I’ve started season 3 of The Handmaid’s Tale, a show I still find utterly gripping and borderline traumatic at the same time. The thing I find more traumatic is a single sentence that’s stuck with me from an interview with Margaret Attwood.
“We never put anything in the show that hasn’t happened somewhere in the world already.”
Why is so much of YouTube obnoxious pricks screaming at video games like they’ve just managed to find a cure for cancer or something. Just chill out a bit, I’m glad you’re enjoying your game of Pokemon but man, can you not do so quietly?
This post brought to you by having a 12 year old and a headache.
Today in ridiculous things I’ve done: emailed the developer of my current favourite game to ask if there’s any chance of exposing game state so I can feed it into stage lighting.
Every now and again I remember why I do this whole festival nonsense and a massive smile appears on my face.
EMF people, do you consider lightning talks to be too slow and not focused enough on playing a game? Well, I’ve got good news for you because the arcade is hosting a speed running evening, sign up to show off your ability to play games quickly at https://grist.orga.emfcamp.org/forms/icprbr1ZJmhzqXC49u3rhR/57.
If you’re freakishly good at either Sektori or Tetris Effect I’d also like to hear from you because we’ve got something special lined up there as well.
@mhoye @pikesley this has to be at least partially a question of proper regulation. You don’t see harnesses sold under those terms because it’s straight up illegal to. A harness is either sold on the basis of “this has been engineered so that if it fails during a fall your spine will have failed before that” or it has to be very clearly labelled “this is for cosplay only, it will kill you if used in anger”.
If you told 18 year old Jon that his idea of a good Friday night would be sweating to death flinging himself up walls you’d have got a very strange look indeed, and yet here I am, having just returned from said activity.
I need to non-urgently speak to a GP. I can use the online booking (I do not have a registration code), NHS eConsult (has no further capacity for today), or I can join a phone queue at 8am delaying people with actual urgent conditions. Someone make this make sense?
