Just picked up this rather fun yet devilishly tricky puzzle book by @ghostwoods.bsky.social and my mate @hellbornhero.bsky.social - it’s rather neat, I’m enjoying it a lot!

Oh, if you needed any other evidence of my lunacy, I've also started a playthrough of The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. It seems to be going down pretty well as something relaxing to doze off to, which delights me.

It's time to raze existence.
It's time to banish light.
It's time to call the void in,
on the Muppet Show tonight.

I genuinely do spend an almost unmanageable amount of time thinking about RPGs and board games, so anything in that area is a perfect fit.

Tim once advised me to be less self-deprecating, and while I'm working on it, I still have to do so through gritted teeth.

Thanks to his unparalleled guidance, I'm actually pretty blood good at this now.

I would love to write for you, especially TTRPG stuff!

This book is out in seven days and I am profoundly excited!

I can't thank Tim enough for the opportunity, help, and the exceedingly kind words.

We were digging up obscure lore and production trivia just for the joy of it while writing, and I'm certain that enthusiasm shines through in the book.

And my favourite idiom for daydreaming is the Mexican pensando en la inmortalidad del cangrejo. It means “pondering the immortality of the crab”

A triangular checkout divider (AKA a cash register toblerone) on a cashier's conveyor belt

One of the many German words for a supermarket checkout divider is Warentrennstab, which means “the stick separating the wares”
 
And in German-speaking parts of Switzerland, a colloquial name for the triangular checkout divider is Kassentoblerone, or “cash register Toblerone”

I'm glad to hear it! Deliver some chin scratches on my behalf.

My condolences regarding the money that you could have spent on something more fun than surprise cat surgery 🫂

Is the delightful idiot okay now? ❤️

Hell of a thread!

Bravo! Genuinely hilarious and very well done.

If this will stop it from sounding like someone treading on a large bag of crisps when I move, I'll take it.

Can't taste any worse than Red Bull either.

Metal as hell! 🤘

Noooo! RIP Vernor Vinge, a sci-fi legend, one of the best to ever do it, much like Ted Chiang didn’t write huge amounts, but everything he did was at the highest level, True Names was the first real representation of cyberspace, even if he didn’t come up with the snappy name.

I always laugh at this until I cry. 🤣🤣🤣 This time is no exception.

A paragraph from Christopher Hadley’s book ‘The Road’ The emperor's lengthy name is rather restrained by the standards of many inscriptions. 'After AD 200,' one historian has written, 'the self-adulation recorded on milestones grew so flamboyant that titles and distinctions covered the entire road-marker from top to bottom, and one had to read through all this verbiage to find out what road one walked.' And so we

Thanks for the recommendation! I saw the trailer for this before Dune a couple of weeks ago and it really caught my attention.
