I haven't! But I'm intrigued. I closed the wiki page before I learned too much about the plot.

I'm making a joke conspiracy theory website for a thing and honestly I can see why so many idiots end up doing this grift. The copy is so easy to write when you're making fun of it.

I've never played a roguelike/lite where the randomness impedes the narrative but I feel like they definitely could've allowed for some progression to help with that, like Hades' keepsakes.

Tommy Palmer @tommyp.bsky.social · 4d

Same! After a few runs I was so proud to get to room 45 and then I dropped off very quickly after getting so many bad runs and got nowhere near.

I haven't played it in months but might have to give it another go soon. Maybe even completely restart it.

If this intends to make it legally compulsory for every adult in Derry to carry something called a "Brit Card", then I'm willing to offer some high-paid consultancy on why this plan might be flawed.

We can bring back a classic 90s slaggin with: "You dropped your Brit Card!"

I was straight on this! Your work is always superb so I'm very excited to be able to learn how to add whimsey to my projects.

The Ruby community has a DHH problem

The Ruby community can no longer afford to stand silent in the face of DHH and his toxic ideas.

`true`?

At GOV.UK we always had a joke that it should be 1 form with an input for your national insurance number and a submit button that read "Sort everything out".

I suppose this is still 1 form.

rev. howard arson @theophite.bsky.social · 22d

i have written a single form which governs every interaction a person might have with the government by concatenating every form the government produces into a PDF 1.3 petabytes in size

Having just went through the process at a few places it seemed that most said use all the AI you want, or don't use any at all.

London has been a melting pot since about 1800. What made London great is it is an international city. The mix of people from everywhere means this city let's you experience the world's culture without leaving TFL's reach.

Do these people think Londoners should only eat pies and drink tea?

Tommy Palmer @tommyp.bsky.social · 22d

The view that London is for the White English is fucking insane. Londoners drink in Irish pubs, the most popular foods are Turkish + Indian, the UK's biggest music exports are Garage and Jungle. The most popular tourist hotspots include Chinatown and Brick Lane.

Been offline for a few days in Italy and come back to weirdo racists ransacking London and some big framework melter sticking his nose in.

If you need to start your week with some high BPM energy, here's my DJ set from a friend's birthday on Saturday soundcloud.com/syntax-terro...

It's important to remember the inevitable march towards death that we all experience as meat covered skeletons.

Aw I didn't know they closed! A bottle of Belfast Blonde in The Garrick was a favourite of mine when I was back home.
