Sleepless Knight

Hi there, Bluesky folks... it's me. Can I come in and sit down now? I've been waiting outside in the cold for ages. Nobody told me the door was open.

My plan was all #SteamNextFest demos this week, but AI has destroyed that too. 1000s of vibe coded AI rip-offs have made it hard to find the genuine developers. So... PLAN B!! Join me, from 8pm BST, as I try to claim a space station in #NoMansSky youtube.com/live/AFy6Euy...

Friends — It's time to defund Elon Musk. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

DO IT YOUR WAY Learn to pilot a submarine with your friends. Do training missions or deep dive directly into the action. Play the free demo now. Wishlist. store.steampowered.com/app/4096830/... #multiplayer #coopgame #submarine #friendslop #chaos #pcgaming #coop #freedemo #steamgame #steam

Multiplayer submarine game #SONAR is due to release on Oct 29th, but there is already a DEMO, so... since the #Deadweights have proven themselves adept at sinking in the past... why not at least make it look like we're doing it on purpose. Join us tonight, from 8pm BST youtube.com/live/hqKOPgo...

So tonight, as I tucked my kids in for bed... I asked for a minute of silence, to honour the brave Ewoks who gave their lives at the Battle of Endor. I heard some sniggering coming from their beds. Honestly... the lack of respect is astonishing.

The #Deadweights return to #JumpSpace tonight, but have @keepsakegames.bsky.social fixed it for Xbox yet? Join us tonight, from 8pm BST (Noon PDT), as we try yet again to play this game we loved so much during the demo phase. youtube.com/live/r5_fFr8...

We only got through 2 phases of #Expedition23 last week, in #No Man's Sky, so tonight, from 8pm BST (Noon PDT), "Our Journey Continues"... uh... continues. Hope to see you in the chat: youtube.com/live/boctCly...

I'm a week late but tonight (24th Sept) I finally tackle #Expedition23 in #NoMansSky. Apparently this is a long one, but it's a journey back through 10 yrs of #NMS so I'll do my best to complete as much as possible during the stream. Join me from 8pm BST (Noon PDT) youtube.com/live/ctxG2AH...

I've signed. Will you? Add your name to help make wildfire prevention and climate resilience a national priority, and stand with the communities affected by wildfires. campaigns.nationaltrust.org.uk/page/196457/...

#Microsoft are dragging their feet again with #Expedition23 for #NoMansSky, so... we won't be doing that, but there are other things to explore in the #Cosmos update, so join me tonight, from 8pm BST (Noon PDT), and let's see what's new out there. youtube.com/live/qxpue9M...

In terms of comparative scale, the Billy Hog Stand is roughly equivalent to the height of The Empire State Building, and that's not counting the sign on the roof! Tonight, from 8pm BST (Noon PDT), I'm going to build up to it, using chest-high clay ramps. 😬 Join me - youtube.com/live/SZKNn40...

So what do I do now I've finished everything currently in #Grounded2 ? Well, I have way too many half-built bases I need to sort out. Join me tonight, from 8pm BST (Noon PDT) for a "relaxing" building stream. We can chat while I farm... *checks notes* 212,352 pine cones! youtube.com/live/78LWhja...

Search for answers about your crew’s disappearance and strive to escape a reality-bending cosmic phenomenon in Rivage, launching September 22 on PC. #gamescom2026

Thalassophobes might want to sit-out tonight's #Grounded2 livestream, because we're going to the bottom of the pond and over the abyss drop-off... a long fall into crushing, freezing darkness... to hunt a monster. If you're brave enough, join me from 8pm BST (Noon PDT) youtube.com/live/tzWd78e...

Join us tonight, from 8pm BST (Noon PDT), as we return to #ShiftAtMidnight, to see if we can make it through 13 graveyard shifts at the gas station, in an apocalypse that makes zombie ones look like playdates with cuddly kittens. youtube.com/live/dMSFbIn...

The latest update to #Grounded2 is now 2 days old, and it's a biggie! New enemies, new biomes, new weapons & armour, changes to the PTS, the return of ZIPLINES! and a lot more. Join me from 8pm BST (Noon PDT), as I run screaming, from a host of new terrifying creatures. youtube.com/live/-3fLJgl...

Partial solar eclipse, from Nottinghamshire, England. Reflected in a double-glazed window and captured on a phone. 😆

A couple of bits of good news and a haircut made me feel like a new man today... Unfortunately, glancing in the mirror, I saw the same old man with shorter hair and a stupid grin on his face.

I'm surprisingly okay with that.

This week we're stepping out of our comfort zone, and into a 90s-style horror game, to see if we can tell human from... not. It still has humour, of course. I wouldn't be playing it otherwise. So join us tonight, from 8pm BST (Noon PDT) as we play #shiftatmidnight. youtube.com/live/EVSNuH5...

13 years of marriage to this absolutely amazing lady, and I would not trade a single one of them for an entire lifetime in some other imagined existence.

Tonight, the Deadweights return to #rvthereyet. And this time... ALL FOUR OF US WILL BE THERE! Join us, from 8pm BST (Noon PDT), as we navigate the ice and snow of Mt. Yurbuttsk in our trusty RV. youtube.com/live/R6Fjti2... @rvthereyetgame.com

Years ago I wrote a blog post suggesting various actors for a Bond Villain role, and rating them. I just found the entry I wrote about #SamnNeill. 😭 I will miss him so much. sleeplessblog.wordpress.com/2017/08/16/f...

It's getting harder to survive in Brookhollow Park, so your buggies might need a little workout. Fortunately there's an app for that now. UNfortunately... you have to tangle with O.G.R.R bugs to get the ingredients. Join me in #Grounded2, tonight, from 8pm BST (Noon PDT) youtube.com/live/ljb49bi...

Well... I've died of dysentery on the Oregon Trail many times in my gaming life, but never before have I shit myself to death with a friend. #TrailandError is going to change all that, tonight. Join us, from 8pm BST (Noon PDT). youtube.com/live/SuEzUio...

Tonight I'm heading back into #JumpSpace, to check out if the changes to the game (and there are a LOT) have improved the experience. Only Series S users will be able to tell me if the memory leak issues are still present. Join me in the chat, from 8pm BST (Noon PDT). youtube.com/live/FahEZVQ...

It's #SteamNextFest time again, so I'll be checking out just a couple of of games, from Next Fest's selection of well over 4000 completely free to play demos! Join me tonight, from 8pm BST (Noon PDT) youtube.com/live/uiYoIJd...

Are you paying attention #Xbox? THIS is why people are leaving your platform in droves! I'm currently scrolling (once again) through the THOUSANDS of free demos, available during #SteamNextFest. #Gamers (and movie-goers, but... that's another conversation) want innovation! #ThisIsTheWay

Following the lifeless #XboxShowcase from last week, I'm very happy to see #SteamNextFest helping to change the state of the industry, in favour of innovation. I'm currently scrolling through a list of over 4000 demos available during Next Fest. 👍 #ThisIsTheWay

I've promised my viewers more #Deadweights content for a while now, so I finally put together a LONG supercut from over a year of our recordings (some unseen), and it will premiere on #YouTube this Tuesday, 16th Jun, @ 9pm BST (Noon PDT). We'll be in the chat, so come join us! youtu.be/m57zuVHXa60

Cracked open an 80% cacao dark chocolate bar we had in the pantry and it tasted exactly like I expected it to, which was like a pretentious brown crayon.

If you've played medieval RPGs, you may have wondered how hard it can possibly be to stop people who aren't "on the list" from sneaking/lying/cheating their way into a castle. Tonight, from 8pm BST (Noon PDT), I'll find out, as I try the "Gate Guard Simulator" playtest. youtube.com/live/C5bieLe...

Hey! Did you miss this year's #XboxShowcase?? No problem. Just take last year's showcase and add a number to every other title... and then add a DLC to all the ones in-between. Originality is truly dead over at #Xbox

It's the last 24 hours for this project from @wraithmarked.bsky.social, which features a long introduction from me as well as lots of illustrations and other excellent stuff. If you're a Douglas Adams fan, this is gonna be something you want to check out. www.kickstarter.com/projects/wra...

Matthew Lillard criticized the industry for prioritizing celebrities over voice actors in animation: “The ability to carry a film, as the lead of a film with only a voice, is a power very few people have. The idea that they keep hiring crappy celebrities to carry huge films is killing us.”

Still have that friend who won't try #Windrose? Try this: youtu.be/74cFXTfOFF8 It worked on one of my friends.

I'll be kicking around the archipelago again in WINDROSE, tonight, from 8pm BST (Noon PDT). YES! AGAIN! *extravagant Pirate laughter* We're gonna Windrose until the Windrose-ing is done! And then... when they drop a big update later in the year... we'll be back again!! youtube.com/live/H61etbP...

Join me tonight (Thursday, May 7th) from 8pm BST (Noon PDT). I'm still loving #windrose as much as ever, but The Sitting Duck has had a bit of an upgrade, and there's a lot of uncharted water to explore, so let's colour in the map a little more and see what's out there. youtube.com/live/T1KAoZf...

For fans of #Windrose: On this day in history, May 7th, 1694...

I have changed my regular streaming day to a THURSDAY, and (checks calendar) that's today! So join me in #Windrose tonight, from 8pm BST (Noon PDT)! I'll be the pirate getting fucked up by wolves, and... erm... goats. See you there? youtube.com/live/xgsMvHC...

#Windrose has now launched into Early Access, and there's a lot more to explore, so join me tonight, from 8pm BST (Noon PDT), as I battle with pirates alive and dead... once I figure out how to survive an encounter with a a pig! youtube.com/live/xjurnqW...

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

I couldn't breathe because I was laughing so hard. That bird's an asshole! 😂😂😂😂😂 Best with volume up.

Tonight from 8pm BST (Noon PDT) I'll be playing survival/crafting adventure game #thelastcaretaker. Join me in the chat, as I attempt to keep the lights on in a lonely world left behind by humans. youtube.com/live/hy4kd1w...

For almost 7 yrs an unfinished achievement has been staring at me from my Xbox idle screen. And for 5 of those yrs it has said 94% complete! I'm sick of seeing the damn thing, so tonight (Mar 17), from 8pm GMT (1pm PDT), Imma fish around and find out! youtube.com/live/DnN9z7n...

Tonight, from 8pm GMT, I'm returning to CURE: A Hospital Simulator, with a special guest. There have been a few updates since I last played and more than a week away from something pretty much wipes it from my memory anyway, so... it should be interesting. youtube.com/live/7LigJI0...

Tonight (Mar 3rd), from 8pm GMT (Noon PT), the #Deadweights return to the sea! Last week I had a brief look at upcoming pirate adventure, #WindRose. Now we're gonna see if it's as promising in multiplayer. It's still a demo, so it has limitations, but we want to see if we need to keep an eye on it.

I am now into my 19th year of creating content on #YouTube. But it wasn't always gaming. 17 yrs ago I was still making real films, with real people. Here we are, making "Apollo 13: in 60 Seconds" for the 2009 Empire Film Awards. I built all sets, props and costumes by myself, largely out of junk.

It's #SteamNextFest again, and I'm dabbling with demos for a few games I've had on my watchlist for a while. I'll be playing #Atmosfar and #Outbound for sure, and a couple of others I'm looking forward to, if there's time. Join me, from 8pm GMT (Noon PT) youtube.com/live/2gn8ZeA...
