I'm here because I've got one of those cinema memberships and I've got to justify it with another viewing of Coyote Vs Acme. 😂

Genuinely, I'm overjoyed. It's one of the best mobile games and one of the juiciest (both literally and in the Dr Kieran Hicks game design sense) games I've ever played.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.

I will note that Liverpool have won the league both times while I've been studying at University. This time for an MSC. Should I try for a PHD? 😂Up the Reds! #liverpool

Finally got over my "this isn't my bag" and finished Doom Eternal's Campaign. A good game with some marmite design choices. When it's good (when it flows) it's really good but at points both in gameplay and tooltips, it just stops the player and that is maddening.

After watching MOTD 2 today, never let anyone tell you that playing EA Sports FC on Amateur is an unrealistic depiction of Football.

So my uni (I'm a MA student) regularly talks to the games industry to inform its courses. AI is a BIG sticking point as the industry is SPLIT. Some want students to learn it as they've worked in AI into their workflows, others absolutely despise AI. (That's the side I'm firmly on)
