At the screening last night Tony Gilroy spoke about why a lot of people in creative fields are progressive. I forget his exact phrasing but basically it’s because you have to have empathy in order to make something that speaks to people. Refreshing to hear empathy talked about as a positive.

Mandatory haul pic! Such lovely people at #UKGE2025 and so proud to get Biosphere Guardians on so many shelves around the country! Appreciate all the swaps too, some amazing stuff here!

Something quite different from me on the blog this month, nothing about games. I've written about a classic British play, and the current state of trans rights and disabled rights in the UK, because I'm kinda scared honestly! This is 'An Inspector Calls, Social Murder, and Blame' for Jackalope Mail

New young member of Kindling Club impressed with their drawings on Friday! I love how Maustitter always engages folk's creativity!

Very WIP, and a day late, but it's #screenshotsaturday... And it's an important one! For literally the past year I've been saying to myself how important it is to get the main menu, pause, and save/reload integrated. Well, this week I finally did it! Still needs work, but it's functional at least.

Here's a zero-gravity parody song about this week's coverage of #BlueOrigin's rocket launch. Sorry we forgot to turn the clicker off but we were more worried about getting the pitch (nearly) right. It's called "Flight from Earth" based on the anthemic #Firework by #KatyPerry 🎇🎶 youtu.be/YJF6NcwkZbc

You just purchased a Ferrari 308 GTS convertible, the smell of the brand new leather seats is strong. You pick her up for a spin, you’re both wearing matching black Ray-Bans and you smile as the glare of the sunset hits your face. #80s #synthwave #retrowave #80svibes #musicproducer

Happy birthday to Sean Bean who, despite dying multiple times, turns 66 today. To celebrate here’s a compilation of him as Sharpe saying ‘bastard’. Enjoy. youtu.be/tE8d-uGmIWk?...

Biosphere copies in the house! Got lots to send out to wonderful participants and partners, but hopefully we'll sell a few copies to fund the next exchange!

@ludicpedagogy.playframe.co.uk I found that poster I mentioned in our Interview of Cardiff being Horizon: Zero Dawn'd with Aloy about 100-200m away from where I proposed to my fiancee!

@morecivilized.bsky.social so we reading this or what? I'm 33 pages in already like nom nom nom.. it's honestly competiting strongly with my Andor S1 rewatch in terms of time.. busy dad and slow reader. Would love a patron pod!?

It's fascinating to watch Labour trying to 'learn lessons' from other countries' elections when the answer is: tax the rich. Inequality is driving all this. Extreme wealth makes things more expensive. Tax the rich.

I think I'm meant to do this #ttrpg #ttrpgfamily #selfpromosaturday too.. But I really should put the washing on...

It's data analysis time at Evil Hat, so I'm back on my spreadsheet bullshit today. Who wants a look at how Evil Hat's catalog has performed in distribution invoices from 2010-2024 (+2025 YTD)? Being distro invoicing, it won't include IPR (we don't invoice them), digital, webstore, crowdfunding. 🧵

I had a great time at the Kindling Club art table. I'm taking no questions at this time.

I'm trying to get back into museum modelmaking (have done work in lots of local museums, as well as the Natural History Museum in Kensington and the Smithsonian in Washington). This was for Rayleigh Mount, Essex - a site now a tourist windmill where archaeological evidence showed a Norman fort.
