I still haven't managed to push myself to finish Last Constable's story after several years cause final stage is too scary and I don't want to face the consequences if it'll go WRONG. Brilliant usage of that unique for Fallen London approach to chances of success (trying to avoid spoilers in post!)

thinking about how fallen london has an infamous "irrevocably destroys your character at every step while insisting that it's only going to get worse with no reward" quest that was gradually defanged by people just doing it for fun. became a big joke. but nobody was laughing when they topped it

We always respect Onfim.

Mandrake has just passed 100,000 wishlists. That feels significant. Recently we also passed 100,000 lines of code. What could it mean? (Thank you!)

Midnight reminder that your artist friends may not be receiving as many comms this season, so many folks are extra tight on funds. If you're in a better spot, find one to throw some money at. Don't need art? Get it for a friend, or sponsor the artist to indulge in something THEY want to make.

Fallen London regularly delights me by turning the most mundane game aspects into wicked surprises. In this case: an inventory item which might spring to life and eat your candles at any time.

До меня только сейчас дошло, что в D&D стереотипно халфлинги — воры, а воры — халфлинги, ПАТАМУШТО БИЛЬБО.

мне сегодня первый раз за годы приснился не кошмар, не тоскливый знакомый сюжет и не набор тревожных кадров, а сон-мечта: просто картинка прекрасной возможной реальности такое странное ощущение, как будто прикоснулся к чему-то запретному

Вот только позывов к селфхapму нам и не хватало, блять. Я уже 3 года полностью держусь без. Never again. Но звонок, конечно, не то чтобы неожиданный - закономерный, но все равно печальный.

О Денисе Бондаренко мы впервые рассказали в 2023 году — он убедил своих друзей, что за ними следит ФСБ, и выманил у них около 15 миллионов рублей — якобы на взятки силовикам и эвакуацию из России. Ложь была раскрыта, но на этом история не закончилась. Фильм на ютубе: youtu.be/-E34OPdCJ7k?...
