(he thought that was a hint that they wanted to promote him, but it was clearly a "stay in your lane" from the situation he described, so awkward). Also talked about money and prices of his possessions a LOT
Basically, if he set out to live the #cringe lifestyle, he nailed it

He sounded like he was trying to impress someone. He also loudly tried to explain the use of "Latinx" (incorrectly) and showed off about how his job told him not to worry about looking for things to improve because that was more senior

Sitting in Max's Steakhouse in Prague, being subjected to the "thoughts" of a recent hire at #redhat #Prague who is also explicitly and loudly celebrating the rise of fascism, talking about wanting to desecrate Marx's grave, and how much he wants to celebrate at Mussolini's tomb. Yikes.

As folks are criticizing reviewers who didn't call out the racism in Ace of Spades... and as I'm editing the next @saltandsass.bsky.social ep... I had the thought - @613mandi.bsky.social and I have been podcasting for nearly a decade together and advocating for inclusive gaming longer than that.

Who do I know in Scotland?
I will be in Edinburgh next month for Tabletop Scotland, and then travelling around the country and maybe down to Northern England while I wait for my Czech visa. Let's do something!

CGE just announced they are going to be giving away 100% of the profit from their Harry Potter game to pro-trans charities!!

www.instagram.com/p/DNG48n-IVP...

A screenshot of CGE’s instagram page:

“With the above in mind, and after many heartfelt and vital discussions both internally and with members of the affected community, we have decided to donate 100% of the profit from this game to appropriate charitable organizations. We will ensure that an amount equal to our greater than the fee paid to license this product will go directly to organizations that provide support for the trans community.

We evaluate profits and make charitable-giving decisions each December, and we will continue using this annual process to direct the games profits. We will listen to recommendations from the community to help guide our choices of organizations that provide support for the trans community. Or goal is to select those that offer direct, practical help to people in need — for example, services similar to the emergency hotline that was recently discontinued.”

Looks like about 20 minutes via the canal tow path, would you agree?

Oh neat! I have nothing planned for the day and don't feel touristy, so I figured Camden Market would be an easy starting point. Is it far to the zoo?

Drayer Ink 🔜 Tabletop Scotland 🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🤎🖤🩶🤍 @drayerink.bsky.social · Aug 8

I am venturing out to Camden Market tomorrow. What should I do? Where should I go? Any tips or advice for a first-timer navigating London?

but the twist was that it was filled with beer piped out from the pub, so it behaved differently - you had to account for the frothing.🍺🍻
The soundtrack was "Come, Landlord, fill the flowing bowl" by the (English) Spinners, and it's still in my head

Just woke up from a much longer sleep than usual, hooray! I was dreaming about designing a puzzle computer game where you combine sequences of connected fountains ⛲️ to create the most attractive and efficient display...

There's a lot of interesting architecture to investigate here, for sure. A walking tour would be my recommendation

Dishoom looks interesting! Any recommendations?
