Retro & Indie video games, dragons, plants, SPACE, greyhounds, and more. Probably a few grumbles about the state of the industry and whatever Aus politics is up to.

Sure, Firstname Bunch'o'Numbers are bots from outside your territory. But an awful lot of them are your neighbour.

Stay a freak. Use an alias.

W Social eh, Europe?
And you want people to upload identification to use it.

Yeah, that can fuck off.

Over 26 new staff starting this year.

3 of them are open D&D players.

Teachers and us SSOs are nerds. Don't let the students tell you otherwise.

I play open world PVE for 90% of my playtime in GW2. Raids have historically been a place of toxic elitism. Strikes much more manageable, if you could fill a LFG.

*Hopefully* the quickplay and better UI here gets new people in, and *lets* us fail over and over to learn them :)
Get ready for quickplay raid encounters and more! Our latest blog has details on upcoming raid system improvements: www.guildwars2.com/news/new-rai...

Am I due for a DS9 rewatch? The RLM chats starting at S1 make me feel like watching DS9 again...

I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

It's wild how five minutes of uncertainty has turned into hours of hope.

That's not a criticism! I'm not trying to steal anyone's joy here, just interesting how "Hey the plane turned around; we don't know why" was responded to with such a loud "Maybe it happened!?" that we're still hearing echoes

So, I'm readying that people got excited we nearly got the front page we wanted.

But the universe still hates us.
Does the front page have the obituaries yet?

Gawler now has a second Aldi, just down the road from the first Aldi.

It's much like the first Aldi, except with longer aisles. And Self Serv checkouts. Self Serv checkouts that work. Self Serv checkouts that work quicker than Colesworths. Self Serv checkouts that don't have a human monitor.

I have taken a couple of artistic liberty raptor orders in the past, but they all had a fantasy element to them, this is my first time taking a crack at making an "actual critter" of a dinosaur, how did I do?

Highguard, that upcoming hero shooter, no not that one, no not that one too, also no not that one, still not that one... You know, the game that's a synonym for Overwatch and Concord 2.0, that one.

Has it really had effective total silence? Is the marketing ploy to have people talk about silence?

Finally getting the Landrover, moving a few tiles, and being presented with the vehicle battle is a memory I still have. Then you get two more later with different Optin abilities.

I love PSIV.
I LOVE how over the top the UI is for Phantasy Star 4's vehicle battles holy shit

First episode of LGR Oddware of 2026! An odd wearable this time

Diving into the Deja View Camwear from 2003! A lil video camera that clips onto glasses, aiming to be a head mounted TiVo for instant replays of reality! Or maybe it was about recording bagel-stealing squirrels…

Here's something I miss from decades past. Puzzle Book subscriptions.

Sure, you can still get a little crossword or sudoku book at the Colesworth magazine section, but they're loaded with ads and overhyped front pages promising a chance at a potential prize.
