Coming up with this stuff is difficult. Like, right now, I’m typing with no real sense of direction, no subject matter and (to be honest) no real drive to continue beyond the end of this sentence. And yet we soldier on because, well, why, exactly? Because I’m very mean to myself and I make myself... Continue Reading →

When I look back over these things in the many years I hope to come, I imagine I’ll find myself mystified at the topics my younger self has chosen to focus on in the past. Picture it: a 70-something year old lonely idiot looking back on blog posts he did when he was in his... Continue Reading →

The heating’s on. It’s getting darker. Hot chocolate is more than appropriate to binge drink on a nightly basis and we’re on the verge of the country’s clocks being simultaneously altered. Yes, it’s the downhill slope towards the eternal darkness of Yuletide. That’s why I’m using seasonal shift as an excuse for being shit on... Continue Reading →

According to the in-game count, I’ve been playing Horizon Zero Dawn for 71 hours. That’s seventy-one hours. That’s 4,260 minutes or so. That’s just shy of three straight days. Granted various portions of that time have included consulting the in-game map for various things, as well as erroneously leaving the game open during breaks where... Continue Reading →

Vanity is such an ugly thing, ironically. Like, what supposedly decent and self-respecting person spends up to an hour framing themselves in the right light at the right angle with the right facial expression, to take dozens of photos of themselves, each with minor differences, only to delete them all, try again with another batch...

Why would you want a gun? Why would any sane person want a gun? When I go shopping to get, let’s say, milk, the reason I’ve decided to get milk is because I intend to drink it. There’s purpose behind the purchase. So when you decide to buy a gun, surely the intention behind it... Continue Reading →

Another year, another iOS upgrade. It’s mostly nice, I guess, but it’s not without it’s shortcomings. A lot of those shortcomings are really based around how I personally use my devices and, therefore, I can’t really moan at Apple for not tending to my (and only my) specific preferences. So instead, I’ll do it here.... Continue Reading →

The nail on my left index finger takes the worst battering; I'm not sure it'll ever truly grow properly any more. Perhaps I need to preface that thought with an admission: I'm a biter. Or at least, I'm a recovering biter. For as long as I can remember, I've always bitten my fingernails. There's no... Continue Reading →

Leave me alone, I'm on a break right now. There's only so much one can take when one has been plagued by stomach-lingering hangovers, looming deadlines and worries of mass annihilation. This week I've booked myself time away and I'll be damned if this thing interrupts me. Then again, aren't we all damned anyway? Screw... Continue Reading →

Every morning for the last several, I've woken up wondering whether the morning news bulletin will announce that war has broken out. It's not a normal thought, is it? It's extremely irrational, I know. My daily feeble attempts at actually being awake again are often soundtracked by a radio broadcast, containing regular short news updates.... Continue Reading →
