You're approaching the film from the perspective of a classic, not of a marketing team trying to get someone to see something they haven't seen yet.14 Sep 2026 15:31 +0000at://did:plc:moh2ercbm2uvwhp2j6slsoys/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvigknzpbk2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/benpaddon.net/post/3mvgnvatgs22gNever mind, I was wrong forever.

I tried it today and it opens as long as I apply a very little pressure to the top. So I've put our Wii U on top of it. Works fine!13 Sep 2026 19:52 +0000at://did:plc:moh2ercbm2uvwhp2j6slsoys/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvgengvlkk23https://bsky.app/profile/benpaddon.net/post/3mvf4zyebbc2nThe problem with going viral is it attracts a certain sort of person who, rather than pay attention to the point being made, hangs their hat on a particular turn of phrase. People are debating whether the brown M&M test is real, but if you understood what I meant then it doesn't bloody matter.13 Sep 2026 08:03 +0000at://did:plc:moh2ercbm2uvwhp2j6slsoys/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvf4zyebbc2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/benpaddon.net/post/3mveqah64hs2nI usually like Nacelle's stuff, but I'm watching The Center Seat II and I really, really hate the way this is edited. It's actually bad! It's bad.13 Sep 2026 04:14 +0000at://did:plc:moh2ercbm2uvwhp2j6slsoys/app.bsky.feed.post/3mveqah64hs2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/benpaddon.net/post/3mvedrbeswssjAn AI flyer is a brown M&M test. If your event or business is cutting corners by using an AI flyer, where else are you cutting corners? What else are you cheating out on? Why should I be bothered to go somewhere you couldn't be bothered to promote with a little of your own personality?13 Sep 2026 00:30 +0000at://did:plc:moh2ercbm2uvwhp2j6slsoys/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvedrbeswssjhttps://bsky.app/profile/benpaddon.net/post/3mvcjazcvwc2nY'know, I've joked about getting to write the narrative for a Worms game. I'm pretty sure I joked about it earlier this year! And then I got to write the copy for the official Worms website. So, hey. Y'know. Maybe it's not so wild or weird a dream. It could happen! It could happen.12 Sep 2026 07:03 +0000at://did:plc:moh2ercbm2uvwhp2j6slsoys/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvcjazcvwc2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/benpaddon.net/post/3mvcayyczhk2n [contains quote post or other embedded content]12 Sep 2026 04:36 +0000at://did:plc:moh2ercbm2uvwhp2j6slsoys/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvcayyczhk2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/benpaddon.net/post/3mvc5mwbt6s2nNo one could resist the One Ring. The entire point was that it corrupted everyone, eventually. And before you say Tom Bombadil, consider this: Not real. Not a real person.12 Sep 2026 03:35 +0000at://did:plc:moh2ercbm2uvwhp2j6slsoys/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvc5mwbt6s2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/benpaddon.net/post/3mvc2j4oi7k2nY'know, we make fun of Richard Dawkins for his "little jar of honey" tweet, and rightly so.

This game is swiftly on its way to being my "I have a few minutes, I'll just play a quick run..." game of 2026. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3674680/Roguecraft_DX/11 Sep 2026 15:43 +0000at://did:plc:moh2ercbm2uvwhp2j6slsoys/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvavtsmbfs2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/benpaddon.net/post/3mvbbtv5i5k2n9/11. I was 15, and got home from school around 3pm - much earlier than usual, though unrelated to what had happened I got home to see my mum crying, watching the news. In my mind's eye it was CNN, but it could have been BBC News 24 or Sky News. The enormity didn't hit me until years later.11 Sep 2026 19:18 +0000at://did:plc:moh2ercbm2uvwhp2j6slsoys/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvbbtv5i5k2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/benpaddon.net/post/3mvb543pes4usNow that I've seen the Ocarina of Time remake trailer, and not just stills, I'm actually warming to the new visuals. I don't think it replaces the original game, but it feels distinct enough.11 Sep 2026 17:53 +0000at://did:plc:moh2ercbm2uvwhp2j6slsoys/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvb543pes4ushttps://bsky.app/profile/benpaddon.net/post/3mvavtsmbfs2nRogueCraft DX is out on Steam now, and now only is it a perfect port of the Amiga version but they've added new features and modes!
