As a little bonus, here's some of my fave entries in the painting competition - there was some amazing talent on display. I couldn't fill my camera roll with them, even though I wanted to 😅 #Miniatures #MiniPainting

We may have also spent a few pennies on some books 😅 In our defence, there's a lot of great RPGs out there, especially in the indie scene! Sadly far too many to tag, but shout out in the comments if you see yours or one you've enjoyed! #UKGE26 #UKGamesExpo #TTRPG #IndieGames #RoleplayingGames

And it was fab to meet @itsquinns.bsky.social from Quinns Quest and People Make Games fame, as we're both fans of his work. He gave us a sneaky heads-up about a map video that was incoming (head over to the PMG YouTube channel, it's worth a watch!), and was just a friendly guy!

Finally posting some photos from @ukge.bsky.social a few months back! It was the first time we've gone, and there was a LOT to see. We did a couple of panels that were really interesting, though we didn't play any games. I really enjoyed the look back over the years in the museum, that was great!

Just when I think I can’t hate OpenAI and Sam Altman any more, new details come out about how ChatGPT helped a shooter plan one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history in Tumbler Ridge, BC. OpenAI made an explicit decision not to report the user to authorities.

Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

Good to know thank you! It's on the front page, where the subscribe option is on the right-hand side - it states the price (of a single issue), but underneath says "get 4 physical issues" without any qualifier, which was what confused me!

...y'know, maybe something small, like a book. Or two. Just a thought. Oh, and it'd be even better if one of them turns out to be half price!

Yesterday I was in @waterstones.bsky.social and I *didn't* take advantage of their buy 1 get 1 half price deal, DESPITE them having the newest edition of Enshittification by @doctorow.pluralistic.net AND the newest @hallierubenhold.bsky.social on Dr Crippen. I reckon I deserve a reward! [1/2]

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

Just to clarify, is that £18 per issue, or for the year? There's a couple of locations on the website that give the opposite impressions!

That GTA VI reveal is the end result of just so much hard work and graft from so many, many people. Worth remembering that graft and those people as we enter September and see the union recognition discussions come to a head in the UK and of course, the employment tribunal finally gets underway 🌱

You cannot design away bad players in a tabletop rpg. You cannot build enough guard rails to stop bad faith play. The only rule that helps is, "Play With Better People." Because those guard rails suck for every good faith player that has to bump into them, design for the people who WANT to PLAY.

Oh mate I'm so sorry. Sounds like she was blessed with a long happy life and two humans who loved her very much, though it doesn't make it easier for you right now. Hugs 🫂

I've basically been bookmarking the pages of all these things from your newsletter until I'm in a position to afford them 😂

Read this over on Threads earlier, and crumbled to dust.

In Star Trek people often complain that replicated food is not as good as naturally produced food, which is weird when replicators are presumably using the same technology as transporters, which can perfectly replicate Spock every time. But is Spock getting less flavoursome over time? In this essay,

I'm not sure Lucy M. Boston's Green Knowe series would quite work. Diana Wynne Jones' Chrestomanci however... 😏 Oh, or Goosebumps!! Though episodic horror is already being done in TTRPGs, there's always room for another.
