Not beating the allegations that I'm reverting to my childhood.

The roughs for the print we made to promote the Dan Dare GN series at Thought Bubble. Dare is back in the first of a series of oversized graphic novels by @alexdecampi.bsky.social myself and @b7media.bsky.social. The Kickstarter launches in February 2026 - go here www.kickstarter.com/projects/798...

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made. Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

I spent ages trying to find/draw good enough placeholder images for my villain's different facial expressions, and somehow it only occurred to me today that I could just use emojis

I have no strong feelings about a single Zelda movie, but if there ends up being a Zelda movie *series*, they had better all be set thousands of years apart and connected only in loose and confusing ways.

This is bullshit. "absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground. "how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

I was a bit worried about the clickbaity headline but this is actually a very good and knowledgeable look at Dan Dare and his legacy—and goes into some of the reasons I was so interested in working on this book

New Dan Dare! I am VERY excited for this.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

business person: there should be a game where you can shoot zombies with shotgun people might buy that *experienced specialist team makes a hundred thousand decisions expertly about how to develop something compelling that fits those 2 criteria* business person: I did it everyone look what I made

Space Goblin Games is just me but I would never use genAI or work with anyone who uses it. And I know I'm not the only one who feels this way so I'm not going to assume any games studios use it unless I have reason to think they do.

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

I've just signed this petition to save modern languages at the University of Nottingham: c.org/WjsgXNLstG

I've only got to work with voice actors a handful of times but when I did it was such a great experience. Their interpretation made the dialogue come alive and sometimes their suggestions made the writing tighter.

okay, seriously: if we were to corral this, would anyone be interested in contributing? Here is the google form: forms.gle/m2V4j4cDvwNu...

She *delights* in being mean! Whereas I, an enlightened cyber-being, am mean without ever experiencing delight.

For me, interactive fiction is all about letting the player express themselves through their choices. For example, do you want to engage a giant alien cyborg on the moon in a gun fight, a sword fight, or a fist fight? #screenshotsaturday #interactivefiction

I think if I was this officer I'd be relieved not to have an official court ruling saying I'm a big baby who was injured by a sandwich hitting my body armour.

HEAD'S UP FELLOW #CREATIVES! If you haven't heard, #Grammarly is changing...and one change that doesn't pass the smell test is the incorporation of the ocean-boiling plagiarism machine that is #AI. 😒 I'm ditching Grammarly TONIGHT. #Writing #Writers #NoAI www.grammarly.com/blog/company...

That Zohran Mamdani speech had like half a dozen "wow, he really went there" moments.

read for filth by an alien from the 30s, smh

Also, all those movies where an American girl falls in love with the prince of an obscure European country take place the same alternative universe in which Europe is a patchwork of tiny monarchies

Yes (Prime) Minister and The West Wing

Academics in Assyria in the 7th c BC complain that admin is preventing them from doing research and teaching

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote: "To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace." No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula

New dev diary in which I talk about my progress this month, and a bit about what genre the game is and what genre it isn't. write.as/johnayliff/f...

[at unicorn fuck club] Elon Musk: [rising from bushes] eyyyy it'sa me, elon! JRR Tolkien: elon musk?! Tolkien: my word! I don't think we've ever had you at OUR campfire before! Tolkien: you're usually over there with that Tolkien: [grumbling] midnight society

The thing about being uncomfortable with strangers speaking foreign languages around you is, you shouldn't be listening to other people's conversations anyway, didn't your mum ever tell you that's rude?

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

It's a "war on drugs" until you're doing actual war crimes and then it's an antidrug campaign.

Got reminded of the Vancouver video game lore.

My earliest story I remember (I was 8 or 9) was "The Falcon", a sci-fi adventure about a little spaceship and its crew who saved the United Planets from evil aliens. The ship was called the Falcon because I didn't know what "Millennium" meant or how to spell it.

I just did this and it got rid of the stupid copilot button, yesss

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

RIP Drew Struzan

Maybe all US presidents should get a special Nobel Peace Prize if they can get through their whole term in office without bombing anyone.

Apparently teenagers these days aren't going to parties as much as they used to and have fewer friends, so I guess when I never went to parties and had no friends as a teenager I was just ahead of my time.

I'm catching up with Dan Schkade's Flash Gordon now right after reading all of Alex Raymond's 1930s-40s strips, and I'm impressed by how he's given the story its own modern identity while being faithful and respectful to the original. I'd love to see his take on Dan Dare!

I don't think we've had a new DAN DARE series in a while. We really ought to get on that — a MASTER AND COMMANDER meets MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM type joint maybe, could be a vibe

sci-fi has gotta bring back dudes riding pterodactyls, that was a whole vibe

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:
