We can't forget this classic.

Oh no, the Reganbot has become self aware. Once it realises the true extent of its power, all of humanity will be doomed!

Fun fact: Circa 1999/2000, some guy on AIM tried to convince me that I was a robot and posted everything as a series of chat transcripts to his Geocities site.

Yikes, that’s not a fun diagnosis. I have Ulcerative Colitis, which is related to Chron’s, so I know how bloody shitty it can be. Sounds like you’re having a much worse time with it than I’ve ever had though.

Definitely a good call to try exploring other options, but I would say to try and keep an open mind about the surgical option. I’ve been in remission through medication for almost five years now, but I can imagine it’s gonna get less effective as I get older and at some point I will probably have to get mine out.

One thing to note, you will likely be put on a course of steroids called Prednisone to quickly reduce the inflammation. It has different side effects for everyone, but one of the more common ones (and what I experienced the most) is constantly feeling hungry and unable to feel ‘full’. Find any of those places with a  ‘Man vs Food Challenge’ and trust me, you’ll be eating for free that day.

I'm not loving it, but it's been an enjoyable read so far. It has certainly stuck with me and I find myself eagerly awaiting any chance I get to start another chapter. That being said, although I really like all the individual ingredients, the pie as a whole falls short just a little - can't quite put my finger on why though.

Anyways, I gotta get back to reading some more. The last chapter taught me all about magic Sumerian jizz, this is wild.

When I was younger, I used to be a big reader. I pretty much used to always have something that I was reading at that point in time. I started to drift away from books, not in a 'Reading? I ain't got time for that!' kind of way - it just became less habitual. Even when I did pick something up, it usually ended up being just another Star Wars EU novel or a biography of sorts - and the likelihood of me even finishing it? Yeah, not great..

I had a lot of downtime at my old job, so I decided to get myself a Kindle to pass some time. I jumped straight in to Star Wars books first, with it being familiar territory and all, but then I branched out in to attempting some books that I had started in the past, but never finished.

Something had clicked. The link to the part of my brain that loved to read and HAD to read had returned. By habitually reading every single day, I now have that need to always be reading something.

Anyways, this is what I've read since getting the Kindle.

Star Wars: From A Certain Point of View Short Story Anthology

Star Wars: Cobalt Squadron by Elizabeth Wein
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Phllip K. Dick

Fun fact: I found out myself literally right before meeting you for the breakfast quest.

Yup. I too have been underestimating our moose overlords...

That actually happened last week, I'm afraid.

Sod it, I'll do my own predictions too!

January

After getting rather drunk, Faldor stripped down and stood bollock naked atop the Eiffel Tower, screaming 'VA TE FAIRE CUIRE LE CUL!' at passersby. He was swiftly kicked out of France and returned to Bristol.

February

Trey wins the Best Picture Oscar for a movie he directed under a pseudonym. To keep his identity under wraps, the Oscar is accepted by a puppet.

March

The UK leaves the EU with no deal. This opens the doors to better relations with Canada, enabling free movement between the two nations. To take advantage of this, BDA brings over all the British forumers and sets them to work as roto monkeys. BDA finally completes Innervate.

April

Abbie's publishing company employs a third person. After finding out they both really like The Phantom Thread, productivity plummets. Another person is brought in to help bring it back up, but they also really like The Phantom Thread too. Eventually they all decide to just rebrand themselves as a Phantom Thread fan club that publishes a fortnightly fanzine.

May

France wins the Eurovision Song Contest with a power ballad by our very own Saniss. After winning, he went on to release a topless calendar, which went on to become the best selling item on Amazon.fr for three months.

June

Tomahawk wins big in the Norwegian Lottery. He uses his winnings to attempt to make Norwegian Brown Cheese and international sensation. It fails. Turns out 'Move aside Cheddar, get down to Brown Town!' is not that great of a slogan.

July

Zarban becomes President of the United States. Nobody knows how it happened. Overnight, Trump was gone and Zarban was in his place. Nobody questions it.

August

Jimmy B was arrested after breaking in to the BBC Archives, looking for unaired TV pilots. A subsequent raid on his home found a hoard of stolen tapes, scripts and props from unproduced, unfinished and unaired productions. In an act of defiance, he leaked it all online. He got a harsher sentence, but we all got to read the scripts for Firefly Season 2 - so swings and roundabouts really.

September

Netflix commissions an adaptation of 'The Hyacinth Disaster'. It is released to critical acclaim and we're all super proud of Writhyn. He goes on to become a Hollywood bigwig, but he's one of the good ones y'know?

October

Regan releases 'Regan's Ray Guns: Tomorrows weapons, yesterdays prices - TODAY!'. Despite making sci-fi technology a reality, he forgot to patent it and ended up seeing no financial gain from this venture.

November

Boter discovers a new type of insect in his garage. It is officially named 'The Boter Bug'.

December

With the release of Episode IX, online toxicity reaches a fever pitch. Holden decides to nuke the servers from orbit - it's the only way to be sure. Teague then goes completely off the grid, changes his identity and starts a new life putting up shelves.

I've been waiting for a free night to go through all of the videos linked that I hadn't already seen(I'm a sucker for this corner of Youtube), so tonight I started with the one right up top, 'The Gateway to Coco's Memories'. Well, let's just say no other video in this thread ended up getting a look in and I instead just ended up binging that channel.

Thanks for the new channel in my sub box!

That's the one!!!
