@rccgames 4) I suspect many people are playing by gut feel, rather than working out the odds. That makes for a fairly boring conversation - “why did you do that”, “seemed like the best thing at the time”, “would this be better?”, “maybe? Or maybe my luck would be better next time”

@rccgames 3) sport has had analysis for years, you hear it on the media. So you know how to talk about sport at a higher/abstract level (formations, play choice). But even then, if you come across a sport you don’t know, you would struggle beyond the minimum of describing what you did.

I playtested Trailblazers, and the Epic Solo mode, 2 1/2 years ago. Today I got to play the final product. 103 points is some way off my pb, but it felt good to put down my first official #TripleCrown score. @rccgames @BitewingGames - anyone hit 150 yet?

[Darren Tanner @tannerd]

@rccgames Clearly, you need a different playtest group. Your existing one sounds too awesome.

[Darren Tanner @tannerd]

@rccgames I like coop games that have some hidden info between players, just to prevent one player quarterbacking the entire thing.

Oh, this is just a gorgeous explainer video of just how stunning the detail is from the first pic out (today!) from NASA’s new James Webb Space Telescope.

Look at all those worlds. 🥺

@brrrammers I’m level 80 something and still being ruined by poison… 🤦‍♂️

“Seriously I can just come out and say it? Call him a liar?” asks @JonathanPieNews, a fictional broadcast reporter created and performed by comedian Tom Walker, in a satirical video about Britain’s Prime Minister.

It's only one minute long, but this CCTV footage has a better narrative and more compelling character arcs than most of the arthouse films I've seen:

@chris_rob3rts @VolvoCarUK @BBCWatchdog @MartinSLewis So the wiring is a hot mess, and they can’t be bothered to untangle it? And you get to pay for it… Nice.

[Darren Tanner @tannerd]

@chris_rob3rts @VolvoCarUK @BBCWatchdog @MartinSLewis 10 weeks and £2.5k! Imagine what the cost would be if something important broke! That’s got to be a mistake, surely?

If I believe in anything, it is shared music as communion. Been sorely needed over these long months, and @Elbow were fantastic tonight. Catharsis.

@rccgames @Matt_D_McKinney @Capstone_Games Congrats!

@rccgames I love the Zachtronics games, although I tend to burn out on them before the end. After a while they feel a bit like work (as I work in software engineering) and less of an escape. I do get the feeling he designs for a very niche type though.

[Darren Tanner @tannerd]

@Voodoo_Roy Oh no! First I’d heard this. He was a hero of mine when I was little.

[Darren Tanner @tannerd]

@Voodoo_Roy That might mess up their makeup though...
