I'm a Fall of Civilizations @fallofcivspod.bsky.social voice actor! In fact, I deliver the first and last readings you'll hear during The Mongols: Terror of the Steppe. I'm unbelievably chuffed to be part of one of my favourite podcasts. Huge thanks to @paulmmcooper.bsky.social for giving me a shot!

I have to thank @cjpt.bsky.social for putting up with my initial blundering questions as a beginner, and I owe @danshoehsu.bsky.social an entire Great British Bake Off season's worth of thank you cakes for repeatedly pushing me to improve my intros and teaching me so many other tricks
By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

Lex's review is a far more engaging, action-packed affair than anything I've encountered in the campaign thus far.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is a soulless and soul-destroying game that thinks exceptionally little of its players and developers.

With this as well as Persian Fire and Persians: Age of the Great Kings on my bookshelf, the end of the year is looking rather Archaemenid heavy 😅

There's an inherent eerieness to a vacant yet clearly occupied space. Gone Home triggered this a touch back in the day, but Blue Prince leans more with its narrative and the question of what, exactly, lies beyond each new door. That said, the greenhouse was lovely.
Since it’s Halloween this week I decided to talk about how Blue Prince is the scariest non horror video game I played this year

Utterly baffling response. Police waste time making pointless arrests at peaceful protest, so the logic is to make more peaceful protests an arrestable offence. Going to be abused further, too.

Police to get broader powers to crack down on repeated protests
The move is not a ban on protests but "about restrictions and conditions", Shabana Mahmood tells the BBC.
