anymore, and sorted out my bookcase downstairs somewhat - it's still a work in progress but I'm…

I found my motivation, it was on a bookcase

By Iain 4 October 2022ReflectionsNo Comments

I blew my right knee out somehow - I think it was general wear and tear adding up over time, but it hurts when I put weight on it. The school run still has to be done every day though, so I'm using that as a litmus test to see how it is healing, and how recovery is going. I've…
