Freelance Work: I'm on the hunt for a coder/webdev to assist on @rpgsite.net enhancing & maintaining our 100% custom backend, Mist Engine, & on spinning up exciting new projects. Knowledge of Elixir/Phoenix a must, Go desirable. Rates negotiable, and a chance for regular recurring work out of this.

Huh, a news story I wrote last year is doing the rounds here. I have no idea why. Bear in mind that the story is kinda old. Who knows what Capcom is actually doing with AI this year, someone should ask them.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

Big shout to the editorial folks fighting the Black Friday battle today. I sat out last year, which was a nice break. Back to it!

I am kissing 10 kilos down after 3 months of going to the gym and eating fewer massive pizzas. I really, really want a massive pizza. I blink, and a really horrible £10 dogshit pizza appears in front of my eyes.
