Final Love Fest (Agents of SMOOCH 142) Welcome to our last mission to say goodbye to the Agency. It seems fitting that we do this on Valentine’s Day, exactly six years after we started. We’ve gathered a collection of Agents to reminisce ab...

We started on Valentine's Day 2020, so it is fitting we end on Valentine's Day 2026. Thanks to everyone who participated and everyone who listened. We leave you with lots of memories and recommendations. My heart was full.

You should ask to be put in touch with the author, they sound great!

Yeah, I’ll try and check it out!

Thanks!

Oh, interesting, nobody has mentioned that before - that’s a good suggestion! I’ll add an option next time.

Dice by PCalc 2.9 is out now!

My #ttrpg dice rolling app now fully supports all the 26 OS updates and has a shiny Liquid Glass redesign.

I've also reworked the reroll function, so it better remembers the starting state of the last dice roll.

Information can’t hurt you!

A burden shared is a burden doubled.

The moment you realise the inner corner radius of the screen next to @samreich.bsky.social is _slightly wrong_ and you might be _slightly neurodivergent_.

This is your official heads-up that PCalc and Dice by PCalc are both going to be on sale for Black Friday at 50% off from this Thursday through until the end of Monday.

So, if you're thinking of buying, wait 24 hours! Or like, buy now, if you want to give me more money?

Either is good!

Sadly, they did not heed the warning!

Computers didn’t pass the Turing Test, humans failed it.

Going live again, streaming Mass Effect 3 for the kids!

Come hang out, and donate to a great cause. We’ll be joined by the wonderful @jamesthomson.bsky.social and @kathycampbell.com (and *baby Charlie!*) as guests during this stream!

What version do you see on the store, and what version do you have installed?

“Not for me” - do you not see the update, or are you just saying you aren’t interested?

What do you mean?

There's a selection of new Dice by PCalc pride shirts on my merch store, and I'm donating my profits from them to local queer charities. Why not treat yourself on this last day of June?

I wasn’t hiding! But hello again :)

Not as much as I would like!

I like that when I spend points on the Kobo website, I get an email entitled "Congratulations on your redemption!”.
