And on the flip side, I’d also point out that if a product isn’t broken and is working as intended, but an operator is misusing it, we have laws, rules and regulations for that, too.

The spirals. They are *nearly* in a line but not quite. I’d have to spin and flip everything until they either line up perfectly, or were pleasantly further broken up. 😂

Fuck sake I’m trapped living in a nonsense society run by children and fools. When a product has a dangerous defect or is broken, it is recalled. Stop giving AI companies special dispensation just because they’ve slapped a couple of googly eyes on some software and you’re gullible as fuck.

So far in the #CelebrityTraitors, James Blunt has come dressed as a lemon, Tron, and my flamboyant gran. I'm starting to love the man.

To understand the hobby? I'd flip a coin to pick either D&D or Pathfinder, then get them to play two completely random other games.

Lol. Had a glance at that Amazon data thing. I once bought a water jug so it now apparently thinks I "maintain water filtration systems." The future is just so fucking tedious.

Liz Truss and Kemi Badenoch's quotes are so fucking unhinged I genuinely can't differentiate between the two. Sandwiches aren't real food, imported cheese is a disgrace. If I played the "Was it Truss or Badenoch?" drinking game I'd have liver failure by 9pm.

Environmental Fatigue Syndrome was first diagnosed in 2055. It's a condition resulting in cascading organ failure from sustained exposure to atmospheric pollutants, microplastic contamination, and environmental toxicity. The only treatment for EFS is cybernetic organ replacement.

Kemi Badenoch saying people earning a million pounds a year shouldn't be punished for working hard, and in all my years on this earth I don't think I've ever been so naïve as to think people getting that much money are working hard.

“How did you get into TTRPGs?” Moved about all over the country when I was a kid so I used games to make friends. Like rattling a box of treats at the back door to attract your cat. Can’t remember how I first came into contact with them tho. Probably the Fighting Fantasy pipeline.

This ended up looking a bit like that Fantasy Europe framework-y thing that got shoved in the back of 3rd edition RuneQuest. It was fun. Will probably carry on this weekend.

This. And also, whilst solo gaming has definitely had a surge in popularity recently, it's not a new thing. I've been doing it since I bought Advanced HeroQuest and was blown away by the solo rules. That was 1990.

I remember the naive hope that an impact with the stark reality of Leaving would force many Brexiteers to see reason. It's obviously caused some of them to go even deeper into weird, dreamlike fantasies about sovereignty.

Big traffic jam caused by a car stopped in the middle of the road with the driver slumped forward. I’m not sure what was worse; that I was the only person who went to help, or the fact that she wasn’t having a medical emergency, just texting on her phone. What the fuck is wrong with people?

That’s because the decision has already been made. The issue being debated is merely the post-hoc justification. Where decisions happen and where debate happens are different places. The idea that debate leads to policy outcomes is a fiction designed to create an impression of democratic consent.

Lol I think he’s sad it’s over. He’s a bit of a weird one. Loves trips to the vet, storms, and baths. At least once a week he’ll barge into the bathroom and sit in the empty tub to demand a wash. 😂

If you add "at my table" to the end of every TTRPG opinion you hear or read, suddenly the hobby has nobody proclaiming their opinion as universal truth, and all is well. 👍

Realised I hardly ever use my phone or tablet to consume media anymore. There are just too many fucking ads. Ads at the start. Ads at the end. Ads every 90 seconds. Ads in the middle of sentences. Ads in the middle of other ads. I have to use a desktop or laptop packed full of adblockers.

Every time some new horrible thing emerges, my partner and I play the Which Dystopia? game where we decide if it’s forced upon us (1984) or if we’re imposing it upon ourselves (BNW). Depressing fun for all the family.

I always think about the damage a constant drip drip drip of rage did when it was confined to a few shitty newspapers peddling outrage headlines. I can only imagine the impact now that it has been replicated on the scale of social media.

The Roll Came From Inside The House @icosacade.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
I often think we underestimate the brute force influence that nearly two decades of rage bait and click culture has done to the fabric of society. Normalising outrage, increasing intolerance, or just emboldening the hatred.
