My mum walked in on me playing Silksong. She said “what’s that awful noise?” I said “I’m playing my needolin to the barking fleas”, and she said “just don’t wipe it on the cushions”. That’s when a drawer slid open and a sock puppet started singing our theme tune

I loved going in the caterpillar too. Extremely mild claustrophobia made it genuinely exciting. I think the only thing more exciting would be having my brother shout “I’m going to kiiiilll yoooouu” into it then crawling in to get me

I know right! So mechanically gentle. Like getting your feet kissed by a vice

There was a Wimpy nearby if that helps, and a small mechanical monkey that endlessly flipped over a metal bar in the window of Clark's Shoes. As if going on the foot measuring machine wasn't reason enough to drag your parents in there!!

This shopping mall attraction was hollow. You could climb inside it and reach the head, only to find out that someone else was now inside. You were trapped, at the whim of a gurgling buffoon child, newly fed by their mother into the anus of a wooden caterpillar. Of course these days its all tiktoks

A long wooden caterpillar, around 6 metres long and less than a metre high, in a photo that absolutely stinks of the 70s. Two children in checked winter wear are riding it, but the real action is at the back: an adult is peering into the hollow anus of the caterpillar, presumably after feeding their child into it. There is no exit from the head. Unpictured: me, at the head, silently screaming, and rapidly learning claustrophobia

She’s so graceful when other dogs come up asking for an autograph

Two dogs on a playing field. On the right is my mums Labradoodle, looking directly at the camera, tail in the air, and a front paw resting on a football like she’s doing fancy footwork. On the left is a beige poodle cross asking for her autograph because she’s so nice and lovely

I’m using the shed. Dipping it in paint and using it to impress shed patterns on a skyscraper

Jon Blyth @disappointment.bsky.social · 5d

Which will soon include the things I used to paint it. Fully sustainable

Jon Blyth @disappointment.bsky.social · 5d

I’m going to paint a shed today. Can’t wait to pat that son of a gun on the roof and say “she’s ready to go”

Unless you’re some kind of puritanical fun-averse doofus, buy all of Size Five’s stuff and do everything else Dan says here. He’s mint, the games are funny and fantastic, and I’ve never been paid more promptly for any work I’ve done

Dan Marshall @danthat.bsky.social · 13d

If you enjoy Size Five and want to see it survive what is a very iffy time for the Games Industry, please do three things with your Saturday:

✅ Wishlist EARTH MUST DIE
✅ Buy a game on sale
✅ Share these links where you can

I’ve stopped slamming my front door, because it makes a big spider pop down to check his web and I’m sick of apologising to him
