Interrupting hiatus to say that I really appreciate @wyrdscience.bsky.social @johnpower.bsky.social Sure, you can google games articles, but the very act of curation is one of love. And to have such a publication available is special! Gives me the same feelings as Under the Radar from college days

@timclare.bsky.social 👋 hi! I played my first couple of games of Joraku last night after getting hold of it off the back of seeing your YouTube video. I love it! So just wanted to say thanks

Urg! Affinity Designer and Publisher are both really great and the reason I like them is that they just let me get on with doing the job at hand, run decently fast and have fewer bugs than the competion. Can't emphasise enough how much I don't want "a shift in how creative freedom is defined"

On the off chance: Does anybody have these two Dorothy L. Sayers books *in these editions* and are willing to part with them for money? I'm finding it impossible to get my eager hands on them.

Batteries got really good and solar power got cheap.

Lol, no. Also, interesting choice to illustrate this piece with a picture of a traffic clogged Parisan roundabout.

This is a remarkable image! The top commenter on the linkedin post exclaims "Amazing picture showcasing the impact we can make and what role technology can play 🎉👏" oblivious to the irony.
