Have fallen back down the factory/automation game rabbit hole (okay, I threw myself down it voluntarily!)
I’ve got all the Steam achievements for #Beltmatic (so much mathematical fun) and I’ve gone back to trying to get the #Shapez achievements. Currently puzzling over logic gates 🤨
Important news!
This week my music stream moves to Sunday night at 9:30 pm, where after a month of increasingly stressful debate, I will finally pick my favorite albums and songs of 2025.
I expect to have the playlist finalized at 9:29 pm.

Oh, yes please.
(Free one for anyone who reads this - play more mono-coloured or dual-coloured decks. Restrictions can be fun!)
Let the bussing commence.
Two from Django Wexler: How To Become The Dark Lord And Die Trying and Everybody Wants to Rule the World Except Me, which on reflection might have been mentioned in an earlier episode….
The passion the @loadingreadyrun.com PPR was joyous to see!
Next ad break was four sports gambling ads. Sheesh.
Three gambling ads in a row? FFS Kayo. The sooner sports betting advertising is banned, the better.
Time to check my leave balance, setup the comfy chair, and confirm my donor account! #desertbus #desertbusforhope
I don’t know what’s going on with these blue signs with yellow/red text and I’m now too afraid to ask.
Apparently there was a baseball today? My feed is flooded with it when I know that an order of magnitude more of the world’s population is watching the cricket.
Does anyone else just want to make EDH decks based on art or theme? My “only cards from Khans block” was a really fun experience! #magicthegathering #commander
We're 18 days (!) away from the start of our 19th run. Why not spend the next week with us welcoming the volunteers working in front and behind the cameras to keep our show running? Each shift runs 6 hours, features beloved segments, and might just have a few additional surprises or cross-overs.
Just look at our disturbingly talented two-hander cast of our Special Episode! 🤩
Beth brought a sickly sweet tone to Gwen we hadn't anticipated and Lucy brought a dry Northern lilt to Ashley that we hadn't considered. And they both made us laugh constantly. Always a treat working with them! (1/3)
Fun episode, and a reminder why @betheyre.bsky.social is one of my favourite voice artists!
I want to call in sick to work and try streaming games. I know that my viewer count will be zero, and my voice will be trash after 15 mins, but it’s just … a nice idea.
Taking things to the next level by insisting everyone refer to cornfield mazes as "metroidgrainias"
The trombone is a mighty instrument (just ask @coachnelly.bsky.social !), and ska is a genuinely fun genre of music!
In a very literal sense, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has you learning words of power (dragon speech? TES lore experts will correct me if necessary).
Oh no …. Anyways.
It’s your 75th anniversary, Charlie Brown! 💛
🎉 Today marks the official 75th anniversary of Peanuts! On October 2, 1950, the first Peanuts comic strip, shown here, was published in seven newspapers nationwide. Charles M. Schulz was 27 years old.
Good luck with the launch!
Reposting because Pizzamas only lasts two weeks…
DFTBA asked me to write another D&D game for them! It’s stuffed with jokes for Nerdfighters, but you don’t need to be a superfan of Hank and John Green to enjoy it.
$12 bucks to charity and you get the loveliest thing I’ve ever written.
Kaizen: A Factory Story is now available on the itch.io store! In addition to getting DRM-free builds of the game for Windows, Mac, and Linux, you also get a Steam key!

Shivam, I’ve got bad news for you. There’s still three months left in the year. (I know, I know, it’s cruel news.)
Incredible. Especially the whoop-whoop at the end. 🚨🚨🚨
I’ve realised that @desertbus.org must be coming up soon, and that sweet realisation is going to get me through my Friday. Hooray.
Bring on the shenanigans.
Couldn’t make the Wooden Overcoats Anniversary Liveshow ? You’re in luck - there are 3 days left to watch! www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/com... Huge thanks to everyone who already watched!

Here’s an Antigone-focused preview!
Purple background, white text, which says Who's the best dad in the Discworld? Can villains be great dads? Bedtime Stories & Bony Knees: Discworld Dads -- Tansy Rayner Roberts
We've been publishing some cool extras every now and then, like this listicle from @tansyrr.bsky.social about Discworld dads... you can see them at all www.speculativeinsight.com/extras.
You'll also find a brilliant time travel (ish) short story, and Celia Lake and Freya Marske in conversation.
Oooh, haven’t come across this logic puzzle before. Diving in either an “evil” rated, what could go wrong?
