So it might be a bit early, considering I've not actually finished the game, but I'm pretty sure Death Stranding 2 is my favourite game of the year.

I've made this gag elsewhere and I'll keep making it for that sweet, sweet Warhammer clout

So I posted this a while ago, then I moved it once and it fell apart. So here is the rebuilt city board for Legions Imperialis..

Back home, I think the big guy missed us. Now to just stay awake for a few more hours.. somehow...

Starmer says past governments have been "squeamish" talking about immigration. Bullshit. Starmer isn't bravely breaking a taboo. He's blaming vulnerable people & deflecting attention from the super rich who hoard power & wealth. Want something better? join.greenparty.org.uk

Some populations are much more likely to take Tylenol during pregnancy than others. These rates also change over time. If Tylenol caused autism not only would the evidence make it obvious, you would be reading about it in a peer-reviewed journal, not hearing it from a far-right anti-vaxx crank.

Does Tylenol cause autism? A full neuroscientific analysis. open.substack.com/pub/theneuro... A nuanced and thorough explanation of the US administration's recent claims that Tylenol (paracetamol) is the cause of autism. #Tylenol #Autism #Trump #science #brains

Is there anything better than getting an idea, getting so hyped for it, then realising it'll be a ton of work, then thinking "fuck it let's goooo"? No. The answer is no.

Holiday reads! I finally finished Tokyo Ueno Station by Yu Miri after a couple of false starts. Excellent read about homelessness in Tokyo. It's not happy, but it has a drifting mix of past and present that really gave it a dreamy but harsh atmosphere.

A cheeky stop in Osaka for a zine fest and then back to Tokyo

I did a political thing and joined The Green Party. Do I fully believe they accurately represent *everything* I want to see? No. But they are ahead of everyone else by a country mile.

What is the first thing you do in Tokyo? Drink a strong coffee and hit up the aquarium of course...

Led By Donkeys have got Fartrage's number.

This absolute banger

The load-bearing myth at the heart of UK politics is that the politicians and media are tolerant and decent and working people are knuckle-dragging bigots, but it's actually completely the other way around.

Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage. Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants. Don't fall for it.

Pleased to have finally pulled the plug on Spotify and moved everything elsewhere. The best bit is remembering that some music apps actually have music on the front page. Just music! New releases! Not videos of people recording podcasts in baseball caps!

Hey it's the folk I work for on the beeb

Sam Altman: I see humans achieving omnipotence using dark matter by… 2030 maybe? That’s if OpenAI is given a quadrillion dollars Theo Von: Yeah Altman: Or, we may become a race of slaves, genetically modified to be harvested by robot spiders. That’s if OpenAI doesn’t get the money Von: Right

They let me, @emthepaintfreak.bsky.social and Laura (who I don't think is on Bsky, go a bit mad with three Revenant Draconith kits for a fun Death-themed article. Some rad hobby work in here, Age of Sigmar... uh... forever! #WarhammerCommunity

We scrapped all the youth clubs, made everything expensive, took away things like skate parks, built massive housing estates with no green space, and wonder why kids get up to no good online. It's a complete mystery that definitely isn't a problem of our own making.

Oh hell yeah, today I'm gonna play some gosh darn tabletop games with friends.

so when you… • force this tech on most everyone • block it from acknowledging trans people even exist • remove lgbtq people from human rights reporting & allow ICE to conceal info on trans people in custody …it seems like a good time for cis folks to stop considering political “compromises.”

LISTEN TO “AS ALIVE AS YOU NEED ME TO BE” - nineinchnails.lnk.to/AAAYNMTB

I don't think people realise how much LLMs are dependent on prompting and how fundamentally a sentence can throw them into disarray. You aren't really hardcoding anything either - it's entirely how the model interprets your prompt. A reckless and nightmarish thing to deploy at scale

It's my birthday so I'm allowed to tell you to go listen to one of my favourite tracks I composed in 2022, wherein I try to answer the question: "What if The National was more chiptune?" alonemusic.bandcamp.com/track/an-ult...

Limited Edition Dreamcast Neon Genesis Evangelion Mouse (2002) Part of the Neon Genesis Evangelion: Ayanami Raising Project, it also came with a mouse-pad and pin set

Did a cheeky logo/brand for my buddies @threetwoaos.bsky.social Check em out if you are into Age of Sigmar and pleasant chatter! #warhammer #ageofsigmar

Doing my first GMing tomorrow. Night of the Hogmen! I hope the players appreciate the treats...

Here's your free RPG for #FreeRPGDay: You are a housecat. Whenever you attempt to pull a fast one on your humans, roll 1d6. 1: Spectacular failure; what do you destroy? 2-3: Marginal failure; what do you destroy? 4-5: Marginal success; what do you destroy? 6: Critical success; what do you destroy?

Finished up my Legions Imperialis board! Picked up the road tiles from Troublemaker games and they work so well. #warhammer #legionsimperialis

Hey! I had a lovely chat about making weird chiptune post rock with SQF of Chasing the Beats podcast. Thats right, me, talking about my music, it was nice! I was also just recovering from covid so.. was slightly delirious :D open.spotify.com/episode/1yZ0...

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

The cartoon Monkey Dust should be spoken of as one of the great cultural satires of our generation, like the day today, instead it's forgotten about completely

Incredible stuff.

Do you want a game that's basically a '08 - '15 kids TV show that is just delightful? To a T is that game. It's like a burst of colour for 6 hours. It also has a theme song and closing theme for every episode.

Ugh I got covid again. Remember: covid sucks.
