- Aside from the fact that after a while they make me feel a little bit sick, I've decided this lunchtime that I also don't eat bananas out of spite for the fact they physically spoil other fruit...
- Socialising a stray practically from scratch is the big 2026 project. This is Bixie, our new tortoise-shell. She has been adopted from a local charity who found her on the street earlier this month We are 3 days in and hopeful that she is starting to feel a little more comfortable in her new home😊
- In loving memory 💕
- What a strange year 2025 has been. My career has been a rollercoaster that is still ongoing, I moved back in with my parents (again), became an aunt and published another book. Weird to think it all happened in 365 days. But now we go again! Happy New year everyone! May 2026 be awesome for you all.
- Today has been wild.
- Love watching my train slowly arrive later and later in the evening. At least I can think about storytelling while I wait.
- Turns out building a consistent marketing programme is still quite difficult. Who'd have thunk?
- So I've finally, finally finished Hades 2 main story (I still have one thread to pull on for a character)... What a weird but beautiful experience. Apart for one (pretty major, imo) trip up there is some really beautiful storytelling in this game and it's hammered a place into my heart... 1/2
- I have a lot of thoughts about Dispatch. All positive. I kind of want to write an article about it but a) I don't know where to put them these days b) I'm not done with the first playthrough yet and c) I have absolutely no idea where to start at the moment. Such a good game though. Really enjoying!
- I had an absolutely amazing time going to see Linkin Park, supported by JPEGMAFIA and Spiritbox, at Wembley yesterday evening. A whole afternoon of great music, so many good new memories ☺️
- One of the best strategy games currently on the market! (If I do say so myself...)

- And just so we're extra clear, yes, this court case was backed and partially funded by JK. Next time, buy a Terry Pratchett book.
- I feel the need to put my last post in some context. Today the Supreme Court in the UK ruled that according to the Equalities Act, trans women are not legally classified as women, which is determined by biological sex. This was after extensive lobbying by women's rights groups 1/x
- Rosie Duffield once again completely misunderstanding the assignment...

- Split Fiction is a masterpiece.

- Noooo. That's fucking heart breaking. Wayne June burned himself into my memory forever with the iconic voiceover provided to Darkest Dungeon and DDII. I would not have picked the first game up if it was not for his execution on the writing. This is just... so sad.

- Yep! It's pretty good. Kingdoms has all the shades of gameplay that's easy to learn and difficult to master. Hero movement across the map is definitely key; I've already found myself tunnel-visioning on an objective and being caught out. It is scratching the XCOM itch.
- If you need me for the next few hours, you'll find me in the Kingdom, getting beaten to a pulp by the new Darkest Dungeon II update 😆😆😆 Welcome home, such as it is.
- I recently found this survey for a work thing (www.womeningames.org/wp-content/u...). With how popular The Witcher is now compared to 10 or 15 years ago, The Witcher 4 is a great opportunity to improve the representation of women in games, if done well.
- I hope y'all are having a good week, followers!😊And I hope you have a good weekend ahead!

- He may be a villain, but I love him anyway. Or maybe I love to hate him. He is certainly a very fun character to write and "play" when I run the scenes from the books in my mind. The finale for book 2 is shaping up to be one of my favourites yet... 🤐😁
- Tasha is, very deliberately, a very two-sided character, which proves a little tricky to write in quick-pace scenes with a lot of interactions with other characters. It would be super fun (and a lot of work, I'm sure) to make those scenes in a TV show, making her appear to some but not others.
