How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Totally agree. Very much loved it, dealing with age, loss and Keanu as depressed middle aged game dev.

oh wow. this finally happened to me. a piece I wrote lifted wholesale by the Daily Mail, lightly rewritten and without any links back to my original piece of writing.

most amazingly, a weird use of the word 'pacing' suggests to me that they did it with ChatGPT.

All the Size Five games are on sale! So yeah, if at least 349 of you could buy Lair Of The Clockwork God at a wildly reasonable 65% off and give it a positive review, that'd be *lovely*.
And while you're there, may as well buy all the others for a few quid more!

One nice thing about EMD coming out is that I'll be able to stop nagging people to give LOTCG a Steam review!
That said: give LOTCG a Steam review! COME ON, we only need a paltry 349 more to hit the big 1K, let's get that done before EMD comes out!

Do I know anybody here in London? Could you do me a massive favour and go pick up a parcel for me in wood green? If it's not picked up it'll be destroyed and I have no way of getting down there 😮‍💨

Not an expert! But the SN appears to be the area that manages switching between the CEN (external) and DMN (introspection). Highly recommend reading the paper for more.
