BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.
Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
A bold graphic design of a wolf in red and white on a black t shirt. The Wolf is holding an arm tattooed with a snake that it has apparently just bitten off of someone. The t shirt could do with an iron.
My 'Hand That Feeds' shirt from @wolfskulljack.bsky.social has arrived! I've enjoyed her epic artwork at Cheltenham Paint Festival over the years, now I can wear some! I have ME, so having some proceeds support the ME association is really cool.
I will be wearing this to DM D&D this evening!

If you accidentally order a small sized loaf of bread, you get to make really tiny cheese toasties. ❤️
I am a technical writer as my day job. On my weekends, I write RPG nonsense. Here is a post about good technical writing from non-RPG sources that I draw on inspiration from: riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2025/07/info...
I want to get into a #grandstrategy game again but I'm not sure what appeals. It doesn't help that I had a dream about a really good one that doesn't exist in reality. 🤣
Oooh, that's good to know, thank you!
Oh no, new Palanite Enforcers for Necromunda and a new Tyranid Combat Patrol, probably out right before my birthday. I guess I need to get painting again.
Is this film that should get me to go back to this Cinema?
I assume it's a Shell garage?

Planning to do some DMing for the first time in a while, and my first time for 5e DnD. Turning to @alexandrian.bsky.social for wisdom. 😊
I sold my copies of Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader at the bring and buy this year! They helped fund my purchases!
A month ago I was at #UKGE having an awesome time and today I have been at home melting in my chair. I miss UKGE.
At least it's meant to be back under 30° again tomorrow.

Look at this little guy! A yellow mongoose at #CotswoldWildlifePark.
I didn't take many photos as I didn't take my DSLR, but still had a great walk around with @chrismeekings.bsky.social.
Ice cream, four bintarongs, a red panda, good weather, only a small amount of sunburn, 5/5 will do again.

Windows Notepad has a co-pilot button, nothing is sacred anymore
I caved and bought the bundle, only for the Wartales key to be currently out of stock. 🙄 Digital only gaming is generally great and occasionally really, really silly.
Beginning to wonder if reading about chess openings will fix the lack of sleep.
Apparently 3am is not sleep time for me tonight. Boo. 😔
Curse you Humble bundle, forcing me to buy games by assembling several games from my wishlist in one bundle. *shakes fist at sky*

I think we may have played Spirit Island 6 at my stag weekend. A social event known for only involving wise life choices.
Best guess, sympathy with @lunawol.bsky.social and her misbehaving knee. Otherwise, I don't know, moving a duvet while unfit, I guess? Unless I did something at the weekend and finished it off overnight.
I need to get back in the habit of miniature painting, and be less critical of my results.
In other news I injured my knee sleeping safely in my bed. 😋

My mission for UKGE today, collect gunpla for @angrypants.bsky.social. I assembled it backwards but got there in the end!
Also on our table was @roguehobbies.bsky.social, clipping plastic and being bemused by someone online claiming an AI image was their painted mini. 😁
I think I like gunpla now.
My one boardgame wishlist for UKGE was John Company, and not only is it now mine, but signed by the very kind @colewehrle.bsky.social and Ricky Royal. This means I am honour bound to learn the solo mode.
I also got to speak to @miasmacorp.bsky.social about Molly House, so that's my next wishlist!
Picked up Heart and Spire at UKGE with the bonus of buying them from @gshowitt.bsky.social. We had a brief pause while he stopped to assist an apologetic @itsquinns.bsky.social. If I'm going to be delayed 30 seconds, it seems fitting it's by the person who made me want the book in the first place!
Please check for imposters in the Dark Room.
Charlie Simpson seems to be morphing into @robbotron.bsky.social.

I have made the piano melody from #Severance into my message alert. My life is now mildly unsettling when it goes off.
I did several hours of clambering around in the loft yesterday and carrying boxes up there. Today I am channeling the Theoden 'my body is broken' meme, just without any of the heroism or proud ancestors. 😁
I am sitting very still in an armchair taking the opportunity to finally watch Severance.
Some maths and coding nonsense I am mostly just saving for later. 😋

I was there today too!
