This is me politely asking you all to review this skeet and, as a result, think twice before engaging in "smell-this 'activism.'"

OK, so... why are you his street team? Why are you signal-boosting?

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

FYI, there is a setting that will force you to write an ALT text before it will post. A useful feature and it takes less than a minute to write something descriptive for most posts
Really annoyed by the proliferation of accounts on here habitually not using alt text, including institutional and political accounts that really should be. It’s so easy to do - if you care about accessibility, please use alt text when posting images.

Succumbed and bought the Die Hard blu ray boxset. I hate film franchise boxsets like Alien, Robocop, Predator, Terminator, Halloween etc, because I only ever want 1-2 films. But, they're always hard to get individually
Die Hard was unusually hard to get on its own, so I shall suffer owning 4 & 5

Slipped in two new book orders from @gollancz.bsky.social
The new SF Masterwork - Barefoot in the Head - arrives after a long break for the series. This one celebrates 100 years since the birth of Brian Aldiss
And the new Alastair Reynolds, Halcyon Years

Book 86: Inland Deep by Richard Tooker (1936)
A fast paced, by-the-numbers, fun pulp lost world story. Deep cave systems, careless dynamite usage, frog men, underground seas, dinosaurs etc; this owes much to Jules Verne’s classic
No story or character depth, but frankly who cares?

Order of Ecclesia has one of the better combat systems in a Castlevania, but the difficulty spikes and level design are a bit aggravating so far

Challenge beaten; I got through it!
A foundation of 20thC SF-fantasy-horror, this is astonishing in scope and imagination for its time
Even despite its frustrating, repetitive style, I mostly loved it

I swear if any of you mention that the first game is fixed for training purposes, I may have to block you 😂

My Star Wars Outlaws arrived earlier, so starting that tonight as well.
It won’t be proper pulp adventure Star Wars which seems to be long since gone sadly, but hopefully pass as a decent grungy space opera setting
It certainly performs well on the Switch 2

Whilst I await Star Wars Outlaws, it is time for my eighth Castlevania of the year: Order of Ecclesia
This will be the last of the handheld games excluding anything from the 3DS era. I need to check if I own that one

A shame given how much sheer quality has been produced in a single year across multiple genres. Probably the stand out publisher for 2025
In other words, go to their site and buy some books
