Very much agree with this. It’s bizarre that TGA has a category for fighting games that it can barely fill with actual new releases every year, but there is no mechanism for honoring either puzzle games or puzzle design. It’s a foundational genre with a booming scene.

Our code on our screens

Ibi and me proud of our Micro:bit coding success

We had a great time doing #microbit coding at the #Northern #CodeClub meet-up! We’d never met before and really enjoyed making our code produce a flickering candle. Thx to Helen from #CodeClub and Liam of #LeedsLibraries

Roadside small-leaved lime tree

It’s #ProtectOurPlanetDay from stem.org.uk today and I’ve been watching and listening to sessions about trees. Here is a veteran small-leaved lime near my home. I hope it will become an ancient tree in my grandchildren’s life time. #climate

Great new Raspberry Pi official monitor from @Pimoroni for Christmas. Will be good for #CodeClub groups. Now I’ve got to put it away in its box for 34 days! #RPiMag

Loving this tutorial from @seanmtracey.bsky.social in issue #158 of @rpimag .

The Climate Question - How does carbon dioxide shape our world? - BBC Sounds CO2 makes life possible, but if too much is released the planet can overheat.

This was a brilliant ‘The Climate Question’ on Sunday all about CO2! So well explained by the experts and @GraihaghJackson . I need to listen again or get a transcript so I can learn some more. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

A victorian constellation card with LEDs for the stars

Really enjoyed the astronomy activity @otleyscience.bsky.social Festival family day on Saturday. As you can see, my connections weren’t brilliant but I learnt about Bootes stars and revised electronics. Brilliant! #Otley , West Yorks

Looking forward to @otleyscience.bsky.social Festival tomorrow for the 10.00 to 4.00 family day!

Wanted her to see this so I’ll have to repeat it. I’m proud to have her @rachaelmaskell.bsky.social as York’s MP. She could have kept quiet but she risked her political career and livelihood for what she believes in. She should be in the cabinet.

Pic of bus stop medal from Better Points

I’ve been getting the *bus* rather than taking the car in the glorious weather we’ve had lately and I’m saving up my @BetterPoints.bsky.social for an @bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social gift card to spend on myself.

She’s gotta ticket to ride! 🎶🎸 Nearly got enough @betterpoints.bsky.social for a York Gift Card - for walking to the supermarket and taking the bus to town rather than the car.

I’ve given a small donation because I believe in what the Refugee Council is doing - but on my bus into Leeds I hear people talking about voting Reform UK or even joining their party. We have to persuade them different or we’ll end up with a populist or even a dictator.

I have every sympathy with your position and we definitely want more Romias because I’m sure she is doing a marvellous job. It’s not the ‘ultra rich’ though - it’s ordinary people who are feeling we have a problem with so many young men arriving in the UK. How can we employ them all?

BBC Radio 4 - Rare Earth, Powering Our Robot Overlords The energy used by a simple internet search is increasing. Can we cut the cost?

You, yes YOU, need to listen to this episode or Rare Earth from @helenczerski.bsky.social, about skyrocketing power demand from data centres. Particularly now that the UK govt is asking residents to use less water so it can cool the Slop Generator.
