Love to pay for managed hosting. Love to have to do their error investigations for them. Love to not have the access needed to actually fix the issue. Love to wait endless hours on a response that isn't correct.

Getting on the national broadcaster and announcing you are a clown

My brain has spent the last 24 hours going "4! That's numberwang!"

Of course the GTA hype machine is going to be insufferable, but "GTA 6 is so detailed no single Rockstar employee knows it all" is just such a stupid quote to be running with. That's true of every game! All games! Why do you think things are made by teams?

Built a OneSec style iOS app that makes me pass a japanese language quiz before I can use social media apps so that's me cured of scrolling forever probably

Haven’t done any iOS app dev in about a decade but it’s nice to see that testing and distribution is still as easy as chewing directly through a concrete wall

Big Woke (positive)

Latest project done, and actually remembered some progress pictures this time - 4 card wallet with some decorative stitching. Had to redo the stitching a half dozen times but got there in the end.

It's time for Fantasycon, which I'm stoked to attend for the 1st time today! Very excited for the launch of Haverin, the GSFWC's 40th Anniversary Anthology 📚 I have a story in this (my first in print!) and I cannot wait for everyone to see the rest, 'cause there are some stellar names involved 🧡

The full-body disgust I just had at seeing someone bragging about how easy it is to make zines with AI, what the fuck are we even doing

It’s Kanelbullens Dag so I made an unreasonable number of cinnamon buns and will now die of eating them all

My latest review for Shoreline of Infinity looks at Fold Catastrophes, a devastating short story collection by Peter Watts. In many ways it's a coldly optimistic book, but I loved it! @shoreinf.bsky.social www.shorelineofinfinity.com/fold-catastr...

Sad news everyone. Our beloved friend the computer has now become a hated enemy

Absolutely stoked for this, the first one was fascinating

is it normal to be tired all the time

What’s the deal with Backerkit that every campaign makes writing a survey sound like dismantling a live bomb? Surely asking an address isn’t that hard

Kutná Hora was so stunning I can immediately see why they used it as a location, even without including the Ossuary

People get SO worked up about layoffs in the games industry, but now that Nintendo hired that man everyone’s upset? Hypocritical much?

No-one wants to work any more

#CoverReveal alert! Behold the cover art for our new anthology Haverin, designed by our own Jenni Coutts. Look carefully and you'll spot some sneaky clues to the tales inside. Celebrating 40 years of the GSFWC, #Haverin is out October 2026 from Taverna Press. #GSFWC40 @jennicoutts.bsky.social(1/2)

If I ever need to signal that I've been kidnapped and need rescued I will simply load up a Hoyoverse game on Steam

Find out who you are, and do it on purpose.

New byline ✨ My review of Fields of Mistria for Eurogamer - this farming sim really is outstanding in its field 😏💚

Beastie Boys were right

Morella, ayer. 📷 de Albert Gavaldà, q no tiene cuenta en bluskay, xo es un fotógrafo del Baix Maestrat q merece atención, casito y siete u ocho premios internacionales y varios nacionales

Real strange how AI criticism causes these folks to flip out immediately and explosively. Wonder what that's about, eh.

Your bad art is better than AI slop.

Vinyl records, which have had an enormous resurgence as people have realised that owning a thing is actually pretty neat. Clown brain.

Netflix' 6 hour advert exclusivity is longer than Rockstar are gonna give their devs before laying them off after launch

Grading games/cards/movies is incredibly stupid and you should smash open every plastic slab you come across

every single nintendo direct is written like its advertising the first video game ever made. in this “game of strategy” you can choose to attack with swords [8 second clip of a guy attacking with a sword] or with spells [8 second clip of a guy attacking with a spell]

The most predictable thing on earth

Neuromancer is chillingly relevant today because it asks: what if a guy would rather Die than stop Going Online

Well, it finally happened! After 9 years of Unity dominance, Godot was the most used game engine for GMTK Game Jam 2026 submissions. 🤖 Godot - 47% 🎮 Unity - 34% 🛠️GameMaker - 5% 🚀 Unreal Engine - 3% ✨ Other - 11%

Sorry Glasgow, but no ironic comedy protest sign will ever be funnier than the right winger earnestly flying a Charlie Kirk flag

HOW IT'S GONNA FEEL FUCKING UP KEYBOUND BRAWLER WITH THE STATIC
