A collection of epigraphs published in a book is called an epitome.

Anyway if you like knowledge and deduction games may I point you towards KINOPHOBIA, my exorcist-detective game about ghosts, movies, and movie stars that are ghosts? brunodias.itch.io/kinophobia

No more fantasy worlds where the magic and wonder is going away. I want fantasy worlds that are getting more magical and wondrous every day. I want to see the elves coming back from the West just to get a taste of all this wonder.

Rewatching some old Poirots. 'One, Two, Buckle My Shoe' has prompted two realisations. First, that you could remove the death scenes with the spooky effects and the ironic nursery rhymes and the episode wouldn't suffer at all.

It's cool when a game's save feature involves the characters making notes about their progress, reporting to an outside party, or something like that. The story's only set when it's recorded, and if you died, you didn't get to record it, so you just go back a few paragraphs and try again!

Sometimes, I like to share a hot take on a cold topic. For instance, I disapprove of caricaturists who combine a realistic style with grotesquely exaggerated features. If you can't caricature someone with only slight exaggeration, or capture a recognisable likeness in a cartoonish style, get out!

After a particularly physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting few months, we managed to get away for a weekend and see some nature. We saw horses, cows, sheep, alpacas, kangaroos, rabbits, lizards, ducks, ravens, ibises, galahs, cockatoos, magpies, bees, and some critters I didn't recognise.

Do you think other sports resent baseball for having a popular cap named after it?

I would like to get this account to a thousand followers by the end of the year. That feels like a level where I'd have comparable reach to the 6k I had when I left Twitter Follow me for indie game marketing and business, and honestly, sexy rat talk

This is probably going to sound ridiculous, but god I hate memes these days. There used to be a lot of memes that were just harmless fun - talking animals and such. Now they're all far-right stereotypes.

She Harding Administration my Teapot Dome until I subpoena powers over tax records granted to Congress.

Did you know that Love Island Australia is the only Love Island that is also a Love Continent?

There's a very wise and worthy post on Tumblr about coercive systems of division and control, and I'm not here to criticise, but this is the first line and I can't tell you how seen I felt reading it until I saw it didn't end at the word 'person' and thus wasn't saying what I thought it was saying.

'You can't rock and roll all night *and* party every day!' Eight hours rock and rolling, eight hours partying, eight hours rest. Just as those who fought for our labour rights intended.

A blåhaj with a greasepaint moustache and a big cigar; call that Groucho Sharx.

Hello, 'Owen'. I want to play a game. In ten minutes, the machine in front of you will break all of your bones with big hammers and set fire to your eyes. You can leave at any time, if you can just admit that you're trans, you idiot. There is still time - for now. The clock is ticking...

If I had a nickel for every time a Taskmaster S20 contestant made a surprisingly good brushless painting of a vampire surrounded by bats, etc.

'Show, don't tell' is an important principle when writing. For instance, instead of having a character say their name is John Hunter, they should be shown shooting a deer while sitting on the toilet.

Catching up on the new Kill James Bond. James Fox appears. 'No relation to Laurence Fox, I hope.' My heart dropped. I'm so sorry, Abi. We all have to live in this world.

Househunters on Escape to the Country used to all want to run donkey sanctuaries. Now they all want to rent out glamping pods. Donkerys are the real victims of the englampification of society.

Getting a lot of negative feedback on my murder clown-themed roller derby alter ego 'Gone Jane Racy'.

Doing some @jackbern.bsky.social style stats for Taskmaster of the Bazaar.

(party DJ voice) OK everyone in the house wearing jeans - start working those zippers! (an extremely confusing mix entirely of zipper noises starts playing)

*Modestly Hot Homsar voice* AAAaaaaAAAaaa, I'm forever who I'm supposed to be!

Both Cream and The Jam were going to reunite for gigs in Devon and Cornwall this year, but the venues couldn't agree about who should go on first.

Years ago, I read an article - I think it was on The Straight Dope - about the habit of tapping a cigarette before lighting it. Apparently, it was quite common for many years, but few could agree on the right way to do it, or the reason why.

DID YOU KNOW: It's only a gargoyle if sparking wine drains through its mouth; otherwise, it's just Champa- no, wait, hang on.

It's called an emergency because when you hear one happening outside you emerge and see what's going on.

The right's refusal to compromise has once again driven me further left. If the right can't agree to settle for a bipartisan compromise that meets my needs, I expect this trend to continue.

It's fine to leave a hotdog in a car. Nothing bad could possibly happen if you leave a hotdog in a car.

There's a shadow man in my bathroom and he's trying to eat my electricity!

(holds you at gun) 'Your ass has been writing cheques your butt can't cash..' (cock) 'and I'm callin them in'

'Gen Z think Millennials are cringe!' Why would I care about a child's opinion.

My story with 7,777 words has 7 comments and my story with 1,1011 words has 11 comments. This pleases me.

Who else up gang aft agley?

(To the tune of 'Tom's Diner') You are GOing to ReSEda where you'll MAKE love to a model / from OHIo whose real name is something that you don't know

New story's done! It's about Fallen London and Taskmaster. It has rats, poetry, and rat poetry. There's anachronistic music hall and German Expressionism. At one point, a bishop damages a sideboard. You can read it here. archiveofourown.org/works/68177421

CHOTINER: Do you even know who I am, and why people are talking about me? ME: Well, you're always doing interviews, so... I assume you're a journalist? Or maybe work in HR. CHOTINER: What do I look like. What colour are my eyes. ME: ...trick question - no colour. CHOTINER: Incorrect.

This Is The Sea is a bewildering creation. You hear The Whole of the Moon and think 'wow, what an incredible song' and then you listen to the album and it's just all like that. It's like someone actually figured out how to make the whole plane out of the indestructible black box.

A new restaurant near me advertises their New York-style pizza, and, while it is quite good, I think there will always be part of me that sees that and starts hollering 'New York, baby! Da Big Apple! Only city in the world where you can buy a coffee and a sandwich in the same store!'

When engaging with an established work (writing fanfiction), you have to grapple with unanswered questions (whether or not Ferret is from Yorkshire), make your own creative decisions (make Ferret be from Yorkshire), and accept the consequences (hope no-one minds you made Ferret be from Yorkshire.)

Absolutely baffled to discover that there are people, plural, who claim to have watched Taskmaster and routinely entirely skipped the prize task - to the point of not knowing there were prizes involved - because the thought the first fifth of the show was 'interviews'.

My only exposure to Hollow Knight is that a New Vegas blog that I liked pivoted to Hollow Knight content - with a full redesign and name change - and then shut down.

Y'know, I've gotta give J. R. R. Tolkien credit for creating fantasy creatures based on stereotypical white people. True ally behaviour.

There's a scene in The Amateur Cracksman where Raffles is being held at gunpoint by a South African diamond millionaire, but manages to escape by suggesting that his bodyguard had let slip he was an Illicit Diamond Buyer and then leaping out the window in the subsequent confusion and upset.

I sometimes think about dyeing my hair some interesting colour, but if I liked it, I'd have to redye it when it grows out (far too quick, happens in practically the blink of an eye), and if I didn't like it, I'd have to wait for it to grow out (far too slow, I'd be dead before it's done).

Casual reminder that, in Fallen London, you can let your finishing school class do a kink scene, only for them to annoy your boss by getting bogged down in bondage discourse. (She said we need to exercise restraint, but that's exactly what we were *trying* to do...)

Don't get your hopes up, people. We've been here before. His followers will revive him with the blood of a slaughtered virgin, same as last time.

If this antivirus really cared about the seven problems it found on my computer, it would fix them for me without asking me to subscribe for twelve months, with or without the discount.

'You're low on HP! You should drink a potion!' But if I use my action drinking a potion, I won't be able to hit the enemy this turn, so they'll still be alive, so they'll hit me and take away all the HP the potion gave me! Anyway, that's why they threw me out of the Adventurer's Guild.
