You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

It's my birthday today and of course I woke up to the gloomy British weather. 🌧️ Would be great if folks would tell me what they like about my work or buy my games (which are 33% off on itchio). 🙏

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 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.

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...

I see so much of this everywhere, dickheads with zero spatial awareness who apparently expect others to blink out and respawn behind them. See also lifts, shop doorways, pavements... Especially pavements, like perhaps the guy walking slowly with a walking stick might not be the most nimble one here.
