There’s only one way to find out if thin eyebrows suit me.

Just watched Children of Men for the first time.

GenAI is going to cost lives, again: "AI-generated videos have been clogging social media as Hurricane Melissa heads towards Jamaica, diverting attention from critical safety information about the storm."

Wrote a bit about a workshop I went to last weekend, lead by the Poetic Unity collective. halomedes.bearblog.dev/poetic-unity... They will be performing tomorrow at the Southbank Centre, as part of a free, poetry-focussed day organised by the National Poetry Library:

I wanted my friend and I to daytrip to Paris, enjoy a pastry and visit the beautiful grand mosque, but the funds would not stretch, so I've instead suggested a day trip to a bit of London new to us that has an equally stunning mosque and wonderful bakeries! Same travel time for both itineraries.

A song by Frou Frou played automatically and at first I was like, Caroline Polachek? And then I was like, Imogen Heap? Anyway I think their voice is a perfect blend of the two.

my friend qasam is crowdfunding for aid to gaza! please share or donate if you're able to www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

Books on the history of Palestine, including our free ebook From the River to the Sea, and our new releases Gaza: The Story of a Genocide, The Idea of Israel by Ilan Pappe, and Men in the Sun by Ghassan Kanafani

This’ll have to do until I find a shotgun.

The girls and I are enjoying the autumn sun ☀️ 🍂

Looking up whether there are any downsides to eating butter chicken every day.

Can’t figure out what’s more stressful for me: watching the live tracker of the aid flotillas approaching Gaza or not watching the live tracker.

🎃 SpookY2K is out now! 🎃 #SpooktoberVNJam You wake up on a cold bathroom floor, only to discover that you time travelled to a Halloween party in 1999! As you get closer to the other guests, will your clueless involvement let the party take a deadly turn? 🔪🩸 🦇 PLAY HERE: kigyo.itch.io/spooky2k

I don’t feel particularly British except for when certain British indie songs from the early 2000s/2010s start playing.

I'm presenting my @qgcon.bsky.social talk on "Contemporary Video Game Archaeology as Anticipatory Grief" at 2pm ET (7pm BST) today! Most of the talks, including this one, are being streamed live on Discord. Check out the schedule and more here: www.qgcon.org

The boycott works. Continue the boycott.

I’m learning how to reverse park into bays while teaching others a lesson in patience.

I found my car unlocked one morning. Totally intact, nothing was missing and, once I got over the shock, drove just fine. Can’t help but wonder if there simply isn’t a market anymore for compact and sturdy Toyotas from the early 2010 :/

the flotilla of humanitarians trying to bring aid to Gaza is being attacked in international waters www.youtube.com/shorts/cjw-h...

There's an hour left to help support a good cause and get some really rad games in the process!

You know I actually really liked Disney+ and Xbox Gamepass. But a boycott is a boycott. If you get to pick & choose the ones that don’t impact you, they don’t lose a real customer, and the boycott doesn’t work. If BDS says don’t watch Eurovision. Don’t watch it. bdsmovement.net/Guide-to-BDS...

Disney has been on the boycott priority targets list under BDS (boycotts in support for Palestinian liberation) for months. Check out the infographic below for other targets.

Tristan talks decolonization & cozy games. What does safety mean for the audience we're trying to reach? What mechanics, rewards, cultural touchstones, & character archetypes will we implement that will resonate with them? Questions to consider when thinking about your game. #GDoCExpo2025 #gamedev

It's the first #TurnBasedThursday that we can participate in and here's our little turn-based contribution, Sparrow Warfare, a bird-themed deck-builder: store.steampowered.com/app/3473440/...

Really useful thread - please do take a moment to read through it. Boycotting is an effective and easy way to support Palestinian liberation.

Silent Hill: Dream Academy

ah, a nice writeup of one of my favourite studies, the one about how disruption can lead to people discovering better alternatives www.londoncentric.media/p/london-und...

I wrote a piece for the Guardian games newsletter this week on my PhD research into preserving play experiences, and why I think that the most archaeological games are those that that actually make you *think* like one 🏺 www.theguardian.com/games/2025/s...

Oh!

Now if #rockstar included a K-pop radio station in GTA VI ?!?! Something to think about 😌

Ahhh! What a superb thread from our Lead Writer and Narrative Designer Len on all of the cool and key milestones of narrative design for #eyesofhellfire - seeing how everything came to be is such fascinating thing! #gamedev #indiegames #irish #ireland

staring off into space, shaking my head, mildly fuming and all I did was watch a documentary series about how a pop group was manufactured.

If you like Ouran High School Host Club, you will like this song. I will not elaborate.

We were in a Steam Daily Deal the other day and it's nice to see some new people and find out the game is still good :) Still 50% off!

People who can sing and act hold a lot of power! And London is the best city in the world! (Yes I did just watch Rachel Zegler perform Don’t Cry for me Argentina from outside the Palladium)

🚨 National March for Palestine - Stop Starving Gaza ⏰ Saturday 6 September, 12pm 📍 Central London (route TBC) Join us as we march again for Palestine in London. Our govt is feeling the pressure to end complicity in Israel's violence but we must keep pushing until they #StopArmingIsrael.

This made me think of Norco for some reason.

"I do not think that there’s a newer and better world that can be built with the knowledge of a genocidal campaign being carried out on a live stream... The world at large is seemingly fine with what we are witnessing, and I think that suggests the irreversible unwellness of a people, of a society."

A list of only the confirmed children massacred by Israel's pure evil and relentless genocide in Gaza. Many estimations are that the actual amount of adults and children murdered by Israel could be double, or even triple. They will likely remain unnamed. www.washingtonpost.com/world/intera...
