The fact that the future was 10 years ago today, almost to the minute of writing this it I’m not mistaken, is crazy. I was a new BTTF fan when it was the future, now my world has expanded.

A petition against an ID system in the UK. Privacy is being roasted at the stake right now and I worry what this could be used for. Especially with how much they're trying to police tech use. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...
Reject plans for a mandatory BritCard (digital ID)

I don’t care if it’s embarrassing to say this, but I want the internet to be kind again. I want people to care out loud without fear. I want sincerity not to feel like weakness.

I don’t want to live in a world where caring about stuff is shameful.

Now Mississippi has been hit with some bullshit laws. Smaller websites, mainly smaller social networks, are struggling with all these laws. On Top of killing privacy and somewhat pushing back the rights to sex, they're killing anyone who isn't big multi-million dollar company. What's the point?

I know, I'm Totally OutRaged too about god damn Ofcom.
This is what the people of the UK will be seeing when they log into Vanillo today. We would like to sincerely apologize. We hope these draconian acts can soon be repealed. Here is a legal message from our lawyer* Lenny Loophole.

With Vanillo down now for UK Citizens, can the UK Government get its shit together?

I don't entirely understand the hype behind autumn. I'd love it if it was how it was idealised but in the UK we get none of the beauty it seems at least where I am. It goes from this to this in a day it feels like

I was happy until I saw “Metroidvania”

Seriously wish Classicvanias got more love. I know about Bloodstained but we get several dozen Metroidvanias a year, why not some classic ones?

why do people call games "rogue-likes" now when I assume they just man randomised? Wouldn't that word be easier to describe a game? How would a fucking card game be like Rogue? It's just a randomised card game right??????

You may have heard that the book publisher Unbound has collapsed into a big hole and taken everybody's money with it. If you're interested in the nifty and eclectic books which got shafted, keep an eye on therebounded.substack.com which will be telling you about them & where you can get them.

If there is one piece of good news from the Unbound publishing debacle, it is that agents and publishers have a chance to take on some amazing agents and books. This is where you find out about them....

RIP Brian Wilson. Not the biggest Beach Boys fan but I've definitely grown to them since this year started, at least a tiny bit.

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable.

The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found':
