A Winged Victory For The Sullen
Saturday morning listening
We're just going to have to agree to disagree on this.
Let's not do that. Some of the most powerful stories ever told are about awful people doing awful things. It's fine to enjoy this sort of fiction.
Breaking Bad is flawed but the flaw isn't "Walter White is a monster and some people didn't understand that".
Those people are fucking idiots.
We have to stop judging fiction based on whether the stupidest people alive might misinterpret it.
Fight Club literally explains its themes to the viewer.
If Loot The Room goes down it's because ionos just tried to charge me Β£240 and I simply do not have it
Never Another You is an album of lofi beats (not lofi bears, as I nearly typed just now) perfect for chilling out or doing creative work to

A photo of a screen that's very, very far away from the camera. It shows Harry Styles but you can't really tell.
We did have some tiny screens but they were not much use
If you watch the show on Netflix on Sunday, know that behind the big screen is a curtain and behind *that* are seats full of people who can't see a fucking thing but are still having a little rave
It was really great
Itβs always striking to me to consider ideas that have enough expressions in game form that I could (or have) build a whole class around them.
Regency? Sure.
Physical Book Weirdsies? Duh.
Ideas of Language? You bet.
Concepts of Divinity? Damn right.
Murderous Undergrads? WORRYINGLY SO.
Can confirm that the zero view seats at Harry Styles do in fact have zero view
My new Wretched & Alone game Blood In The Margins is out now! You killed someone on campus with your friends. Journal about the victim, the justifications, the investigation closing in.

I've been having so much fun working on this
I've been a lifelong fan of Tunnels & Trolls. We acquired it and are re-imagining it via a big Kickstarter. There is magic and monsters but someone needs to dig out the latrines and make bread.

a dungeon game is grimdark dungeon crawling focused on body horror and the consequences of violence. It's a super fast system with loads of free tools online, and it's pay what you want. More here:

Very jealous
I watched it again on a tiny back-of-seat screen on the way to Mexico last year and even at that size, with subtitles and no audio, it's fucking incredible
People think I'm being a pretentious film bro when I say it's one of my all time favourite films but it 100% deserves its reputation. It's a stone cold classic.
No I will not be listening to the new Harry Styles album today actually because we got free tickets to ONO so I'm going to wait and hear it live, thank you very much
A Dungeon Game is here and it's free! (It's been both of those things for ages tbh)
Explore subterranean depths, face dragons, and discover what lurks beneath. It's classic dungeon crawling with modern design (i.e. it's good).

People who play albums on shuffle, who hurt you?
THE THING FROM THE SWAMP is B-movie creature horror for MΓΆrk Borg. Schlocky, brutal, fun in a trashy way.

Honestly could do with some of that magic again
Shut Up & Sit Down help up a copy of The Wretched for roughly 16 seconds and I sold out a print run.
Dicebreaker covering A Dragon Game made me a couple of thousand pounds, too
Today on Reddit: a man arguing with his full chest that there isn't any implied sexual violence in *checks notes* Hellraiser
It's so difficult, not being the target audience for absolutely everything
