- I've been rewatching Hunter X Hunter recently and every time Hisoka is on screen I can't help but hear "My Type" - Saint Motel, in my head because of a 10y/o amv from @doomquasar.bsky.social
- Friends and I have collaboratively created such deep, meaningful settings with The Ground Itself, I have a physical copy and it's always a delight.

Roll20, which owns DriveThruRPG, told Rebel Scum's designer (@9thlevelgames.bsky.social) that allowing their "hateful content" and political speech on its platform constituted a "slippery slope." - The first installment of AWAY DAYS, the new project from @hanrahan.tv has dropped. Go check it out, it's important journalism being done well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7kV...

- I'm watching a youtube tutorial on how to use a specific function in some software I'm using, and I can see it was being recorded at 4:09am according to the clock on their taskbar. Brother sacrificed sleep so I could learn.

- A friend and I have been on a Battle Brothers binge, it's such a good game. The legends mod just elevates it though, it's really great.
- 2nd Palkia pack and I get this... holy shit.

- I had a new player test my #ttrpg project earlier in the week, the beautiful bastard exploited some mechanics I didn't realise were broken but gave some really encouraging feedback, all part of the process I suppose 😅

- Reposted by Richard John DavisBack in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia. Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)
- Walked the dog and found a guy parked up in the industrial estate practicing the saxophone with his sheet music balancing on the wing mirror. It was 0°C outside. Dude fucking rocks...
- So I'm playing a halfling unchained rogue in a pathfinder 1e campaign that's been running for over a year now and is always a blast. Main focus is on social manipulation to get into places, but sneaking is always an option. I once managed to diplo our way out of an encounter with an aboleth...
- There are those times that you feel as though you're finally an actual adult and not just a kid pretending, looking forward to christmas for the break from work instead of the food, drink and presents is definitely one of those times...

- I'm sure I'm bastardising this story, but before I was born my grandparents went on holiday with my parents to Cyprus and found a local white wine that they really enjoyed.

- It's 18:30, 3 days into November, it's been dark for a couple hours, and the ice-cream van is driving around the neighborhood with their jingle going. Ambitious.

- Reposted by Richard John DavisLots of new followers lately - fun times! I'll be releasing picoCAD on Steam before the end of year. If you have a minute over, please wishlist! <3 store.steampowered.com/app/2800590/...
- So in preparation of having my boiler replaced and a gas fire put in, I wanted to replace the hearth, which was under the old gas back boiler. In my infinite wisdom I removed it the day before the plumber was due, but called to say they fucked up and won't be here til next week. ❄️
- In 2015 the patent held by Bandaid Namco over mini-games in loading screens expired, almost 10 years later and as I have to wait for CAD to load an assembly I can't play frogger. What a missed opportunity...

- I decided to cheat on my diet and bought a chocolate covered tray bake flapjack thing, took a few bites and realised something was off. Between the food and the tray was a load of green mould... Suddenly I'm no longer hungry and sticking to the diet again so... Yay?

- I've been pushing myself to go for longer walks with the dog to try and lose some weight, I have the uneasy feelings that all I'm really achieving is building his endurance and expectations as I suffer...
- My productivity out of work has been low recently, to make matters worse balatro on mobile has been released this week. It'll be a miracle if a single chore gets done.

- I just googled a journalist appearing on a podcast I listen to, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the third result was their Bluesky profile. This platform really is growing and getting its name out there huh?
