✨ NEW RELEASE! ✨

FORGOTTEN PALACES is a trilogy of ttrpgs (well, two ttrpgs and one dtrpg) about digital worlds out of time: role-playing games inspired by making games as a kid, by early mmos, by lost aesthetics like utopian scholastic and frutiger aero.

in this thread, i'll introduce the three games.

Also I really need to get back onto working on the helmet. Looking at the recent high quality pics I think mine is a bit too big, but there was really no way to judge that from the low quality photos I had back when I commissioned this.

The wood filler coating needs to be removed as it just flakes off, whatever I do. Gonna try and do that this weekend and give it a coat of body filler instead.

Also third I got a message last night that the Dark Knight cloak that I commissioned has been completed!! Should be picking it up next month!! :D

Show thread

So the first thing was my hyperfocused toots from yesterday about the building used in the intro of the show, the second was being informed that Noel Fielding’s new show has a scene where The Dark Knight’s helmet is on display, which made me SO excited and happy that it’s still around!!!

I really wish that I could own it, more than anything!!

Honestly, an eInk note taking tablet was the best thing I've purchased for a long long while.

It's not a Remarkable and it's not perfect, but it's nice to write on, backs up to OneDrive when I plug it in at home, and there are no distractions like an android tablet would have.

Heee things from yesterday got me thinking about The Dark Knight again~ <3

My first and still biggest crush and I want to be them RL <3

Additional fact, series 2 has shots showing the exterior of the building from the lift. Having looked at video of the lifts at the Lloyd's building I'm pretty sure that it's the lifts facing Leadenhall Market!

Show thread

Hello yes it's time for me to do sort of a "I thought too much about this" toot about my favourite game show from the 90s, Incredible Games.

The tower block shown in the titles for series 1 is Trellick Tower, in London. The photo for the titles was taken, IMO, from the Golborne Road Overbridge.

The titles for series 2, I realised today, uses the same photo BUT has been mixed with a photo of the Lloyd's Building (taken somewhere south of it, probably from atop another building).

if you want a small home server, don’t buy a raspberry pi and cry when the sd card gets corrupted yet again. buy a second-hand office computer.

dozens of these things go for <200 AUD every other month at my local auction house. they’re quiet, they’re fast, and they use less power than you’d think.

Disability Rights UK: "Despite having 7 years to do so, the UK Government has made no progress on improving the rights of Disabled people. Instead - our rights, access to support, and the provision of services have all deteriorated, with an increase in hostility and hate.
Under this Government, the UK has lost its status as a nation that leads in disability rights to one that is actively attacking Disabled people. [1/?]

UN report released on the UK government's violations of its human rights obligations towards disabled people. this is a follow up to the recent UN inquiry that the UK government was summoned to give evidence at. report finds the UK has made *no progress at all* after prior investigation a few years ago that found "grave and systematic" violation of disabled people's human rights by UK.

"Like millions of #Israelis, I was also kept ignorant by the state and its educational system on purpose. However, once you unlearn #Zionist propaganda, there is no going back; the world makes so much more sense, and it feels similar to what I have heard of those who escaped a cult."

I should not be allowed unfettered access to communications equipment.

Attended a union brown bag today.

About half of the questions were related to the employer asking people to work extra and then take it back as "flex time"

Which is something you can do, if you as the employee requests it! The employer cannot ask you to do that, and if you refuse they need to pay overtime!

If you're lucky enough to be part of a union, attend their meetings. You'll learn the most interesting things

Dysphoria, hair loss, MH(-) 

So the past couple of days, with the change in weather and heating/AC use in the office it’s made my hair go a bit blergh and I’m feeling pretty bad about the thin patch of hair on my crown and how it shows up in photos, etc. I kinda wanna get something shorter so I can style it easier and hide the balding but don’t want to go back to being more masc looking.

you've heard of rock 'em sock 'em robots, now get ready for

Oh hey it’s kind of a palindrome day! 24-4-24 in dd/mm/yy and also in yy/mm/dd!

There's an alternate universe where Netscape Navigator embedded Lua instead of inventing js, and I'm not sure if that's a better world or not.
