I put every single writer (including you and Ben Gelinas) in a specific credits section on the very front page of the lore wiki, to ensure we all got credits when we left. And raised it internally before I left, made sure Those Who Remained knew about it. Even have a screenshot of it!
Huge change to Mobygames - you can now comment on any credits you've received. Very handy if e.g. you gave your blood, sweat and tears for years, then only got a 'thanks'... (No, you're bitter.) Only for claimed profiles, not sure if requires sub. e.g. www.mobygames.com/person/61849...
Huh, that's the first time I've seen someone's cause of death listed as... death.
Though I was apparently on the BBC News for about a second because I was sat beneath a shrine to Modrić yesterday…
Heyyyy that’s not Plato’s Atlantis shtick! You’re doing biased *storytelling* to push your moral case… to be fair, Plato would probably approve.
Slightly proud of my Rude Raiders rhino and Forgefiend. Think I’m just going to go full on graffiti with my chaos boys.
Perils of a colourblind cook. Does this broccoli look normal? It looks weirdly bright to me, which makes me worry it’s not actually green…
I know very little about what Wes "Mumsnet Zippy" Streeting believes (beyond his anti-trans stance and that he's owned by private healthcare interests...) but I do know he reminds me physically of Peter Creedy.
Holy crap. Forget ‘build a better mousetrap.’ Someone designed a (fantastically simple) self-inflating whoopee cushion. I am now optimistic for the 21st century.
Asking an AI trained only on data up to the 1930s (hence copyright-free I assume) about the prospects for AIs in the future... talkie-lm.com/chat
Currently running at very positive - 90% on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2678080/... So pleased for them, one of the loveliest, kindest teams I've ever worked with. (Especially, ledrien.bsky.social, who made En Garde, who stepped up as Game Director!)
-and thought as my body got all prickly all over, “this is a dumb way to die”. But I didn’t! (I don’t think.) And the boy got his boat back! And I feel like a hero! SoI rewarded myself with a lovely eggnog-ice-cream coffee or two and did some work. How was your day? Xx Gril
-and he said “oh”, so very sadly, his chin moving chestwards, “oh, my son‘s boat, the battery died. It is out there-” and pointed. Way out on the waves was bobbing a little remote control boat, so I turned around, went back into the freezing water to get it-
Went for a swim in the Schliersee today. 11° and lasted about 30 seconds before my feet and hands went numb. As I stumbled out, a very serious German glasses-beard in a bright orange suit came over to me and barked “Are you going back in?” I assumed that he was going to tell me off, so I said “no”-
Oh, what a book that was! Felt like the Cambridge Latin Course, but with dinosaurs. That cover image! (I only just realised there was a series of books! Mind blown.)
The ultimate power fantasy. You are... Donkey! Romancer of dragons! Friend of Shrek! Parent to frankly disturbing donkey-dragon hybrids!
Yes, I had to use it to post this. If you win, you get to use social media for a bit and a link to: archive.is/2026.03.28-1...
Bwahaha. Opal (an excellent focus app) has updated the minigames you need to complete to use social media, etc… Alt-text: “Mark Zuckerberg’s decapitated head flapping wildly to avoid lawsuits.”
