When I was a kid my cousin told me he accidentally ate a metal ball from a magnetic construction set. He said it "fell into his open mouth at the exact same time as he swallowed". The next day I walked past his room + saw him hunched over, popping the metal balls in his mouth like Lindt truffles

The Incident at Galley House is a Steam remake of Type Help, an incredible puzzle game that's well worth playing. I wasn't sure if I'd play through but I'm glad I did; there's tons of improvements and extra bonuses for people who played the original. Buy it! store.steampowered.com/app/3641000/...

The Incident at Galley House on Steam

In 1936, something terrible happened at Galley House. Decades later, with a strange contraption that reveals echoes of the past, you must uncover the truth behind this grisly mystery.

"I would *love* to come, I *really* would, but I just remembered I need to uhhh.... un-beach 15 sperm whales. yeah they are beached to fuck it's wild"

A friend is on a flight to Madrid during the world cup final. Says the pilot came over the tannoy to excitedly announce that Spain had scored! Then had to sheepishly come back on and say there had been a mistake, no goal. Even the damn pilot got VAR'd...

My electrologist says I'm the best to ever do it. She said no other client is better at laying still and getting electricity shot at them. She said I'm so good at not moving and pretending it doesn't hurt to have electricity to shot at me, it's almost like I'm dead! Her words not mine.

Finished Zero Parades. Really good. Disco Elysium is my #1 or 2 fav game so I went in skeptical and came out very impressed. Feels like a proper spiritual successor; a well executed thing made by people who learned a ton of lessons making Final Cut. I'm also a sucker for any spy themed stuff.

I have a new strategy for dealing with the generational UK heatwave where I just pretend I'm in the sauna. I'm not over-heating, I'm enjoying a relaxing sauna. Also its a sauna where they let you watch Northernlion Librarian vids on your laptop

It's Kyle Tam's Birthday/launch day! Moriah is @percypropa.bsky.social #TTRPG about ordinary folks facing the extraordinary. The game asks, "What will you sacrifice to save what matters most?" This is the Final Cut of the game with expanded text & visual design! Back it at ttrpg.link/moriah 1/X

MORIAH: Final Cut

MORIAH is a simple role-playing game of ordinary people facing the extraordinary. It is a game of sacrifice, where people living quiet lives at the base of a holy mountain must attempt to ascend it in...

New MUNA (Dancing On The Wall) has really grown on me. The back half of the album especially. Girl's Girl, Buzzkiller, So What, Big Stick. All the singles are good, even the little interludes. A throughline of upbeat poppy breakup yearning. Album goo

Muna album on vinyl.

Been drawing for the first time in years, some characters I'm playing in TTRPG type games. I do some 'graphics design' (read: photoshop pixel-pushing) but zero illustration so it's been fun to practice

A digital painting of a white woman wearing a dark blue suit with white shirt and blond hair in space buns, against a blue background with a magenta starburst behind her head. The post/outfit is from Hunter Schafer 2025 Met Gala. No AI was used to create this.A digital painting of an Asian woman in a military uniform with her black hair pulled up into a bun, she has black eye point. The background is green with abstract leaves. No AI was used to make this.

New Mitski album is good but I kinda wish all the songs were like That White Cat, If I Leave and Where's My Phone? It's cool she still wants to write songs like that all, she'd be well within her rights to have moved on completely. Album feels like its pulling from more 'eras' than TLIIASAW

hi folks! i'm looking for full-time remote work in game design! my specialty is tabletop games (i've both self-published and contributed to award-winning & bestselling TTRPGs) but i've also written for jam-winning video games! is your company hiring? get in touch & i can send my portfolio!

TR-49 was really enjoyable, another good Inkle game. I managed to get all the entries in one (long) session with no out-of-game hints. If you like detective, investigation, database-search type games this is a must play: store.steampowered.com/app/3838370/...

are you jewish and do you think you can gather 2-5 players for TTRPG playtest that must take place in the next 48 hours? if so, send me a DM!

On launch of #Vanitera450 we ended the day with twice as many Cataphract orders as we processed. So we paused the game for a week and I built a bot that fully automates letter sending + delivery with correct node-based pathfinding for messenger NPCs. We've reopened for a few days, so far so good!

I'm co-running a modified Cataphract game which starts in one week. It's a 'play-on-Discord' wargame set across two fantasy medieval continents and will run for 1 year realtime. We have 55 players(!!!) signed up but will need more, if you're interested let me know samsorensen.blot.im/cataphracts-...
