By day I'm a producer in the games industry, happily making little spreadsheets and Gantt charts, and by night I improvise nonsense or wander around stage with a microphone.
I am no one, and yet people seem awkward or embarrassed to come up to me after shows to say they enjoyed my set. Don't! It's lovely!
I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

Episode three and my thoughts are: Eugene Tooms. What a creepy man.
I have finally got round to watching the first episode of The X Files, and I'm not sure if people are aware of this, but it's good stuff.

I'm not going anywhere. I will continue to be me and to be present, no matter how scary it is. There are more supportive people than there are cruel people, and every day I am reminded of that.
I like this photo specifically because it feels like it has Suzy Izzard vibes.

Just listened to the first episode of @missiontozyxx.bsky.social: The Young Old Derf Chronicles. Out fully tomorrow.
This podcast is one of the main reasons I started performing comedy and it's such a joy to hear them all back and creating something ridiculous again!

An interesting choice for an organisation which depends on volunteer labour by generally progressive people willing to give their time and energy for no return but giving girls a place to belong.
Trans children denied participation in society because of the Supreme Court and EHRC. To attack us adults is one thing but to attack children is another. The UK needs to lose its GANHRI A accreditation.

One Winged Angel is a good boss track because it just has a choir singing their name the whole way through in case you forget who it is you should be punching.

The Benoit Blanc trilogy might end up as one of the best artistic statements on the diseased conservatism of our era, and l think Wake Up Dead Man is my favorite of the trilogy, largely because it’s Rian Johnson trying to understand Christianity and its adherents more than having a definitive take.

Spent today playing through the remaster of Tomba. Been a few years, but still apparently can 100% it in five hours.
One of those games I feel I could probably learn the speedrun for if I had a spare moment.

Majora is a weird final boss fight because the design gets less creepy with each stage. Floating tentacle mask is much more intimidating than Some Guy With Long Arms.

love to live in a world where all my personal data is relentlessly harvested so that megacorps can feed it into their all-knowing algorithms and yet somehow the end result is that algorithm going “we think you’d like Clarkson’s Farm”

At some point I should really replay Nier: Automata. I think it's been long enough since playing the original Nier that my thoughts on it won't be clouded by how much I preferred that compared to Automata and I might be able to appreciate it on its own merits.

Realising from the "Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've been to" prompts that I don't actually think I've seen five different bands/musicians live in my adult life. Does Grace Petrie x 5 count.

My favourite thing I learned at AdventureX was that in Shadows of Doubt there was a bug that stopped any of the procedurally generated murders from happening because there was only one toilet open at night and so the murderer got stuck in the queue to use it and couldn't kill their target in time.
