Highly recommend: Signed up to my local D&D club this week and my one is great. Now I have a new terrifyingly expensive potential time sync of a hobby and am having serious thoughts about designing custom miniatures

Britain's first NPC prime minister announces his resignation, expresses no opinions on his successor, and hands over decisions about a contest to a committee to decide a process. Apt. #ukpol #starmer Back to "something decisive will happen tomorrow" on liminal-island.

I can't be the only person who thinks both that Olly Robbins deserved to be fired AND Kier Starmer has terrible judgement and is entirely responsible for the mess he is in. Oh has he got things to say about all corruption he was part of now he's lost his job? Great, but let's not pin a medal on […]

The UK tech energy grab: how AI data centres are delaying the building of homes
Artificial intelligence infrastructure is being handed priority access to Britain's overwhelmed electricity grid, pushing housing down the list. But as the US shows, there's an alternative: make Big Tech pay for the power it needs. Report by Nicole Kobie

I've been reading this book about whale brains and it's got me thinking what if we aren't the smartest animal on earth but we're only the smartest collective intelligence; i.e. when we all are able to network our brains together both in space with direct cooperation, and through time with writing.

Cairn is a surprisingly thorough simulation of climbing, really fun so far but I did get obsessed with climbing all the bouldering routes in the starting area. Bit worried the survival mechanic will be a thing, hoping it's pretty light touch on that.

Have just completed a studio wide playtest and can re-confirm QA is a professional and undervalued skill that other developers do not automatically have. 🧑‍🎨 :"game is in tatters!" 🤓 : "where did this error start?" 🧑‍🎨 : "everywhere!" is not helpful test feedback #gamedev #indiedev

Anyone who writes fan-fiction about a franchise should be banned for life from having any actual authority over that franchise in the future. I know it's harsh but I think it would have saved us from a lot of terrible things
