We made a long drive to play this and it was totally worth it. Some real head-twisting, impactful moments. Ideal for a convention game.

This is really well done. Worth a watch if the news is getting you down.
For noen kan et lite regnbueflagg bety at vi føler oss tryggere. Man ser flagget og tenker; « her kan jeg passe inn»
En enkel måte å vite at jeg også blir satt pris på.
Veldig fin video

Sorry to see Frederick Forsyth has died. I learned a lot about story structure from reading his thrillers.

Fifteen times a day, for the last three years, a guy called 'Eric' has hit my contact form claiming to have 'just discovered' my website and offering 'sales leads'. I never read beyond the first line. Keep trying, man; maybe tomorrow will be that special day when I finally respond.

I look for the implied story in stock photos. Here I think she's supposed to be a student, delighted with her new personal feedback from the AI. In fact she's from a stock photo called "Trendy young business woman" and has previously been used for marketing recruitment.
Not at all concerning to learn that Universities UK are partnering with a company to sell an AI product that offers automated feedback on student work. Who needs staff?
