About 25 repairs and a dozen people stopped in over the course of the inaugural Repair Cafe Pittsburgh event. Subsequent events are planned at Construction Junction in Point Breeze the first Saturday of each month.

It's closing because the UK has introduced a law that makes it impossible for a lot of digital community spaces to remain operational any more. So it's just shutting down. The law has kind of gone underdiscussed, I feel like, it's having quite a wide impact.

Urban Dead is closing next week, forever. It's not the kind of game that wins awards or is immortalised by industry bodies or community grandees.
But it remains one of the most innovative, anarchic games I’ve played, so I’m remembering it here.
