Lovely autumn you got there, Rachel!

Eww, I almost stepped into AI today. The new Nemesis boardgame on Gamefound, already racking up € millions, is chock full of it. Awaken Realms, the devs, are happy to admit it and eager to justify it. I was close to backing this. Gotta go wash my hands now. 🤢🫩

There's absolutely no wrong with complementing one with the other. 😊😊

Ohhh, some lovely woodlands you got there!

Heeey, hunted down some aurora borealis tonight in my home village!

Oh wow, Coyote Vs ACME is absolutely delightful and it's not just my anti-capitalism and my nostalgia talking (I think). I sort of expected to want to like it - but instead I'm genuinely loving every minute of it so far. <3

If I remember correctly, we meet it first in the Colour of Magic. Oh man, I'm jealous!! To be able to ready all those (there are dozens) books for the first time is such a precious thing.

OMG, they're making a sequel to Machinarium! <3

You are definitely part of the Whalesong, Rachel. 🐬🐬

The Luggage from Discworld comes to mind. :D But you're gonna need more legs.

Ha, well, that's a serious downside, but still, that's some very exciting stuff in there! I'm looking forward to the Kickstarter.

I'm gonna say 99% RPG. The GM consults the character sheets and rolls some dice, but the player or players are never to lose roleplaying immersion, unless it's time for tea or a dinner break.

I brought so much peace to the galaxy, I was forbidden from playing Plantas ever again. 😁 🌱

Nothing a little RPG at the table wouldn't fix! I remember once roleplaying Plantas when playing Eclipse and annoying every single other player with my merciful beneficent absolute hegemony over half the galaxy.

Do you get to be all snarky and chill about it as you do so? :) The art is of course awesome, but those miniatures look great too!

Oh wow, there's a Hellboy board game! Cool!

Overwhelmingly countless shapeshifting ideas and an itch to try them all out, but which one first, can't decide. 👁️

Happy do-nothing-Sunday to those who celebrate video by www.instagram.com/maxwelhohn/

If only there was a vaccine keeping those at bay. 😣

😔😔😔 Can't find the right words for this. Nothing fits. I'm so sorry, Rachel. The stupid optimist in me wants to think each such horror, when made loud enough, forces (some) men to learn. That eventually things will get better. But 4 billion women live in the here and now, not in the future. 😔

Pawel Daruk @paweldaruk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

It makes one slightly optimistic!

Uhhh, we need a mike closer to that munching!

I once gained like 5 kg during a trip to Japan (all those delicacies there!). Bears would be appalled by such amateurish fattening.

"He's a coming to feed me!" :D Apex predators and scavenger birds are the only example where trickle down economics work. :D

Pawel Daruk @paweldaruk.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Oh yeah. I tend to play video games for creative (writing, ttrpg) inspiration, but uhhh they do eat up a lllot of time.

Pawel Daruk @paweldaruk.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Ooh, so there's a deadline and a need for secrecy. I hope you enjoy the creative process as much as the recipient will enjoy the snugness.

Pawel Daruk @paweldaruk.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Ohhh, awesome!! And what's the project for your needles this time, Rachel?

Pawel Daruk @paweldaruk.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

*breathing hard* An entire nearly 2 hour long concert featuring some of the best music to ever grace the world of video gaming!!

Pawel Daruk @paweldaruk.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

So here's what I feel is true music. Dozens of humans united in seamless collaboration, pouring excellence and passion into a sublime work of art. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3Vb...

Music is definitely one of our species' greatest achievements, but I sometimes stumble upon a hit from the not-so-distant past and all I can do is vomit in my mouth. "Girl, you'll be a woman soon" "Soon, you'll need a man" Pardon the rant, but what an absolute pedo incel heteronorm grooming thing.

My Bsky feed now has bird feed and squirrel feed in it and I approve.
