Ah, sorry I missed you. Looked for people I know in the queue when walking past, but you might have been inside already.

Another fun live recording of @lateralcast.com. Some highbrow art history about Hans Holbein the Younger's 1533 painting The Ambassadors served on a bed of cock jokes. Don't get that mix anywhere else.

A theatre stage with four people sitting on comfortable chairs, three people facing the fourth. In the background, large polystyrene letters form the word Lateral.

It's Enigma Quests' Definitely-nothing-to-do-with-Harry-Potter room. At the moment not necessarily a room I'd recommend, there's a number of improvements they can and should make (and it seems they're working on some of them).

And all the bullet points... You can tell this is AI from the other side of the room without reading a single word.

Lovely to get together again for an #EscapeRoom in London. Slightly easier to get to than the Belgian countryside...

My preferred culinary hedgehog is the Mettigel, aka a lump of raw minced meat. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mett

I went there for a work trip once and it felt like somebody played Sim City with an infinite money cheat but very very badly.

I would buy a management sim about tax law from Size Five Games but this looks like an incredible lineup even for normal people.

Daniels? Easy win.

Thinking about it, I have never seen Dolph Lundgren and you in the same room...

Hope you enjoy the book. It was such a great project to be a part of. Might do a talk in the office about it.

I'm a migrant, and I'm proud of it. It's not easy starting a new life, with a new job, finding new friends, new love, in a different language, different culture. And it was 1000x easier for me than for someone who is desperate enough to risk their life coming here.

Jan Schneider @janschne1der.bsky.social · 24d

Amazing, congrats!

Jan Schneider @janschne1der.bsky.social · 25d

Stop what you're doing and book a trip to Torchdale's "Monster Mashers" in Belgium. Then don't read anything else about it so you don't get spoiled too much. It's an incredible >2 hour experience. My mind has blown. #EscapeRooms

A group photo with four people facing the camera. Two are standing in the back holding a hoover-like sucking device, and two are kneeling in the front holding a funnel. The frame of the picture is sucked into the funnel.

Met some of my favourite YouTubers at DASH this weekend. #CrackingTheCryptic

Three men facing the camera. The man in the middle wears a safari outfit, the man on the right is holding a clipboard.

It's me on a hill in a silly outfit - must be DASH again. #playdash #dash12

Had a fantastic day helping to run the London edition again. Lots of great people & great puzzles, thanks to everybody involved!

Jan Schneider @janschne1der.bsky.social · 29d

Good luck!

Knives Out 3 isn't out yet so I watched The Residence instead. Loved it! Can recommend. #whodunit

It still blows my mind that Windows can't do what IrfanView does.

Jan Schneider @janschne1der.bsky.social · Aug 31

This is making some good points.

Just fucking use HTML

<- the language of the Web is HTML. Not Javascript. The best website is one with no JS at all. Let's make this a movement.

Just fucking use HTML

Stop reinventing the wheel. The web was doing just fine before your bloated frameworks crawled out of the sewer.

Can't believe it's already been a week since leaving #gamescom behind. Such a great time has been had, meeting so maybe wonderful people from the world of games.
