@laser @muppetbutler I don't even really like GWAR's music but the one time I saw them at a festival the show was fucking amazing, and Dave Brockie is a tremendously funny man

they got him on stage in character+costume to announce the winners for a charity raffle they'd run at the festival and he kept demanding they get up on stage right now and fight him

@lynnesbian and who needs data sync across devices, you can set up syncthing to have self-hosted encrypted data storage and then you can symlink the registry entries on all your devices to automatically export you read/reading flags and bookmarks and can just press a button on your phone to reimport them when you launch the app there

a reminder that Myst 4 and 5 had lovely Collector's Edition releases in super fancy boxes built to look like books

I've got them both on my shelf and they're two of the few games I refuse to re-box to something more space-efficient

@capn_pancakes probably Myst 3, 4, 5 given how much I keep going on about those games. Never managed to finish Riven and I've been wanting to do that before I do the rest of the series

@QueenMollyBones @Shrigglepuss Javid hadn't actually occurred to me as a contender before and now that he has I am legit a bit terrified because he really is good enough at Playing Nice to possibly get away with it

@QueenMollyBones @Shrigglepuss best case we'll get another round of hilarious public self-immolations like in 2016 and then the total collapse of the Conservative Party

@Shrigglepuss @QueenMollyBones JRM and Javid are the only ones I'm actually vaguely concerned about, none of the other obvious contenders have the skill or brains to get the job without immediately collapsing everything around them

@QueenMollyBones @Shrigglepuss I do worry that Javid might run because he's a particularly nasty piece of work even for a Tory, and he's politically savvy enough to repeat May's strategy of just about treading the line without pissing enough people off to get thrown out on his ass

@QueenMollyBones @Shrigglepuss my main hope is that whoever replaces her will be so bad they'll quickly cause an actual collapse of the government and/or tory party

like I can't imagine any of them other than JRM could hold a cabinet together for more than a week and JRM is far too hardline to guide a majority in parliament

@eris @Jo (see also: all EU releases of Fallout 2 being censored by making all the child NPCs invisible, invincible and non-interactable because the BBFC were all THINK OF THE CHILDREN

this broke a bunch of quests and caused bizarre bugs where e.g. projectiles would just fail to reach their target because an invisible invulnerable child was standing in the line of fire)
