  • I used to watch The Wan Show which I guess is more of an unfiltered look than the edited videos. But yeah, kinda.

    There were numerous times when he’d openly criticise a colleague, or just like… undermine them? And then realise he was looking like an asshole and awkwardly laugh to try to pass it off as a joke.

    It’s very clear once you’ve watched a few episodes of The Wan Show that he’s basically a massive asshole and a liability, surrounded by people desperately trying to rein him in.

    Particularly more recently, I think? Like, I eventually stopped watching because the first 40 minutes of every episode was Linus trying to defend himself for the latest bullshit thing he’d done. 🙄

    It’s unsurprisingly one of those “can’t say much about it without ruining it” games, but suffice to say:

    It was very good and you should play it, but it was always going to be difficult for it to top the first one because you go into it having a fairly good idea of what’s going on.

    Also I just think this genre maybe works better with teenage characters than grown-ups, but that’s just me. 😁

    Currently in that “trying to decide what to play next” headspace… but for a bonus point, I think the thing I completed last was Oxenfree II.

    Anyone else wishing they could buy the entire Steam Visual Novel Fest? 🥺

    I picked up Who’s Lila?, Coffee Talk, and Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane (despite not really being able to afford to 😬) and wish-listed a bunch of other stuff.


  • There was (maybe still is) a cake shop in Southgate, North London. About a minute from my old flat.

    The cakes in the window display rarely changed, if ever.

    The guy running it looked like if you imagine the toughest prisoner at a prison, only wearing an apron.

    About 50/50 whether the glass would be smashed whenever you walked past.

    It was often “open” and had people coming in and out of it at 2-3am when I came back from nights out.

    And there was a drive-by shooting right in that area while I lived there, that I always assumed was related. 😅









  • Never forget that the classic video game Lemmings is itself a British creation.

    This would be my pitch:

    Alternate version and transparent PNG

    Still an official™️ Lemmings skin tone, but one from a later game I guess, in the interest of inclusivity:

    Transparent PNG in case anyone wants to remix it:

    Easy, relevant banner idea

    Use a screenshot like this one, but decide what they’re queueing for. Greggs? Woolies? Half-price biscuits? The possibilities are endless.
