An incredible website. Amongst other delights are the world's lighthouses with their cycles in real time just for @regretteruane.bsky.social mapped.earth/lighthouses/...

Lighthouses of England & Wales | mapped.earth
Every charted lighthouse of England & Wales on a night relief map, each one sweeping or flashing at its real rhythm and lighting the coast it guards. Hover a light for its character.

I grew up* in back when ADHD was considered a completely fake diagnosis invented by Americans and big pharma and/or stigmatised to the point that a diagnosis was seen as little better than a ticket to a young offenders institution. I wonder why so many people my age got diagnosed in their 30s & 40s

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

Oh! And, as I've just remembered, huge shoutout to Podd (bbcmicro.co.uk/jsbeeb/play....) and Viking England that I played in primary school on the BBC Acorn (or Micro, I forget). Burned into my brain

Honourable mentions to the pong console with a light-gun, the act of self-flagellation that was Dragon's Lair and its plethora of diskettes, and to Wolfenstein 3D, of which we got via shareware on a bright-orange diskette from a local game store. There are probably myriad others I've forgotten.

Definitely missing a few that I played to death, and I could probably add another nine from mid-late 90's onwards, but these nine all played in ways that made me think differently about games and the different elements that made them fun. my9games.net
A grid containing the covers of nine games. Seabase Delta, Chaos: Battle of Wizards, Dizzy, Tetris, Zelda: Link's Awakening, Transport Tycoon Deluxe, X-wing vs Tie Fighter, Omega and X-Com: UFO Defense

Hi there folks, while I'm reluctant to spam BSky I'm getting a bit desperate. @uklta.bsky.social is running its next #LARP Cyberpunk: A Life on the Edge next weekend and we've been hit by some crew dropouts that are close to making it non-viable.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.
