Went to see The Odyssey and so now HAVE OPINIONS
Only took me 8 years and 3 copies of Into The Breach but I finally got all the medals. I got close on Steam a few years back but then a cloud saving issue wiped my progress.
10/10 All new shops should just adapt the old shop's signage like this
Just watched Backrooms (its fine). Feels like a film that will have tons of sequels which expand on the "lore" in profoundly stupid ways
Have never knowingly bought or used a Goodyear product (tyres?) but have had Ice Cube playing in my head since Wednesday so I guess advertising works? www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4Uq...

I always forget the 13 has that lens flare on the cover. Such a strange choice, very "It's 1999 and I've just discovered the filters menu in photoshop" (i say this as someone who discovered the filters menu in photoshop in 1999)
We Could Send Letters@wecdsend.bsky.social · 4w agoDay 3. While Damon goes with "The ghost I love the most", as someone who is heavily influenced by the Des'ree school of lyrics, I've always preferred to sing: "Tender is the ghost, The ghost who makes the toast."

Always enjoy seeing this little carved out sight line in this otherwise normal building
Goose value 71 !
Ed Zitron@edzitron.com · last mo.SoftBank’s investor presentation is one of the greatest things ever made. I’ve been thinking about it all day. These are the real slides shown in a speech where Masayoshi Son said he wouldn’t retire for at least another decade. The goose stuff is truly demented. Bravo group.softbank/media/Projec...
@puzzmo.com crossword particularly brutal for non US-ians today 😢
What a beautiful game! Look at the colours used here - magical work! :D
A thing I love about Splotter games is how they really lean into the absurdity of modeling complex real world systems in reductive boardgame form.
Still think of that last shot whenever I do some ironing (about twice a year)
Scarred For Life@scarredforlife.bsky.social · 2mo agoKEEP FLEXES OUT OF REACH (late 80s): A real late-night horror, usually aired during the ITV Night Time strand well into the 90s. Part of its audience would have been students and ravers coming home from a night spent off their heads, so god knows what effect that last shot had on them.
just in case you ever feel you're not good enough, this is from an old conversation with John Blanche as he and i discussed imposter syndrome a few years back go well, John. you fucking rocked
my squad: hedgehog, fox barn owl, puffin (last minute sub) bumble bee, frog
Lorna@florilegia.bsky.social · 2mo agoOne for Bluepals here in the UK: have your say on which animals should be on our banknotes. On the topic of finding joy in small things, imagine booting Churchill off the money and replacing him with a puffin ♥️ www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/he...
Enjoying this new game but "ginnel" is definitely a word (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginnel)
Zach Gage@stfj.net · 3mo agoToday we launched Ribbit — An Anagram game where you'll find every word — live to everyone! Letters are only linked if they're used in a word. As you find words, the grid prunes itself. By the end, there's just one word left. Then frogs sing to you. Play here: www.puzzmo.com/puzzle/2026-...
I used from 4 to CS4. Feel like 7 or the first CS version was the turning point

A David Attenborough boardgame: Zoo Quest (1959)
I love the way the text and images face all directions. All players should have to read upsidedown sometimes
Wyrd Science Magazine@wyrdscience.bsky.social · 3mo agowe regret to inform you that not helping today's newfound Menko obsession is that there's just so much of this stuff out there, and it's all soooooooooo good. Look upon the 1966 Batman Menko game board , my wallet, and despair...
