Something I've not seen discussed is what effect, if any, all of the news about Man City as a club will have on the women's team(s).

I'm overall pretty meh on the Ocarina remake, but I do think playing a real ocarina into the mic to control the game is super cool. I love verisimilitude in games like that. In the Kinect days I wanted an RPG where I could actually read the dialogue choices into a mic. Does any such game exist?

Long shot: Do I know anyone on here who's good with audio design / audio editing? I would like to hire someone for a tiny project -- a one-minute loop of spooky ambient sounds, like using stock audio -- but it's gotta happen today, as the deadline is tonight. I had someone but they totally flaked.

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

You just get the sense that those at the top of the BBC don't have a fucking clue what things people value about them, and even less of a clue about how to retain their current audience, let alone reach new ones.

As exciting as a lucky dice roll can be in a story-heavy game, they often feel like a vestigial holdover from TTRPGs, where the abstraction of dice for social/story checks is necessary to keep events flowing forward. There also isn't savescumming in TTRPGs. Players have to adapt to a bad roll...

This notion of bigoted beliefs being a protected characteristic like gender or race is just absolutely barmy. Those of us who’ve experienced genuine discrimination for who we are know there’s no comparison, and the political and legal collusion on this stuff is disastrous.
