Samorost got a couple of sequels, might be thinking of that?

I played through original Machinarium last year for old times sake and it’s still an absolute indie classic. Excited to see what Amanita have planned!

Well, no, in fairness, I know the original browser one is called Old School RuneScape now, which suggests the presence of at least one modern version of RuneScape. But there’s another one? And I guess soon another another one??

I’m just now learning there are apparently two other RuneScape MMOs that aren’t the browser one.

I was thinking that it’s a shame we’ve only ever seen the FBC in a state of crisis, and a TV show could be a good way to show them pre lockdown doing FBC stuff out in the world, collecting OOPs and so forth.

The Weekly Planet is a great podcast for many reasons, but not least is Nick Mason’s constant skewering of the somewhat suspect themes in Tom King’s writing.

Sometimes I think about the guy I saw in some forum who said, when Duke Nukem Forever finally released and was receiving a critical drubbing, predicted it would become a cult classic fan favourite in time.

A hero's final rest. #lego #bionicle
A colourful drawing of line art and watercolour of bionicle Toa Tahu. The Red Orange one. Resting against a tree in the woods. At his feet are the 5 masks of all the other original bionicles heroes. A Spot of sunshine comes through the trees. Wide enough to form a circle in the shape of Tahu and ailluminate him in the otherwise dark forest. Toa is covvered in rust and dust. Leafs spout from his shoulders and mask. His plating looks old and battered. One may wonder how long he has been here.

Really wonderful moment in a training session the other day when a facilitator asked how many people in the room use AI on a day to day basis, and when only one person raised their hand, was completely derailed from the point they clearly intended to make about the ubiquity of AI.

Weird commute in this morning, got all turned around.
A series of posters in a faux 1950s style from control resonant. They have iconography of the federal bureau of control, and read, from left to right: 
look up before crossing the road
Do not approach repeating pigeons
Keep away from the red
Do as you’re told don’t eat the mold
Buildings may relocate without notice

And Orga! My fav! What a design! Why didn’t he become a new kaiju icon?? (Because his fight isn’t great and the most memorable thing he does is try and vore Godzilla, probably)

Godzilla’s design in this is great. Brilliant dorsal fins, cool tail, head makes him look exactly like a cat which is a wonderful choice. Atomic breath isn’t my fav, but it gets the job done.

Eddie @eddiejay.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
Godzilla fighting a giant CGI monster who wants to replicate and then replace him is maybe a little on the nose for a movie released in response to the Emmerich film from the year before, but it’s still great!

This is actually a proud continuation of the RPG tradition of having a cosmic horror as a random boss character appearing out of nowhere with no context, then never being mentioned again.

It’s actually childish to hope for better things. It’s actually very mature to recognise that things have to be shit. It’s sensible grown-up politics, guys.

As a pragmatic centrist, I read the Niemöller poem differently. After each group mentioned I pencil in what percentage of the population they are, and if it’s a small number I cross off their names as disposable. Poetry is fine but math wins elections!!

It’s important to be honest on these things.
A screenshot of a survey which reads as follows:
Which ONE, if any, of the following statements BEST describes your current career path?
I have a dream job in mind and know what steps to take to get there
I have a dream job in mind but don't know how to get there
I have a career path in mind but I'm still considering other options
I'm upskilling to pursue my dream job
I already have a job and want to continue to grow within my current career
I already have a job but want to change careers
I don't have/ want to think about my career path
Other
(please specify)
I don't dream of labour
The only ticked box is Other

Honestly, I think a musou style game could really work. Enemies are easy to kill but you risk getting overwhelmed.

There’s a bit in a gameplay trailer where they highlight that Wolverine has a “kick to break enemy shields” and it’s like… what do you mean. He’s Wolverine.

It’s tough because you don’t wanna pin studios down and say “you only do these kind of games”, but when each game costs upwards of 100 mil? You’re pricing yourself out of experimentation.

Eddie @eddiejay.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
I don’t have much skin in the Wolverine game, but in hindsight, maybe Insomniac’s success in making Spider-Man games doesn’t automatically make them the ideal choice for a game based around a character different from Spider-Man in almost every way.
