Did you see the absolute torrent of propaganda coming from newly created US agency accounts on Bluesky?

I highly recommend a small device running something like Lyrion Music Server. Check out pi core for running it on Pi devices. My 25 year old speakers and amps, with various Pi devices fitted with DACs, is a cheaper and much more flexible solution that won't be killed off till they physically die.

Wait till he watches Grimm! He'll be ranting about Wesen cults in Portland and announcing his plans to root them out.

I've not seen anything that offers the smooth experience and all round package of my Deck. Sure, it is aging, but it works so well still. I'm happy to wait for a Deck 2.

KDE connect is amazing. You can add the Decky plugin to let it work in gaming mode too. My phone, Deck, and desktop are all interconnected. I also really enjoy getting SMS codes to my phone when logging into websites and not having to get my phone out as they come up on my device I am on.

How did they not even notice the die with two sides showing a 2? I mean, there are different layout dice, but that looks like a D6 just gone AI wrong. The AI also doesn't seem to understand that the pieces are supposed to be on the track. What an awful image. Get in a human artist and do it right!

That weight! It's over 1kg. And I thought my Deck was chunky but it's less than 60% of the Legion's weight.

Not just a reskin. Ricky has reworked some bits to refine the game heavily. He's confirmed it is not compatible with Renegade whatsoever.

A dark field has a series of light-colored elliptical rings in the center. Between two of the rings is a yellow-colored spot. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

I've had a dreaded customs warning email 😭 Waiting to get the full details.

We visited Korea last year. Our friends (not boardgamers) took us to two local shops but they only stocked imported American and European titles in English or translated to Korean. Not a single local title in sight. I was very disappointed. Meant to hunt further but didn't have time before we left

I'm one of the UK customers who has been meaning to make an order for a while, as my last was before customs rules fully changed. The other day made a rather large order for my friend and I, and eagerly awaiting it arriving. Just hope we don't get stung on import. Good luck with the US arrangements!

Nvidia driver bugs have been my most common and frustrating issue too. I remember the repeat horrors of an update and booting into a system that could no longer get to a GUI, requiring rollback of various Nvidia and associated packages. All went away when I moved to AMD.

@support.bsky.team This age verification website you've asked me to visit doesn't work as it never resolves. I've tried on WiFi and mobile network, with same result. Page just never loads.

Prompted me to send a donation, something I meant to do a long time ago. Thank you for your work on your excellent app.

@sainsburys.bsky.social Very disappointed that your Eastbourne branch has lost the bakery treats and the pizza counter. Those were what differentiated you for us, and we may as well shop elsewhere now

Erm, @michaeltunnell.bsky.social , did you mean 314? As I'm listening to that right now, and believe I listened to 313 last week.

Wish I could have been there this year! 2026 is the plan.

@mongoosepublishing.bsky.social Finally getting around to listening to my backer copy of the Frontier music CD, and really enjoying it. Track 11 sounds as though Top Gun had a baby with ECCO the Dolphin, and I am all in for that.

I've been solely using Linux at home for a long time, and you've been there helping me game long before Proton did. Thank you!
