Ooookaaaaaaaaayy finally taking the time to kill the ol' hellsite account. Anyone got a tool they recommend for moving across from Twitter properly? Follows, etc?

Reverse dungeon crawls are good actually. CANDLE is one. Escape or die trying. https://loottheroom.itch.io/candle

For many years I lived in an apartment without aircon. My list of places I could go to escape the heat in metro Melbourne

A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacists websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

It's that weird time between Christmas and New Year and I have 2kgs of marinated goat cheese.

simply loathe how machine learning & LLM-based generative "AI" have not just been conflated in the public consciousness, but how the latter subsumes the former to an extent where it feels like we're losing ground on useful ML by shoehorning a fucken plagerism chatbot into every goddamn thing.

Our PAX panel on gamemaster tips was a blast. Brian set up a brilliant framework about the moments when you felt your GMing tangibly improved. Mine sure did sharing time with @bwholland.bsky.social @vlxcat.bsky.social & @dailydael.bsky.social - such a brilliant trio. Level up acquired!

Take your Game Master skills to the next level as our panel of expert GMs share with you the tips and tricks to writing #TTRPG scenarios, running games, and making your game the best it can be! From #PAXAUS 2025.

More piccies from Malaysia, Ipoh is stunning and the X-M5 continues to be an utterly delightful lil camera to use.

Did you know that you can get all of my Wretched & Alone games in one bundle for just £30? Now you do. itch.io/s/159400/wre...

Someone in tonight's psych lecture asked if classical conditioning was the Pavlov and his dog thing and I said "ding ding that's right" because I have zero self control.

We had fun at #PAXAUS last month, with a fun-filled night of the world's best roleplaying game of mystery and horror! Our Stream of Chaos team played #CallOfCthulhu with special guest, BAFTA-nominated voice actor @ameliatyler.bsky.social (#BaldursGate).

Listen I am of the opinion that the best movies are 90 minutes long and 3 hours is frankly unnecessary HOWEVER there are two exceptions: every Lord of the Rings, and RRR. I for one can't wait for whatever the hell this is gonna be.

When I say this happens as soon as I sit down I mean IMMEDIATELY.

I miss written how-to guides, blogs, instructions with pictures. My kingdom to never have to pause scrub play pause scrub play pause scrub play pause scrub play pause scrub play a video again.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... "A key question was how such laws would be able to differentiate between a cult and legitimate religious groups." ...I'm sorry but if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck... it might just be a cult.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

I briefly went to Malaysia right after PAX Aus for a friend's wedding and managed to cram so much amazing food into what was essentially a long weekend. Gonna be thinking about..all of this... for a while.

I'm sorry but Da Pope heckling Cubs fans is objectively funny.

heyyy everyone! it's my first ever #hauntalong entry, and it's indigenous peoples day, so we're gonna talk about PREY (2022), the coolest movie in the predator franchise

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Rebuilding website content at work for the last month has reminded me that doing a bunch of close reading and editing in the office for 8 hours makes it really hard to go home and do MORE close reading and editing. My reservoir for that thing is straight up empty.

PAX. Soon.

My cat woke me up this morning by sneezing directly into my face at 5am. Truly awful, 0 stars do not recommend.

I started watching this crew a couple of years ago, watching them play COC and Pendragon and really enjoying their chemistry. They are a group of players with Dave usually but not always the gamemaster who really seem to enjoy each other's play. You can't manufacture that.

I watch these guys all the time while drawing or on the treadmill and they're always a good time. Check out their playthrough of The Two-Headed Serpent especially

Thank YOU to everyone at Chaosium, it was a pleasure and a privilege 🖤

There are few crews in the new form of actual play that can boast an unbroken run of six years! But with this week’s concluding episode of Pendragon - The Sword Tournament, our award-winning Stream of Chaos team - James, Dave, Alex, Art and Jackson are taking a bow (for now)...

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

"Forgive me for excessive anthropomorphism, but we live in a natural world that, rightfully, flinches from human touch. Pigeons are one of the few creatures that don’t. And for that, we punish them." #pigeons

Caught "Weapons" this week and Zach Cregger does a super impressive thing in both this and "Barbarian" where he delivers a disrupted, nonlinear narrative through multiple perspectives (an incredible tension management device) without fucking up immersion.

Slightly in shock to see my Call of Cthulhu scenario Resort nominated for two ARPIA awards! 🎉 Resort is up for Best Scenario and Best PDF Only Product. Also a delight to be nominated alongside friends. www.arpia.org/arpia-2025-s...

How good are gigs, though. Ocean Grove - Melbourne 2025, Fuji X-M5.

Tonight, all of Australia said "sit down boofhead".

No way Get fucked Fuck off 🙂

Jim Chalmers wrote his doctoral thesis on Keating and you know I just think that's beautiful.

Lambie talks like an auctioneer 🤣 really fast, no tonal variance... all I picked up was "that GODdamn stadium!"

NO WAY GET FUCKED FUCK OFF

Quick snap from work, and one from home. After seeing me take the pic at the river, some dude stopped walking, doubled back, got out his phone, and took a photo of it too. Hell yeah brother, that IS a nice sunset.

Wonder how many stories of folklore creatures are directly attributable to weird trees and sub-optimal eyesight prior to widespread adoption of corrective lenses. Brought to you by me and the Very Very Big Lad that was actually a paperback gum.

What's the bet he actually died a couple of days ago but they couldn't announce it because... y'know...

An accessible school-based apprenticeship at 16 would have changed my life. As an undiagnosed ADHD nightmare teen who needed variety like oxygen, I spent those last two years of highschool quietly drowning. It's like we maybe just let life... slip, in a bunch of ways. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...
