Easily the best Tron themed video... |

Hello. Last night I watched a pay-per-view football match which was pretty good though ultimately disappointing, as usual. Then I watched a thing on the telly called Condor, which was fine. After the FM chat yesterday I also re-downloaded FM19 Touch, which is meant to be the retro / user friendly version, but is totally bewildering. I spent an hour reading my emails from the Barnet chairman, then switched it off.

Yes, you're right, I really must continue watching Tron Uprising. Thanks for the reminder
Morning all.
Gamesblog: nope.
TVblog: not one, but two episodes of Justified. The second episode not only featured Alan Tudyk, but also had Art bag a big prize.
Amigablog: installed Quake, which runs very well indeed on the 68060. Then found the PowerPC version, and that (unsurprisingly) runs much, much better.
Camerablog: though I denigrated last night's Zoom session, it was actually quite good. First half was a judge using his own images to explain the judging process, second half him showing us shots from a bird photography trip he took to Wales.

Nursey due this morning, all I need to do is stuff 2,000v through the entrance mat and he will fit the theme of the day... "Sit still Chumbles, it's only ghost pain." "Well, I'm only ghost shouting, you sadist!" Oh, and Happy Birthday Luke Skywalker Mark Hamill! (Even he's younger than me) |

Hullo.
TV: Car stuff.
Games: Car stuff. Sorted the Jag out (a bit) by removing the automatic upgrades and tuning it up myself. Still sounds like a fart in the bath though, not that I fart or indeed bathe.
OTTM: The fuckwits upstairs had some deluded assholes around for drinks* last night, kept me awake till 12.30am.
*JWs drinking alcohol? Well, them ones do. All fur coat and no knickers** that lot.
**Can I still say that?

Quiet in here. You're all playing Rocket League aren't you?
Fuckers.

Tids! Tuning up dodgy jags? Is this some sort of lazybones apocalypse simulator? Tell me more.
Games! No!
Telly! No!
Books! No! Well, a brief reread of some Lovecraft because he’s having a moment. I really must watch the Colo(u)r out of Space, Cage is absolutely perfect for the deranged narrator role.
OTTM! I’ve got a new conditioner to try and nail the lockdown look. It’s a bit rich on the vanilla and cocoa butter. I feel like I’m being haunted by a vengeful pattisier.

Quiet in here. You're all playing Rocket League aren't you? Fuckers. Unfortunately not. It's the Glasgow Sept. Weekend so the child&PM are off. They're playing dolls and I'm hoovering. We'll not right now. I'm writing this guff. TV. Good girls. Games. Wee bit of Rocket League last night but need to sort out the accounts linking. Oh. Tried the summit thing in TD2. Give that a proper go next week with my pal as he's working all weekend. Hopefully more Watchdogs2 tonight. Ottm. Asda have fucked up the beer order so need to go out foraging for booze later. Tickle some tinnies in the river and see what happens. |

I downloaded the mobile phone version a couple of years ago and eventually abandoned it. There was too much focus on tactics, and hardly any on the waging of psychological warfare on your players. |

I'd pay good money to see a TV recreation of 'The White Ship'.
No funny stuff. Daemons. Mad things that once were men. A monstrous cataract, wherein the oceans of the world drop down to abysmal nothingness ...

Generally I prefer the early ones, though the one about the 'Esquimaux' is a bit off. |

Mountains of Madness or Charles Dexter Ward for me. William Hope Hodgson for my taste; all of this stuff I read in my teens when I was young and impressionable. Later, my even more juvenile flat mate was into Lovecraft (and velvet flares, pink (yeuch) shirts and horn-rimmed glasses) and long hair. My hair was veerry long too, but only because I spent my cash on beer and stuff... |

The Sargaso Sea stories are excellent.

Clark Ashton Smith is excellent for Lovecraft type (but non-racist stories). A boon friend of Lovecraft. Heavy on necromancers ...
I'd point you to my Amazon shop selling second hand Clark Ashton Smith paperbacks, but sadly it looks like it's been removed ...

That'll be the work of Big Liquorice. They're coming for you now.

Why are you all reading racist literature?
Oh....

Post by lazybones on Sept 25, 2020 10:46:04 GMT
I read a book on H.P Lovecraft that said his stories were so good because he was racist. That it was a horrifying worldview based on otherness and distrust.
This was by Michel Houellebecq. Now I'm starting to think he's a bit racist too.

What a clusterfuck today is becoming ... The usual nurses have been subbed with someone fresh out of college  And Amazon have found a parcel for a product 'out for delivery' 18 days ago. I had to order from someone else; Amazon said I couldn't ask for a refund until 14 days had passed - I ask for it, the supplier says they will contact Amazon and now it's theoretically being delivered late today ... I'm trying to cancel |
