We're hiring! We're looking for a Writer and Narrative Designer to join the Fallen London team at a senior or mid level. This position is permanent, remote, and full time, which for us means 35 hours a week. #GamesJobs
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.

I wish when games are trying to teach me something, that everything they're not trying to teach me did literally nothing. I'm fighting this boss in CrossCode, and I think I know what it wants me to do, but I still need to do it 15 times in a row to kill the boss. Or, I can just chip it to death.

Obviously, Eric Schmitt is now disgraced and should never be taken seriously, and should forever be known as "Hawkeye" Schmitt. Absolute clown chicken. The epitome of the supremely confident but wrong white middle-aged politician. Now. Can we think of anybody else who deserves similar scorn, media?

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Lots of people complaining they can't read the paper because they're just rummaging around in the GitHub repo and opening the raw HTML. Folks - it's a repo. You have to "download" it. Are people just way too Web 3.0-pilled these days? Feeling like Principal Skinner here...

VR people, is there not a "airbrush/paint my models in VR" program or Blender addon? I could have sworn I saw that before, but a casual look around is finding nothing (I don't mean sculpting, though that's neat, I specifically mean a VR flow for model texturing/painting work)

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

I need people to understand that the Star Spangled Banner was written to celebrate a war that the US president and one party started, and where they got their asses thoroughly kicked. The "celebration" was that the other side got bored and went home instead of finishing the job. Pick another song!

I keep thinking I should have a rule/SOP where every time I play a game, I post about it, especially if it's not a well-known game. If I think it's good enough to sped a few hours of my time on it, then that probably means other people would enjoy it too? But you'd probably all mute the spam :-)
