1. Games on boards with 8 or 10 rows. This is thought to refer to ashtapada and dasapada respectively; however, later Sinhala commentaries refer to these boards also being used with games involving dice. 2
2. The same games played on imaginary boards. Akasam astapadam was an ashtapada variant played with no board, literally "astapadam played in the sky". A correspondent in the American Chess Bulletin identifies this as likely the earliest literary mention of a blindfold chess variant. 5]
3. Games of marking diagrams on the floor such that the player can only walk on certain places. This is described in the Vinaya Pitaka as
"having drawn a circle with various lines on the ground, there they play avoiding the line to be avoided". Rhys Davids suggests that it may refer to parihara-patham, a form of hop-scotch.
4. Games where players either remove pieces from a pile or add pieces to it, with the loser being the one who causes the heap to shake (similar to the modern game pick-up sticks).
5. Games of throwing dice.

I've been unemployed for a few months. I now set myself pretend jobs to prevent the rot setting in. My son thinks this guy is funny, which is a good enough excuse to make something. Any requests?

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

This Is some art I’ve made for Decomposer, a graphic novel written by Mason McDonald. The book is well on it’s way to being finished but we’ve set up a Kickstarter to help us complete it. I’d really appreciate if you’d have a look at the page (link below) and consider helping us out. Thanks!

Tonight I had to stand in a recording booth for 10 mins, making goo-like noises for a sentient but non-verbal alien slime character I have in the new series of my children's sci-fi show. It's a tough business.

is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?

Please enjoy this lovely stag near Glencoe. He was only a few yards away and so perfectly posed.
