Working in ancient codebases is often frustrating, but yesterday I did a TODO from 2007 and it was very satisfying. #gamedev

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies. I have translated some of the highlights

The prizes are set up for the annual family Sprout Bowling session.

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

Walked past Kate Winslet in a corridor at a school she was considering for her children.

What's the stupidest picture you own?

Our tree is up! This year the position of angel stand-in goes to WALL-E.

If the government does introduce a pro-generative AI copyright bill, I'd love a journalist to ask how much of the legislation was drafted by AI. When the answer is "none", press on why not. Make them admit that it's not reliable enough for anything actually important.

Browsing the Good Old Game section of the GOG store and discovering that the original Crysis is 18 years old 😨

My Christmas shopping is complete! This may be a personal best!

Classic D&D conversation from the party I'm DMing for: "Do we need a plan for tonight?" "We've never had a plan before!"

Day 2 total: 105. I was hoping to have a new photo of even more ducks in a bag, but we had to empty them out or the bag was too heavy to stay to the fridge.

I got home from a LAN party yesterday to find that my wife had numbered 125 tiny plastic ducks and hidden them round the house. She'd made a list and stuck it to the fridge so I could mark them off. I've found about 85 so far. She's tracking my progress so she can make a graph.

No, Google, I did not "sign up to use Gemini", I accidentally pressed the middle button at the bottom of the screen longer than usual. Get this non-consensual AI nonsense off my phone.

I've been playing some Serious Sam for the first time in a while, and I've been reminded that the moste terrifying sound in gaming is 20 voices getting gradually louder and going AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Not sure why this tickled me so much, but today I saw a guy in a Tesla t-shirt tanking up his Skoda.

Never has the term "AI slop" been more appropriate.

Object ID 0 in RuneScape (both versions) is the "Dwarf remains" from the Dwarf Cannon quest. Its Examine text is "The body of a Dwarf savaged by Goblins."

I'll just leave these here

Iron Within. Iron Without. #Nerdlings

"I mean, look at all these skulls and spikes. Frank is growing an extra arm that has a claw hand. Do you think we're the baddies?" Sons of Horus special edition!

HAHAAHHAHAAHHAAA Anthropic has posted two jobs, both paying $200K+. FOR WRITERS. (Looks like a policy/comms hybrid.) ANTHROPIC. IS WILLING TO PAY HALF A MILLION A YEAR. FOR WRITERS. Whatsamatter boys, can't your plagiarism machine make a compelling case for you? LOL. LMAO, even. #AI

Today in "sinister email subjects":

They mocked me for painting a (Necron proxy) Mummy holding a ball, but this was the unlikely moment when, having unexpectedly caught a bouncing ball on a 6+ roll, he succeeded in grinding forward 9 squares in the last 3 turns to score a last-minute equalizer. #BloodBowl

Mistakes were made. (This was a sevens game, so it's a foul by the entire opposition team...) #BloodBowl

I hope they all play the Cambridge Gambit.

Lychguard...er...sorry, *Wight* Blitzer for my Suspiciously Metallic Shambling Undead Blood Bowl team. "A weapon, ref? No, just a very sharp shield..."

This is where I'm posting from.

There is only one model in my collection that can match this theme! Ho! Ho! Ho! #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #FindFolkFriday

Is this actually going to browse the Internet or just make up webpages on the fly?

If a sausage is "food encased in an intestine", then eventually all food is a sausage.

Covid: is there anything it can't do?

More progress on the Suspiciously Metallic Shambling Undead team for Blood Bowl. 4 Zombie Linemen, ready to stumble slowly in the direction of the ball. #PaintingWarhammer #Nerdlings

Grr, another "please tick this box if you would like X", on a form which, it turns out, refuses to submit if the box is not ticked. Poor showing from myenergi.com

Always fun setting up a new server. Step one - disable password login. #gamedev

It's always fun knowing a few networking engineers, and discovering that the cause of yesterday's Vodafone outage was "they delisted their entire IP range from the Internet and disappeared from the global routing tables". I mean, wow.
