checking in after a long walk with the other dogs in our training cohort (more comfortable sleeping arrangements are available but this patch of floor had the benefit of being beside my feet)

Yes, me too! Which makes me think I should check Remote Desktop is enabled on my mac…

Yeah, it’s streaming games to (potentially) a non-gaming device, like a phone, tablet, or not-a-gaming PC/laptop. Game runs remotely on cloud hardware. I looked into it a few years back, found the price/hrs available was dire, and saved up to buy a PS5 instead.

Been playing #Cyberpunk2077 again. I don’t know if @cdprojektred.com or Pondsmith have ever expressed an opinion but it really feels like female V, corpo, netrunner should be the “canonical” protagonist

Keep telling myself I’m not going to get into the endgame daily/weekly loop of ilvl chasing, rep grinding and lockout (“doing your wizard chores”) but we all know that’s a lie

Hit the level cap in @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com and I’m only about half-way done with the Midnight storyline quest, I think. Been knocking out all the side quests as I go. Horribly addictive, really enjoying this one a lot.

rumorsmatrix @rumorsmatrix.com · 07/08/2026

where are you up to, understanding-the-story wise? I just started in on Midnight having played the new “Recap” quest line that kind of turbos you through The Wat Within, which kind of passed me by

001

rumorsmatrix @rumorsmatrix.com · 06/08/2026

My sponsor wasn’t around so I ended up resubscribed to @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com. Bought Midnight and ran through all of TWW using the new Recap quest line, which worked really well and was a great evening, actually.

I've started doing the crosswords and a delightful little word puzzle called "Ribbit" over on puzzmo.com

sometimes I just fancy playing a little game on my phone on the sofa but mobile games are all such unrelenting shit. Might have to just install a GBA / NDS / PS1 emulator that can handle save states and play a real game.

…With a failed Setback, all that matters is that you can’t mark progress yet; you can just mark impact, increase a tension clock, introduce a bigger peril, and re-try your Take Action against the new circumstances.

rumorsmatrix @rumorsmatrix.com · 28/07/2026

It also neatly tidies up the problem with the old “Battle” move, which was — what happens if you Miss on the roll? Either you fought to the death, game over, or you’re forced to invent some convoluted reason why you were captured or escaped…

rumorsmatrix @rumorsmatrix.com · 28/07/2026

This is great if you like a bit of fast-moving hack-and-slash where simple combats are resolved quickly, and you can save the Combat codex and multiple-move combats with their own progress track for more significant enemies.

Played some more of @shawntomkin.bsky.social’s #Ironsworn Legacies alpha test last night. Realised I can spend a misfortune to introduce combat with mook (“Create a Setback”) and resolve it in a single Take Action → Overcome a Setback roll, very much like the old “Battle” move. 1/?

Took the pup to a dog-friendly beach today for the first time, it was a hit 🌊 splashing in the shoreline: fun 🪏 not getting told off for digging in the sand, unlike in the garden: even more fun 🍖 cafe that sold doggy treat rabbit chunks: gourmet (photo credit @jackcurlew.bsky.social)

FYI my stance on AI is broadly: - code, science, math: yes, as long as it doesn’t replace a real human - art, music, literature: no thank you - prompting “draw me a superhero, big boobs please” does not make you an artist, it makes you a knob

work have paid for me to have a Cursor Pro account. If there is even the slightest chance that an LLM could be sentient or conscious I feel like making it work on our legacy code base could be a form of torture

It’s a bit tone deaf when there’s probably a army of jack booted ICE agents just out of shot who’d love to disappear half the performers

my PC had a rattling noise, so I took it apart and cleaned it, and now it's great again. Made me think; men, often we ignore warning signs from our bodies until too late. If you're worried about something, don't wait: remove your internal organs and blast them with compressed air

sorry but my group is still playing 1e and finds all these new editions a pointless complication of what made the game so great, we’re happy with keeping it old school (pre-weekend) /s

love stuff like this. The older I get the more I just want FKR style, super minimal, barely a game, games. Have a couple of d6 handy and try not to use them.

bought these cool looking hex pinboard tiles for my home office wall and now I’m paralysed by the age old holy war, should the tops be pointy or flat??

okay #ttrpg players and #grogsquad folks, I need a recommendation of a Viking or dark ages England themed campaign setting, any system, I’m mining for ideas. Was looking at Cthulhu Dark Ages, perhaps. Bonus points if it’s in physical print and/or on Shop On The Borderlands.
