I once asked a priest to bless a printer that I was in the middle of fighting with and he went "I only bless things when there's a chance it'll take" and then turned and walked out of the room.

I know there are a few Scotland based TTPRG folk on here like myself. I've been pretty excited to be working alongside @criticalchance.bsky.social and some others in organising this two day TTRPG event in Glasgow this summer. So if you're in Scotland and are interested in Tabletop RPGs check it out!

Well worth a watch. The first hour is a look at facts of solar power and its feasibility as a main power source. The last part is a passionate yet rational reminder that “politics eventually comes for everyone” youtu.be/KtQ9nt2ZeGM?...

21 backers away from beating my backer count on the Abbadon kickstarter! Hell yeah, 20 is the next milestone for backers at 150 and we're £713 from funding! So if you think you might vibe with a JRPG inspired TTRPG made by a tiny developer check it out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/los...

With TTS 2025 only a few days away I should mention I am taking part in "The Great Nessie Hunt". Each participating vendor has a Nessies hiding on their tables with answers to some Scottish trivia! People can grab a flyer, fill in the answers, and enter a prize giveaway.

I still hope that despite the hell that was develoment this is a fun game, I have major doubts it will will be any good but we always have hopes... but also putting the Toreador (and Lasombra) behind a nearly £20 Day One DLC irks me greatly

Sonokuni is "One for the Sickos". Hotline Miami meets Japanese Hip-Hop. It's fast frustrating fun. I laughed, I cried, I almost snapped a controller in half. And only one of those is a lie. youtu.be/fsSj4F4qK4s

So completed Avowed (PC Game Pass)... In short a solid enough AA game but with its fair share of issues (both in design, story, and characters) and an ok plot that served its purpose (if sometimes a bit too clumsly), and at 50 odd hours on hard for me was a decent length. A solid 7.5 out of 10

Since 2009 i have been tweaking a document i called the “Kimdedian Creed”, a slightly playful name for a text exploring my own personal beliefs and views. Over the years its evolved and changed but today I posted a big edit, not so much in its core values, but how i tried to express them.

100%, not much comes close (although I do have a soft spot for many a Max Richter, Jóhann Jóhannsson, and Has Zimmer soundtrack) But yeah the GitS OST is just so good… those first few bars of Chant 1 are just iconic.

It’s from a much larger piece by Jaron Lanier about the rising use of these agents (or I guess we’d now say “algorithms”). Not read it all but seems interesting… www.jaronlanier.com/agentalien.h...

Also interesting it mentions a quote about the early stages of “intelligent agents” which is so very relevant with the alleged rise of “AI agents” “An agent's model of what you are interested in will be a cartoon model, and you will see a cartoon version of the world through the agent's eyes.”

Excerpt of "The Second Coming" by Yeats “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.“
