YouTube video by Space Quest Historian Why you should go to AdventureX if you're an adventure game fan

If you weren't at @adventurex.bsky.social this year, allow me to dig up an old video of mine that explains why you should definitely consider going next year. youtu.be/ETh1k03ED5A

The English teacher in me is pleased by the appropriate use of "farthest" to describe distance rather than an abstract.

Reform’s β€˜Trumpian’ legal threats hint at more aggressive approach to media Ultimatums sent to publications appear to intensify as Nigel Farage’s party rises in polls

If you receive legal threats from Nigel Farage for your reporting of Reform, please get in touch.

We have employed a defamation lawyer specifically for this purpose and would love to help (and we do so on non-commercial terms). www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

In GoldenEye on the N64, if you change the controller layout to "Domino", you can shoot your weapons during cutscenes

It's all about the intonation. "SOR-ry" is an apology, while "sor-RY" is a question or request. The same applies to "excuse me"

If you can, help blender out?

They're a free 3D software but development costs time. In a world of stupidly expensive software with predatory subscription models they are a last unicorn πŸ¦„ for 3D modellers and other creatives. It's important to have this in the world.

With Blender, I know how to make the "dissolve on-off" effect that so many movies use. The moving-parts assembly that the first couple of movies have shows a fantastic amount of work and care involved.
