"I let my principles get in the way of things. I punched a bloke in the face once for saying Hawk the Slayer was rubbish." Channel 4 aired the first episode of 'Spaced' on this day in 1999.

@funranium.bsky.social Apologies if this is not of interest, but I did find it darkly fascinating - former drilling engineer looks at _that_ kind of Fracking... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rsu0...

Fine, if I can't buy #silksong at least I can shitpost about it!

We need a Gritty vs Mr Blobby kaiju fight.

Okay. The people have spoken. For every reskeet this gets, I will post a random picture from my camera roll with no explanation (other than alt text). Let the games begin.

Anyone have a fav youtuber they always feel delighted to see has a new video out? Looking to broaden my happy places.

Anyway, this is my standard for the anti-wind farm propaganda articles. If they haven't managed a mock-up photo of the horrors of the future view, with the wind turbine obscuring an ACTUAL OIL REFINERY they aren't trying hard enough. www.cheshire-live.co.uk/news/chester...

Steamworld Dig 2 might be one of the best metroidvanias ever, and at a simply silly 94% off, it's well worth grabbing. I'd recommend playing the first one, it's a much simpler and shorter game. store.steampowered.com/app/571310/S...

Took longer than I'd like to admit for such a simple script but I have dockerised my little bluesky image bot!

Ah, the downside of messing around with homelab server things :) #homelab

Some of y'all can't handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows

Are you a "i must clear each notification as it is received, as though it were my duty to god" neurodivergent? Or a "I collect notification icons like pokemon, and will never touch them" neurodivergent?

That was a bit more of a mission to get set up over here (the secret is the atproto text builder it turns out!) Fun learning experience though! I do promise to keep it once a day as I don't want to spam the hashtag.

Breaking the future, with Welsh :)

lmfao I just realized the actual file for the US-UK trade deal has "FINAL rev v2" at the end of the name like it's a high school group project written the night before it was due

Giant Bomb lives! Fandom has sold the site to us and it is now fully independent and employee-owned. We'll see you all on Tuesday for the Giant Bombcast. For more info right now, head over to www.giantbomb.com/join

Dreamt I was somehow on Game Changer and now I'm not entirely sure if the world isn't now some elaborate bit...

I don't know shit about Giant Bomb but I was shown this incredibly important piece by the @bghof.com gang and I feel like I really missed out on some quality goofs. youtu.be/hoQF9zWVsZk

Tonight is @taliesinevitel.bsky.social spaghetti night! 🍝

In response to the Polygon and Giant Bomb news, I created an indie and worker-owned games media starter pack. I’ll keep adding to it, so suggestions and recommendations are greatly appreciated. Please share!

Strip the walls down to rebar, suck the wells dry, massacre all the golden geese, burning out millions of people along the way - all in the name of profit. This is the logic of the present moment. It's all-pervading: from gamedev to healthcare, from education to agriculture.

Getting a job in games media seemed almost unattainable when I broke in back in 2005. In the years since, it’s become almost impossible and ultimately inadvisable. I can’t imagine trying to break in today. Independent is pretty much the only option now. Support your favorite creators directly.

Polygon and Giant Bomb people, drinks are on me at Summer Games Fest

Our four-part, two-hour-long series on Dwarf Fortress is now all on YouTube. Massive thanks to @bay12games.com, @kitfoxgames.com and the DF community for opening their doors to us over the past three years of filming. We hope you all enjoyed it. Series Playlist: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwLS...

This but extremely seriously. A huge part of my moral philosophy is that every person deserves basic dignity and human rights. No matter what. Doesn’t matter what. Justice for my loved ones, justice for people I despise because THEY ARE STILL PEOPLE.

No central algorithm is hard! I get it! I miss the algorithm! But the algorithm is what gave us fascism!! BE YOUR OWN ALGORITHM REPOST THE FUNNY REPLY TO FUNNY BE FUNNY Doom only creates doom and we do not need doom, we need SURVIVAL and survival REQUIRES FUNNY

My USA passport, my main proof of citizenship, doesn’t expire for three years. I live abroad and am also a British citizen. I’m going to send my USA passport for renewal this week, and if you’re in a similar situation, I think it may be worth considering.

I am back on my bullshit again!

I'm running the London Marathon 2025! It's only a month away now and I'm running in support of our wonderful museum @nvmuk.bsky.social ✨ It would be lovely if you could share and support! 🏃‍♀️

Time for the Spring Statement I guess!

Nice that the next time I make Spag Bol, I have the choice of the @taliesinevitel.bsky.social way or the horrors of the Amateur Chemistry way :)
