I really didn't get on with 'Tom Clancy's The Division 1' on X-Box. Partly because I can't aim for shit with a controller but mostly because I think I approached the game the wrong way. However I'm playing Division 2 on PC and enjoying the hell out of it.

Oh God! This! What is it with kids wanting to make every monster a pet? No. You can't talk to the Froghemoth or tame it!!

Once his name is removed I think that everyone that pulled out of that Freedom concert or whatever it is, should do a gig there to celebrate.

I finally bought the Troubleshooters RPG. I love its energy but, reader, this TTRPG should have been a comic.

These characters are now available for purchase separately or as a discounted bundle! Get them here: t.co/Y9f8hY6obd

Instagram has added a new feature where it stops the feed and says, time for a break? A nice idea but maybe wait a bit longer than just three posts. 😂

I saw one of those YouTube ads earlier for a video game that claims to have won awards but looks like a Mafia money laundering scam. You know the ones. Animated with AI. This one in particular features a man punching a woman out as a joke and I never ever want to see that shit on my screen again.

I have a dream. A beautiful dream that one day I will take my car to an MOT garage that actually has customer parking. The day will come when I don't have to park it 'around the corner.'

Thought I'd give the Guy Richie, Man from UNCLE a go. Henry Cavill was superb as the unflappable Napoleon Solo. Armie Hammer didn't quite manage to be likeable as Kuriyakin. It was fun overall but felt a little flat as well. I can see why there was never a sequel.

Note: We do not use AI. Period. We pay humans to create our games, end-to-end. Adobe recently implemented a feature that quietly injected AI alt text into Umdaar. We've removed it, updated the PDF, and disabled the feature. We apologize for the error, please download the latest PDF. Also: Fuck AI.

Love Outgunned but can't think what to run with it. Absolutely love the Troubleshooters setting but not keen on what I've seen of the rules. ...wait a minute...

New episode of Signals from the Core is up: our first deep dive into Capital, the throne world of the Third Imperium. A place that’s far more than Cleon, the Grand Palace of Arbellatra, or the Moot Spire. Take a tour with me… podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

This doesn't surprise me in the least. The work that has gone into it is incredible.

Started playing Tom Clancy's Division 2. Not really done anything yet except create a character and head to the White House. First thoughts are, I must get an AR that doesn't ride up so much. Even with short, 3 round bursts I'm wasting too much ammo.

Oddly, the first I heard of 007 First Light was when it was released the other day. Nevertheless it got me in the mood for some Bond so input on Tomorrow Never Dies. I had it in my head that it was a middling entry but it's definitely one of the better ones. Really enjoyed it.

It says something about the story and cinematics in 007 First Light that I'm still watching and enjoying a playthrough on Youtube as if it were a TV miniseries. I think if Amazon's new take on Bond is similar, I'd be okay with it.

I gave Tom Clancy's Division a go when it was free with Gold a few years back. Loved the idea but found the game frustrsting. In fairness it's most likely me being rubbish than the game being too difficult. I alwys meant to go back and give it another go.

Watching a playthrough of 007 First Light (it'll be a few years before I can afford it) and the idea of these track and field glamour models being able to take out SAS soldiers just simply won't make a connection in my brain. Firstly, it's a bit insulting to the SAS. Secondly... 1/2

if you're feeling down about genAI please remember that it is a) intensely unpopular b) immensely unprofitable c) being propped up by people who NEED it to succeed, will spend any amount to create an illusion of a win but still keep failing and leaving the people they work with caked in shit

Gorilla Playing Saxophone with Balloons has dropped out of the White House concert

Gah. Adverts for AI apps that I can't immediately skip, makes me want to smash things. I feel dirtier every second it's on screen.

What admission would kill your Grognard cred? I occasionally find myself at a table with a group of middle-aged men pretending to be elves and wonder what the fuck I'm doing with my life.

I quite often find myself wishing that an RPG was a movie, TV show or comic instead, to save me the hassle of having to use my players to bring the world to life.

One Twitter feature I wish Bluesky had is the ability to create a new feed column for a specific hashtag. Also, it'd be nice if you could set hashtags in Bluesky to default to Latest. I'm really not interested in what the algorithm thinks is the most important or most relevant post.

What is this thing recently in Star Wars with everyone going on about damp ferrets?

Those who can't make UKGE - we should take this weekend to promote our games, and play them online using #UKGEfromHome

No Expo for me this year but I shall be experiencing it vicariously here instead. Enjoy, folks!

I bunged Mission Impossible 3 on and that was top notch. A considerable improvement on 2. The rubber mask stuff is still goofy but it's all part of the fun.

I was going to skip this episode of @breakfastruins.bsky.social because I often find pontificating about the horrors of a third world war somewhat ghoulish. However I'm glad I didn't because I really enjoyed it.

Here's what they look like printed!

It feels good to have found time to create some personal art over the last month!

I don't want to create a brand - I want to create a world. ✨️🌿

It's bloody depressing that artists feel they need to open a showcase of their work with, 'No AI.' but here we are.

I've never watched The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (original) I wouldn't mind giving it a go. It's on Prime, though, but I don't know if it's worth resubscribing. Maybe I should start a Google doc of things I want to watch and when there is enough from one service, I could resubscribe and binge. 😁

Slightly obsessed with pairing Glorantha with Outgunned. I've got a fairly reasonable Vasana conversion. It's just all the bloody magic that's causing an issue. I reckon Rune Magic will work as Feats, costing Adrenaline and Sorcery as per the Magic rules in Action Flicks vol 2.

Giving the Jonah Hex movie a go.

Behold! The first official line of minis for Flak Arcana are now available for purchase on MyMiniFactory The set includes 10 characters, each with alternate parts and loadouts. Each mini comes fully pre-supported, ready to print and play! #flakarcana

Collage animation I made a while back, it's called "the idea of a tiger" Made with photos of real Tigers, pictures of toys, bits of ads and comics.

This is a zine from 1983, that didn't exist, coming in your ears from The GROGPOD .. With @wyrdscience.bsky.social thegrognardfiles.com

I downloaded a mod to respawn NCPD events in Cyberpunk so that I can carry on playing my current cybergod and have something to do. It doesn't seem to work, though, sadly. All installed correctly as far as I can tell. I could try and figure it out but I can't be arsed, to be honest.

Of course it was. They have to keep an eye on their asset and ensure that he's not double-dealing them.

IYKYK IDK so please explain it to me as if I were a child.

I have some exciting news. I have signed a contract with the MIT Press to release a book on the history of #Warhammer. Titled THE FORGING OF WORLDS, it draws on over 15 years of research and tells the story of the creation of #WFB, #WFRP and #WH40K. More in the link below....

In the cinema to watch Mandalorian and Grogu in Imax. It's not what you would describe as sold out. 50 people tops maybe.

It's funny. I've watched countless documentaries on the Silk Roads, but you never really learn about the Silk Roads themselves. Instead you learn a hell of a lot about politics, trade, geography, geology, farming, nomads, warfare, history, horses, disease and much much more 😁

Sigh. Do I go and see the Mandalorian in the cinema or just wait until it's on D+ ? I used to love going to the cinema. It always feels like a bit of a chore these days.

I still remember my utter disappointment in the early 00's when the BBC did a Robin Hood TV series and it felt more like Biker Grove than this absolute gem. This, for me, is the best the Robin Hood legend has ever been. Earth tones, greasy beards and low magic.
