Thanks for the podcast shout-out, Joe xoxo

It's time for our annual Jaggies! We debrief the end of the #CelebrityTraitors, crown the best traitor ever and decide on *prrp* our quote of the season. IT'S JUST A GAME - find it in podcast land

I can't believe I'm saying this: Alan Carr is the best traitor of all time. #CelebrityTraitors

THE SCREAM I SCROME!!!!

Beat this

Had the interesting challenge of having to play just one song to communicate the overall concept of Radiohead to my Dad. What would you have chosen? Can it be done? Subsidiary info: he was a professional (classical) musician who grew up through Beatlemania. I'll tell you what I picked later...

Do you like boardgames? Card games? Roleplaying games? Party games? Do you have *questions* about them? BUT WHY VIKINGS? is my, @ava.foxfort.net & @giantbrain.co.uk's new podcast where we answer listeners' questions, dilemmas & big stumpers about all things tabletop open.spotify.com/show/02ctAw2...

Poddy's out! Catch up with the good good boys Rayan and Wilfred as we break down some more celebrity traitors thanks spotify.link/6i91nNZeLXb

So wait. Joe Wilkinson suspects David because David suspects Joe Marler because Joe Marler suspects Mark because Mark slapped a table.

Nice, for all you Laitors fans, Alan was among the last to breakfast. #CelebrityTraitors

@ivanbrett.bsky.social Hi Ivan, if you're a crossword person as well as a quiz person you might enjoy my Independent cryptic today puzzles.independent.co.uk/games/crypti...

Happy Hades 2 Day to all who celebrate. See you in a month!

Omg they heard!

AXS tickets website stop being a wanker challenge 2025

Radiohead tickets queue kicking me out for being a bot is such an insult. One window open, no VPN, no refreshes, nearly at the front of the queue. I'm so unreasonably upset!

I think this happens because while most words are made of one or two tokens, an emoji is four unicode characters and each one is a single token. So the model will get 3/4 of the way through spelling the seahorse emoji and then realise it can't finish? Can a nerd confirm? Either way, hilarious.

Last night, I went to sleep. Wait, let me rephrase that. Last night, I went to Sleep. Specifically, an eight-hour, overnight performance of Sleep by Max Richter. One of the strangest and best bits of performance I've ever seen. A thread?

Adrian, Re: the giant cous cous, How big are we talking? All best, Simon

Love this thread from the inimitable Benwell

oH no

I fear #DestinationX is reverting to type. Clues have returned to being obvious but also on the theme of 'is it one place or the other place'. All set dressing and no real context. Cheap cliffhanger feels desperate. Ugh, I'm frustrated

No neéd to scratch your screen again, that's just an acute accent. Sorry for worrying you.

Ok yeah we managed to almost pinpoint Episode 2 and it was much more satisfying. More like that, less like Ep 1 and we're good

Destination X is Masked Singer but for places. The clues are good in retrospect but so surrounded by intentional misdirection that it comes down to subscribing to one of three telegraphed theories and then just having it confirmed for the whole episode

So wait. The rulebook of this will be...a book to help you play a game about a book about a game about an alien fairytale? Cool.

Holy shit. This guy saved a PNG to a bird. (he drew a bird into a spectrogram, played that sound to a starling, and the starling reproduced it back to him with enough accuracy he got his bird drawing back in their call's spectrogram) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCQC...

Fucking HELL it worked!

Because without them he'd be squiwar woowar

Maybe it's the screen the guy uses in De Mol to tell you if you've been eliminated

Maz challenged me to write a core philosophy of the Havoc Engine, the machine that powers Eat the Reich and Havoc Brigade and Goat Crashers, and: it was hard to take myself seriously! But I've had a go. It's interesting to completely back a system and argue full blast in its favour.

An all-time great. Best FMV since 'Qui Est Oscar Lake?'

Got to step 3, now everything's too wet to continue.

Girl, are you a cathedral city on the banks of the river Wye? Because you look like you're here for d

I think it's time someone sat me down and told me what I'm doing wrong with Mario Kart

@kenchengceo.bsky.social you got an Extreme Ways edit

Twenty-four players means...FOUR TRIBES of six?

Gorbling with excitement about the upcoming #survivor50 cast reveal. The rumoured list looks...old...with a weird focus on David Vs Goliath and Survivor 46, but we'll see.

Obsessed that there were little nicks in the zebra tokens so you could've picked them all on your turn by feel! Incredibly cool secret revealed by @undeniablyalex.bsky.social on the Dealer's Room podcast. #geniusgame

Sorry, was I the last person to realise that there is an Edward Lear expanded universe??? And I'm not just talking about the runcibility of hats, cats, spoons etc. The poems all cross over!

Just in terms of dogs etc

A wild Rayan appears!

Zombie Game is a funny one because it's so weighted towards the humans. Zombies need to not try to win, like Amanfi, but to pick a winner, like Charlotte. It's a good game for building overall series narrative and alliances, but not one to try at home. #GeniusGame

Everyone hates 'the dumbing down of culture' until they're presented with something that asks for active engagement, at which point a nontrivial proportion of those people will recoil like Nosferatu from a sunbeam

Koreans aren't supernaturally intelligent, nor are Brits stupid. But South Korean TV expects more of its viewers and can consequently achieve a lot more. The results are amazing. We, on the other hand, are spoonfed and viewers of The Genius are upset at having to meet the show halfway #GeniusGame

Ok ok I loved it, the game was accessible (at least in terms of Genius Game main matches) and the twists and reveal of Scott's plan worked. But please...my kingdom for a flashforward #TheGenius

No greys in Round 3 made it super easy to call it and risk a complete. Great move from Bhasha, punishing Paul's hesitancy #GeniusGame

IT'S GYUL HAP!!! #GeniusGame

Ok so first thing, if you can build an alliance of three, you can assure nobody ever gets the ten #GeniusGame
