Me when I learned that Jesse Schell's Game Designer's Notebook talk was about using genAI. I just walked out.

no greater testament to the fact that the general public are unthinking, artless hogs who deserve nothing

Can whichever man in Brighton has lingering psychosexual guilt about the treatment of his deceased wife please get over it already, I want to go for a walk.

Good weekend all, I’m trying to compile a list of (short, like SHORT short) first person/3D art games, ideally with land art or megaliths or otherwise cool landscape stuff. Any and all suggestions very welcome.

Some of my favourite non-biblical church imagery (I think, not sure about the pelican actually). Just some neat little guys.

"Not capable of graduating?" A ton of students here and across the post-92 sector come to university through access courses, take foundation years, etc. They graduate just fine, thanks. Tickell should confine himself to plans for a rowing lake on campus or something, if the edge needs taking off.

Having just realised that UKGE is getting closer, I'm thinking about what I'll be stocking on my (first) solo stand. My own products (and mosaics!) will take up most stand space, but I'm considering 'hosting' a curated set of work by others who don't have stands – possibly focusing on indie horror.

I too would like some fun campy science fiction tv about now, but everyone is right to reject reviving something from 20 years ago that has aged poorly as a solution.

Something for one of the really bougie borrower families.

This is keeping me sane.

Someone should really make a left wing version of Private Eye.

Green embarrassing the right so hard they seem to be skirting dangerously close to suggesting we go back to one vote per household.

And Matt Goodwin who DID NOT win

What if... the President were to purchase fast food and disguise it as his own cooking?

Riffing on some old witch familiar images.

We re-uploaded a new edit of the Public Access review that hopefully won't get age-restricted and my viewers are making the most of it

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world." #AIslop #refuseresist

New year, new horse

I know this LOOKS bad, but have you considered that the purchase meant Sonys stock price probably went up a little bit for an afternoon?

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested, on his birthday?

swordfighting tactics, germany, 16th century

Never really post my art on Bsky but probably should. Anyway I’m playing around with colouring things a more more at the moment (yes it’s brown, baby steps ok?)

lent and ramadan kicking off on the same day

This game was such a (unsettling) blast to play with @vickitingle.bsky.social @samuelscaife.bsky.social @godribbon.bsky.social and absolutely no one else as far as I remember.

wow this is really controversial! my controversial tooth opinion: i understand and respect the evolutionary tradeoffs around specialized mammalian teeth, i really do, but gimme those old style continuously replaced early synapsid teeth. three sets is a weak premise.

Didn't expect the cheese and pineapple hedgehog to have roots this deep but OK.

The deadline for responding to this consultation (about whether we should shovel even greater heaps of bureaucratic misery onto immigrants in the hope of pacifying racists) is midnight on Thursday 12th:

Scope creep? I thought it was called Rear Window

Dear all the Actual Play series still using DnD as their base game; looks like Hasbro are giving you a heads up on that being a bad look...no time like right now to start the shift...

This Super Bowl Sunday, I’d like to introduce you all to the magical curse bowls used in Upper Mesopotamia and Syria in late antiquity. Written in Mandaic (as here) or Syriac Aramaic, they trap demons who trespass on a household by sucking them in with spiraling spells to the center of the bowl.

It's true.

was epstein uniquely responsible for evil or is he just the one obscenely wealthy person whose emails we're getting to read

Jubensha Con 2026 (London, May 8-9) is almost sold out after only two weeks! If you're on the fence, don't wait too long... A big reason we're keeping control of numbers is to make sure we have enough games for everyone, especially since this will be a lot of people's first time playing jubensha.

The Aronofsky trailer has really driven home for me that ai is just dream theater. No one quite looks like themselves, written words are nonsense and it’s painfully boring to anyone but the person who made it.

Shout out to the parents of Irving Finkel for naming their very much Irving Finkel son Irving Finkel, and for Irving Finkel for really living up to the name Irving Finkel.

We're launching a website. Jank is an independent PC games website funded by readers. jank.cool If you like funny, thoughtful games journalism and can't stand adverts, deals posts, affiliate links, and other nonsense - Jank is for you.

Poppers? The bottle text clearly states this is a room odorisor. (This has sent me down a mental rabbit hole on the future archaeological implications of objects that are...less than honest about their use and purpose)

A repost to prepare for later this week, when I get back into looking for a suitable venue.
