  • I realise you are having health issues from reading your other posts and you should always prioritise that!

    I really have so little interest in that short form twitter esque posting that I actively reject it so if I’m being completely honest I doubt I will go there.

    Don’t push yourself to post the long form posts, get better and the best of luck with your upcoming appointments. I will look forward to your return to the long form post and hopefully with accompanying info of how well you are doing physically in the future :D

    You are not an imposter, you are the fediverses premier gaming journalist and I’ll fight anyone that says different xD

    Have a good day!



  • I’ve always avoided games based “journalism” (and all journalism really) as in my experience it tends to be full of over opinionated bullshit however your posts are different.

    I genuinely enjoy your posts, they are well written, clear and succinct. You offer your opinion on things you genuinely enjoy but usually as a side note rather than baking it into the news or subject you are writing about and it is generally clear you are just passionate about the things you are writing about.

    Where can I join the PerfectDark fan club?



  • Absolutely. They don’t like being called out on it either. I am very vocal towards them and their blocking of cycle lanes and consequently I have had multiple drivers try and knock me off my bike. I had one guy when I was on foot try and run me over and then get out and try and fight me.

    What also really pisses me off is that they are allowed to use bus lanes. Bus lanes, in my opinion, should be there the encourage use of PUBLIC transport by making it quicker for buses to get through traffic. They should not be benefiting these private businesses and encouraging even more entitled cunts driving taxis.

    Honestly I could rant all day about taxi drivers, I fucking despise them.



  • As a cyclist this is even worse, the amount of people that pass dangerous close and then I catch up to them and they are sending a text in their lap is absurd.

    The deliveroo type food delivery riders on scooters are even worse, they drive around my city permanently looking at their phones with one hand on it tapping the screen, passing me as close as they can it seems. I also see them driving on foot paths and down cycle lanes to cut between two roads so they don’t have to go around more and more often in the last year or two.

    And worst of the worst, taxi drivers. They are arrogant, entitled cunts who think they own the road just because they drive as a job.

    I fully support these idiots being banned as they are all menaces on the road and are endangering countless peoples well being with their irresponsible driving. I don’t care if “that’s their livelihood” they should consider that before driving like pricks.




  • I don’t do it much any more but one of my favourite pass times used to be taking a load of acid and then going to a very public place or somewhere that you are forced to be around lots of people and have many interactions.

    Busy shopping centres, a zoo, busy pubs, an ex girlfriends family wedding where I knew no one. I guess it was kind of masochistic in a way but I just really enjoyed putting myself into challenging situations whilst tripping. The challenge was always to try take the highest dose possible and still be able to actually keep my shit together. I’m sure plenty of people I interacted with at those times thought “this guy is blasted out of his mind, Jesus” but who gives a fuck, I’m never seeing these people again and it actually made me want to speak to people in the first place.

    These days I prefer to just lay down, listen to music and drift off into the stratosphere.




  • But isn’t your pay pro-rata? In the UK (unless it has changed, which I doubt) then they get a pro-rata wage, so yes they still get paid in those months even though they aren’t working but the money they are getting paid in those months is taken from the pay cheques across the other months to make it all balance out.

    So really they aren’t getting paid for those months as they don’t work them.
