@cheapshow.bsky.social I remember Decimalisation when school tuck shop crisps changed from 7d to 2½p l. I was 6 years old. The coin that stayed in circulation for the longest from the old currency was the sixpence (tanner), which oddly enough was also 2½p.

It’s depressing to see how many homebrew games for old computers and consoles are now resorting to AI art - especially for loading screens/cutscenes. Get a pixel artist who CREATES something . Oh, and while we’re at it, stop all these “Claude” ports of games. Code it yourself or don’t bother.

I've been trying to post regularly, but with a project I'm trying to get done, ADHD and Cullen passing away, It'd be a bit crass to go "Hey, I sell shirts - look at the shirts I sell!" now, especially with anything Optimus related... so here, have some art that I have NOT put on a shirt. RIP Peter.

Remember folks, during today's eclipse don't try viewing the sun through a colander. You might strain your eyes.

Do we experience racism at work in the NHS? Yes. Increasingly so. Do we deny these people the care that they need? Very very rarely. At this point, frankly, if you don’t want the care we provide because we’re not white, go find it somewhere else.

I once trolled Mumsnet with "my 5 year old won't drink coffee unless I put 4 or 5 sugars in it, is this normal?" If you were one of the outraged mums rushing to defend my kids from caffeine - I'm not in the least sorry. It was glorious.

Without saying your age, what’s your favourite movie that came out when you were 18?
