Right, with couple of toots already out it's time for an #introduction!

We're the Middle Ages in Modern Games conference: we're a small independently run annual event that specialises in short-form, written papers on how medievalisms and medieval societies are used in modern games and gaming.

If that sounds good, do follow us and read along as we post links to our papers! Boosts on this welcome so we can find interested people.

Bon c'est bientôt le week-end et quoi de mieux que de se détendre avec une petite blague avant la quille.

Tu aimes l'histoire, la seconde guerre mondiale, le wargame mais tu n'aimes pas les nazis... Cette blague est particulièrement faite pour toi.

Perso, je pouffe à chaque fois que j'y retombe dessus.

#Labour's #green push includes, alongside GB Energy and vetoing new oil and gas licences:

  • fast tracking floating offshore wind with 5GW planned
  • more than double onshore wind to 35GW
  • more than triple solar to 50GW
  • quadruple offshore wind to 55GW
  • complete existing nuclear projects, extend life of existing plants, invest in SMRs
  • double target for hydrogen to 10GW

The #SNP are very angry about the oil and gas licences, but this all looks great to me.

I posted this once 5 years ago and it suddenly came up again. And unfortunately more topical than ever....

We're in this together! What if... instead of endless wellies, we just take the safest alternative? Discussing is fine, but please off the rails... 😎

It's been around a week since I switched to Linux Mint as my main OS and here are a few thoughts...

If you have a PS5 and like to play remotely from your PC, Chiaki is the app for you. A little wonky to configure, but so far works great.

So far the majority of software that I used with Windows has a Linux equivalent. If it doesn't, I've had to find workarounds.

Haven't had ANY driver problems at all.

So far there haven't been any big issues and it's been pretty painless.

Yay!

Last weekend the family watched The Gamers. We also have Dorkness Rising and Hands of Fate.

I discovered yesterday that there's a #Kickstarter to fund a fourth film, Dorkness Falls. I've backed it, and I'd encourage all of you to do so.

So, a guy behind the first two "Gamers" movies is trying to crowdfund fourth one as well. To which I say: sure, why not?

I'm usually very skeptical about belated sequels/cash-grabs, but I have fond memories of first two "Gamers" films. They came out long before Twitch streams and YouTube actual plays made #Dnd (relatively) popular again.

So, why not? Let them make another one! #movies #dnd #ttrpg

I'm not gonna jump in on that thread about 'all men' but I am gonna say this:

While it's true that not all men do X, it is absolutely more true that patriarchy socializes ALL MEN to accept or be blind to certain truths about their position, importance, and relevance in the world.

Almost everything all men think of as 'natural' about their status in the world is not, in fact, true.
It was crafted through oppression, suppression, and violence.

It is also true that it takes an enormous amount of deliberate de-conditioning to throw off patriarchal thinking and praxis.

Those for whom 'not all men' truly apply (which is a small enough number to be sad and pitiful) know this to be true.

And so do the rest of us.

I do like #Olio.

12yo needed a new, slightly bigger, bike. Got one from a second hand bike shop. Old one works fine and is too good for scrapping, but isn't worth anything. So, a quick photo, up on Olio, and two days later another kid has a bike.

Meanwhile, a neighbour collected a stack of food "waste" from a local supermarket. Thanks to Olio, we've had pastries with our afternoon cup of tea and have bananas to go under custard later.

promises to bring back national service for 18-year-olds - https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/25/sunak-promises-to-bring-back-national-service-for-18-year-olds surely this means sunak has just lost most votes of women with children who would be conscripted under this desperate idea?

Labour's Rachel Reeves rules out increasing income tax or NI

What is the actual point of this? We know the country is on its knees. We need to invest. I'd gladly pay more taxes to have functional NHS, roads, schools, etc.

I had given up on pleading for more alt-text but I'll try again!

Please add alt-text to your photos/pictures it only takes a minute and does not have to be fancy. My policy is not to boost images without alt-text and I am not the only one.

This is one of the cultural things I like about Mastodon, the inclusiveness. Please don't ruin it.

This morning I made a last-minute decision to change the name of a new robot character in Frozen Heck, the fourth book in the Starship Teapot series. I really don't know why I ever called her anything else.

What an amazing opportunity to do the opposite of the shiny new thing called “AI”.
