Gavin Inglis @gavininglis.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I watched the first episode astonished at the amount of money thrown at it, and how meaningless the contestant sofa chat was. Same reaction to the Wonka voice. One episode was more than enough. 100

Gavin Inglis @gavininglis.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Perhaps part of the problem is that designing a system and explaining a system to newbies are different skills. Obviously as a teacher you understand how to explain things incrementally -- but maybe as a designer you are too familiar with the system to really see it through a newbie's eyes? 020

Gavin Inglis @gavininglis.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I feel certain somebody on Bluesky will want to see this picture of an otter playing the piano. 1121

Gavin Inglis @gavininglis.bsky.social · 03/08/2026We had an electricity guy round once who claimed to be a "regional manager" who could take us off "foreign tariffs". He just wanted us to switch suppliers. He used his finger to cover up the company logo on his ID. 110

Gavin Inglis @gavininglis.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I see somebody at Chaosium has pressed the wrong button and accidentally made a huge stack of brilliant RPG books available for peanuts -- including my ENNIE-winner The Domestic. 041
Gavin Inglis @gavininglis.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Salisbury Crags wildfire still going at 1am. Can smell smoke indoors half a mile away. Flakes of white ash falling in the street like a hint of snow. 0105

Talking Foxes are part of the magical landscape, with their own secretive ways. But The Folly, the special magic division of the London Metropolitan Police, know they love to trade info for dog treats and scraps. 1499

Gavin Inglis @gavininglis.bsky.social · 06/07/2026I like to think if I am ever suspected of anything, my search history will be baffling. Five most recent: "kraken bonk"; "egg him on etymology"; "the parting glass chords"; "define foetid"; "paganini". 040

Gavin Inglis @gavininglis.bsky.social · 04/07/2026I've been playing chess online for about a year, and maybe I shouldn't have been surprised, but wow, there are lots of bad losers out there. Once you find your level, you lose about half of your games. Get over it? 020
