Hello World!

Hi, I'm Amy! I mostly talk about video games and animals. I'm a bit of an anxious gremlin, so I tend to be quiet online, but feel free to say hi!

421) Coldbot. Chills your drinks by means of a wormhole leading to the darkness of the intergalactic void where, undisturbed by gravity and radiation, your beverage stays at a frosty 3 Kelvin. Absolutely no need for ice! #SmallRobotsRemastered
A robot that looks like a little fridge with banded arms and legs and a smiling face above the door. It's opening itself with one hand, revealing a yawning abyss surrounded by crackling energy, with a band of stars - perhaps a spiral galaxy viewed from almost edge-on - in the distance. The other hand is offering a can (labelled 'COLA') which is encrusted with melting ice that is dripping a puddle onto the floor. The Small Robots Remastered logo in the top right is hung with tiny icicles.

422) Cactusbot. If a real cactus is a bit high maintenance for you, or if you have one cactus that wants company, try Cactusbot, a friendly, non-spiky alternative. #SmallRobotsRemastered
A robot in the form of a potted cactus with a little happy face near the top. It's ridged vertically and has two curving arms at different heights on either side. Notably, it is not spiky. The Small Robots Remastered logo in the top right, however, is covered in cactus-like spines.

420) Munchiesbot. Goes and gets snack food if you want some for...whatever reason. #SmallRobotsRemastered
A tottering, ovoid robot with banded arms and legs, overburdened with packaged snacks, some of which have fallen to the ground behind it.

419) Secretbot. Confession, some say, is good for the soul. Certainly there is theraputic value in unburdening oneself of shameful memories, and Secretbot is here to help. Listens, understands, but whatever you tell it will go no further. #SmallRobotsRemastered
An egg-shaped robot with banded legs, sitting down with a quizzical expression. It has no mouth.

418) Sharpenerbot. Sharpens pencils for you. We're not sure what it does with the shavings. #SmallRobotsRemastered
A squat, cylindrical robot with a rounded top and banded arms and legs. It's holding a pencil in one hand while it holds another in its mouth. Its whole body is vibrating. Text in the bottom left reads, "suggested by @Al_Mc72".

417) Blessyoubot. Says "bless you!" when you sneeze. Despite this being its only task, is still always surprised when it happens. #SmallRobotsRemastered
A spherical robot with jointed arms and legs, holding its hands to its face with a shocked expression. A speech bubble coming from it shows a large exclamation mark. The Small Robots Remastered logo also has three exclamation marks.

410) Breakupbots. When a relationship ends, outsource the awkward admin - returning stuff, deleting numbers, informing mutual friends, etc. - to your Breakupbot. Yours and your ex-partner's work together to make everything as painless as possible before they too part ways. #SmallRobotsRemastered
Two cylindrical robots with banded arms and legs, each writing on a clipboard as they stand in front of boxes labelled "SAM'S STUFF" and "JAMIE'S STUFF". Each box is filled with various random items, including books, kitchenware, records, clothing, toiletries, etc. The Small Robots Remastered logo in the bottom right has been vertically split in half and slightly separated, the orphaned sections of letters given the same 3-D effect as the whole ones so they look like they've been neatly sliced.

416) Wombot. Consumes scrap metal and transforms it into perfect little cubes that can be used to create casings for new small robots, or just stacked up neatly out of the way. #SmallRobotsRemastered
A robot that looks like a wombat. It has an ovoid body and a large, ovoid head with a wide nose on the front and two elongated incisors poking out underneath. Its cheeks are bulging out as if its mouth's full (although, tbf, wombats do have cheeks like that anyway). Instead of legs it has chunky wheels, and the rear of its body has a hatch with two doors that opens horizontally. The robot is eating some bits of tarnished scrap metal while the hatch deposits several shiny, metallic cubes onto the floor. Text in the bottom right reads, "suggested by @evho315".

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

So far it seems like the thing that makes Hytale work is that it’s clearly not a game made to spite Minecraft but a game made by people with thousands of hours in Minecraft who see ways its gameplay loop can evolve and be improved for a better player experience

415) Russianbots. A bit full of themselves. #SmallRobotsRemastered
A series of six robots in the form of round-topped Russian nesting dolls, with the largest 'top half' on the right wearing a papakha (Cossack hat) with a red star on the front and smiling. The rest of the top halves are laid out in descending order of size until, on the far left, the stacked bottom halves have a tiny robot in the middle holding its arms in the air. The Small Robots Remastered logo in the bottom right is in a sort of twiddly, traditional Slavic-looking font.

414) Horsebot. When developing Unicornbot, one of the issues was the horn interface firmware. In order to progress with the project, we made a number of hornless prototypes. So, here's Horsebot: it gets a bit sad because it isn't magical but it's still a very good robot. #SmallRobotsRemastered
An ovoid robot, oriented laterally, with four banded legs and an equine tail. It has a sad expression on its little face.

413) Hoarsebot. When you lose your voice, stands on your shoulder listening intently with its little trumpet, then repeats your words through its megaphone. Sometimes gets the two confused. #SmallRobotsRemastered
A spherical robot with banded arms and legs, standing on someone's shoulder holding a conical, mechanical funnel pressed to the side of its body in one hand and a tiny megaphone in the other. It has a quizzical expression on its face.

1381) Coachbot. All aboard! Let's go on a lovely little trip! A development of Carbot, Coachbot is a cheerful mass transit solution. Its steps can convert into a ramp, or a platform that can be raised and lowered.
A chunky little bus with six banded legs instead of wheels, a zigzag antenna on its roof and a smiling face on the front. The door at one end is accessed by a set of three retractable steps.

404) D4bot. Picks up after DMbot and Brickbot, ensuring they don't leave any unpleasant obstacles on the floor. It's pretty pointy too, but don't mention it or it'll get confused trying to tidy itself up. #SmallRobotsRemastered
A smiling robot shaped like a four-sided pyramid (i.e. a D4, or 4-sided dice) with banded arms and legs, cheerfully holding up an actual D4 in one hand and gripping a modular Danish construction toy brick in the other. Text in the bottom left reads, "suggested by @souptuesday".

403) Mixbots. Hold hands and twirl each other around very fast to mix cocktails or milkshake. #SmallRobotsRemastered
Two robots shaped like beaker-style cocktail shakers, each with two little banded arms holding hands to keep their ends together as they spin aroud. Both robots are smiling happily, but some fluid is spilling out of the join between them. The logo in the top right reads, "DEALT ARMLETS SOMBREROS" (an anagram - or mixed up - of Small Robots Remastered).

398) Spinningbot. Your little ones will have fun spinning this robot friend around and around! The robot itself...maybe not so much... #SmallRobotsRemastered
A robot in the form of a child's spinning top, consisting of two slightly flattened hemispheres connected by their bases, with a flared handle on the top, tapering down to a narrow point on the bottom on which it is balanced. The robot is wobbling from side to side with a nauseous look on its face. The Small Robots Remastered logo is surrounded by faint afterimages, as if viewed by someone slightly dizzy.

397) Birbbot. Entice birds to your bird table with this convincing facsimile of an avian pal. #SmallRobotsRemastered
A perfectly spherical robot with a little beak that's open and singing, two flappy wings connected by hinges and flexible banded legs with three-toed feet. The robot looks angry for some reason.

Of course, in the UK "regulators" are never really regulators. Their raison d'etre is political: to dress political goals in regulatory clothing, to act as reputational buffer zones, to gaslight outsiders like you and I into thinking regulation exists. But never, god forbid, to regulate.
goodlawproject.org Jolyon Maugham KC @goodlawproject.org · 28d
Ofcom *might* "undertake a swift *assessment* to determine *whether* there are *potential* compliance issues that *warrant investigation*."

Hard to believe, but we waste almost a quarter of a billion pounds of public money annually on this absolute shower of a regulator.

Digital illustration of a Honey Badger, an ill-tempered beastie, mostly brownish black except for the top of its head and back which are white. It has big front claws and is making a big rawr face. Badger is standing on what looks like a cube that has been cut out of the earth. The top is grass and two side faces of the dirt and clay cube showing outward are carved into letters spelling ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

139) Undecsbot. For when you've had just about enough of bloody Christmas. #SmallRobotsRemastered
A robot in the form of a slightly tapering cylinder with four short, banded legs and an antenna with a star on the end on its top. Affixed to the front of the robot is a large, banded, conical nozzle, and attached to its back is a sack bulging with objects. The robot is angrily using its nozzle to suck in Christmas decorations which are being yanked from a tree, itself bending under the strain of the robot’s immense suction power. Baubles, stars, bells, candy canes, some holly, garlands of tinsel, and even (lit) Christmas lights are all being pulled into the robot. The angel from the top of the tree has also been displaced and is wheeling towards the nozzle, halo askew.
