Runequest these days has some very fine art created by some wonderfully talented artists, but @marksmylie.bsky.social and @katrindirim.bsky.social are really bringing Glorantha to life for me.

I had to verify my age for something the other day (can't remember what) and it seemed to be satisfied simply with the fact that I have a Hotmail account. 🤣

Great news. It'll probably take me that long to catch up :D

@flightthroughentirety.com I'm still really enjoying the pod and I have a long way to catch up, but are you folks coming back at some point to do Jodi and Ncuti's runs, or are you stopping with Capaldi?

Same (about the teeth).

I remember, as a 14 year old being in awe of those shafts of light. How did he do them!!? 😁

I vaguely remember looking into this a couple of years ago and I don't think there was.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

I think this happens pretty regularly.

Apparently there was some great excitment in Doctor Who circles the other day that seemed to have begun as 'All missing episodes found!!!' and then inevitably devolved into, 'We know some private collectors who might have some missing episodes but there are legal issues. Announcement soon'.

. @flightthroughentirety.com mentioned an animated version of the Dr Who ep, Mission to the Unknown by Ian Levine available on YouTube. I couldn't find it but I did find a recreation of the episode by some Lancashire students from a few years ago and it's really well done.

For some bizarre reason the abridged, colourised Daleks that the BBC did a couple of years ago is not available on iPlayer. Anyone know where I can find it?

I'm amazed he didn't just start hitting the BBC with law suits for 'nicking his ideas' like he did everyone else. :D

Also the Melkur was a bit shit but I thought the sets and costumes were very nice. The sets in particular were very well done.

This. Also, why do 32nd century Trek uniforms all look like they're made from EVA foam? They look really restrictive, hot and uncomfortable.

Well, that was dull. One episode of story packed into four.
There were moments where it felt like Nyssa and Adric could've become a romance which would have been nice. Old Who didn't do that sort of thing, though, sadly.

Due to the recent passing of Christopher Bidmead and inspired by the @diddlydumpodcast.bsky.social I'm watching The Keeper of Traken. It's from the end of classic Who that interests me the least, but it's always nice to see Tom in action.
Tremas? Why that's an anagram of... How very interesting. 😁

It's crying to have Kim Jong photoshopped at the far end with his trousers down.
Anyway, it's probably just made of papier mache.
