A dog’s paw print on a Roman clay tile 🐾 🐕 😍
About 2,000 years-ago, a dog made its mark for ‘pawsterity’ when it wandered across the wet tile laid out to dry before firing.

An arrowhead made of #meteorite iron: around 1,500 BC, a meteorite struck #Estonia. A fragment of it arrived - presumably in the baggage of an amber trader - at what is now Lake Biel, #Switzerland. An arrowhead was then made there from the cosmic iron.
From Mörigen, 900-800 BC.

I love @digitalsungames.com new Moonlighter but I have to confess something
I thought Will was an older man. The whole first game I thought I was hanging with an older adventurer who had seen stuff and just wanted to sell loot. The new one? Everyone calls him a boy. Even the art has shocked me

We got a lot of questions at MDev concerning the flying sheep and if they were supposed to be like that
And the answer is yes. They are an integral part of this story and the player's journey, that's why they're everywhere 🐑

Delightful detail from the Roman “unswept floor” mosaic by Heraclitus, showing a mouse nibbling a walnut.
Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effect!

Hey friends. Many of you know that every year, I help raise money to ensure that kids get the medical care they need regardless of their ability to pay.
With all the funding cuts, it's even more important that do my best to try to raise as much as possible.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
