- Reposted by George QuailSeason 2 of Dinosaur is out today on BBC iPlayer, and soon on Hulu. It’s a great show you should all watch, and one I’ve viewed as a kind of thematic companion piece to Orla!, even though only one features mass murder and giant man-eating monsters. Funnily enough, NOT the one called “Dinosaur!”

It's been extra hard growing a company while sticking to my guns on lots of things, & sometimes frustrating, but the payoff is THIS *gestures around* and a warm heart. I love it.

- Reposted by George QuailIn April 1976, in a café at Cambridge railway station, Douglas Adams bought some biscuits. We know this because he told the story so many times that it somehow opened up a wormhole in the space-time continuum, travelling both forwards and backwards and, intriguingly, sideways in time. (1/some...)

- A reminder to any Scottish Oldhammer types - though I play newish games as well, honest - that the Bruhammer Discord was recently set up. #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #oldhammer #warmongers #Scottish #bruhammer discord.gg/5khHsH4zv
- We've been slowly expanding it in the last couple of months after a decade on Facebook We've got chat areas for various topics, including the Glasgow based Blood Bowl league I want to start early February & our proposed group trips to Sheffield & Nottingham for Oldhammer events later in the year.
- Some Bruhammer types had a delayed Christmas multiplayer game of Warhammer 40k 1st edition in Stirling at the weekend. While there's inevitably a strong Central Belt bias our tendrils do also travel beyond that. Aberdeen, Elgin and even Shetland have some of our posse!
- The Facebook group qas our center for a while but I'm trying to encourage moving some stuff over to the Discord, so any of you interested should check out the invite link (or message me for more details.) discord.gg/5khHsH4zv

- Reposted by George QuailLawsuit filed against Wizards of the Coast. Much of it is some combo of late-era capitalist ridiculousness over stock-holder rights & resellers of MtG being upset that the market was saturated. But the salicious claim is that WotC destroyed their $1000 30th anniversary sets when they didn't sell.

- Reposted by George QuailWhat I feel too: D&D 4e was a strong game by star designer @robheinsoo.bsky.social that was weighed down by the burdens of being D&D, simultaneously being part of setting reboots, and being beholden to Hasbro's over-the-top expectations. But we now have 13th Age (and still have 4e for that matter).
- This was such an enormous story at the time and genuinely part of why the Democrats then ended up weaker in Florida in time for the 2000 Presidential election. Amazing to consider this now constitutes restraint in immigration policing in the United States.

- I can keep on top of maybe one or two Discords at a time, but the insistance that every individual game system/rom hack/content creator needs a specific Discord definitely gets overwhelming very quickly. Come back forums, all is forgiven.
