Mr Backlog

This was such an excellent clip. I'd heard the name, but had no idea who this guy was. Talk about changing the world

Relatable.

I hear that a warrant has been issued for John Farnham immediately.

I think of the sorts of people who'd fall for this and weep

I used to have a problem with games dragging on forever, then I hit upon a great answer - three acts, hard(ish) deadlines of 1hr each. If you fall behind, cut content to get to the next "milestone" at the appropriate time.

Usually it winds up 4hrs, not 3hrs. But it's never gone beyond that!

I listened to this audiobook of #TimWinton #TheRiders. It's from the early 90s. Imagine my surprise to learn that filming for a film version, starring Brad Pitt and produced by Ridley Scott, has just commenced.

But central to the book is that the protagonist, who will be played by Pitt, is ugly.

Antony Green did a pretty cool blog post on this

John Wagner: "Dredd's Never Going to Die" In the first part of a brand new three-part interview with the comic book legend, John Wagner discusses his “last” Judge Dredd story, his dislike of the Trump administration, why he’d love a robot but...

With a writing career spanning more than half a century, John Wagner is quite rightly regarded as one of the all-time greats of comics!

This week he joins Mike Molcher for the start of an expansive three-part interview about his incredible life in comics ▶️ https://bit.ly/4qiV1K5

I was about to say this, but you've preempted me. And you're also correct, Palmer was referencing the vote, Shorten was referencing the campaign

Can't believe I only recently discovered this youtu.be/7PTvxw4fc9M?...

I remember being told about this as a kid and thought it was stupid. Time to do the next generation a favour I suppose

Went here for the first time a little while ago. It was obviously a real labour of love that's run down a bit (some of the houses fallen apart, the "train robbery" long gone, etc). But still pretty fascinating.

Curious if any buildings were genuine - guessing not but unclear

That's probably right.

Etrian Odyssey 4 (haven't played the others) went in the middle by using the stylus on a DS to make maps that were a lot more user friendly than hand-made ones. But that's rather hardware specific!

Definitely a space for Bard's Tale with interesting combat. Are you thinking user-mapping (BT 1 and 2) or auto-mapping (BT3)?

Such an awesome tagline 😂

Sorry I realise that is irrelevant to your point

At least another two if you count pre-federation. Rum Rebellion md I think there was a convict uprising too - all shot under the flag of truce I think

Imagine telling your kid "sorry there's been a mix up. We don't want you anymore - we've ordered a replacement".

The psychological harm if nothing else

I've been gaming for 30yrs and can't believe I've never thought of this.

Guess I've mostly stopped doing "combat bosses" for a climax, but still

...no.

Next question?

Is this a consequence of the skills changing what you think is cool, or just losing interest?

Like how learning to play guitar makes you dislike Oasis?

Child #1 - What's in the ant trap?
Child #2 - Ants.

Today, I heard my kids debate whether #Teeniepings have butts. #parenting

Why cancel the whole event rather than rescind the decision?

@peterbrent.bsky.social So you've been unnaturally quiet about Randa Abdel-Fattah. What's your take? Is there nuance being lost in this?

Your stuff encourages media literacy. I've learned a lot from your "content"

"Look, the U.S. has not got a perfect record. There’s no doubt about that, and it has betrayed its values many times, but this is of a different order. This is just a blatant throwing-the-whole-thing-out and making a claim to be able to use force whenever it wants." - @oonahathaway.bsky.social

It's not as good a representation of electoral desires
