I don't know if the parallels between people in an occupied country blowing up a US military convoy and plucky earthlings defeating an invading enemy are *intentional*, but they're definitely in there.
Having just watched War Machine I've got to say, I think there's more going on here than is first apparent. (Also it's a fun watch. Worth 90-ish minutes of your time.)
Dark had a really interesting premise but kind of spoiled it with the 'we have to spin this out for a potentially infinite number of serieses' problem.
If it had been written to be a tight 2-3 seasons then finish, would have been much better.
The scene from Pacific Rim where the mathematician says "We should witness a double event within seven days."
I think this actually came up in the animated Yellow Submarine movie.
Cover for the solo TTRPG: Crucible. Minimalist drawing in black and glowy green of a figure holding a lit torch as they walk through a dungeon and three monstrous creatures lurk up ahead peering through an archway

Well then I'm out of ideas. ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Contact details in bio maybe?
Ah, well, then my advice is 'not Substack'.
Yeah, Substack is a Nazi bar. I've found Buttondown to be very easy to migrate to (from Mailchimp, even) and use.
200 years ago today, Alexander Graham Bell became the first Boomer to call someone younger than them for absolutely zero functional reason at all.
A fabulous set of games about relationships, including at least one epistolary game about writing love letters between people separated by war, and which may well end in tears.
Come get the bundle while it's hot (and please repost!)

What I do know is that trying to iterate across a string instead of a collection is going to produce wonky results, and that this is why I prefer strongly typed languages.
Got me idly wondering if the culture of code review is bypassing this humility by allowing people to externalise those feelings onto other people.
"When you identify a problem you become a problem", to quote Sara Ahmed.
I don't really know, though.
Nothing like debugging to remind you how easy it is to make stupid mistakes.
I could have saved years of work if Iโd realized that the only thing required to be agile and implement continuous delivery is to say you do those things.
Title: "The Haters" panel 1. Two round characters sit in a cinema. Yellow blob "I hate this!" Red Blob "Me too!" Panel 2. They have left the cinema Red blob "I hated every minute of that film! It was nothing like the book!" Panel 3. "Did you like the book?" asks Yellow. Red replies "I hated it!" then asks "You?" Panel 4. Yellow blob "I've not read it. I hated the film purely on its own merits." Panel 5. Red blob "I'll lend you my copy." Yello blob"That's very kind." Panel 6. Caption: "Later" Yellow, reading the book "I hate this!" Red (happily) "I knew you would!!"
"the Haters" my books cartoon for this week's @theguardian.com
You should be happy with it, it's great!
Holy shit is right.
A closed caption saying "Funky Shit by Prodigy playing".
I mean, this doesn't really narrow it down.
Feel like this needs a rave beat.
The Secret of Terror Castle, which was ok, and The Mystery of the Stuttering Parrot, which is available on Youtube and still very much holds up.

But did you remember the two books on tape?
We listened to the one with the parrots so much in the family car that we still quote chunks of it back and forth.
I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this ๐
'Digital asbestos' in the sense that it gives you cancer, too.
Among my people there is no greater joke than "adapt it to 5e"
Lancer? "Adapt it to 5e"
Cyberpunk 2077? "Adapt it to 5e"
Fabula Ultima? "Adapt it to 5e"
Girlframe? "Adapt it to 5e"
And we laugh and laugh and laugh
I've got a game in this one! It's The One, my solo RPG about forming relationships with a variety of weird-ass fantasy creatures and slowly learning how not to be a bad partner.
I was trying to make a joke about out of control top tights but it just wouldn't land.
Every so often I look at a secret lair card and think "I would like to own that, just as an art object."
And then I see how much it costs and I think "I don't want to own it that much."
move slow and repair things
