no more yearning
08-04-2026
what do you think about yearning? i think i'm past it, personally. ive finally drawn a line under it. its just not for me!!
but i still feel the pull. oh do i ever. the gravity, the event horizon. the romance, the hype, the drive, the delirium. i'm always pulled upon by ideas and excitement. but you've got to draw the line at yearning. we're on the brink of world war three, after all.
why do i hate the delivery robots
they're rolling out the delivery robots in my city. i don't understand how. i haven't seen a contiguous 7 yards of functional pavement in years.
i hate the robots. i want to kick them until my toes rupture. ive been walking through the work-from-home suburbs with a sledgehammer and king ludd woad-marked across my chest.
why do i hate them so much? why this particular battle line? i think its just a vulnerable piece of machinery that i can conceivably smash. id kick the hell/piss out of a printer if they were roamed around unaccompanied too. but no, they're always under the watchful eyes of furtive office quislings.
it's always so much
i'm swarming with live show commitments at the moment, with more on the way.
principle among them is that i'm doing the fringe in full for the first time in seven years. backchannel is the apple of my eye and i am tentatively psyched to do it every day until it becomes repulsive.
There's also Brighton Fringe, Machfest, XS Malarkey, The Rik Mayall Comedy Festival and more all at my website!
a recc: angeline era
want to give a shoutout to Angeline Era (2025) by Melos Han-Tani and Marina Kittaka for being my favourite game of 2026 so far. what a smasher. arcade-precision bumpslash dungeons open world oblique story explorathon. perfect harmony of ps1 demo disc and dreamcastish optimism. incredibly mysterious, wonderful soundtrack (i have a slight preference for vol 2). the game exudes good philosophies.
