Rip van Wrinkle

Oh goodness me, I feel like Bob Kerr would have completely gone to town on a Sierra-style Terry game. What an utterly perfect idea. I’m sure you could do wonders with Footrot Flats too, such a rich story world!

It’s the exact same set of gears that unfairly chewed up Metiria and it absolutely deserves harsh critique. But even an unfair clock grinds the right person into paste twice a day

Agree. But there is at least some satisfaction in seeing the media machinery finally catching Luxon’s sleeve, after years of “you just need to get to know him” exemptions (a persistent angle I can’t remember any prior leader getting, Nat or Labour)

Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith and Defence Minister Chris Penk says Christopher Luxon is still the prime minister.

apparently it is

BREAKING: Christopher Luxon and Nicola Willis have left the caucus meeting together. They have gone into a side room. It appears the meeting is continuing without them there.

chat is this what you do when you are still the prime minister

went to wiki because I’ve never even heard of this film, but dutifully averted my eyes from the plot summary

ALIEN for me, because that film got in my brain really deep really early but I already knew about That Moment when i saw it.

So many other great candidates in your replies! Has anyone mentioned Empire Strikes Back? Star Wars stuff feels a bit played out now but ESB would still hit I reckon.

haha more woke nonsense from the greenie loons at (checks notes) IAG Insurance, the country’s biggest insurer

Huge congratulations Alex, this is so cool!

(You might need another podcast episode for this!)

I honestly can't believe i get to say this...

FIGHT OR FRIGHT was nominated for an Indie Groundbreaker!! @igdn-official.bsky.social

A massive thank you and congrats to @twopancakes.com who improved my scratch design plans to make something truly beautiful

The Hutt River has about 10 times the flow now (in cubic metres a second) than it was having at 3pm [link works in Chrome but seems a bit iffy in Safari] graphs.gw.govt.nz/envmon?view=...

Cyclists get a little narrow lane where cars can’t hit them

Everyone dies in floods

Oh that’s not a combat-scale map, it’s a full regional map - there’s like an entire strategy board game where you play a tribe of early humans hunting and fetching water and stuff.

It’s WEIRD.

The final page of the 2001 scenario for Star Frontiers. It’s really weird.

(Just saw this one month later) Dave the whole of the 2001 module is *weird as hell*.

I sadly note that map E appears nowhere in the module.

Me too! I think it’ll be okay but we have danger zones a couple streets away

Yeah I can’t remember it in my entire life in the Hutt

Trying to stay up to date with weather warnings and closures and advice via facebook and it sucks so much.

Twitter used to be so good for this.

Where is the lie

fucking colonists

L: A young W B Yeats wearing pince nez and a large bow tie. R: A middle-aged Aleister Crowley wearing a large (possibly homburg) black hat and the ‘I’m mad, me’ expression that he always put on for photos

Ah! 19 April – 126th anniversary of the day William Butler Yeats kicked Aleister Crowley downstairs as they fought for control of the British branch of the not-at-all-ridiculous Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the Battle of Blythe Road. According to legend, anyway... 🧵

Superb repartee. I’m sure Zocchi would approve!

Who i had a crush on: Donna
Who i should have had a crush on: Lucy

Seeing numerous reports that Lou Zocchi has died. RIP to a legend of the game. Can’t imagine anyone else will ever have a die size named after them.
