You'd think that someone who is

would do all they could to avoid
"speeding in April 2023, running a red light in February 2025 and driving without due care and attention in April 2025."

Someone posting on their own social media accounts not liking a certain videogame, film, tv show, book, music etc. should not absolutely ever affect you personally whatsoever. It’s an opinion.
I promise it won’t hurt you or change the way you feel about said “thing.”

One definite advantage of old-fashioned diesel trains is that the rumble of the motor helps to drown out the sound of someone scrolling TikTok vids.

Harvey Price time then.
In 2016, I had an ill fated stint as the Social Media Producer on Loose Women on ITV. It was a disaster, I should never have applied for the job, I certainly shouldn’t have been given it. I could do the actual job standing on my head, but the politics of the place…woof.

Over 600 suspected house platforms have been identified at Brusselstown Ring hillfort in County Wicklow, marking it as the largest known prehistoric nucleated settlement in Britain and Ireland. doi.org/hbhgtd
Scientists have uncovered evidence of Ireland's largest prehistoric hillfort settlement
In a recent study published in Antiquity, Dr. Dirk Brandherm and his colleagues identified more than 600 suspected house platforms in the Brusselstown Ring hillfort, making it the largest nucleated settlement ever discovered in the entirety of prehistoric Britain and Ireland thus far.

It uses procedural generation for both the endless levels and the soundtrack. I often leave it on just to listen to the music. The default instruments are a 24-piece orchestra, but you can choose from various audio packs or use your own soundfont. 😎

Playing Samsara was what made us approach Meghna for 80 Days. Wonderful thing.
Storynexus is shutting down soon and Josh is doing heroic work preserving Samsara - my game of courtly intrigue, opium-fuelled poetry and dream-walking set in Bengal in 1757, at the dawn of the British Raj. You can play along + even vote on options!
For a little preservation effort, EJ is doing a commented playthrough of Yoon Ha Lee's Winterstrike, and I've started one for @meghna.bsky.social's Samsara:

People get hung up on "I don't know how to write a good review" but honestly you don't need paragraphs of analysis and observations. Don't compare yourself to a journalist. "I loved it!" or "I had fun" are equally valid reviews, AND matter just as much to the Steam algorithm to support game devs!
