Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in.
Let me explain to you why any experienced illustrator/designer could have stopped you making so many miserable mistakes. 1/

I did not need more reasons to despise Riot, but here's some extra ones anyway!
3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

Happy 21st anniversary to #MetroidPrime2Echoes! Released on this day in 2004, it introduced a Light and Dark World, expanded the Metroid universe with the new Luminoth race, and saw the debut of Dark Samus. It was also the first Metroid game to have a multiplayer mode.

His Majesty the Worm is an excellent #ttrpg take on dungeon crawling. I can't say enough positive things about it, its design, its flavour, and its approach to poking around in mythic underworlds. I'd love to get it to the table some day for a campaign. It also has an excellent magic system.
Mothership Month? Mausritter Month? Gosh, everyone's been busy!
We've been running a Monster Mash jam on the Worm Discord server! Lots of folks joining together to make a BEASTIARY for HIS MAJESTY THE WORM.

Today has been a really struggling with low energy day and I'm musing about what happened to cause this dip in my always kinda difficult energy levels.
Then I remember I got Shingles about 18 months ago...
Really recommend learning about the early signs of Shingles. It's brutal if it takes hold.

In all seriousness...
Why not just have Craig's Bond be the person the codename was named after?
Like.. his stint already clearly implied that he's the "first" James Bond. (Though not the first 007.)
Just have the Name get stuck to the number as a rememberance thing?

Something I think that is rather key to understanding a lot of things right now in the UK discourse:
People often have never been taught or have some to an understanding of the major difference between concept and execution.
This is also a game design post.

Our political and pundit class is so incapable or unwilling to ever actually make any arguments as to why something is good.
So many people in the country have been taught to think that if there's criticisms of something the only recourse is to destroy it.
It's toxic.

I've noted it a lot, I will doubtlessly note it again, how weird it is that the TRPG hobby specifically devotes so much discourse to trying to distance itself from the actual "game" part of the acronym
Game mechanics aren't that special.
There is nothing inherently better about rolling 2d6 vs a d12, rolling over or under a stat for a skill check, or using tokens.
The special part is when you, the designer, noticing how a particular mechanic lets you share a part of the human experience
