Through the ruin of a city stalked the ruin of a man.

Another edition of HOW HAUNTED IS THIS HOTEL HALLWAY? I feel the alarming x-shape lights and the jagged carpet pattern are metaphysical tools deployed to keep the copious lurking spirits at bay. 7 out of 10 untethered souls.

A bright beige hallway with a green and brown angular carpet design. The lights on the walls emit a sharp X-shape of beams

Soft Rains Day. "Today is August 4, 2026, in the city of Allendale, California. Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills." RIP Ray Bradbury, 1920-2012

There Will Come Soft Rains By: Ray Bradbury In the living room the voice-clock sang, Tick-tock, seven o'clock, time to get up, time to get up, seven o 'clock! as if it were afraid that nobody would. The morning house lay empty. The clock ticked on, repeating and repeating its sounds into the emptiness. Seven-nine, breakfast time, seven-nine! In the kitchen the breakfast stove gave a hissing sigh and ejected from its warm interior eight pieces of perfectly browned toast, eight eggs sunny side up, sixteen slices of bacon, two coffees, and two cool glasses of milk. "Today is August 4, 2026," said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, "in the city of Allendale, California." It repeated the date three times for memory's sake. "Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills."

speaking of which, THE INCIDENT AT GALLEY HOUSE is a fun time, an Obra-Dinnlike that you might have played when it was called TYPE HELP

We were watching that silly new Tom Hiddleston reenactment of the disaster of Pompeii and he was like ‘we have amazing new tech that allows us to track people through this disaster’ and I was oh no he’s going to say it’s an AI brain or something and then he said…. ‘Its a spreadsheet’ and I CHEERED

got to say, I've seen three Hellraisers and the whole 'pleasure' part of the deal seems to be a bit underwhelming; it mostly seems to be a bunch of hooks up the jacksie and any pleasure is just, like, if you're into that??

Steve Hitler, who has died at the tragically young age of 66, was not someone I ever expected to become close friends with. Though known mostly for his racism and noncing, we first struck up a friendship based on our shared hatred of trans people, and he was always warm, funny and kind to me

suddenly realised there’s a Fights In Tight Places sequel out in Early Access, instantly bought it. Weirdly the aesthetic seems to have gone Dark Mode? Not terribly keen!
