As part of my "getting back into blogging". Have a beautiful photo from last Autumn.

Kinda forgot Masterdon exists! Hello, hope everyone is doing well.

Am thinking of getting back into blogging in 2025, I think it's making a comeback.

Need my own domain and such, it's definitely a project for the year.

Busy couple of days ahead so I'm going to be early and say:

Seasons Greetings everyone.

Hope you have as good an end to 2023 as possible.

Look after yourselves and each other.

#UKPOL Swearing

The current government have lost their minds.

Fuck Jenrick resigning because he wants to punish immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees even more.

Fuck this government for being OBSESSED with Rwanada and deporting 200 people there against their will.

Fuck Boris Johnson and his tower of lies to the Covid Inquiry and how he never suffers for ANY of these lies.

People can't afford food you bastards! Focus on that!

UKPOL

It's been a day huh?

Government plan to traffic humans to Rwanda was found to be illegal by the Supreme Court.

The government then went into full extremist mode, planning to change the law to get round it.

Lots of madness in-between then we ended the day with the majority of MPs voting AGAINST an amendment to call for a Ceasefire in Gaza.

What a country.

Desert Bus up to $401,000 raised for Childs Play charity.

Outstanding work.

I believe Matt raised over £9,000 just from a squat-based exercise challenge.

Great stuff.

So if anyone is fussed in the #gaming world: Nick Calandra was fired from The Escapist for not hitting targets.

Yahtzee (of Zero Punctuation) quit in solidarity, as did others.

Now, Nick and team are back up and running as "Second Wind".

Good luck to them all.

I'm also switching off from the world (which I am thankfully safe and privileged enough to be able to do) by exploring the wasteland in Fallout 4.

I know it's the least RPG-y of the series but...well...look at it!!

Thanks to a YouTube video, was prompted to read the short story:

"The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" by Ursula K. Le Guin.

Am heartily recommending it to you if you've not read it before.

Take it slow going through it as it's one to savour and ponder.

I know the Mail has always been terrible but this sentence surely takes the biscuit:

Petrol or diesel cars don't charge up.

Ack, I love Ducky on NCIS.

They've even had Man from U.N.C.L.E. references on the show.

A nice man by all the accounts I've read.

Ok, to get on top of the absolute MESS that is my digital life (ebooks from various stores/bundles/music/files/game saves and more) treated myself to a 2TB External HDD.

On sale for under £50.

I WILL get this organised at least.

Looking forward to it turning up now.

One of the dafter bits of jargon associated with modern computer gaming:

"Pre-purchase"

When it should just read "Buy".

What's the "pre" bit?

The game's not out yet, so technically you're buying before you can play it but you're still buying it.

You're not "before buying" it!
