Relieved to have found out that a developer for Apple platforms, you can add multiple secondary/work Apple accounts to your Mac/iPhone for the sake of 2-step verification codes, without logging out of a personal account.
(Niche, but if this helps one person, it was worth it!)

"An attempted-murder mystery set in an a 1920s all-girls private school reveals itself to also be an eviscerating takedown of British class politics. Witty and beautifully drawn... it has the feel of a really excellent graphic novel."

ICYMI: We made a fun little free puzzle you can play in your browser, in the run up to the release of TR-49 (which is coming shockingly soon)

⚠️ TR-49 -- an archive of books that don't exist ⚠️
We began investigating through a simple prototype - before we built the machine.
The "game" has moved far, far beyond this now. But the old prototype is "playable".
You may find it revealing.

I enjoyed putting together this web-based exploration of the material Jon found in his great uncle’s attic! Can you figure out the code?

A side note that if you've played and enjoyed Heaven's Vault (I had 3 playthroughs for something like 50 hours total to see the bulk of the game), THERE ARE BOOKS AND THE BOOKS ARE ACTUALLY GOOD. There will be even more books (3 currently).
Do play first bc of spoilers.

On @strasser.bsky.social’s recommendation I just tried my first coffee with “freeze distilled milk” at Nostos in London. The barista said it would taste like raspberry ripple ice cream and… it actually did 🤯
Best coffee of my life so far! Incredible.

Stopped by Bletchley Park earlier this year with @jon.inkle.co. Took a few snaps of the old machines. I love how the mechanisms work, but even after building TR-49 around Pemberton’s circuit diagrams, nothing quite lines up, even though the logic is mathematically sound and matches the Godot code.

I’ve been sooo happy with how things have been going for our first game in @godotengine.org!
I’ve been wondering about sharing my thoughts on my top 5-10 Godot features. Does that sound of interest to anyone?

We don't know. What we do know is the wiring diagram works. We built it, virtually, in @godotengine.org. We fed it scans of the books we found.
And the books are very, very strange. The "game" that resulted is also strange.
We're hoping people can make sense of it for us.

Today is the day to tell a strange story.
The long version we'll tell later, but the short version is this. In an attic, in his late great-uncle's house, @jon.inkle.co found a locked trunk. It took twenty years to open. Last summer he did.
Inside was a wiring diagram, and a stack of books.
