Hello new followers. I'm a middle-aged man who occasionally finds time to play videogames in between parenting, work and exhaustion.

Thanks for joining me.

If you don't walk erratically then you become A Londoner™️ and can never leave. Just going round and round on the Circle Line *forever*!

I mean, has there ever been a more worthy candidate for a solo article?

(You don't need to answer that.)

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness

Wario and Waluigi. Waluigi is riding on Wario's back and falling backwards, pulling on Wario's mouth.

If Stanley fell off the screen, we wouldn't be able to enjoy the gruesome sight of him being swarmed and devoured by bees (in the arcade version, at least).

All these years of complex heist movies about the impossibility of stealing jewels without using special equipment and genius level cunning, and we never thought even considered....what if the museum just had terrible security?

Probably that I'll go to the ends of the Earth to help every one of you fucking cunts. Nightmares, the lot of you.

Half is being generous! It's mostly noises. Not random though. Unsettling. Creeping. Footsteps? Something else? Oh God!

It captures that classic Metroidy vibe.

It's commuting day, you betcha! Ridin' those rails...
God damn I'm so tired...

Today, I was given access to a screen reader for testing purposes. I don't know if I'll be able to make the website better, but you better believe I'm about to become insufferable about this shit!

Mark "Fryguy64" Kelly @nindb.net · 1d

This seems pretty well-disguised by your framing, but happy birthday! I think!

And you got here just in time for peak "complain about the weather" season! It's a national event!

This was weird and a bit sexy back when I was the perfect audience for it: A 13-year-old boy in the 90s. I'm neither of these now.

Subjecting Americans to PAL speeds for anything is just very, very funny.

And that's the story of how The Divine Comedy has made me blub repeatedly several times in the past 24 hours.

Back at the hotel, I spotted that the song had a music video.

A lonely man raises his daughter by weaving her a pair of wings at various stages of life, until he "leaves". She returns as an adult and relives those memories of him.

It hit me in the parenthood harder than an episode of Bluey.

Mark "Fryguy64" Kelly @nindb.net · 3d

It's a beautiful, gentle song is about how there is always an invisible thread between us, even when we're apart.

This was like the third time we'd left the kids at home for a night in 6 years.

First time hearing it, Mrs Fry cracks first 😭. I remain resolute... for now!

Mark "Fryguy64" Kelly @nindb.net · 3d

Mrs Fry and I have been trying to listen to the new Divine Comedy album all week, but haven't managed to get to the end.

Most things remain unfinished when you have kids.

Which is where the final song on the album, "Invisible Thread" comes in, during the Divine Comedy gig encore. 🧵

I've crossed the event horizon where I'm pretty sure there aren't enough years left to get through my backlog.

Mark "Fryguy64" Kelly @nindb.net · 3d

Lots off their new album, and what an album!
