I can't believe my working day has been usurped by things relating to Josef Mengele AGAIN, in an entirely unrelated incident. You'd think that in 2026 this would be a one-off anomaly, but apparently Der Todesengine keeps on running where I'm concerned.

They took the time mechanic out of Time Crisis and Crysis was still really good though, so who can say if it's wrong, really.

Cowardice. Any game with time, or inventory or money or ANY kind of limit, players will complain and mod it to remove all of that. And they're wrong *every single time*.

Stella has helped me every single time I've needed it since we reconnected after losing touch as friends for a while. Every time, even when she was broke herself. I'll send something over as soon as I have money this week, but please help out if you can!

Hey everyone. Things have been tough around here and they are about to get worse. I’ll probably need to make a bigger ask soon, but right now I’m asking for some help covering essentials. Next post has what I’m trying to cover. PP: @StellaSacco CA: $sacc No Venmo

I'm supposed to be asexual but I got so frickin' invested in the romance in Heads Will Roll by @joshwinning.bsky.social - absolutely adored the novel, and the audiobook narration. Definitely in the top 5 slasher novels I've read (and I've read, y'know, A LOT being a horror editor and writer).

I'm listening to a podcast from a year or so ago and I would absolutely swear blind that the main character is played by @mrbiffo.bsky.social or if not then it's his voice doppelganger.

It is a photograph of a duck with cow ears and horns, a rabbit's body, chicken feet for feet and hands, a pheasant's wings and what looks to be a terrier's tail. If you can't see this image, I promise I'm not making this up. That really is what the photo is of. It's an attempt at creating a taxidermied Wolpertinger, a German cryptid.

Bluesky! Today is my birthday (well, the 7th but I got up this evening). If you think I'm cool, awesome, or worth a gift, you could buy me Onimusha: Way of the Sword Premium Deluxe edition (need those outfits) on PS5! Can't run it on PC. Or contribute towards it at paypal.me/oliwrites

I haven't even heard of some of these, and my 2026 list is already longer than it has been in quite a few years.

It's obviously bait to call 2026 a weak year for games but it's been such a good year. VHOLUME, Big Walk, Incident at Galley House, 868-BACK, Cairn?? Slay the Spire 2???? Penguin Colony and 500 Finger Fillet before the year's out??????? What planet do you need to be on to consider it weak lol.

@dominictarason.com Can you remember the name of of a recent shooter/platformer where you play as like, a tween girl with ADHD? I think it begins with O but I might be wrong. Third person. It's driving me NUTS. Help!

When you hear the Skellies are coming for you again, but this time they got shotguns.

If you are a writer centering headlines around @wrongorgan.bsky.social while reporting on a story that does not involve them in any way, other than they were previously published by the company where one of the workers is facing allegations, you're not a journalist.

They need them to walk. Solved. Now pay me $2000 or whatever you paid for this, unknown newspaper.

In a move that will surprise absolutely no one who's been paying attention, Stock has decided that women with disabilities are suffering from "social contagion"

A times column header beneath a picture of Kathleen Stock: " KATHLEEN STOCK
Why are young women using walking sticks?
A disproportionate number of Gen Z females are affected by vague syndromes and may be victims of social contagion"

I think @jamieflanagan.com is gonna produce something special here. Very glad to know them, even if it was at the start of a 2 year bout of unemployment and the return of chronic fatigue syndrome so I've been a neglectful friend. Gonna make up for it by telling you all to buy the book for a year.

VIEWS FROM THE OVERLOOK Edited by Jamie Flanagan

Did you know in Stephen King's novel, THE SHINING, the Torrance family lives in an apartment on Arapahoe St?

Did you know my ancestors hunted buffalo on the land the original Stanley Hotel is built in Colorado?

Did you know I have a story coming out in Jamie Flanagan's VIEWS FROM THE OVERLOOK horror anthology next summer?

Did you know I'm the only Arapaho writer to ever write in King's Macroverse?

My short story is titled "Heritage Night," and I can't wait for you to read it. Hohóu.

Oh my god I have literally just now worked out why they play Blood on the Risers for Herr Starr's initiation tests

Weird that Israel and its allies would be against Massive Attacks, they've made it pretty clear they're a huge fan of them.

Massive Attack has been banned from Singapore after they held up a Palestinian flag during their concert here last week. www.bbc.com/news/article...

@bandcamp.com Hi there, I have an issue with being unable to download (or even find) an older purchase in my library, and wondering if you can help. It was part of a bundle, and the bundle itself is listed as a purchase, but since the bundle no longer exists, it doesn't show that I own the albums

So I've said this before, but: The reason we ask for content warnings on submissions is NOT because we want the content to be toned down. Quite the opposite in fact. It's literally just a tiny guide to help assign the right editor to it. You don't need to tone your work down or sanitize it. PLEASE.
