Scrungaloids is coming out in 12 days, and the STLs will come with a version 1 of the skirmish game of the same name Lexie and I wrote this year. I'm incredibly proud of it mechanically and I want to talk about why.

Do you notice how, the higher the evidence stacks up that our ruling class is basically just a gaggle of coercive arse-grabbers covering up for each other, the more extreme their terror of foreign sex criminals and transgenders lurking in toilet cubicles grows

On David Walliams: The Daily Mail reveals that “showbusiness reporters at The Sun were told to drop negative stories about Walliams because both that newspaper and HarperCollins are owned by Rupert Murdoch's NewsUK, even sharing offices near London Bridge.”

a new ttrpg kickstarter has hit your feed. it's the new cozy ghiblicore 5e hack made by the racism brothers and the promotional material is their devlog (podcast) where they complain about when enemy combatants are whole people with interior lives. 75 dollar embossed hardcover
The team behind Obojima not only don’t care about Ghibli outside of the aesthetic, they also fully do not understand it. They’re either complete buffoons or actively bad people and the truth likely lies in the middle.

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

‘Buddo’ - a rare representation of a human figure from the British Neolithic, dating to around 2900-2400 BC. Discovered at Skara Brae in the mid-C19th, it was re-discovered amongst the archaeological collections at Stromness Museum in 2016. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday #Archaeology

I knew Japanese fans talked about Western animation like we talk about anime, but holy fuck catching it in the wild is so funny
[screenshot of a translated excerpt from the quoted post in japanese:
Unlike other American animated sitcoms like "The Simpsons" or "Family Guy," "King of the Hill" is very down-to-earth and maintains a sense of realism in its stories and world-building.
"King of the Hill" faithfully depicts life and culture in Texas based on meticulous research, so for anyone wanting to learn more about Texas, this series is likely to be a highly immersive work.]
