Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.
Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

Been working on my UI, now got a basic options screen together. Progress! #gamedev #godotengine #indiedev #screenshotsunday
In-game Options panel in The Roc's Toll, open over a paused tactical battle. It has volume sliders for Master, Music and SFX and a Difficulty dropdown set to Story. The lounge battlefield and squad members stay visible behind it.Title screen for The Swords of Ukital: The Roc's Toll. A battered grey space station with a glowing green docking bay ring drifts against a starfield, with Start, Settings and Chapter Select buttons below the yellow title.Mid-battle pause menu in The Roc's Toll, with Resume, Options, Journal and Quit to Menu buttons. Behind it, low-poly characters face off in a lounge with maroon sofas and tall panels. A tile outlined in blue marks a move, and the objectives panel reads "Defeat all enemies (2 left)" and "Keep an ally alive".Options menu from The Roc's Toll title screen, overlaid on the space station and starfield.

When you argue that fascists should be defeated through debate what you're actually suggesting is that vulnerable minorities should have to endlessly argue for their right to exist and that at no point should the debate be considered over and won.

It's really refreshing seeing shitey normal working class life depicted like this in a game, and a Silent Hill game no less. Pebble-dashed council flats, three-bar fires, Post Office counters, concrete shopping precincts. This must be how posh people felt playing Everybody's Gone to the Rapture.

A cast iron drain pipe going down the side of a white-painted house.  A crest of red feathers and a bright orange beak made from something solid have been attached around it.  It looks remarkably like "Feathers McGraw", the evil criminal penguin from The Wrong Trousers.

St Mary’s Church ruins sit west of Tintern Abbey on Chapel Hill. Once serving Tintern’s lay tenants, the church became redundant in 1972 and was ravaged by fire in 1977. Now, whispers of witches and ghosts linger among the ruins, a testament to just how evocative the site is. #history #Ruins
