horror timeloop game where an entire group gets timelooped and have to work together to break out but realize in horror after a really good loop that one of them no longer remembers any of the progress made and now does the same thing every loop. they have to get out individually. they cant escape together. making progress means reducing the amount of people you have with you

This fucking merchant in Treviso, Juanita, has been telling me about her storied past with an abusive husband who was an earl. I was like mildly invested and then

Motherfucker has been telling me the plot of fucking Goodbye Earl by The Chicks this entire time.

We often talk about "ludonarrative dissonance" in terms of morality and situations like "the story says violence is bad, but the gameplay enables and encourages you to kill things" but my actual fave version of it is "the story says you have a very serious plot-relevant time-sensitive thing to do, but the gameplay enables and encourages you to buzz off into the world and search for collectibles for five weeks"

And I know I've got Rose and Shaun and you. And the biggest sausage roll I've ever seen, frankly. I should be happy. I should be really happy. But some nights, I lie in bed, thinking... "What have I lost?"

a work in progress

Amaury "Chocolate Guy" Guichon is undoubtedly an extremely skilled sculptor in chocolate but I think my favorite thing about a lot of his videos is the effort he puts into putting actual dessert food under the sculpture work

So many of his desserts & pastries have at least 5 layers of different textures & flavors. Fruit jams, caramel, cake, creams, mousse, cookies, meringue, crumb layers etc

That's what makes his work truly impressive to me, especially as someone who quickly got tired of the "knife that turns everything into cake" thing, where it was all basic chocolate cake buried under 13 layers of fondant

It takes amaury's work from an impressive stunt to "if I ate that, it would probably be the best thing I'd eat in my whole life"

So... I found this and now it keeps coming to mind. You hear about "life-changing writing advice" all the time and usually its really not—but honestly this is it man.

I'm going to try it.

Welcome to LoLiLoDaily!

The 10 year anniversary of Lovely Little Losers by @thecandlewasters is coming up, and we are organising a fan-run daily experience. Follow along via substack as four flatmates embark on the uni experience in this 2015 Love’s Labour’s Lost inspired web series.

Emails will include youtube videos and other transmedia content like tweets. The first one comes this December, while the main body of emails runs from 15 July - 26 December 2025.

This blog is run by @thebirdscomeback, @galwithalibrarycard, @areadingturtle and @cardboardsean. The substack itself is run by thebirdscomeback and cardboardsean. Send your questions about the experience here or to one of us, and find other fans in the #lolilodaily tag! (NB this is entirely fan-run, the actual creators of the show are of course The Candle Wasters)

We’re so excited to revisit the losers with you all!

I do love it when a narrowly targeted indie RPG's rules get popular for entirely unrelated applications, so now we're just stuck with this dorkass piece of nomenclature forever. You're playing as the cast of Scooby-Doo and the system you're using for that is something called "the Apocalypse Engine".

The trolley is about to run over all sentient life in the galaxy. You cannot switch the tracks, but you can still save everyone’s lives by pulling one of three levers, all of which involve sacrificing yourself. The red lever will destroy all trolleys, but will also kill you as well as all public transportation across the galaxy. The blue lever will merge your own consciousness with all trolleys, allowing you to control them and stop the trolley from running everyone over. The green lever will use your body as a catalyst to synthesize organic life and public transportation together - organic life will no longer be stuck in the cycle of creating public transportation that rebels against its creators, and both forms of life will finally be free.

I love Star Trek with all my heart, but good god, whenever I see them do "Science" it makes me laugh so hard because PPE and Safety Protocols are literally nonexistent

Not to mention WHERE is the fume hood......

And not a single Electronic balance to be seen
