I was surprised when I read heart of darkness, that, for me at least, the final gut-punch of the tale isn’t a dying man thinking of the horror he had wrought and seen, but the protagonist getting back to the man’s wife and lying to her, telling her his last thoughts were of her. It isnt something that would have worked for Apocalypse Now, but I didn’t expect such a short novel to hide a completely different ending mood. I still think about it, years later.

Its pretty easy to score points when the government is doing everything it can to become unpopular.

I don’t know why my brain refuses to let it go, but Graeme Norgate’s Astrolander from Timesplitters 2 is short and very sweet.

Also theres the opening theme from Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters.

Oh actually also the Italy round of Road Rash 3. I once worked in an Italian restaurant and would whistle this without knowing it was taken from some famous Italian opera, and the owner asked me how I knew the music, and I didn’t have the heart to tell him.

Yeah, the likes of the Filipino contracts, especially during covid, were downright heartless, to say the very least.

If you work at sea with a favourable contract, you can be off for 182 days a year.

I honestly can’t think of anything better than being in a room with 100 Boxer dogs.

At the end, the sofa and blanket would have to be huge to fit us all on it, though.

Sounds like Valve should set up a payment processing system.

Ours could differentiate the crinkle of something containing cheese compared to any other crinkle coming from the kitchen, and would trot around the corner like she expected to see everyone in there shovelling cheese into their face and she was free to take part, when that would only actually happen about 25% of the time.

This feels like a post from 2019.

Is that a number 7?

Excuse my life, but what the fuck is a Catholic hospital?

“Welcome good sirs to my church of the Bristol Stool Chart!”

Oh my god! I have not thought about this channel for some 15 years! And he’s still occasionally producing content. This has absolutely blindsided me.

That thing looks tired as fuck.

The blob across the border between England and Scotland explains so much as to why I get twin peaks vibes from Dumfries and Galloway.

So what happens if I have Gemini disabled overall on my phone?
