was it a hot pocket, it was a hot pocket wasn’t it
once again tapping the sign
Surely if you're a pervert then that is a sign of an active and creative imagination - an ideal qualification for a creative lead! Congratulations on really pissing the idiots off =8)
None, unfortunately, LOL
over the Labor Day weekend I got to referee/Game Master a game of @gmtgames.bsky.social CHURCHILL by @markherman54.bsky.social using the Training Scenario (3 Conferences) The Allies conquered Germany but were unable to meet the conditions for Japanese surrender. US ultimately emerged the winner
The castle that launched ten thousand hobbyists
This is on my list to watch. Is there anything I should watch before it, to provide context, etc? I lose track of what is in a "series" when it comes to anime, LOL

More train, FTR:
I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"
I initially went to "Tcho-Tcho", which is a whole different, and darker, ball-game lovecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Tcho-Tc...
Just woke up from a dream where I was Hammy from #OverTheHedge with a shadow-step ability, and I was trying to steal a potato owned by Noel Edmonds, who had it guarded by a spotty teenager, because it had a love-letter from him to J-Lo carved into it.
From what I saw they appeared later than the own-brand ones, last year. Though for my waistline, this is probably not a bad thing, LOL

Haven't read the details, but I'm expecting a lot of senior figures to be currently beginning their cut-and-run strategies.
Niiiiiice

Any Mr Kipling ones, though?

At least he didn't just dump it somewhere, though
It actually shut them up for about a week, LOL
i’m incredibly grateful we had so much time together, and so proud of how far you came from the terrified little soul i met 2 years ago. 💔
The kiddies who hung around the 7-11 once shouted "hell's angels" at us (not sure how that was supposed to be insulting). My mate turned around, went over and said "I'm not, but I know some hell's angels. If you'd like to meet them I can call and get them down here" Cue muttering and staring at feet

Finally persuaded my brain to allow me to post an update on my situation. I have updated the blog post detailing ways you can help me get through the next couple of months while the wheels of bureaucracy are slowly turning in the background: karohemd.dreamwidth.org/2368074.html Please reskeet.
Wanna see some cool minis?
You know what, fair play to Scooby Doo villains. They walk into a room dressed as a ghost, see a talking dog on its hind legs making the world’s biggest sandwich and somehow manage to stay in character.
As if I couldn’t love him more, Ncuti Gatwa trying to explain Ribena to his American co-star is the joy we all need in the world today. You’re welcome.
That's probably about as effective as the UK system
I have devised a foolproof age verification system to ensure that only older Australians can access social media sites. I have sent my invoice to the federal government. Thankyou for your attention to this matter

Ah, not quite the Danish flag, but the "geniuses" did this. Troo pay-tree-uts bsky.app/profile/dand...
Friend: What are the neighbours' names again? The couple next door? Me: Duncan and Angus. Friend: Not the dogs, the people. Me: Why would I know that?
"Danish flag" ^^
69% of you are really letting everyone down.
Actual #AI , not LLM slop. This is where the #technology is useful and where it _should_ be being concentrated on. No to draw a watermelon with tits, or to tell you that cockroaches can live in your knob www.scientificamerican.com/article/ai-s...
HA! Sir Michael Take has BunTY! And even his FACE has turned into a patriot (or possibly a roundabout, the jury is still out)! Compete with that!!! bsky.app/profile/sirm...
Judging by the Danish flash they managed to paint on one roundabout, I suspect that merely adding in an extra colour would completely befuddled them
theres something extra pleasing about turning nice cheese into cheese on toast
I remember getting to the hotel in the USA, asking where the nearest pub was, and then the baffled silence when I then asked how long it would take to walk there. Cue a muted conversation in the office behind reception, and they still had no idea
Right 💁😂
I can think of few franchises less suited to AI than transformers. The toys and designs based on them need a degree of precision, of intentional design choices, that AI just can't handle. Look at the gun on AI Cyclonus. It looks plugged into his ribs not held like a rifle.
Lot of GMs out there shooting themselves in the foot in pursuit of the ONE TRUE WAY (OTW). "I see how a screwdriver might be useful, but I can do it with a hammer." Worse yet, believing hammers are best for screws. There's no OTW to prep adventures. It depends on concept, system, situation, etc.

This could be a double-whammy with the new UK Online Stupidity Act. "Hey, do you want me to verify your age with this site to access the best deals?" [Proceeds to upload the user's life] And, of course, regular folks won't be savvy enough to follow the safety steps at the bottom
Just in case you're the kind of person who is happy to let AI do complex tasks for you, like finding cheap deals and paying for them without your interaction. www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...
Like when people claim that English colonialism was a positive thing....... It was.....for England. Noooot so much for everyone else
Niiiiiice, hahaha
Night night sweet dreamies Needing help for your mental wellbeing isn't a sign of weakness. It's the opposite. Taking care of yourself mentally is actually the strongest thing you can do.
what the hell, who does this?

UK peeps: there's another emergency alert test on Sunday (7 September) at 3pm. It will alert on all phones, even if they're switched to silent. If you have a phone that you need to keep hidden, make sure it's switched off beforehand. www.gov.uk/alerts/publi...

When I was playing wargames regularly, anything under 1.5 hours was "why bother?"
I hear "this is a shorter game" and my ears perk up thinking it could be something I could get played, then "it's only 3 hours", hahaha
And you have to enjoy getting hit in the face with a shovel. Repeatedly, LOL. Similarly with Age Of Steam. And I like that Caverna exists and is the other side of the Agricola coin, IMHO. That Agricola experience but less tight and brutal.
"Are you selling this here, because I need to buy this NOW". "Yes, over there" aaaand I was off, haha. I went back and found him the following year to thank him for introducing it with such enthusiasm and to tell him how much I loved it. Such a great game, but I can see why it isn't for everyone,LOL
It, along with Age Of Steam, and Twilight Imperium is one of my three joint-favourite games. When I had the new version demoed at UKGE I remember saying after a short while "thanks, I think we've seen enough" and the demo guy (who was a huge fan of it) looked a bit crestfallen until I said to him...
Always love me a bit of Agricola =8)
#BoardGames Night! Oh, glory be! We played two games of Agricola back to back! I'm as happy as a boar in a pasture. Also pictured: * Evergreen * Rune Rite, which I got to play as a game and not a playtest * Windmill Valley, in which I got decimated 207 to 99.
You should go to Andy's feed and see the delightfully silly entries this month, because we could all use some levity today.
Been making some bread today. The flour's half stoneground and half supermarket strong white.
And it's also rather amusing to find out what wargamers consider a "shorter" game length to be, hahaha.
Even though I probably won't play 95% of the games they talk about, I'm really enjoying @historytable.bsky.social . They talk about wargames in an accessible and engaging way, so even if you're just curious to have a look into the wargaming world, they're worth checking out. #boardgames #wargames
As mentioned in #64, a new wargame podcast, Cardboard Campaigns which is bring hosted by our good friends, Kevin and Don: open.spotify.com/show/3ctZ3BF... #wargames #boardgames #hexandcounter #consim
They should fear you!
This is scary as hell, but for news coverage? This is a GIFT. "You can be banned for *buying* Game of Thrones." Send emails to journalists and news sites and communities you're a part of and talk about the dangers here. People are going to care about this a lot more when it's not just creators.
Welcome to September The world is still a dumpster fire but with warm apple cider
linkedin is like if they made the banality of evil into a website
Oh....Scanners is good. Another one I need to rewatch, soon
My favorite first-watches of August 😌 (I watched Scanners as a kid but it had been so long, it was pretty much a first watch 🤣)
Depends on if I've got dip - 3 give a better scoop
Depends on the crisp, both size and type. Walker's/Golden Wonder type "regular" crisps, generally one at a time for that normal size, sometimes in handfuls for smaller fragments. Skips or Quavers, a handful. Pringles, a stack of 2 or 3.
For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen.
Ah, yes, everything that doesn't constantly have MEN eating raw steaks and constantly talking about manly things is woke. Nuanced characters....HA!
I can absolutely understand time-poverty, and it's definitely not meant to be a criticism of that. People who through poverty are driven down a spiral of eating unhealthy rubbish are a tragedy.
Yeah, it seems to be weird extremes of either fresh, quality ingredients, or UPF crap. They do seem to have some interesting herb and spice mixes but I also wonder if they're full of salt and sugar
Yeah, I used to work with someone who worked in H&S for years and he said that a lot of the "EU" H&S regs that a certain crowd whine about were.....UK H&S regs that we pushed up into EU law. You couldn't write this crap
Or a can of soup. I could understand if it was labelled as "quick and easy recipe for....." then you could understand that, but they're presented as actual cooking recipes where they can't even scratch-make a sauce. I normally open with the amount of faecal contamination they allow in their food
It's 1st of September, so... 👀🎃 Gotta start the season! #TTRPG #battlemaps #encountermap #DnDart #DnD
Oh, I thought it was PRIZES!!!

Morning folks. If you’re having a shitty Monday morning, just think…you could be the dad who just parked up outside ours, walked round the corner to the school with his kid in full uniform then came back 5 mins later having realised it’s an inset day.
I found this fanart on r/TombRaider last week & just had to highlight it here: Here's an incredible Lego diorama of the Venice level from Tomb Raider II by u/Baukplaus! Btw, would you like Tomb Raider Lego products? Physical merch, a video game, or Lego skins for Lara Croft in Fortnite?
Good to see "woke" in there, you could probably do with a "political correctness gone mad", too

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like.
We warned legislators and regulators this would happen. We showed them data on consumer non-compliance and the surge in VPNs and pirate sites. They knew this would happen didn’t care.
Brum folk, got any recommendations for plumbers?
Back to work after holiday, so could be good-er, LOL

Good Morning & welcome to marvellous marmalade Monday You must tell yourself, no matter how hard it is, or how hard it gets, I'm going to make it. You will ❤️
