IN WHICH I tie the string from my STR-500 sampler to my wrist and play a duet with myself in the recent past

I just finished and absolutely loved North Continent Ribbon by @yarntheory.bsky.social. The fastest I’ve read a book in yonks. What a joy. Creative and dark and loving and hopeful all at once. Also with a beautiful cover by @treelet.bsky.social.

@yarntheory.bsky.social Hello! I am real.

Anyone got any tips for selling first edition books? I've got two first edition paperback Harry Potters in reasonable nick that I want to use to raise money for Mermaids.

Do you think unbending Clippy until he was a long piece of metal would be painful for him. Or do you think it would cause him to feel a great sense of relief

So, I've been meaning to make a thread about my current obsession: Narrative deduction games! ✨🔎📖 That's the term I'm using for games like Obra Dinn, Golden Idol, and Roottrees, where using story information is how you progress. Aka the best genre!

A PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE COSTS WHAT IN 2025?! Good grief, Starbucks.

Hey UK, my reality-bending mother-daughter-found-family-multiverse novel is on sale on Kobo. It's about being lost, trying to find the best version of you (literally), the mysteries of our parents, neuroparasites, murder and features two of my favourite characters I've ever written in Dom and Amber

The people who think you only learn from failure and that coaching is just about examining your own faults because there is no mental gain without mental pain are the same people that think AI will replace therapists.

PhD level intelligence …

@innes.bsky.social I seem to recall you are a vegetarian but can I tempt you to some forbidden blue meat?

Obviously …

The Shawshank Redemption. God I hate that film so much.

@xiotex.bsky.social ahhhh, if I had read my damned Bluesky I would have known you were at expo, Byron, and I would have hunted you down to say hello!

Oh my god. 291 pennies in my pocket and no freezer anywhere to be seen.

@gralefrit.bsky.social @willmac23.bsky.social hello! Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed Broken Veil. Thanks for making it. Scratched my Lovecraft Investigations itch very nicely.

I played the demo of this yesterday and it was great fun. Super smart, I really enjoyed it.

he’s right and he’s right to say it

I can't believe this. It's incredible.

This is what happens when your heart is so fetid, so broken that you cannot feel empathy any more. When cruelty becomes your only motivation. A truly poisonous human being. I’m deeply sorry for every book I bought or film I saw.

Rolled credits on Blue Prince. I’ve been playing it in every spare minute I have. How the fuck do you fit so many mysteries into a game? I thought Animal Well was dense and then this happened.

Updated my list of books I've read by people who don't look like me... medium.com/@moggy/scifi...

This is exactly what happens when you stop standing by your values and focus completely on trying to win. When your purpose is defined by and dependent on someone else, someone you really shouldn't be caring about at all.

Remember when I was on the radio today talking about robotic barista we’ve helped to get installed in an older folks’ supported living space? www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

This is the template, Democrats.

Walked past the British Heart Foundation in Durham today and my second published game was in the window …

Just Climbed the Giant Man with my daughter again, @terrycavanaghgames.com. Getting a coffee to the top seems impossible though, man.

If I was an arsehole billionaire with a really expensive AI that sometimes said shitty, incorrect and problematic things I'd want everyone to start thinking we didn't need fact checking or moderation too.

Rolled credits on Satisfactory last night. Only took two hundred hours.

@smestorp.bsky.social Facebook memories pays off for once. What a time that was.

Been looking at the instructions for the in-law’s thermostat which appears to be set at a permanent 25 degrees. The manufacturer has really committed to going above and beyond.

With all the AI bullshit, I'm re-upping this episode of the Brains on the Outside podcast where I asked @moggy.bsky.social and @andrewblance.bsky.social how to stop LLMs stealing writers' work and they came up with some brilliant and probably very doable solutions www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEjV...

Holy smokes, The Great Circle is incredibly. Good enough to make me wish I was still making video games.

Ages ago someone recommended Man and Witch - The Dance of a Thousand Steps on here. I have no recollection of who it was. We just watched it and well, what a great movie.

GQ's list of ten Best Christmas Jumpers You'd Actually Want to Wear is completely unhinged. Christmas jumper number one is this expensive, but nice Christmassy affair from Ralph Lauren.

“So what was invite-only Bluesky like?”

I was recently on the train back from London. Let me tell you a story about my journey. I was lucky enough to have a first class ticket and our tale begins as the train staff were just coming through to ask if anyone wanted dinner.

Just had a very very polite conversation with a Japanese knife lady about my global knives. With this box of knives right beside us.

@tobeconfirmed.bsky.social ❤️

Just remembered about High Frontier. There are complicated board game boards and then there is this.

@taras.net 👋

My favourite ever episode of Brains on the Outside is OUT TODAY! @andrewblance.bsky.social and I just fix the whole AI steals your work problem for @laurenbeukes.bsky.social. That’s right. We don’t need to worry about it any more. We solved it. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/b...

@markstubbs.bsky.social 👋

It's not the hope that kills you. It's the fact that half the population seems hell bent on choosing cruelty over kindness.

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

🧠 Today’s Brains on the Outside is an all time favourite. 🧻 It’s all about how you could move a gigantic bog roll around sustainably. 🤣 You can listen to me absolutely lose it in the ad break too. I actually cried with laughter while I was editing it. 🫛 Get it wherever you get your podcasts.

I have done a class ranking of bears: S - Pooh, Cocaine, Red Panda, the armoured bears from His Dark Materials A - Polar, Brown, Grizzly, Fozzie, SuperTed Mid - Sun, Rupert, Koala, Yogi, Baloo, Gummy, Djungelskog F - Paddington, Panda, Booboo, Bungle, all the Care Bears

One of my all time favourite episodes of Brains on the Outside went live today. Honestly, you should listen. It was a lot of fun to record. www.buzzsprout.com/1936679/epis...
