Finally reading my copy of Hypermall: Unlimited Violence and @ratbastardgames.bsky.social have truly delivered something special.

A brief blurb describing the origins of "Midlands Cigarettes Bionic Vendor"

It was the big gala for ABC Heywire Tamar Valley tonight and I was extremely proud to see my kid as one of the winners. www.abc.net.au/heywire/prog...

Nice to see Myer selling the Liberal staffer starter kit.

What do you do when Churchill is being a git and as his final act shuts down a Second Front after you've spent the conference lining up everything for a *huge* D-Day? You give all that materiel to Stalin. Because at least they're killing Nazis. @gmtgames.bsky.social @markherman54.bsky.social

It is, without question, my favourite bit of local graffiti.

The concrete side of an office building with various tags and the words "GO ON ADRIAN, HAVE SOME ACID" sprayed.

Got told to read this by a relative. This is the start of the preface. I almost want to read the rest just out of grim curiousity.

Intro to "China Coup" where the author is explaining how China - by November 2022 will have overthrown the dictatorship of Xi Jinping and installed a democracy.

Obviously this didn't happen.

And just like that, Lock'n'Load Publishing join the list of people I just won't buy from. I'm very sorry to all the developers and artists who they clearly don't give a fuck about. Imagine sending a fucking marketing email with such awful slop that has your own products wrong.

This ancient photoshop job is aspirational. We should repurpose the tools of imperial violence and use them to detonate speeders.

"Speed limit enforced by aircraft" sign with an Apache helicopter photoshopped into the background.

Went up Ben Lomond for the first time in years today. Such a treat to have this an hour from home.

Alpine terrain - scree and shrubs/grasses on Ben Lomond.

Some beautiful and complex faulting and folding in the dolerite on Ben Lomond.

The rank hypocrisy of the stadium project remains both transparent and disgusting. Here's an example from the local paper today of the front cover and then the page 2 article.

Page 2 - an article headlined "Schools waiting for essential upgrades."

And an absolutely left field pick, but one that still sticks in my mind for how bold and colourful and strange it all was for a game about competing software companies: Tom Clancy's Ruthless dot com

If you're in Tas, please turn out tomorrow for this event.

I have a pic of my own somewhere but here's the (apparently) original clothes as part of the GameOn exhibition from 2008.

A real "aged like milk" moment with the title and discussion on this episode of @cornerspaeti.operationglad.io. Can't wait for the follow up "Jesus Christ England" episode.

Just imagining a better world where Demis just kept on making great games, maybe he could even have kept Molyneux earthbound. Rather than (gestures around) all this.

I had genuinely expected this to be way, way higher. But you can't help taste. I'm at 4/10 so far and given that those were stone cold locks, I'm really not confident about any others except TISM.

WeeMadAndo @weemadando.bsky.social · 15/07/2025

Here are my votes. It really came down to vibes and my feeling in the moment with this one. If I was to do it again now, there's probably only five songs on there that are a lock with about thirty leftover in my shortlist after culling it from a hundred or so.

WeeMadAndo @weemadando.bsky.social · 26/06/2025

God, what an alignment of interests on this one.

I mean, just look at how hateful, divisive, and dangerous this book is. Fucking, come on.

Text from the REBEL SCUM RPG book:

Over the last few years, in the real world, there has been
a startling rise in the number of people that are willing to
SPEW HATE anywhere they can. These people believe in
White Power, and fi ll the internet with nativist, racist, fascist
diatribes and outright lies. They think not getting a vaccine
is a moral right, and that doing anything to defeat their
political enemies is worth it.
Quite a few of these evildoers are deeply entrenched in
the various FANDOMS that leftist nerds like us adore. Very
specifi cally the fandom of a certain space opera franchise
about a war in the stars that we love with our whole hearts5
has way too many sad, bad guys in its ranks. While not
quite as bad, roleplaying has its share of malefactors,
hardliners, and otherwise shitty people.
This game is not for them. REBEL SCUM is for us.

No one has ever been as betrayed as this. How dare I take her for a wash. How cruel.

What helped me achieve this? Ancient Civs major?❌ Assassin's Creed II/Brotherhood? ✔️

Wing War or G-LOC in a R360 cabinet and the magical ability to be a foot shorter so I can actually sit in it.

I got the "living fossil" and that's what counts.

Now this is one I would have felt bad about failing.

These people will do anything except what people actually want: Return to huge ASCII docs on gameFAQs

A headline "New Copilot for Gaming Aims to Save You Time, Help You Get Good"

From the article:
On the podcast, Kardar introduced Copilot for Gaming, which Xbox Insiders can get an early preview of on mobile soon. This AI-driven sidekick is designed to be your personalized gaming companion, helping you get to your favorite games faster, coaching you to improve your skills, and connecting you better with your friends and communities. Copilot for Gaming will be there when you need it but out of the way if you don’t.

“Gaming is the only form of entertainment where you can get stuck,” said Kardar on the podcast. “So that’s where you want something to show up to say, ‘let’s help you get past that.'”

Reasons I love WFRP 4E No. 24601 For every single landmark, character, item, or creature - they (@cubicle7games.bsky.social) include a neat campaign agnostic plot hook about it for the GM to use.

Gotta say, feeling good about going so bad at this one.

Optus are finally updating the tower that covers my work and you better believe that anything will be an improvement on this shit.
