"Britannia rules the waves..."

According to some people on the fediverse, the Kagi forum thread that is linked in the toots I posted above and seemingly nowhere else.
From a non political standpoint: I tried Kagi last year and it was ok but I didn't get the big deal. And because I'm not in the US but the UK if you try searching where's my nearest garage or stay the nearest result came up as 150 miles away. So it's one of those things I'll maybe return to it once it's developed a bit more
The sources I find are solely from mastodon threads, and date from this month and the Brave thing. This is the best thing I've found
Find the nearest English Civil War reenactment and go watch it
Rick is just 12 having some downtime
God's sake. I mean... At least he's apologising? I could imagine some of our recent lot doubling down on this and refusing to give in to wokeness blah blah blah...
But yeah. I'm really trying hard to be charitable cos it's Christmas and everything. That's not really pleasant stuff to hear from the guy who is in charge of the Police (over 1,100 under investigation for sexual assault or domestic violence atm)
Love his Thursday Next books to bits!
It depends on the game, character etc. I mean I suppose it adds to the escapism slightly?
I play all sorts of different games though, some where you're not given the choice (Life Is Strange for example) and I don't feel like it's that big a deal
Are you Ian Levine?
I finished Consider Phlebas on my commute - I still don't rank it quite as highly as the others but it came to life more at the end. My favourite bit was when Horza was trapped on the cannibal cult island. Completely irrelevant to the plot but some excellent wtf storytelling!
I only noticed this comment now, I've been reading the Culture series too - I enjoyed the world building in Consider Phlebas a lot but after a while I just wanted it to finish. So I skipped on and read a few others in the series then came back to finish it.
The Player Of Games was brilliant, enjoy!
That's great! Since most of the people I play with are scattered geographically we play with the app and I actually learned via the app before getting a chance to play it on the table. It's definitely a game where a lot of thought has been put into the tutorials
