I took up blacksmithing as a hobby recently; been designing and forging some small and simple designs.
This is a work-in-progress headphone stand (see finished example). I can’t get over how cool it is that I made this shape by “heating steel and hitting it with a hammer (lots)”

Fuck. @replyall 😥
I get that maybe this needed to happen, but do not ask me to feel good about it.

1/ I thought I'd write about my experience re-entering South Korea, where I reside, during this global pandemic. It wasn't a 5 minute job like in London Heathrow where I was out in no time. Instead, it took 24 hours. Here's what happened:
It was a small and personal loss amongst the general bedlam of the 12 months that followed, but on 31/12/2019 we lost this beautiful brindle berserker.
Ripley, you didn’t miss much in 2020, but we still miss the hell out of you.

Exactly none of these are things that I want. This has been going on for months.
Anyone know where the “Please never bother me again” button lives?

One of these is an apocalyptic struggle between agents of a corrupt and shadowy cabal and a force of mindless toxin-spewing abomination; paid for in collateral damage and the lives of an exploited younger generation. The other is Evangelion.

2020 is just revealing how shitty the systems we have in place are. why are we in quarantine for so long? shitty government. why is distance learning so stressful? shitty education system. why is there still systemic racism? shitty the-prison-system-is-literally-built-on-slavery
I’ve been a fan of Supergiant since Bastion (listened to its soundtrack more times than I can count) & always loved the characteristic way that they play with the intersection between narrative & gameplay. Hades has that & more; feels like their best yet in every respect.
It’s rare for me to to get hooked on a game these days, & even rarer for me to tweet about them, but I bought @SupergiantGames’ “Hades” for the Switch on Friday, & bloody hell it’s good.
Art, gameplay, music, and writing are all absolutely top notch. Just all-around stunning.
