On today’s episode of AOH, Dr. @alexvandewalle.bsky.social, a postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University, discusses his research on the characterization of mythological figures in video games, the evolution of classical reception in games & its growing legitimacy as a field of study.

(I would be cautious about shocking, priors-validating claims of rampant behavior made by a single Substack that is repeating allegations from an activist organization apparently consisting of one person!)

This is Hippo. He's visiting Scotland for the first time. Had no idea they made squeaky toys for humans too. 14/10 (TT: kelseydarragh)

Had a great chat with Montreal's Unreliable Narrators about The Caribou Trail, their new narrative game about the Newfoundland Regiment during the Gallipoli Campaign of WWI.

I do not know why, or when, but a baked potato appeared on my car today. Forcefully, it would seem.

I have now lived in the British countryside for most of my five decades on earth, within which time I have come to know it well. I thought, for newcomers to the place, I'd write a short guide to some of its more interesting aspects. You will find them in this thread. 1. EXCITING VILLAGE EVENTS.

I picked up used copies of the first two volumes of "A Man & His Cat". I am reading them for the third time in as many days, and they still make me emotional. Apparently, cat themed slice of life manga is my jam.

Sometimes when I’m writing a book and being harsh with myself I’ll be like “You can’t mention owls in this one, you mentioned owls in quite a few of the others” but then I’ll be like “Who are you to tell me what to do? I’m the one who makes the rules here. Fuck you. I’m mentioning the owls.”

How are these so adorable
