Due to staff shortages, wizards are developing bad backs.

I spent a few hours over the weekend clearing up my emails; deleted about 15k messages, unsubscribed from newsletters I'm not using, etc. Real nice stuff, makes my email way more usable, and clears up a bunch of space

except now I open my inbox every morning and get sad nobody wants to email me :(

anyway the important thing is that Pyre is still the top Supergiant game and remains one of the best of all time

there's even some lampshading from the Olympians at the end asking you, "wait, are we doing this? okay I guess" and boy does that bug me

pushed myself to finish off Hades 2 last night and it's amazing how much they levelled up every part of making their games except for having a story that makes any sense

(the pop-ups over the screen you have to select then tell to close were the last straw for me)

FYI - you can get:
- Firefox
- uBlock origin extension

...on an android, at least. They've done their best to add friction to using it in a browser that way, but it works. And allows you to close the screen while listening if e.g. doing laundry

Yup. In a reverse of most years, the AA-AAA games I've played this year have all been like a decade old, and the indie games are all brand new

I just want weird fantasy/sci-fi and every time I find one (scavengers reign, dark crystal, dirk gently, hell, even kaos) it's gone before I can finish a season.

I find myself looking for intentionally single season shows now, cause I know they'll actually finish

sometimes you have to make something unhinged before you start painting your new blood bowl team

A poster showing a different species of frog for every letter of the alphabet

A square for referencing possible strip colours to reference against the frogs has been added

Small Gods is absolutely my favourite, and Andy Serkis does such a good job reading it!

I'm always sad that the existence of Magnezone mostly precludes to opportunity for a mega-Magneton that's just _too many_ Magnemites

- you clean up that banksy?
- sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.

Side-by-side images of Banksy’s mural on the Royal Courts of Justice in London. On the left, the artwork appears faded and scrubbed, leaving only a ghostly outline of a judge raising a gavel over a protester holding a placard. On the right, the mural is fully visible in sharp black and white stencil, showing a judge in a traditional white wig and robes striking down at a protester who defends himself with a bloodied sign.

My favourite bit is when he pulls the lever and goes "....actually no to this" and just wanders off and over the course of the next two years occasionally goes "remember when I built and animated a composite corpse? Big yikes, anyway"

mate, I have entire drive folders of creative projects I got 75% finished before realising that what I'd made was an awful mess that should never have been brought into the world

If any of those could chase me to the arctic I'd be right fucked
