The Nice Guys.

Is there a reason I ask that the Times are using a picture of asylum seekers in a boat to describe rules for migrants who came on legal routes such as skilled worker visas for doctors?

Oh drat, it's clipped off Joel Fry, who's one of my favourites in Our Flag Means Death.

The amount of people who’ve told me ”Big Snake is perfect casting for you!” is worryingly high. But also: the cast list for Earth Must Die is incredible. Happy to be slithering with them.

Is the fact that moderation is automatically triggered by a specific series of words worrisome? Of course. But everyone’s stress levels are high enough that it seems like people really think BlueSky is identifying antifa super soldiers or whatever, like chill out!

BlueSky’s moderation is transphobic and racist, don’t get me wrong, but the “misleading” tag is being automatically put on any post that includes the copied-and-pasted fake “antifa warning” that people are using as a joke. It’s really annoying to see people take that seriously, like c’mon.

Just wrapped recording sessions for our next game, which features more audio and more actors than anything we've done before. In general, I love audio work (and radio plays!) but I've always struggled with it interacts with the player's focus and the pace of gameplay. ... but then we had an idea

Age yourself with a film you saw in the cinema as a kid. Probably this one in 1970, or Bedknobs and Broomsticks the following year.

Flash Dances With Wolves.

Nozzo! Fanart!

Fights in Tight Spaces' new K9 DLC adds a dog companion that assists players on missions. Among its many abilities is the "Pet" function, which boosts the damage of the dog's next attack.

Disabled people can’t “just move” to escape fascism. Moving requires resources, money and health that most of us don’t have. Many countries won’t accept disabled people, especially if they have universal healthcare. People are trapped, so we must fight for them.

ITV's drama #TheHack is a must-watch. A great series about the brilliant investigative journalist NickDavies' exposure of the phone hacking scandal. @sussexbylines.co.uk featured him in the first Defenders of Democracy series sussexbylines.co.uk/politics/dem...

We deffo have solid bg and font options. I'll look at adding a slider for font size tomorrow :)

Nigel Farage & Alex Phillips have been awfully quiet about Nathan Gill pleading guilty to eight counts of bribery relating to pro-Russia statements made in European parliament and articles. Just wanted to refresh their memories about how they were all a team through that period.

I like my car! I even like driving it. But I would also like to not have to drive it everywhere, and also I would like to be able to ride a bike without fearing for my life.

Every time you say “we should improve transit infrastructure somewhat” you get people like this arguing as if we’re taking their cars away by force.

Working illegally isn’t an immigration issue. It’s a taxation issue. Some immigrants work ‘illegally’, but there are also a lot of UK citizens working ‘cash in hand’ jobs & not paying taxes, ie, illegally. And about those billionaires…. As an immigrant, I’ve never felt so unsafe in 30 years
