With the release of my 300th cosplay video, I've got a question for other cosplayers . . . about gender, DUN-DUN-DUUUNN! #cosplayers #gender #genderswap #300
(Follow up question, how do I ask all my favourite cosplayers without becoming a nuisance? lol)

I recently noticed that it's been a decade of my adult life since I went on holiday to a nerd-related event and dressed in a funny costume. Time to fix that! - youtu.be/t24oVD5GOqA?...

Question for ex-X users: I've exported my information, but I have a habit of screenshotting old tweets for my projects.
I'd like to know that if I delete my account online, am I still able to expand and explore from the saved document, or if it's all just gone? Thanks.

@therealjims.bsky.social Topic idea: why do adult cartoons love the zeitgeist? - In one of my own essays, this was something I glossed over but could be an interesting question, with Simpsons as obvious front-runner for the trend.
Otherwise, I've been enjoying your vids a lot lately! 👌

Saw someone on TikTok playing a game about sorting books in a library, and within 10 minutes I had it purchased and downloading from Steam. Yes I am super cool, thanks for asking. 😎

After my last phone update, I kinda lost predictive text and just resorted to googling words instead of worrying about it. Finally looked into what happened and I had to actually download a new patch for AU English. Umm, dafuk? 🤦♂️

It kinda makes me sad that the Dancesport equivalent to Wimbledon or the Superbowl is this week and... literally not a single post about it on BlueSky.
It's such a waste that such a wonderful sport struggles so much to gain visibility. Le sigh.

Old timey village, two guys talk about how their friend just got horribly killed. One says the friend was gonna help on a job, then walks over to the community board to find someone else to help. Society continues.
This scene inspired by "Hoppers."

In a $100+ shop at Coles (which I of course used a debit card for), I bought one box of baby wipes for general use. Now, YouTube has randomly started showing me nappy ads. 🤨 They were hilariously off the mark this time, but THEY ARE WATCHING US!! 👀

Never be afraid of your emails when it says 1364 unread, because a lot of them are actually very easy to delete. Like, why did I get so many from "The Colonel" in 2021?! 🤨

This essay was meant to be released right before another project, but that one is so delayed that it already half-released three years ago. 🤦 Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one!

So today, I wanted to stop playing Pokemon forever when I noticed I was about to take a full team of men to beat up a woman! 😱

When I made my Insomniac Museum video, I mentioned that High Impact Games had their own "treehouse" version in the two spin-offs, but I only looked at Secret Agent Clank back then.
Well I've now played Size Matters, and I'd hate to say I made the right choice, but SAC did have more to talk about. 🤷♂️

You can do this.
It’s hard, I know it’s not easy, but you can do it.
Take a deep breath.
Settle your heart.
Relax your body.
Take it one step at a time.
Even if it’s a small task, you can accomplish it.
Help others, but only if you can. Don’t push yourself.
Okay.
Let’s do this.

It is really weird to me when people don’t like reading and books.
I get not having enough time to read. I get wanting to read more, but there are just too many distractions around you. Obviously, I get having disabilities that make it difficult to read.
But just not liking books? Who are you?

Decided on a whim to update my old business card design and actually get some printed out. Don't know where I'll use them, but feels good to have them. 😁

So, dreaming myself as one of my cosplay characters would suggest a deep personal connection, right? Except I'd feel really bad for Angel Dust if he's ever had to pull chunks of broken glass bottles out of his mouth repeatedly. Bloody hell, dream! 😥

New video, just footage from an old short film that I never got round to releasing before (was gonna be a patreon exclusive, but that fell by the wayside too). Still a good laugh. youtu.be/xZ7A79DIl1o?...

If I had a nickel for every time I beat the final boss in "Klonoa: Door to Phantomile" on my last hit only to be told there's more boss, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it was annoying that it happened twice. 😮💨
