As I was leaving the pub I heard someone talking about the genius of Miyazaki, so I turned to them and said something like "Miyazaki! Dark Souls! Yeaahhh!"
(They were talking about that Miyazaki, not the other one, who also warrants a "Yeaahhh!")

11 days from now marks one year since this guy got away with doing a Nazi salute on live TV. Since then, he - the world's richest man - has gutted govt programmes causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of children and turned his microblogging website into a child porn generator. Consequences!

I'm too lazy to do it myself but a blocklist for everyone sharing AI "unmasked" images of the murderous ICE thug would be nice.
It's such a wildly irresponsible and dumb thing to do. People saying "find him" while posting him with randomly generated faces is so stupid I don't know where to begin.

Adding a new boon to Reality Drift, inspired by Brimstone in Slay the Spire, which is the relic that each turn increases your strength by 2 and enemy strength by 1.
A boon is a special modifier/bonus which you get in late-game missions. It's a lot like the Neow bonuses in STS.

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

The best joke in the Alan Partridge podcasts was the time he spoke to the managing director of Morphy Richards:
I said, "Morphy, you didn't have to do this. It means a lot". And he said, "I'm not called Morphy, but you're very welcome".

I keep thinking about the stress expended by small sites responding to the Online Safety Act. Trying to make sense of unclear guidance and do their best, already thinking about user safety. And then I think about X deciding to openly generate masses of CSAM and the lack of action taken against them.

We're still hard at work on Reality Drift, and I'm really happy with how it's going.

I was quite enjoying Last Judge when I finally beat it. I was even quite enjoying it when I had to beat it again.
I finished as much of Sinner's Road as I can, so I'm back here now. Maybe it's time to quit again.

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party.

Game design as a discipline stems from the premise that you know what the player "wants" better than the player does, at least some of the time, in the sense that you must be opinionated about what the experience of the game is... that's what game design is. That's the job.
If you asked a nation of games developers whether it's rude to "assume you understand what the player wants more than the player does", you would spark a civil war.

Trying to school a determined Reform voter by posting a heartfelt list of obvious facts on social media is like trying to get rid of a plague of rats by reciting poetry into the toilet bowl.
