I was thinking recently what kind of games you could set on the Discworld - but now, all I want is something like THIS set in the Unseen University.

There's an option to "Roast someone" here, but I prefer to think of it as "Telle someone off."

If you were a video game character, what would your health pickup be? ...I'd probably only have one Hit Point, so the question is a tad redundant, but if I DID have a chance to heal there's only really one option:

Social media sites don't even let you post any more, they just look at you like this:

Christopher Nolan must be kicking himself at having missed out on such a free publicity stunt.

Me, when the BBC has a ton of Jane Austen adaptations available but only until the end of May (so I can't watch them all next month and call it "June Austen"):

Alfred Molina as an octopus... Someone give that casting director a medal.

Wild London is absolutely delightful, although the gull attempting to murder a pigeon by drowning it in the Serpentine was a bit of a surprise…

Wishing all my fellow voters a very happy election day.

Same here, Old Rabbit ... same here.

I would wish my fellow Star Wars fans a happy May 4th, but ... well, I'm too annoyed that Vader and Maul had a fight and neither of them mentioned their previous encounter.

Without him, Star Wars Day would be just another day on the calendar. Thank you, John Williams. #filmsky #moviesky #musicsky #starwarsday #maythe4th

I'm just saying, if we can have Top Gun Maverick, we can have Hot Shots Topper.

If THE NAKED GUN is a success, maybe we'll get HOT SHOTS - TOPPER made.

turned a kid onto Pratchett by explaining that basically he is doing exactly what you watch stand up comic s for- observational humour about the world you live in based ona wholly outlandish series of circumstances being told to you via a compelling story

It’s Terry Pratchett Day! My favourite author, who gave me an escape when I needed it, inspired me to be a better person, and taught me the value of truth, justice, freedom, reasonably priced love, and a hard boiled egg. “When in doubt, choose to live.” 📚💙 #TerryPratchettDay

Today is Sir Terry Pratchett's birthday. By far one of the best authors of my generation. “A man is not dead while his name is still spoken.” So, may his name echo eternally through the clacks. GNUTerryPratchett

Happy birthday, Dad. Wish you were here. You’d know what to do. Or at least you’d know what to write. ❤️

As it’s SHAKESPEARE’s birthday — he was born 462yrs ago today — here’s my favourite SONNET (116) performed by the great JUDI DENCH.

Hi, I started this fundraiser, Pet Deposit for Star's Safety, on GoFundMe and it would mean a lot to me if you’d be able to share or donate to it. gofund.me/8d3a53b8f

What NICHE IP do you want to write for? Most of my favourite choices are probably a bit too big to be 'niche' (Discworld, Hitchhiker's Guide, Vorkosigan Saga, Life Is Strange) ... perhaps the TV show Pushing Daisies? Failing that, someone has to make a third G-Police game; that could be me, right?

anyway, they should remake Mass Effect as a tactical isometric RPG with the plot and setting rewritten to, uh, make sense and be good

if Tim Curry had only blessed us with this speech it would have been enough, but he has given us so much more

Watching Zootopia 2 and the Alien parody being Platypus is sending me to the moon

Me, whenever I see someone mentioning a 200-year-old novel I love on social media:

How can I best recommend the TV show Paradise to people without spoiling anything about it...? It's the kind of show that has a lovely piece of theme music, and plays it numerous times over emotional scenes - some of which even succeeded in making my dusty old heart feel things.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

This is where I skeet from

If you want an additional incentive, I've just put up reviews of the first of Big Finish's adaptations of Virgin's Bernice Summerfield novels, Oh No It Isn't! and Beyond the Sun, which can be read by anyone who signs up as a Ko-fi member or donates.

This week, it's a novel that's definitely in my Top 2 favourite Lance Parkin books from 1998, as we get one last hurrah for the Dellah/St Oscar's era NAs before everything changes. It's Beige Planet Mars. dalesramblingsblog.wordpress.com/2026/04/08/v...

Well, this was fun. I've lost two weeks of work in the hospital. If anyone can help until I get back on track, I would greatly appreciate it. I can accept donations via Venmo: @divineeliza

I’m reading War and Peace, and you know, probably a lot more people would read it if they knew just how extremely cunty the dialogue is

This is the future that feminists want for us.

two of the hardest things ever written are "face god and walk backwards into hell" and "you cannot kill me in a way that matters" one of them came from a tumblr shitpost and the other one came from a dril tweet about hollering at zoo animals the internet truly is a magical place

I try to watch a range of movies every month, usually to mixed results - but looking back, I think this month might have been one of the best I've ever had.

HAPPY TRANS DAY OF VISIBILITY! It's never too late. I transitioned at 44 years old. You deserve happiness. You deserve to love yourself. I have never felt better in my life than right now. For anyone planning to give to trans people today, I am stable and secure. Spread that love to others in need.

Well, at least this USA travel brochure isn't sugar coating things.

I think I might've already joked about how they would get along based solely on their having each died so many times ... but now that they both share memories from multiple timelines too? Yeah, Rory Williams and Chloe Price would be best mates.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

This was true for many years before I watched THE Mass Effect 3 video, and it's been especially true ever since. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPbB...
