People keep asking if I’ve finished unpacking. No, and when I left my old house after two years I hadn’t finished unpacking there either. But I’ve moved in the direction of unpacking

We've learned today that Phantasm franchise hero Reggie Bannister has entered hospice care. It's time to rally and show Reggie how much he means to us fans. Here's how to send well wishes and cards of support his way:

"I am finally free." Leonard Peltier walked out of prison today at 8:40am, nearly 50 years after the U.S. govt lied to put him there. New statement from Peltier, along with photos of him moments after leaving prison, in the sun, happy. www.huffpost.com/entry/leonar...

Your last saved celebrity pic is your therapist. Oh no.

PSA: All of David Lynch's features have just dropped at archive dot org, including Industrial Symphony No 1, Hotel Room, and the Duran Duran concert

Excellent new housemate

Okay, I’ve unpacked and set up my bed, coffee and bookshelves, so basically home now

One of the wifi networks I can see from my new place is called Cristal Connors and I’m determined to make friends w whichever neighbour named their internet after the villain from Showgirls

New room!

Includes #iHunt, easily worth the full price of the bundle by itself, one of my favourite games. Plus tons of other great stuff! And a great project to put some money towards

Moving day! Making my last cup of coffee at Leicester St! Feeling nostalgic!

Why do I have so much stuff? I am getting into minimalism before I have to move house again

NO CHARGES

Please someone tell me there’s a way to watch the Super Bowl halftime show in Australia?

The first episode of RTFM, the RPG book club podcast I cohost with @snaxwell.bsky.social, was uploaded on this day in 2022. Now there are 73 episodes in the main feed, with so many cool guests. Happy birthday to us. Here's one of my favorite episodes, covering Wet Grandpa with @dialacina.bsky.social

I think moving house this month is gonna mean I don’t finish my David Lynch jam entry in time, but still excited about my smalltown underbelly pervert detective game

Going For Broke, my fast-paced sitcom roleplaying game about a collective house scrambling to make rent, launches on Backerkit next week. I would absolutely love it if you checked out the teaser page and hit the subscribe button. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

It takes me an hour to write a letter for work and a day to go back and take out all the good bits before I send it

A favourite film from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s

YO ✊😭

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945. They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

Found some people to play with online on Sunday afternoons and was real excited about it. Realised today the problem with this plan - Australian summer, no a/c in my room, 2-6 or so is the hottest part of the day

This episode has me considering the most unhinged shipping costs to get a Triangle Agency box set to Australia

Trying to convince myself I can get rid of any clothes I haven’t worn in the 2.5 years since I moved into this house. But no

Just watched Jane Campion's Sweetie for the first time. Unbelievably great, and somehow the most accurate portrait of Australian life from about 1980 to the millenium ever recorded. I must have at least three exes who are exactly like Sweetie (complimentary)

1/3 I am so thrilled to present the first in a series of weekly Games For Gaza projects! This interview, with Palestinian game designer @arcanewhiskers.bsky.social, is probably my favorite interview I've ever done. PLEASE give it a watch/listen/read!

Incredible thread of amazing games!

This sounds way too sad for me but I bet it’s gonna be great!

I'm... not sure what came over me, but as soon as I saw this cross my feed, I immediately went and bought it. It's... compelling. The horror part, the sex part. I have no idea when or how I would ever play it, tho. 😨

Dice Exploder returns tomorrow for season 5. It's going to be a banger season: - two episodes on the creation of physical artifacts during play - a long series on larp and what tabletop games can learn from it - a two parter on a game I've wanted to cover since before the show launched

Does anyone local even follow me on here? Come see this with me on the Sunday!!

Spent 15 minutes trying to work out if the child actress in The White Balloon and The Mirror are the same person, despite being credited with different names, or if I'm just racist and think all Iranian kids look the same. Turns out they're sisters! Anyway, both these movies rule, you should watch

If you see this, post a fictional artist/band that you would love to see live

In my Urban Shadows game on Saturday, the Sworn and the Fae had a meeting at a werewolf sex club, so I wrote it up for the #tinyworldjam strikecuriousposes.itch.io/growl

Me: Dad, did you want to catch up? Your other child and grandkids just moved overseas, that must be really hard for you Dad:
