it's not "large volumes", but I /did/ write a 112-line erotic poem for @lovelyhellplace.bsky.social's Dread Delusion, which I remain very proud of 😎 www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTMR...

(also, was glad to read that the third man, like Tiny Tim, did NOT die!)

Terry Pratchett would write a novel about this man.

Now THIS is proper politician material.😀
Vote for the ones who will grumpily get on with trying to do a good job.😁

Jamaine Sonny ROSS
My principal place of residence is in the Waitäkere Ranges Local Board area.
Tenã koutou katoa. I'm running to be a Waitäkere Ranges Local Board member, and have one request: Don't Vote For Me.
So, why put myself forward for a job I don't
want? Because I told a room of 20 people I was going do it, and when I say I'm going to do something, I do it, even if I don't want to do it.
I'm a busy father, husband and television director, so I don't have time for this. If I won, I'd be spending less time with my cute 5-year-old daughter. If you vote for me, you'll break her heart.
I also don't have the necessary skillset. Apparently it involves lots of reading official documents. The only things I read are Young Adult novels set in post-apocalyptic futures.
So don't vote for me. This isn't reverse psychology. I'm serious.
Don't vote for me. I don't want this job.

HA good good good! Aye that was meant to serve as an opportunity for mutual clocking for trans players, where Aphra chooses to give you the wink so you know you’re in certain company. Or, for cis players, an example of her desire to build bridges between different people’s experiences!

Still, I think we can keep going if we have… what is it Genevieve says? “A bridge”?

That’s what Missing Persons was meant to be, for all of us.

Oh!!!! I am so glad. Thank you for playing, and for engaging so deeply.

I’m particularly glad the ending wasn’t quite (it sounds like) what you feared. It wasn’t meant to be pure grimness, pure sorrow.

We’re already missing so many people. We’ll lose more yet. There’s no way to make that easy…

An E-bike battery burned my house down on the first day of GDC. Seeking mutual aid from financially stable colleagues.

A column of fire envelops an RV in a pine forest late at night.

My bedroom and office reduced to ashes. The metal walls and roof are largely destroyed, revealing the forest beyond.

A class C RV gutted by fire. The heat of the fire has killed most of the plant life in a nearby garden.

Transcript reads:

FIRST OFFICER: Wonder about the outboard ailerons. If we put some flaps out, you think that would give us outboard?

FLIGHT ENGINEER: God, I hate to do anything.

CAPTAIN: Well, we’re going to have to do something.

It is also about ‘what are civil wars like’, but I feel that is a secondary theme and one that remains at a pretty abstract level

I liked it a lot more once I realised it was really about journalism and not America Today. The dumb political set up annoyed me less after that

oh it’s kind of an easter egg! basically there is a way to Charm your way through the Clockwork Kingdom gatebridge without doing Mikhail’s quest. It’s just that the necessary stat is insanely high (~130 IIRC)

Io Brindle ⚙️🌙 @io.brindlebrothers.com · Jan 31

it’s a horrific shame. every now and then I think to myself, “wow this day job is killing me, maybe I could do something else with my life”. except the number one other thing I’d /want/ to do is… this. lol.
