What do you do when you're in a creative funk? When you don't know what to do, or which direction to go in? Because BOY am I there right now, but I'm determined to not let it last much longer.

Jeff is a big part of the reason that Murder by Numbers ever existed, so if you liked that, you are morally obligated to wishlist this.

Oh and Fall Guys I guess, if you're into deeper cuts.

Terrible that Anne Widdicombe might have been murdered. I'd much rather she'd survived until the rapture, so she could be left behind and have to witness God tell her she got it all wrong and that, actually, being a shiteheap to so many people under the guise of 'faith' was not what it was all about

Sometimes when you're learning Japanese you see a word and you're just like 'ugh! of COURSE that's what it is! what a logical language!'

yesterday's example:

通気口 tsuukikou
pass through + air + opening
= air vent

the pulsing X on top of the heart is such a beautiful touch. what a gift for this to be the last thing I see as I lie clutching my chest on the floor, vision narrowing to a pin-prick focused on that X, bigger, now smaller, now bigger again; beating just as my heart seizes. game over

Never thought the day would come where they'd announce a new Xenoblade game and I'd just feel "meh"

ALERT ALERT! I have a new most surprising place I've had the classic, "Excuse me, I've got a script for a game, can you make it for me?" approach.

Grindr.

Never thought the day would come that I'd have a Xenosaga game in my Steam library - let alone that it'd be Pied Piper!

Guess who thought the LGF Self Publishing Toolkit conference day was today, and just walked into an Amazon Business event.

It was on Tuesday.

This story of how Yoko Taro designed the world map for the original Drakengard makes me feel SO SEEN. As does the section header, "No Interest in Worldbuilding".

(From the lovely new book The Wor[l]ds of Yoko Taro)

I swear to the highest of highs, Vodafone: I will find every person who enabled and developed this shitheap of a chatbot, and I will erase them. Not kill them, no -- I will so comprehensively destroy them that there will be no trace of them ever having existed, even in their dearests' memories.

The Guardian does amazing work in the data visualization field, and this is a great way of demonstrating an issue I didn't even know existed.

This game is so good - massive congratulations on making it to launch, Moo and team! Hugely compulsive, tight writing, and fun characters. Highly recommend it to anyone who liked Murder by Numbers and wants something compelling and cosy.

I love flip/foldable phones but fucking hell they are still SO flaky. Now the touchscreen of my Z Flip 6 isn't working, and it seems like it's a pretty common issue. And fixing them is expensive too - might make more sense to just buy a new mid-range phone instead
