I am playing Lies of P.

It is creeping me the fuck out, but oh my word, what a beautifully realised steampunk environment.

Also, Pinocchio appears to be played by Timotheeeeeeeee Chalamet in this instance.

Advent Calendar Day 7. I know, shut up.

Presented without comment, really.

I love it. I really loved these books growing up and the whole thing makes me feel immensely happy. I’m sure there will be plenty of dissenting voices, but it made me smile so I don’t care.

Advent Calendar Day 5 (4 was a Ben day and he’s not back until tonight).

Picture: a half-hearted text block that says ‘Yum, Christmas treats!’ but lacks any sort of conviction whatsoever.

In the rabbit hole that is conspiracy theory rhetoric, an occasional comment catches my attention and I come out going ‘either you are AI, simply believe everything you’re told or are just plain bloody mad’.

Advent Calendar Day 3:

Picture was of a signpost heading to the North Pole. Just in case you needed to find it.

Advent Calendar Day 2:

Ben’s picture this morning was of a candy cane, which moved even his stony Grinch persona into a feeling of Christmassy warmth. The chocolate appears to be a rendition of the third Hairy Biker who we have named Chris. Chris Muss.

Other half has just sung the first line of ‘Feliz Navidad’ as ‘Throw Cheese at me Dad’ and now I can’t unhear it.

I have updated the Things I Have Written list and as always, it amazes me how big that list has grown over the years. As ever, a big thank you to anybody who has ever read and especially commented on any of my work.

have made my own Radio Christmas Song Bingo sheet for anybody who partakes.

I refuse to count the Radio 2 mental play ALL OF THEM ON 1st DECEMBER hour as the start point, so this one is deemed to go live at 10am GMT.

Advent Calendar time!

(There will be a couple of pauses on this due to Ben being away on ‘his’ days - for context, I get the odd days so I get to open the door on my birthday and by getting the even days, so does he!)

Anyway.

Wise words indeed.
I just don't need to know what the Telegraph has written about Dungeons & Dragons. It's a newspaper for people who are frightened of samosas.

So, looks like the freelance writing gigs have dried up for me, I’m now struggling to cover the mortgage.

It won’t save me, but maybe buy a copy of Bones & Betrayals, Silence of the Dead, or the Hero Interviews so I can get a couple of quid in 3 months.

Thanks

CW: grief.

Dealing with grief is hard. Dealing with a double bereavement is harder. It’s 3 months since my dad and my father in law passed away within a week of one another and I still haven’t really hit the trigger that allows me to have a good, solid cry about it.

When I originally played Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, me dad was still with us.

Watching other people play it now and bits of it hit so differently.
