Land owned by webs of shell companies that are hard for conservationists to unpick, native wildlife allowed to disappear to cut building regulations, and many "conservation" groups riddled with racism and anti-ecological thinking.

Still, I can't help but miss these landscapes whenever I'm away.

I have mixed feelings on the UK countryside, since so much of what we're familiar with (green hills, expansive fields, tiny scattered woods) are the surviving remnants of a great ecocide that's gone mostly unremarked upon. British rainforests destroyed, farming practices apathetic to our ecologies.

Wind turbines over a motorway, sky gloomy and grey.

Wind turbines over a motorway, sky gloomy and grey.

Rolling hills, small clusters of trees, and a marbled sky as blue streaks break through grey.

Rolling hills, small clusters of trees, and a marbled sky as blue streaks break through grey.

Belated, but the day after releasing Behind the Hydra's Eyes, I travelled ~250 miles across the UK. Grey clouds holding back a marbled blue, rolling hills of sodden greens and browns, distant ghostly shapes of trees and turbinesβ€”omens written in gnarled wood and steel, engines masking whispers.

I will be reading this over Christmas as a festive treat to myselfβ€”a chunky 661 page behemoth of archival work.

I'd actually been waiting eagerly for it after reading Iskra's other archival collection on the PLO earlier this year, and have my eyes on some of their beautiful poetry collections.

One of those games that stays with you in the best of ways. Tonally one of the most carefully balanced games I've ever played. Amazing work.

Behind the Hydra's Eyes on Steam Welcome to Forward Green, Dave, we hope you're excited. Project Lagoon Breeze is a great opportunity to make connections, oversee construction, and manage community relations on an international scale...

It's official, Behind the Hydra's Eyes is out now on Steam 🀯

For Β£4.99, you too can experience the joys of British office work. Answer emails, make tea, and avoid thinking about the building sense of dread!

Great graphic, and I'll be using it tomorrow πŸ‘€

I also heavily recommend 'This System is Killing Us' by Xander Dunlap (climate justice centred analysis of megaprojects), and 'The Apocalypse and the End of History' by Suzanne Schneider (colonial boomerang-style analysis via islamic fundamentalism).

@dragosf.bsky.social I'm making a note of this to use in a future game ;)

Ad layout on Canary's website layout makes this read like an onion gag lmao.

Anyway, people powered politics is the future, huge props to Zack and everyone working to make the Greens a vehicle for hope.

I'm insanely proud of our work here, but we've made a game that's weird, interesting, and (dare I say!) very funny.

Too much to sayβ€”of what inspired us, of the themes, of the learning journey of making our first game, of the amazing experience of exhibiting itβ€”but I'll stick to "wow".

I'm at the airport waiting for my flight home from AdventureX 2025, so here's a thread of the games that were exhibited at this year's event.

Fishing is so passΓ©, now it's all about making a nice brew in a bleak British office against the backdrop of corporate greed and greenwashing. Or something.

🚨 Our demo is now live!

If you've been yearning for a satirical pixel game about being an office project manager with the unfortunate debuff of being British, then...that's odd. But boy have we got the game for you!

My degree touched on this, where I looked specifically at the imposition of slaughterhouses in Vietnam, both as vectors for outbreaks and as important sites of racialisation. 'Slaughterhouse Capitalism' is a very useful term to understand both of these and how they shaped capitalist development.

Enjoy! I couldn't make it (delaying my acquiring of GO merch for now ahah), but I'll be watching the speeches. Hopefully you're right about the voting being pretty noncontroversial!
