Hi #ttrpysky This is Noir, not available in English. This film noir themed dystopian RPG must be one of the thicker/heavier RPGs published in Swedish. It's massive and combines some indie/story gaming ideas with a rather heavy rules engine.

How’s about this for a line-up?

Notable for the sampled breathing of actual bicyclists during a race along with gears, chains & wheels in motion- German #Synth pioneers #Kraftwerk created a texturally complex dance record in 1983 “Tour De France”- it was an early Starck favorite #80sMusic #1980s #80s youtu.be/rTe7U92ecX8?...

⚡️ Poland warns Putin's flight to Hungary for Trump talks could be diverted to The Hague. "I cannot guarantee that an independent Polish court won't order the government to escort such an aircraft down to hand (Putin) over to the court in The Hague," Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said.

“Postmedia is the nation’s leading supplier of climate change denial and pro-oil industry propaganda, so it’s not surprising that they would dismiss academic research and rail against bike lanes when they provide an inexpensive solution to interrelated emission, pollution and congestion problems.”

Safety challenges will slow the readoption of the bicycle. Still, in cities that have made them mainstream, the idea of going back to car-clogged streets is considered ridiculous

⚡️Europe, NATO ready to shoot down Russian jets, Bloomberg reports. European diplomats told Russian officials this week that NATO is prepared to respond in force to further airspace violations, including by shooting down Russian planes, Bloomberg reported Sept. 25.

On this day in 1983, #SiouxsieAndTheBanshees released "Dear Prudence". A cover of a song by #TheBeatles it also featured #RobertSmith of #TheCure on guitars, covering for recently departed #JohnMcGeoch. It was a smash hit for the band, peaking at No. 3 on the #UKSinglesChart

"The worst film I’ve seen all year is Nic Pizzolatto’s #EasysWaltz, starring Vince Vaughn as a god-awful cover-band singer in Las Vegas. It's a catastrophic failure of tone, taste and directorial competence on almost every level." cultmtl.com/2025/09/tiff...

Spinning a reissue on orange vinyl of @garynumanofficial.bsky.social 1983 release: Warrior. Some shades of Gabriel 2-3 and maybe Lodger in the production, and there's even sax blowing on a few tracks. A nice surprise .100% Numan with a different approach to the sound engineering. Great listen:)

“There’s no excuse for political violence — but it’s hard to be sympathetic for someone who profited off hate. Charlie Kirk never ‘lowered the temperature’ as so many politicians and pundits are now disingenuously pleading. He is absolutely responsible for making political violence more prevalent.”

NATO, and above all Donald Trump, now face a moment of truth. Unless the response is immediate and unequivocal, Russia will see weakness
