Yeah, enough. I have no interest in being endlessly subjected to a narcissist’s turgid midlife crisis.

Folks – drop me a DM if you want to stay in touch.

@SamuelWRoberts Hey wait this is not Bluesky.

@SamuelWRoberts Hey, this is the same as my Very Good Plan for stupidly enormous, big-box boardgames!

I am not actually back, but I think there's a *slight* chance that some of you folks might appreciate British horror-comedy RPGs, and therefore be interested in @jimrossignol and @MarshDavies' gorgeous new thing.

It has a random pie table. FINALLY.

@betterthemask so weird that we writers preferred existing as tiny nuggets of prose

Whether Twitter lives or Twitter dies, I've decided to start up a new, more longform, more conversational way of communicating with you all.

Expect monthly updates, relentless teases about new projects and hopefully some experiments too. ❤️

NEW: I’m told Boris Johnson now has more than 100 backers and so could be on the ballot if he chooses to be

@Harkaway I would also suggest that “investing in vaccines” during a pandemic when you have the medical research power of the UK is not a blistering stroke of genius that no one else would have thought of.

My GDC 2021 talk is now publicly available!

It covers:

- Techniques to hone story and setting
- Good pitching practice
- Targeted consultation

Might be worth a look, I suppose, IF YOU LIKE THAT SORT OF THING.

@bengelinas @annlemay @CeriYoungWrites @valvez Massive congratulations, Ben! 🎉🎉🎉

@GriddleOctopus @catacalypto @Quinns108 No way do 100 MPs think Johnson is a viable solution (even if the party membership do). But I bet he’s loving the attention and the chaos that hinting he’s interested brings him.

I am VERY INTERESTED to see which egomaniacs think they’re in with a chance.

[Robert Saunders @redhistorian]

When you have "newspapers" like the Mail & Express, and ministers like Rees-Mogg & Dorries; when you drive out talent and experience; & when you turn the premiership into a subscriber benefit for party members, you cannot be surprised when your politics can't handle serious times
