Oof. That’s proper lush. Kudos!

The Tankies can get in the bin, however.

Pity about the IT Crowd’s writer, eh? 😐

Theinternet Theitcrowd GIF Alt: Jen from the TV show the IT crowd says “Ladies & gentlemen, I’d like to present to you - the Internet!” as she proudly unveils a small black box on a glass table at a work meeting.

Pondering my Cyberpunk-adjacent Virtual Reality Open Table. Should I model the network of VRs & computer systems as a megadungeon or a city? Or maybe just a small black box on a table?

Apparently, I am doing “getting older” wrong—I am definitely becoming more left wing, as I age.

NGL, it’s a spectacular book.

I may have just hit a rough bit with Jodo. The Metabarons is a Damn Big Book.

It looks amazing. I dig Moebius but got burned by the sexism of the Jodorowsky comics I tried. (Yes, I know he’s not French. Still relevant, I swear!) Have you read Christin & Mézières’s Valérian et Laureline? Not as psychedelic but still (from what I have read) fab.

“I NERD”?!? Paging Dr Freud! (💀)

Papier-mâché - Wikipedia

For “reasons” (OK—honouring a never completed modelling project of my dad’s), I’d like to make a large hollow mountain for tabletop minis games. The nostalgia twist is it needs to be in papier-mâché. Anyone got any nice examples They can share? Tips? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papier-...

Shiny versus Shiny Grimy People Got the Airfix Space Warriors out today. Gave two a paint wash then varnish and two just a varnish. Hence the grimy shiny v shiny . Here ar...

Hang on. LostDiarist’s SF TTRPG alter ego, here. I now want to use these stories for Gamma World’s Hoops!

It’s pretty “deep lore,” TBH. I nerd to track down a copy of Lone Sloane …

AFTER WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE THIRD NIGHT, SLOANE FEELS A CHANGE IN THE LIGHT AND IN A SUDDEN TORRENT, THE WHOLE UNIVERSE POURS INTO HIS CELL. THE GOD KINGS MAY YOUR EYES SEE. MAY YOUR BODY HEAR, O LIVING ONE, THE SHOUTS OF THE CURSED PRIESTS HAVE REACHED OUR EARS. THE CRIES OF DANGER ECHOED IN OUR HALLS OF LIGHT. THE PRIESTS WITH IRON FACES LIED TO YOU, POOR LIVING ONE. THE GOD THEY SEEK TO REVIVE WITH YOUR LIFE IS A GOD OF DESTRUCTION AND PAIN. IT IS THE MOST MONSTROUS ENTITY OF THESE INFERNAL REALMS. HIS NAME IS THE BLACK GOD. THOSE CREATURES WANT TO USE HIM TO ENSLAVE THE UNIVERSE. THE GREAT CHAOS WOULD THEN PLUNGE US INTO DARKNESS FOR ALL ETERNITY. DESPITE OUR POWERS WE CANNOT ACT, BUT YOU, OUR POOR UNFORTUNATE LINK TO THIS INFERNAL CHAIN, CAN RECEIVE THE MAGIC WORD. THE WORD THAT WILL THROW THE BLACK GOD BACK INTO THE OBLIVION FROM WHICH HE SHOULD NEVER BE RELEASED. CAREFUL, O LIVING ONE FOR WHEN YOU SENSE HIS PRESENCE TAINTING YOUR SOUL, ONLY THEN SHOULD YOU UTTER THE WORD YOU WILL SCREAM THIS WORD, AND THEN FORGET. FAREWELL, LIVING ONE.

Wild. Not sure if you’d know, but (apparently) there’s a connection between Lone Sloane & Warhammer 40K. Allegedly, Bryan Ansell lifted the name The Red Redemptionists for his Laserburn game & the faction survives in the WH lore to this day: wiki.oldhammer.org.uk/v/Laserburn

One for the @bagelpriest.bsky.social ?

The cover to the Commodore 64 version of The graphic adventure creator. Some kind of green demon is waving in a friendly way at some prick in a shiny suit of armour. A woman in a blue dress is reclining in a lazy manner, aimlessly wafting a cutlass about.

An advert for The Graphic Adventure Creator, with a cut out coupon to demand that Incrntive Software RUSH you a copy

Another advert for the graphic adventure creator, this one promising you can make money pumping out this shit.

Watching the death of thought with ai in realtime at work, as a guy continually prompts a model until it changes a single word in a paragraph, instead of just.. y'know, writing that word himself

Lovely! Thank you!

Ha! May I ask what this is from?
