I'm super excited to announce that my game The Labyrinth At The End Of Time has an official soundtrack from the Irish Indie rock band Bicurious!
They've helped me achieve a life long dream by letting me make a game with a soundtrack that rocks as much as the gameplay.
Crank that volume!

Oh, I've seen the aftermath of a few.

I think I probably have my northern heritage to thank for my immunity.

For my side, I do appreciate it - even if I'm part of the offending party on this particular unfortunate issue.
I certainly found a way for me to excuse it in the moment, but it's not a good excuse and I want to get back on masking regularly.

New people to our studio always seem to have a bit of whiplash about how nice and genuine people are here.
We've all been done so dirty.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

It's fine. I'm fine.

I just gotta release some of the sadness pressure building up occasionally.
Leaving it bottled up is hazardous so I think it's good to let a little out about before it gets there.

Still sucks though.

Alex M @alex.debonairbreakfastbear.com · 15h

Feeling pretty sad and lonely again.
I had like a month and a half where I was too busy to think about it, but now that I have some room to breath I'm feeling pretty bummed out again.

I have stuff going on, but it's all a lot of hard work.
I'd like something to be easy and nice for once.

A wee message from us 👇

A Message to the Police (British) State

News of a Crown Prosecution Service Appeal against the ruling of their own judge is unsurprising.

He ruled the charge was ‘unlawful and null’ and it was.

It is unsurprising because this whole process has not been driven by the police or the courts, it has been driven by politicans backed up by British media. This is political policing.

There is no ‘important point of law’. The CPS have submitted nothing new in their appeal. What there is though, is a state wide witch-hunt against Palestinian solidarity.

The media were gleefully informed about this appeal before we were.

😠

A Message to the Police (British) State

Once again this is a massive waste of taxpayers money, of police time, of court time.

Once again there are endless news reports about Mo Chara, about Kneecap but we are NOT the story.

Yesterday 104 Palestinians were murdered in Gaza and hundreds more maimed as Israel commits genocide.

Entire families wiped out, people bombed to pieces as they slept, young kids with limbs blown off and no medicaine to treat them.

This is aided and supported by the British State.

We will fight you in your court again. We will win again.

Alex M @alex.debonairbreakfastbear.com · 1d

I'll give that a read and do a bit of investigation!

Though I will probably immediately give up as soon as I encounter something I don't understand.

As much as I hate Microsoft and what they've done with Windows, I can't see myself switching to Linux until someone who doesn't know a lick of programming says it's good to go.
And even then I'm gonna need some evidence.

One day I hope to have a tattoo I regret.

Maybe I already have - but I doubt it.

Looking through binoculars around Moo Moo Meadows in Mario Kart World has a small chance of activating a "cute jumpscare" Easter egg whereby a group of Para-Biddybuds will suddenly look into the binoculars from the other side.

kinda crazy how every single “just give people enough money to afford some basic stuff” experiments yield the exact same positive results that everyone benefits from every time, huh

Anyway, back to toiling

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
