I've recently learnt that my open-ended contract, linked to an ERC project running until December 2027, will end this December (2026). This was never explicitly told to me, and I'm rather disappointed, as I'm still finishing my PhD thesis. Any advice on grants I could apply for? Thanks!

I was made aware of a thread on the dndmemes subreddit (a place I never go) about Girl Frame, and after reading a few replies I'm reminded of the northernlion bit about how it's so fucking sad that many people's favorite media is the thing that "makes sense" and not what lights a fire in their heart

if Bethesda had made pillars of eternity all the lore would be the same, but the fact the gods are constructs would be in a book no one reads, you'd never meet an animancer, and Amaua and Orlans wouldn't be playable characters or visible NPCs (mentioned in books)

I’ve made an old-school-style map for a Torchbearer solo game. It is rather influenced by an odd Mediterranean scenery. More info in the alt text.

Mountain passes and sharp coastal lines have been sculpted by geological action, making what appears to be a lake in the south actually deeper than what appears to be a sea to the east. To the west is a vast desert, while to the northwest lies a fertile but remains uninhabited. However, there are communities along the eastern and southern shores, and parts of the area's historic roads are no longer in use.

The most prolific ttrpg labels. Our tastes may be subjective, and yet they are manufactured by objective conditions. I find uncomfortably convenient that those conditions benefit from both producing and consuming slop. Somehow, it seems we’ve praised dismantling the ability to imagine NEW games.

A dark tone picture of a sword stuck in the ground. Above, a text reads: "The current obsession with nostalgia and remake culture is eassy to understand when you realize that it's a symptom of a culture that isn't allowed to imagine a future."

Punch cards preserve the past and future

Knitting punch cards are an important part of any feminist computing history, and surprisingly resilient. They're interoperable across machines with the same repeat, can be stored as physical (but still fundamentally digital) copies without worrying about hard drives going bad or requiring ongoing power consumption, and are also, in the age of seemingly-endless proprietary software and terms and conditions, refreshingly punk, in a minimal computing, 232 open-source sort of way. How many people actually read the source code of the open-source software they use? Punch cards are the source, in something so fundamentally binary that fluency is not hard to come by. (Fluency in binary for almost all other tasks is nearly impossible.) I can repeat a row as many times as I wish. I can change whether my machine ignores the 1s, knits the 1s, purls the 1s, etc. I can perform subsequent operations on the punch card's outputs with manual manipulation. And I own it. I own my knitting machine, can take it apart and repair it without violating some terms of service, and can hack and modify it and my punch cards to my heart's content.

I’ve been reading about Seven-Part Pact and I’m intrigued. I often buy games just to read them, even if I may never play them, but the amount of material required feels daunting. Setting the hype aside, would you recommend it? Is there anything that a prospective buyer should be aware of? Thank you.
