When I found a pub with an inverted normal map. (If you understand what this means, you have to repost.)

The Spilhaus World Ocean Map in a Square A story about the "Spilhaus projection" – a map projection that went viral in fall 2018 and is now supported in ArcGIS.

This is a good explanation of the Spilhaus projection.

NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT!

DWARRF is a Pinball/Pachinko/Bubble Shooter mashup roguelike, where you play as a dwarven 'pirate' who must defeat the evil lurking in the mines atop a 'pirate ship' (a minecart with a cannon attached).

'More than a barman': Meet the Bafta-nominated pub landlord John Blyth is the friendly face at his local pub, but it is his voice that got him a Bafta nomination.

They’ve asked me onto the BBC Nottingham breakfast show on Tuesday. They’re gonna make me do the Big Ron voice. God knows what I’m going to say

β€œGive your wife the best. Give her the news with Clare Runacres”

This continues to be ridiculous

Ok so…
There’s a nice little park on a corner, and a path running directly to one edge of the park. That’s the first image, but there’s 12 other images here. In the second image, there is now a desire path running diagonally across the park. Next image, the path has been blocked by a park bench that the council has put in as a deterrent. Unfazed, in image 4 the path now deftly avoids the park bench. In images 5 and 6 the process is repeated, this time with a strategically placed bin which the desire path also avoids. Presumably in a fit of rage, the council plants an entire hedge to stop people creating new desire paths but eventually this too is defeated and a new path find a way. Finally, the council admits defeat and turns the desire path into a proper paved pathway.  After a little while, a new desire path curving off this new paved pathway begins to emerge…

A little comic about desire paths.

HERE HE IS!!

One of Warhammer’s rarest minis and maybe the best and coolest thing I've ever painted

Submachine Gun Wizard is a total icon & I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to paint him up in my style

And I think he turned out pretty rad too πŸ₯Ή

Children of the Stones - Wikipedia

Also worth checking out Children of Stones which was filmed there, for some folky horror/sci-fi. It’s incredibly 70’s and a load of fun. Also all the food is really bizarre! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childre...

Had another chance today to give my one rock-solid bit of advice for tourists visiting the UK: instead of Stonehenge, spend the day at Avebury (You can touch the stones! There's a pub inside the circle! You can walk to Silbury Hill! It's free!)

Today is the 30th anniversary of the PS1 in Japan.

One of its most notable moments came five months later, at E3 1995.

Sega had just announced that the Saturn would cost $399 in the US. Sony's conference followed, and Steve Race dropped the three words that would change gaming.

🧡This is the story of THE WORST GIG I've EVER done.

NYE 2018. I posted on Facebook about what a fab year I’d had, donned my best lashes and set off for my last gig of the year: singing pop to 80 people at a pub in Essex. Easy, easiest of gigs and paying sweeeet dollar.
