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 definitive Doctor for me. Growing up during the wilderness years and VHS and UK Gold repeats were what we had to go on I loved both the earlier ‘horror’ seasons and the more humorous ones with the Romanas.
Wonderful actor.
Ace and the 7th Doctor were the first Doctor Who I saw - her beating up a Dalek with a baseball bat is my favourite companion moment ever from all of Who!
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 mean yeah, I’ve been unemployed for a significant part of my working life. I guess you can also add to my list being the last generation encouraged to get a degree by well meaning parents and teachers at school ‘because it will guarantee you getting a job for life’.
Definitely as a millennial I’m of the last generation that will remember arranging to meet up somewhere in advance and sticking to that plan (or rearranging over landline with more than a day’s notice…)
But something I’ve noticed when I ask people in my team what their dream jobs are the younger people tend to say ‘run their own businesses’, ‘work for themselves’ etc. Whereas in our generation (in my circles anyway) that definitely wasn’t so prominent. Maybe a side effect of seeing influencers making it big?
In my experience in my specific part of England that holds true - Aldi definitely seems a lot cleaner
It could grow on me. It’s hard to tell without seeing it in action
Not that it’s especially convincing but I think that the idea was that he was ‘playing a game’ when he’d been doing that stuff with the salt and then thrown it out into the ether for no reason other than messing about.
Or something? I don’t know. Much as I love a lot about RTD as a writer, he’s definitely not a details man on story elements…
I think it’s the ‘Boss’ and they’re building up an arc.
With the whole gold tooth thing I really hope it’s not as obvious as The Master but who knows yet
Yeah it’s a real shame because from what I saw of the Artemis app it looked good as well. I hope the dev is ok.
Kbin definitely needs a decent app. The web app does the job but it can be a bit irritating as you say
Yeah me and my son watched it and both preferred it to Star Beast (though we both liked Star Beast too) - Doctor Who does weird /surreal/uncanny exceptionally well and it had a nightmare Alice in Wonderland vibe in its visuals, especially when the Not Doctor/Donna were blocking the tunnel.
The Doctor picking the wrong Donna got us both, and seeing Wilf at the end was great. I loved the way that the Timeless Child was acknowledged in a dramatic way and moved on from (it’s a nod that RTD is respecting the continuity of the show but not going to let it get in the way of a good story).
If I was going to criticise, I’d say there was a bit of padding (really unlike Doctor Who) and some of the effects weren’t as good as they thought they were. But really what could be better for an anniversary story where they’re literally running up and down the same corridor?
Plus - technically a multi doctor story!
(I bet if I was younger and watching this high it would have been astonishing…)
2 made mine - ‘Hey Bulldog’ and ‘Cry Baby Cry’.
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
