Found this today, my registration card for Ambrosia Software’s #EscapeVelocity SF game. I spent a lot of time playing that on my old Macs, wish it was still a thing. #macOS #games

The image is a composite of a man’s face, a city tower and in the background a group of troublemakers, the games’ protagonists. A spot UV of the abstract layout of the city lies over the top, looking like a target. The title “A|STATE” and “SECOND EDITION” are in white at a slight angle.

A pile of #TheLaundry #ttrpg arrived today so I can continue to explore @cstross’s #thelaundryfiles despite the series finishing with the latest book.
Four books from The Laundry Roleplaying game on a desk. From left to right, top to bottom there is ‘The Operative’s Handbook’, ‘Introduction to Applied Occult Computing’, then ‘Supervisor’s Guide’ and ‘Black Bag Jobs Reopened’. The book on the bottom left has an injured woman on crutches awkwardly receiving an employee of the month certificate from a middle aged man in front of a cityscape in green, while the one on the bottom right has a person in a forensics suit taking photos in front of a blue backdrop with an oil rig.

Facebook post by Hilary Kincaid

Steve Dee 

This is Hilary, Steve's partner. I found Steve deceased on 2nd January 2026. I am writing this on behalf of the family. We do not know yet what happened, but it seems he did not suffer. His body is now in the care of the coroners' office and there will be an investigation. There will be a service of some kind, details to follow. 

For now, please read this post he made on his Patreon on 31 December 2025: https://www.patreon.com/posts/just-do-146987895?fbclid=IwY2xjawPH6G1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAwzNTA2ODU1MzE3MjgAAR6PXBOyfOExOQby8ObX0XAYbWOVDKbLFAN8qean_ea1dVwA052A4O5YZif2ew_aem_zQanPx7wCrWp9DizX4eaCA: . My darling love is gone. Please pat a dog for him, and please do what he would do and always try.

I will post more information if and when I can.

@BigJackBrass Interesting article, although the journalist’s grasp of Antarctic exploration is sketchy. Didn’t Amundsen technically “discover the South Pole”?
Screen shot of BBC web article with a B&W photo of a Christmas party and the following text:  “Dennis Bell is on the far right of the picture, celebrating Christmas in Antarctica in 1958 - seven months before he died. 
Dennis Bell, nicked-named "Tink", was born in
1934. He worked with the RAF and trained as a meteorologist, before joining the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey to work in Antarctica.

"He was obsessed with Scott's diaries," David says, referring to [section highlighted in yellow starts] Captain Robert Scott who discovered the South Pole [section highlighted in yellow ends] and died on an expedition in 1912.
Dennis went to Antarctica in 1958. He was stationed for a two-year assignment at
Admiralty Bay, a small UK base with about 12 men on King George Island, which is roughly 120 kilometres (75 miles) off the northern…”
