50. ABIDE I feel like I'm cheating a little cause this one doesn't have a Steam page yet, but that doesn't make me less excited for it so fuck it. ABIDE is a stop motion horror game coming soon to Steam. Absolutely unbelievable art that you can follow progress of here: @king-spooner.bsky.social

I want to 100% agree with this reply. If your goal is to make something just because you want to make it, make whatever - take as long as you need, work 20 minutes a day if that's what you have, it doesn't matter. Please don't let commercialization get in the way of making art.

okay game idea 'Golf crossword'

Welcome all the new Blueskyers. Remember, we do things slightly differently here. Follow people and talk to them like you would in a coffee shop and you will get a nice new social media scene. Dunking, ranting, etc will probably earn a block, and those things are nuclear here. Bon voyage!

From Twelfth Night, if memory serves.

“No one teaches the Western canon anymore!” “Look, Plato’s Symposium is right here on my syllabus!” “Whoa, whoa, whoa—not that!”

Read two graphic novels, collecting individual issues of a run of comic books, over the break: New Mutants Vol 1 by Vic Ayala & Rod Reis and The Power Fantasy by @kierongillen.bsky.social Casper Wijngaard, Clayton Cowles and Rian Hughes. Some thoughts...

Update on this. This was actually one of THREE books titled New Mutants Vol. 1 from the same run. The actual story title was 'Welcome to the Wild Hunt' and by Vic Ayala and Rod Reis. I don't know why the story title wasn't part of book title, or why the collected books were ALL Vol. 1 🤷‍♂️

This is like an old fashioned Gawker blog but somehow British and high-brow. I'll take it. www.ft.com/content/ad94...

Republicans made welfare fraud in Minnesota the most important story in the country. Schumer turned a war for oil into a question about national security briefings.

Join us this afternoon at Edward House on Sauchiehall St for our MSc student board game expo! Until 4pm

Always a delight to see what the #SeriousGames students have come up with. If you're around Sauchiehall St today pop in and see for yourself (#199)

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Stark and otherworldly - sunset at Mitchell’s Fold, the Bronze Age stone circle on Stapeley Hill. I got this shot at the tail end of a blizzard, when the sky took on a golden glow that made a spectacular contrast with the snow-covered landscape. It was every bit as cold as it looks. #Shropshire

Yes, hello? I don’t think 2026 is working properly. I’d like to cancel my free 5 day trial please.

Thinking of my Venezuelan friends. I truly hope things are going to get better and that you’ll be able to finally go back home. But such interventionism wasn’t beneficial for the people in recent history, sadly (Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya..). My thoughts are with you 🌹 time.com/7342906/vene...

I think FIFA must rescind Donald Trump’s FIFA inaugural peace prize or I think the reputation of the FIFA peace prize could be severely compromised and it will be seen as just a sycophantic bauble - poor FIFA

This story made The National, but still hasn't appeared on BBC news AFAIK. www.thenational.scot/news/2573503...

TIL actor Angela Lansbury decamped to Ireland from Hollywood for a year after her teen daughter Diedre fell under the spell of a local "deadbeat," who was coercing her to steal money and food from her family for him. This was the "deadbeat."

going through some old photos, here is one from event in 2011. @garygibsonsf.bsky.social richard morgan and @halduncan.com talking about books, appears to being interviewed by @willcouper.bsky.social & visible in audience is @cameronjohnston.bsky.social - @realbigal.bsky.social & i were further back

call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

Canva is now an AI shitshow so it's no longer usable. The free tier of Vista Create helpfully doesn't give you access to AI tools (oh no, anyway), so I'm going to try that. If anyone else has other suggestions of simple online tools for making promotional stuff, do let me know please

2026 let’s go

This story is two months old. What did we know and when did we know it?

Blue Prince is our 2025 game of the year. Here's why it's so much more than just a brilliant puzzler: https://www.eurogamer.net/blue-prince-our-game-of-the-year-is-so-much-more-than-just-a-brilliant-puzzler

Great to see this workflow. Just my style! Not only is it great to see somebody so confident and comfortable in their editor, but also to explain what's going on so eloquently. Essential viewing! youtu.be/qjWkNZ0SXfo

Just imagine being able to sponsor suicide ideation! What a golden business opportunity. 😕

I’ve spent this morning morbidly watching the MTV channels close down and the final songs played were: MTV Music - Video Killed the Radio Star (Buggles) Club MTV - Don’t Stop the Music (Rihanna) MTV 90s - Goodbye (Spice Girls) MTV 80s - Together in Electric Dreams (Oakey and Moroder)

There was *very* active campaigning to tell the world that this film was terrible well before it was released. The IMDB forums for the movie were a cesspit, and YouTube movie reviewers were being brigaded online to not even review the movie (and some gave in).

It's Hogmanay here in Scotland, and that means another year without Scotch and Wry or Rikki Fulton. A retrospective is in order, so here's a look back at The Last Television Show Of The Year, links to the classic sketches, and the power of a sad "hullo..." to make a country laugh.

Hardest thing for me is picking a game released *this* year... Most of my gaming is about 2-5 years behind as I get most games on PS plus or when on discount. But link here for anyone who's gaming is a bit more up to date...

We’re adding a category to our IRL awards ceremony… The Bluesky’s Choice Award! And all you have to do is reply here with the game you believe deserves to win. You don’t even have to follow us 😉 *one nomination per account* *game must have released in 2025* *nominations close 31 Jan 2026*

Entirely separately stumbled on this yesterday and am half way through Carl Sagan's. Makes an interesting pairing with this year's on similar themes but with an almost fifty year change in style and substance.

One of my petty hates of Marvel comics is his confusing it is. A wall of X-men and related titles of varying degrees of canonicity, unclear run lengths and vague interconnectedness. As a former fan, I've considered trying to pick up some titles again every now and again... Cont...

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Creating the illusion of complexity by layering up a few simple elements, is one of my favourite things to tackle.

More than one million people a week are having conversations about suicide with the suicide machine

Was hoping to do a wee write up about each of these but lol my PC's not fixed and I've been super busy. Maybe in the new year I'll do that (likely with some additions), but here's a list of some games I played in 2025 that I thought were neat.

I think I’m seeing some new followers with the sharing of David’s Star Trek starter pack so I’d thought I’d say hi and elaborate on my bio a bit. For most TV shows there’s a Studio and Network/Platform associated. I work at a studio and currently cover the Star Treks (P+) and Murderbot (Apple).

For those who have just left twitter/X and are afraid for their financial security as they try to rebuild, I want to share my experience as it will hopefully provide a bit of comfort. Earlier this year I ran a Kickstarter. Bsky outperformed Twitter for backers by more than 3x.
