Is there an overview of the solo-RPG field somewhere, with key systems, mechanics and titles, or would a kind, knowledgeable friend spend a few minutes on a call to brief me? (This is not an excuse for you to recommend your favourite solo game. That is pretty much the opposite of what I'm asking.)

It’s been a while since I had a proper Brexit rant. Then GB News’s US Political Editor declared Britain “is not a European country”, completely rewriting reality, and my restraint promptly left the fucking building. How many excuses do Brexit’s champions get before they answer for the mess?

I'm kinda fully over that "the British conquered the world for spices and don't use any of them" joke because for one, you cannot recycle material for 5 straight generations and get a laugh worth a damn but also because in order to make it you have to agree with Tommy Robinson about who is British

I hate when people say "you'll get through this."

I've been getting through things my entire life. I'm tired of just getting through things. I want to feel light. I want to feel safe in my own life. I want to stop carrying things I never chose to carry.

I want to exist without constantly feeling like something bad is about to happen.

Astonishing really how ADHD-denialism so closely matches early trans-denialism (say, a decade ago, before it went mask-off eliminationist), to the point that it includes the exact same personalities, again vomiting their know-nothing opinions all over the place.

If you see an increase in cancer diagnosis you don’t impose a wait limit on time it takes people to get assessed. You employ more cancer specialists. People are going after a disability because it’s an easy target. This is state sanctioned suffering, abuse and neglect.

Good. Now arrest those who were with him for conspiracy, and then arrest those who tried to set fire to a hotel for arson. And then proscribe the group as a terrorist organisation. Which is what you are if you use violence for political ends. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

vintage-style matchbook cover against a black background scattered with white starbursts. On the left, a cartoon pink elephant wearing a top hat holds up a cocktail glass filled with a pink drink.

To the right of the elephant, bold white and pink text reads: "I'M FINE EVERYTHING IS OKAY BUT PLEASE DON'T ASK ANY FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS". The bottom flap of the matchbook features a dark striking strip and fine print along the lower edge.
