So, what's up with ko-fi and dice.camp? I got this message: "Your subscription has been canceled Several attempts to charge your payment method have been unsuccesfully for your subscription to dice.camp. As a result, your subscription was automatically canceled." When I log in to ko-fi my […]

Personally I think it's a really odd UX decision to combine the boost and quote function. #mastodon #uxdesign

Donna Jean Thatcher Godchaux-MacKay, thank you for the music! #rip #themusicneverstopped

Reading Chill 3rd ed rules reminded me of how 1st ed with its three tiered skill system felt much like a class based system. This newer edition is a bit more nuanced. There are some interesting options as well with multiple success levels and dark/light tokens to show who's got the upper hand […]

So I've just signed up to run a game of Chill 3rd ed. for a convention in three weeks. If my submission is accepted, maybe I should refresh my understanding of the rules a bit? I remember I liked what I read, when they were new. #chill #horror #conventions

Who control the world? Boardgaming weekend. #sjgames #illuminati #Boardgame

I don't understand a word of it, since it's all in French. It's just music, pure sound and emotion. https://tidal.com/album/162398388/u #nowplaying #mylenefarmer

Why are the conspiracy theory mind rot affecting F1 fans as well? Are you stupid or something! Piastry just isn't as on his game as his team mate, live with it! Ferchristsakes... Australia really isn't putting forward their best at this time.

We just watched "In the mood for love" by Kar-Wai Wong. This movie is exquisite. Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung are great, as is the photography and the music. What I most strongly remembered from last time I saw it, is the long corridor in the apartment house. People pass really closely in that […]

Scarlet>Touch>Fire 84/07/13 Just mesmerizing. #themusicneverstopped #nowplaying

If games with complex rules are called "crunchy", are games with low complexity rules then "mushy"? I think i might start using that.

It never cease to amaze me how many times Taylor Swift manages by word choices to drop key words from other songs. A very effective way to eject a feeling or mood by associations that works only if you have *really* listened and memorized her precious lyrics. #analyzingmusic #taylorswift […]

When F1 is kind of processional, and the races are decided in turn one, there's a lot of entertainment in the junior single seater series! I keep pushing for those as there are so much fun racing there. Last race of the GB3 at Monza, the Temple of Speed. Go, go, go! […]

Riffing with Phil Lesh and I almost feel like I grasp it. Music when there are no limits is so liberating, just feeling. #themusicneverstopped #terrapinstation #music

Today, the player characters were targets of assassinations, and contacts currying their favour. Fame and attention! Leaving town, they have traveled to Artemis southern continent, and have encountered a less than cooperative local governor and a bishop who fear heretics in every shadow. So […]

Changing the music around a bit here at home. Listening to *Hoist* by Phish, and it's a surprisingly motley mix of genres and styles. Fun! #music #phish #hoist #nowplaying

Now I've listened to the new Taylor Swift album multiple times, and I nothing beats listening to it at a movie theatre. Apart from the experience, how's the music? It's clearly a very different album from TTPD. As that one was introspective, this one is outgoing and funny. I don't think it's […]

I'm listening to podcasts about how legendary tracks were created and recorded, comparing chord progressions & time signatures. I play the tracks loud for my family to hear, multiple times. Not only am I feeling the groove, I even pick up the guitar to play a few bars. Soon I'm playing and […]

Not fun when a person from Discord drops out of sight, and the only contact info you have is the Discord account :( It's that worry of "did something bad happen?" David/Bram, if yer out there, give a holler! #ttrpg #adnd #osr

Regarding Canada Post and the postal workers strike:

My latest reading pile. #ttrpg

The only correct answer to which is better between single coil and humbucker pickups is "yes". #guitar

I have been thinking many times on how to make combat more interesting at the gaming table. Often, it's not all that exciting, and the choices few. Today I found a blog post that had an interesting idea about "reach". No, it's not about those terrible attacks of opportunity. It's better. I kind […]

I just got home from the release event at the cinema for Taylor Swifts "The Life Of A Showgirl", and it was fun to get some party feels with swifties! That was my first listen through all the songs, and sadly I don't think this is as strong as earlier albums. There are some stonkers, and some […]

Hey it grooves! dance baby, dance. https://tidal.com/browse/album/323856439?u #nowplaying #taylorswift #1989

Every programming language has to strike a balance when it comes to abstraction and none of them get it right. Rust is written in a way that is often too abstract for the things that you want to do with it. https://corrode.dev/blog/simple

The last session of my BRP Fading Suns game for this story arc has finished. Conclusions so far is that the BRP hack works fine. There are some quirks in the 7th ed combat rules I've not yet internalized, like the opposed rolls. The use of our one theurge's powers seem cheap. Power points […]

Det funkade helt okej. Ganska smakrikt, men färgen blev lite trist. 1 dl mjöd (torr sort), någon matsked äppelcidervinäger, och så resten buljong som vanligt.

A NEW study of the Finland basic income experiment just dropped. Turns out psychotropic drug use decreased by 8 %–11 %, and incomes increased on average by 9% to 11% due to people not losing the income when they accepted a job, unlike traditional unemployment. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

If you are playing Rock Hard 1977 and want to have the playlist running, as created by designer Jackie Fox, I have reproduced it in Tidal. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/402679/rock-hard-1977 https://tidal.com/playlist/3a9f0a1e-97bb-4580-bb73-ee96c9663c95 #boardgames #jackiefox […]

Sweet end to the F2 Sprint Race! A first Swedish win in F2, both not the last? Impressive way to handle the safety car restarts. Go Dino! Watching junior series, I am often most impressed by people who can handle to be passed in a safe manner. We saw some less handled attempts as well in this […]

I am a bit woozy from not feeling 100% but I decided to try to watch some racing anyway. When the race was red flagged for a long time I kind of lost focus, and when I started watching again things had happened. It was clear when the race had ended that something had happened to some of the […]

It's game day and I'm quite keen to get going, so what happens? I wake up and it feels like someone poured cleaning fluid down my throat, and rubbed sand into my eyes. Cancelling. Meh. #firstworldproblem #rpgthescheduling #damnthatvirus

Hey now! Hey now! #keeptripping #freeyourmind #nowlistening

I heard of this game, and liked the theme. Not only that, but it's actually designed by the bassist from The Runaways, Jackie Fox! I watched a review that said it was strongly themed and a quick play. Sold! Now I'm waiting for it to arrive so I can tempt some potential players […]

These are the kind of things that makes me have warm and fuzzy feelings for the Rust community. https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/09/10/rust-compiler-performance-survey-2025-results/ Surveys are done, and the results clearly communicated. Cool beans. #rustlang #happyhacking

Having played a couple of session of my 7th ed BRP hack of Fading Suns I note something interesting about the option to push your roll. Have you ever been in a situation where someone miss their roll and everyone else around the table ask if they can give it a go? I think this mechanic makes the […]

Holocaost museum i LA tog bort denna de delat pga för politisk. Dela för att visa att den är precis vad som behövs delas.

If you haven't seen the FIA F3 feature race at Monza this weekend, you might be missing one of the best single seater races this year! Epic racing! #fiaf3 #f3 #racing #motorsport

There will be no explanations, only reputation #nowplaying #taylorswift #reputation

Is there no way to get in contact with the webmaster for the WEC site? It's been broken with a recursive redirect for days now?! #fia #wec #motorsport

Something is really fishy. I am logged into Pixelfed on my phone, but I just can't get in on the web. I tried the recover email link, and it claims the username I am using *while logged in on my phone* does not exists? WTF? #pixelfed

For some reason I can no longer login to Pixelfed. Is it the new moronic Captcha that's messing it up? #pixelfed

When your code works but no idea how

A thought from The Game Design Round Table podcast. Gamesystems which has more complex results than the binary succeed/fail, will result in more cognitive load for the player. Does this have to be a bad thing? No, but it might actually be sorting out some of your target audience who don't feel […]

After her win in the F1 Academy I have been cheering on Abbi Pulling in her GB3 campaign. It hasn't always been an easy run, but there's some amazing racing in the junior single seater series! We all know F1 cars are too big. The smaller ones, are sometimes more fun! I'm happy Pulling has given […]

I think it's so very telling that ever attempt to try to invent new square wheels, i.e. new ways to package software on linux (snaps and flatpack being the latest), generates a bunch of new problems.

I've tried to change from Firefox, as Mozilla work so hard on driving me away, and have now run Vivaldi for a bit. Whenever I browse to a site that does any kind of live updates, like have a ticker or stream some information, the fans goes bananas. Firefox just chug along silently. It would be […]
