Memories of popping to the corner shop for a ‘leccy top up before the meter goes into ‘emergency’ mode and punishes you for not affording electricity by increasing the cost of electricity.
Seeing a five quid powercard in a Silent Hill game is mangling my mind more than any of the faceless shambling horrors.

I was never comfortable with using voice commands on my devices. Something about audibly telling a computer to do something was always awkward to me.
Nowadays it feels like it should just be common sense. No way are these commands not being used to further train AI and track you through voice alone

There are so many studios shoving the newest and most resource intensive technologies into games that cant run on anything but the most expensive hardware, then theres devs using a game engine from the 90s
17 days until launch!!
Watch the *alternative* trailer, voiced by Not Just Bikes.

I’d love for it to leave me behind so I can experience pre-2020 tech again
Still patiently waiting to be "left behind" by AI rather than it chasing me across every damn space like a slasher in a low budget flick.

Im going on a campervan roadtrip soon, which in 2026 means constantly checking the news to make sure fuel still exists and calculating how much of my soul Im selling to afford it.
Very cool stuff

Taking the van for its MOT after spending the last few months tinkering inside, outside, under and within its guts sure is an invitation for anxiety.
Turns out vehicles are easy though. It passed no problem.
Still no idea how an engine works though

People who claim that progress wouldnt happen without jobs and capitalism really underestimate the drive to create and discover.
But these people also seem to be those glorifying AI so I cant help but wonder if they truly lack those drives and cant imagine anyone would have them.

Living in rural areas just means that sometimes a neighbour will call to let you know one of their animals is somewhere in/around your house.
Today one of their peacocks has decided my roof is comfortable.

Can you fix significant damage to a 3D printed prop in just 5 minutes??
Probably not, and if you can, tell me how. 😂
Seriously though, damage to props happens. Disappearing the damage can be done, but it'll take hours instead of minutes to make it go away.
Save yourself time and do this instead!
