I’ve been back on the Dr Solar the past week with feeling like crap. Probably due some Magnus next anyway, eh. Bit of a treat for being so well behaved.

Thinking on, Magnus would be having none of that OpenAI bollocks. He’d kick the data centres to death.

Magnus covers are the best comic covers.

Yeah alright, AI might be the right tool for you, tiny dreamer.

My point being: the last 10% are the hard part. The last 10% were always the hard part. If someone sells you a miracle machine that doesn't solve the last 10%, the miracle machine is a gallon of snake oil

and then a flump bingo ent oven ding rice pudding. Reader, I shat.

Even still, the deck was toppling high. Hold Person grants auto-crits to melee attacks and requires a Wisdom saving throw, and Wic has a whopping zero for an ability modifier. What's more, the person casting it clung tight onto concentration, and was vanishing into the crowd. And god, was it close. On his final death save, a bardic inspiration that was a mere one short on the die spelled the end for Wicander Halovar

It’s lucky I know so many lovely people in videogames because this stuff could wear a man down.

Also it's worth noting that angling in the UK (ie fishing recreationally) accounts for around £1.4bn a year, which seems a much more sensible comparison, when discussing the economic significance of a hobby

I always see this cute little factoid going round and having checked the numbers... it's just not true? Games Workshop's revenue last year was £660m while the UK fishing fleet's was £1.15bn

Obviously, I prefer to admit that I can just about make one (1) whole post without falling asleep most days, much less a videogame. Not plagiarizing my way out of this one.

Personally, if I were a professional game developer in the year of our Molyneux 2026 I would not admit that I can’t even manage to reach the bare bones of weekend hobbyist projects without needing a machine to steal work for me to make it. I would rather die.

You could, quite literally, use an existing homebrew Dizzy engine and assets from 1987 and nobody would care. It would do the job! It would look good! Cripes, an old mate used to knock Dizzy games out in MMF to relax with in the early two thousands. Ask him.

The Bishop Of Hobb-ins @fishwithlasers.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

…and it would still look easier on the eye than a whole portion of multi-million selling videogames from the past couple of years, cost less time and money to make than most games even at its most elaborate. Egg Dads aren’t getting a pass on this one.

This is just such an embarrassing thing to say. Who would you be competing with? When Romero does a Quake level, is he competing with whoever is making cutting edge tech in 2026? No. That would be an unhinged thing to even contemplate. It’s for the twenty seven people who want Romero Quake.

You absolutely do not, do the fuck not, not even fucking slightly, need either a team of artists and coders - or an AI - to bring a new Dizzy game into the world. Get out with that. www.timeextension.com/features/if-...

Nobody under 40 gives a fuck. It doesn't even have a value melted down like silver and gold. Your computer and games collections will be WORTHLESS by the time you die.

I appreciate a lot of you shared that article the other day in good faith while processing complex feelings (probably not the right time to be posting fwiw) but, if you did, you're probably someone who should watch this too. youtu.be/qW9CbnoXjFQ?...
