Intro post: Fun - #TTRPG, played lots of DnD but soon to rotate in to DMing so expect a lot about that. Professional - #DataScience & #Accountant python, excel, DBs. Me - Grew up in poverty in Thatchers Britain and wherever I am now that has informed my politics. Never trust a Tory.

Damn. RIP.

Walter Koenig was made famous by Pavel Chekov - but for me Bester in #Babylon5 was his best role. He played a magnificent bastard so well it made me *hate* him. Best villain in that show and many others by a good distance. Be seein' ya. #RIP

Ref my last repost - that is a great font joke.

The "algorithm" is wild. Facebook decided today that I simply must be a red pilled incel. And suggested about 50 groups I had to block. Checked my activity, hadn't liked anything obvious by accident. Simply being male is enough. Wrong guy my man, I have baby on the way.

Just fitted the car seat for the first time. Which was fun. Its fairly idiot proof.

Just freaked @hellybellyb.bsky.social out thinking I'd installed spyware on her phone when in fact she sent me the message she meant to send to her sister. It's not me, it's you....

Greatly enjoying the stock photos used to illustrate news stories about emergency stockpiles. Because it'd be unthinkable to go a week without horseradish sauce 😃

FICTION: “Trident House has glamoured her and, in her glamour, she is unaware of what draws her there and stalks her through the concrete weald – the imprint of a vanished forest, a distorted memory, an inverted thing.” precastreinforced.co.uk/2026/10/23/f...

Three for the price of one tonight. Prompts: Hero, Beacon and Dapper. I think Hero is my favourite. #inktober

Can confirm that this is a real trailer of the Mass Effect game that BioWare was developing up until its closure yesterday www.reddit.com/r/masseffect...

@goblinarchives.itch.io will there ever be a printed liminal horror? I see things saying one will come but those things are quite old...

S-tier shit posting. Fonts that will make your teeth itch.

rare non-shitpost from your pal ceej: if you self-host plex you’re gonna wanna update asap. crypto miner malware started hitting installs yesterday, it got me and I’m usually pretty up on this stuff

Me: "Don't you dare" sounds perfectly normal but "do not you dare" sounds absolutely ridiculous which is insane because "don't" is a contraction for "do not." Doctor: I meant is anything bothering you physically

Pregnancy is odd state to be in. A whatsapp with a perfectly reasonable off of some silver nipple shields. We only discovered nipple shields existed yesterday. Words put together in orders I could never would have thought of before. Sentences I will never see again.

this is partly how we end up with such credulous, fawning coverage of AI

Not now novel human diseases. Not human transmissible I think but... Fucking hell, come on. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

10 forward meets HHGTTG #inktober

Jesu cristi. This is has the potential to be a huge disaster.

This is multilayered - the text on this one is a genuine direct my parents received when trying to attend a wedding in Scotland. #inktober

$550 including shipping. Crikey Mikey that's a chunk of change.

*sucks air across teeth* #inktober

Are you receiving me?

Bits left over is an acceptable IKEA problem, less so on a spaceship. #inktober

As a Somerset boy I don't think "black bird I'll 'av 'e" and a Morris dance would be a good pairing for couples choice. It does make me wonder what I would chose... Signifying monkey and lindy hop? Wang dang doodle? It's an interesting question and thankfully irrelevant :) #Strictly #Scd

Hey #ttrpgCommunity! If you were to create one #scifi #horror #ttrpg scenario, what are the most important aspects you'd want to be in it? #rpg #dnd #ttrpgsky

I dug into our Amiga bigbox shelf for #RandomGameSaturday and came away with Supremacy: Your Will Be Done. Real time sci-fi 4X that was my first brush against anything like it.

You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location.

I've played this and it was great fun. You should take a look. (*Waves Hi at Martin*) #TTRPG #LimnalHorror

The original men in black urban legends are much better. Gangly #Inktober

Another twofer since we got to sleep even later last night. Prompts lady and hooray #inktober

Let's drop the veil: Change does not happen just because it should. Nothing improves without action. If you don't want to live in a world controlled by insane AI and it's Techno-Aristocratic elite, get out and vote. Do it. Otherwise, this account won't be satire for much longer. #vote #politics

OOC: Memos from Lofwyr began 5 years ago and has become progressively harder to do every successive year. The cyberpunk corporate dystopia is here. We are basically a televised firing squad execution away from exceeding satire. Get out there and #vote.

There are elements of this every time I have touched it.

I'm going to be attaching keys to the sides of our pram and going about my business like a modern day Boudica. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co...

2-4-1 as I forgot yesterday's #inktober

Someone just inflicted absolute violence in me and @hellybellyb.bsky.social. Toy story is as old today as Mary Poppins was when Toy story came out.

If you're looking for an amazing podcast series, this has arguably been my fav 🔎Search "The Lovecraft Investigations" on any podcast app (or BBC) S1) The Case of Charles Dexter Ward S2) The Whisperer in Darkness S3) The Shadow Over Innsmouth S4) The Haunter of the Dark #Podcast #Storytelling

It's a massive shame about the Bristol #improv Theatre. I expect we'll see a lot more given the brew house in Taunton going too.

People priced out of employing Tilly Norwood forced to look at Tilly South Norwood or even Tilly Penge.
