Good thread on what made the original Star Wars great and a sharp observation on world-building.

The covers of the Smiths' albums and singles had such a distinct aesthetic. But aside from the one single with Elvis on the cover, I hadn't the faintest idea who was in any of the photos. Now I do. Thanks, internet!

Why do sci-fi RPGs so often leave faith at the airlock? In my latest post, I explore how religion – real or imagined – can add tension, texture, and truth to old-school science fiction gaming. The stars may be silent, but our characters don’t have to be. #OSR #SciFiRPG #TTRPG

I have just stumbled upon Australia's Pub Choir on YouTube and IT IS AMAZING. Everything sucks out there. Go watch Pub Choir sing "Bohemian Rhapsody."

Polygon’s been sold with big layoffs ensuing, WorldCon steps in it again, Xbox price hikes, TTRPG industry hit by tariffs… Man, even reading about my pastimes is a downer.

The greatest challenge in Oblivion Remastered is sticking to a character concept. Think I’ve dabbled in half a dozen classes thus far. The only consistent thing has been my dude’s hair.

Well that’s a satisfying election result, all things considered. I am *really* looking forward to a Tory civil war now. Knives out, kids. Have fun. Come back in two or three years. Preferably as more than one party. #election2025

I’m increasingly of the mind that it’s far better to simply wait until the next day to find out the election results. This watching the map shift around on the basis of another 12 votes counted at a polling station is silly. And let’s not even discuss the pundits. #election2025 #canadavotes

En route to polling station this afternoon, a guy (my age, maybe older) calls out to me, “Excuse me, sir! Has anyone ever told you that you look just like Roger Taylor, the drummer for Queen?” So there’s my voting story. #canadavotes #election2025

Liverpool are Premier League champions!!! #LFC #YNWA What a magnificent achievement for Arne Slot and the team. And Klopp too, since he was so pivotal in putting the team together over the years. Lovely that they sealed the title on the 11th anniversary of “the slip.”

Walked past a nearby house and they’ve installed retractable steel bollards in their driveway. To protect their car from being stolen, apparently. Bollards, really?
