I love this site so much youraislopbores.me

Was so lovely to chat, let’s definitely get coffee (and have you give a talk) sometime!

Have you seen Retrospecs? Little mobile app that recreates these restrictions for dozens of systems, as image filters. I use it to make all my avatars and stuff!

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

Made it to Friday but at what cost

Trying to figure out how to google number 6

Nah 100% the right time is always now I think.

You should post nine pens though

I’ve had a good time with the Sharpie S-Gel lately to my surprise, not so much in terms of it being good to write with but it’s super reliable and consistent.

Congratulations to Dr. Shields! It was such a treat meeting him at AIIDE last year - I highly recommend checking out his work on game design analysis, he has such a great perspective on design, balance and technology: ojs.aaai.org/index.php/AI...

This game is very good. I know it’s a bit of a week for deckbuilders but you have to give it a go.

Oh and it’s good. I didn’t know if it would be good or not. But they made it good. Astonishing things happening in 2026 videogames.

Completely mad this is now on my computer like a normal videogame, next to Silksong. Real videogames that exist and are my friend. Madness. Can't happen.

They put one of these out every month I think and each one is just chock full of the stupidest advice you can imagine.

Well you’re half right, Anthem Tech Guides.

You got some *stuff* 👀

Very excited. Can’t wait for everyone else to get a chance to read it. Well done again!

This kind of post-truth, trollish warporn has been around for a while, except the kids who popularized it work at the White House now.

I just performed my second set with #magpie! The two people in the pic are actually playing with the set interactively using mini controllers. More on all that later 🪶 Magpie v0.1 will be out this week!!
