I would like to have a car that isn't a (very efficient) Diesel. It's still far too expensive though to buy an electric car that can do 500km round trips once a week (the only reason I can't do public transport for those is literally the last mile and time of day).

What up #PortfolioDay!

We’re Brandt&Stein, and together we make comics. Marvel, DC, Power Rangers, some Darkwing Duck, and a lot more besides!

We co-created Marvel’s first trans mutant (Escapade), made Green Arrow’s son asexual, and drew the multi-award nominated CROWDED.

Nice to meet you!

A page from Great Petspectations, printed in Harley Quinn: Black & White +Redder issue 2.

Panel 1: a header says “fourth event, extraordinary talent” as we see Haley, the three-legged Bitewing riding a unicycle while balancing a ball on her nose.

Panel 2: Haley is yelping in shock as paintballs hit her, knocking her off the unicycle.

Panel 3: Robin looks pissed, snatching Harley’s paintball gun away from her. Harley looks more smug though, as she is looking at…

Panel 4: the pet show’s judges are melting down as The Squiddler does his mind-reading trick and is writing their bank account numbers on a whiteboard.

Panel 5: Harley is giving a serious pep talk to Bud and Lou, her hyenas.

Panel 6: Harley’s going full pageant mom, putting the fear of god into Bud and Lou.

A double page spread from “Morgonna the Crimson,” first printed in Red Sonja: Black, White & Red 5.

Panel 1: Sonja’s kicking an evil wizard out of a small village.

Panel 2: Sonja’s running away, overwhelmed by the unnecessarily fervent gratitude of the villagers.

Panel 3: Sonja is stood, fuming, as a cardboard standee advertising someone who is clearly biting her style in terms of outfit.

Panel 4: Having defeated a monster and tied it up, Sonja is running and yelling at the people loading unwanted rewards onto her horse.

Panel 5: Sonja is walking through a forest, tearing down every poster put up by her imitator.

Panel 6: Sonja is leaping, sword swinging, at a giant inflatable standee of her imitator outside a wagon dealer.

Panel 7: an extremely grouchy Sonja is riding her terminally-overburdened horse. There is a goose sat on her head.

A double page spread from CROWDED issue 3.

Panel 1: wide across the top of both pages, showing an airport drop-off point and Trotter, the celebrity Reapr killer, standing out the sun roof of his limo, talking to his adoring fans.

Panel 2: inside the airport, Circe the assassin has noticed a bright-looking suitcase on the baggage claim that clearly isn’t hers.

Panel 3: outside the airport, now with the suitcase, Circe is walking towards another limousine.

Panel 4: at the limousine, Circe places her hand on the fingerprint scanner, her technological gloves hacking it, causing it to accept her as its intended guest, Mr Hufnagle.

Panel 5: full page width, split panel. On the left half, Trotter is in his limo, talking to his assistant Cameron. On the right half, Circe is in her limo rooting through her stolen suitcase.

Panel 6: Trotter is walking up to a hotel, posing for paparazzi.

Panel 7: Circe is climbing out of the sunroof of her limo.

Panel 8: Circe is jumping off her limo in the middle of the street, letting it continue to its destination.

A comics splash page. We’re looking out over a vibrant night scene at a food market filled with an eclectic and weird mix of people milling through it. Above the market a sci-fi city stretches into the distance, each area having its own architectural style and gravitational direction. Nearby a hover-bus is pulling into its stop.

Was arrested for tweeting in protest at Thatcher and her plan to reduce subsidies.

Turns out impersonating a miner online is illegal.

today is the end of Windows 10 and the start of the biggest ewaste event in tech

millions of perfectly functional PCs and Laptops are about to get labeled “obsolete” if they haven't already. Microsoft cutting off updates means manufacturers and businesses will start phasing them out

One of my favourite pieces of music in a game bursting with memorable, atmospheric compositions by Guido Henkel.

Third game in the first trilogy of adaptations in the 90s of Germany's Das Schwartze Auge (The Dark Eye) TTRPG and 'Adventuria' campaign setting.

📺: Shadows Over Riva, 1996 (DOS)

A group of people have turned up to Catherine Connolly’s canvass in Naas asking about Enoch and Elijah Burke.

They have asked Connolly if she’s a Freemason…

Isometric pixelart illustration for Minecraft, while I was working at Mojang. This is meant to show off the world and it's thrills. It lives in the how-to-play section in-game

If you are missing the dulcet tones of Hugo Myatt AKA Treguard, you may be interested to know that he narrates my game and performs as Orthos the Spellmaster! It was a tremendous honour to work with him, and I rarely say that of anyone...

Scarred For Life @scarredforlife.bsky.social · Sep 7

Happy 38th birthday, KNIGHTMARE, the hardest game show on television! In 1987, Treguard the Dungeon Master welcomed the first team of adventurers to his blue screen labyrinth. Losers didn’t just fail, they 'died': blades, spikes, and bottomless pits abounded. "Ooh, nasty..."

What sort of wanker tells other Irish people not to swear? For fuck sake, they should fecking cop the fuck on. Every bastard arsehole on the planet needs a good c**ting swear occasionally! Prick is probably called Prionsias and lives in Dublin 4 with other pretentious dickheads...

Ah, Teensy! 😍

I wonder if I could connect it to the OPL2 and OPL3 modules I have. Trackers are one of those things that are quite simple in concept, but an extremely useful and diverse tool.

Paid work has dried up again, down to taking home €100/week 😞. Apologies for begfunding but if anyone can help out I'd appreciate it. I need to pay at least VHI and Motor Tax by the end of the month and hopefully replace some broken or worn out things.

Matt Desmond has released Des-test Kernal for the C64.

Instead of being a cart you plug in, this is a KERNAL replacement that can fully test all of the C64's RAM in an extremely thorough way. Much better test than any other existing test for the C64.

I'm having a rethink of my table for @computinghistory.org.uk's Retro Computing Festival - so to keep with their Gaming Edition theme, I'm going for this ... "The Glorious Galaxy of Green Gaming" (working title) to celebrate everyone's favourite primary colour and it's role in Dragon games ... 1/3

We have already had at least one Unionist in the Seanad and several quasi Unionists in the Dáil. So what? There are even some people, who, for some bizarre reason hold Unionist views in The Republic still. Like, they are allowed to hold those views,even if most people think they're silly.
