I'm looking forward to this game coming out. It looks like the kind of game I would enjoy.

It's a rather interesting video. Seems like folks were trying to fly before DaVinci drew up plans for a flying machine, though the landing needed a bit of work.

@richdmay.bsky.social I heard that there could be some interesting moments in Sniper Elite, but I came across this in a Discord chat, and um...😳

I love this picture. It's just wonderful how the artist put the wind in everything, you can almost hear it howl. Tacuinum Sanitatis. 14th century.

@richdmay.bsky.social anyone at Rebellion tried this yet?

This would be me.

@jasonkingsleyobe.bsky.social I'm not sure kicking off my birthday by learning about Black Annis from Leicestershire was a good idea. It seems like another tale tweaked by the Victorians. Did you hear about her growing up, or is her tale starting to fade?

It's my birthday. I'm 39 now, and I can only hope that my future will be better than my past.

I am hugely grateful to these well-informed fantasy fans for taking the time to write these letters rebuking The Guardian for that asinine 'romantasy' opinion piece. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/f...

@jasonkingsleyobe.bsky.social This looks fun, though I have to wonder about the odds of a viking and a knight getting into a fight. 🤔 youtu.be/WyomMKGAfiQ?...

I've finally had this difficult talk with Beike and I think she is ready to accept it. ;)

@jasonkingsleyobe.bsky.social @richdmay.bsky.social I ran into someone who loved Alien vs. Predator in a Discord server! Seems he loved dropping out of vents to chomp on folks, and he loved being able to play upside down as people weren't used to that.
