Just watched TNG - Perfect Mate, then Red Dwarf - Camille, and Red Dwarf does the whole 'women who morphs into the object of everyone's desire' so much better. Just 28 minutes, and has a better character arc, plus the classic Kryten trying to lie sequence

Last few days for the Edinburgh Trams consultation! Apparently, people are overwhelmingly rejecting both routes, because they are more than the original tram costs, unfunded, and rely on two old bridges that may or may not take the weight 😅

Foolish Mortals is a loving throwback to Lucasarts games like Full Throttle, with clever puzzles set in a richly designed, fictional Louisiana bayou. @inklingwood.bsky.social #FoolishMortals #Steam #indiegame

For adventure gamers who remember The Old Ways: this is a nice critique of early 2000s gamer snark. Gabriel Knight 3 had some really good bits, and adventure games didn't die - big American publishers just stopped selling them. (The cat moustache puzzle was genuinely bad, though.)
