WordPress, like pretty much everyone, is gulping up the ai hype and introducing and showing off a bunch of ai capabilities around a wordpress website (as seen in State of the Word 2025)
My question for anyone out there is, is this even wanted by anyone?
Having a third party ai take action on a website is not exciting to me. It’s just another step in taking humans out of creative endeavours.
Starting The Witcher 3 again for the 3rd time. Never got further than 2 hours or so in.
Gonna try and commit this time.
No. I’m not gonna rebuild my website core. But i think I’m gonna try to build my own classic theme, based loosely on an old version of my site.
Could be fun?
The urge to completely redesign and rebuild my website again has once again entered my mind.
Send help.
Also: should I?
I’m considering doing a regular post on a Friday called something like the “Friday Five”.
Where I will endeavour to have listened to five new albums that week and write up my thoughts on them.

Looking out at the city from the mountainous road outside of Night City.
I love this world.
Found the Mad Max: Fury Road Easter egg in Cyberpunk 2077.
It wasn’t until I read the archive document on the scene that I realised what it all was.
I do love a John Carpenter film.
Last night (and today, as I was too tired to watch the whole thing late last night) I watch The Fog for the first time.
At least I don’t remember watching it in my youth.
I enjoyed it thoroughly.
It actually made me jump in two separate parts, which was nice.
And it was more violent than I was expecting. It’s not actually that graphically violent, but there were a couple of moments I did wince.
And that’s a good thing in horror.
I loved how quick and to the point it was too. As with many of Carpenter’s films I’ve seen, it gets straight into the meat of the film and then as soon as it’s resolved it gets out quickly.
I do enjoy a slow-burn character story from time to time. But when it comes to most horror, I do enjoy it when it stays concise and gets to the point fast.
There’s still a couple of Carpenter’s films I’m yet to watch, and “The Thing” that I desperately want to re-watch.
It’s been a while since I was fourteen.
Till then, Tata.
Continuing my playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077.

I’ll just start by saying that I really enjoyed Alien Romulus.
After the atrocity that was Disney’s How to train your alien (Alien Earth) I have been in need of a good Alien fix.
This started with me finally playing through Alien Isolation and absolutely loving it.
I then thought I’d give Romulus a chance, on the advice of a friend. And I’m so glad I did.
The general vibes of the film. It felt somewhere between the first and second Alien films. And that sat great with me.
The storyline is nice and simple.
The Alien itself was actually scary again. None of that running around in bright daylight rubbish.
Some nods to previous films were okay (more on this shortly).
The face-hugger scenes were incredible. Instead of being a means to get the Alien born, they actually featured in two of my favourite scenes in the film. Creepy AF.
And the ending, although I was warned that it was a bit iffy, I actually didn’t mind. Gory as hell and went to a place I didn’t think it would.
The CGI Ian Holm. This was not needed in the slightest. Pure uncanny valley that just didn’t need to be.
All the bloody fan service. Whilst a couple of scenes that seemed to nod back to previous films were ok, most were just pure cheese.
The re-saying of certain iconic lines were just out of place. They sounded like a film student had won a competition to write some lines of dialogue for the film.
We don’t need fan service dialogue.
The film would have been a strong 8 out of 10, if it weren’t for those bits. I think it sits at about 6.5 for me after all is said and done.
Alien Romulus was actually pretty good.
The little winks to previous films and the usage of some classic lines were to its slight detriment, I thought.
But all in all a good one.
